   Good meal as always. Excellent service. Crowded so a bit noisy but not intolerably. The manager called after we had left to say they hadn't returned our restaurant card, which was a very nice gesture. I told them I didn’t need it but thanks.

   Service was very good, the price points for the main course was way off, to high for the level of quality, this might be a burger place

   This was my first time dining at this restaurant and sadly, I do not think I will return here. The night began with a very friendly and knowledgeable server, but started with us being told that the main 2 dishes we were interested in ordering, unfortunately, they were out of that for the night. (The short rib dish, and the scallop dish) After this disappointment we pushed forward and began by trying the She crab bisque. The soup was not good. Lacked flavor and seemed to be “watered down”. We did wait a long time for our dinner to arrive, but, being that this was Saturday night on the weekend of Valentine’s Day, this was to be expected. When the food arrived, my duck confit burger was not cooked the proper temperature, which the server did apologize about. My husband’s surf and turf meal was definitely mediocre, and not what we were hoping for considering the price. The steak was “okay” the mashed potatoes, “okay” the broccoli, “okay”, nothing about the dish was delicious. The best part of the experience was the friendly server, honestly. That’s about it.

   There was a bit of a wait for food but it was worth it. After all, it was Valentine’s Day.

   The she crab bisque was watery. I will say the bread was wonderful. The waitress was very polite but forgot to put in a food order. Luckily I didn't end up wanting to wait for it. The restaurant itself is beautiful. There is definitely room for improvement.

   Had dinner with family. Made reservations for 5. Showed up 15 minutes early, and there were only about six people in the restaurant. By 5:30, the place was packed. Excellent service, and everyone love their meals.

   We found 219 Bistro on yelp, as we are visiting from out of town. Overall our experience was pleasant. Two mishaps was the waitress misheard the beer my husband ordered and brought him the wrong beer and the soup he ordered never came. The truffle fries were very tasty, whereas the fries that came with the duck burger were not. The shrimp scamp was light, easy on garlic as asked, and very much enjoyable.
