Gonzales Bistro is an upscale restaurant that makes its home near the very heart of Independence square. We are the only restaurant by the square with prime & waygu aged steaks, fresh seafood, New England oysters. The bistro offers a Wine Spectator Magazine award winning wine list, craft cocktails including house made Tiki drinks. Our reputation is based on repeat diner loyalty not marketing.

Gonzales Bistro changes menus often in order to take advantage of local, seasonal products. Chef Parind's food has big flavors & is seasoned assertively, yet is nuanced, complex, and most importantly, balanced.

Come join us and experience big city dining without all the hassles. Gonzales Bistro is a intimate space with an open kitchen, wood ceilings, framed by great black & white pictures from a bygone era while the charming independence square offers free parking, wide open spaces & vistas of historic buildings. Nearby parks, art galleries and shopping define the sophistication of Gonzales.

The food at Gonzales Bistro is always absolutely phenomenal! Each dish is a work of art. The Ahi tuna is some of the best I've ever had. The filet mignon is cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning so that you can really taste the flavor of the steak. It’s clear the chefs put a lot of care into their craft. The cocktail menu has a variety of expertly crafted drinks to choose from. The Mexican Martini and Espresso Martinis are personal favorites.

This was our 5th visit. Staff is awesome. Food is also awesome. They offered a traditional Thanksgiving dinner which looked delicious. However we chose their Prime Rib dinner. It was delicious and very tender. Always a great experience for a small gourmet restaurant.
