    We had so much fun going back on campus as alumni to have lunch at the LBCC Bistro. The menu for the day we made reservations featured Mediterranean style dining. We shared two appetizers—Spinakopita and pita with Hummus, Babaganoush, and tabbouli. Both appetizers were delicious. My husband ordered the sea bass for his entree, which was served with rice and asparagus. I ordered the chicken kabob, which was served on a bed of rice with veggies. Both entrees were tasty and presented beautifully. We shared two desserts—ice cream with a baklava topping and a honey soaked cake. Both were outstanding, flavorful and a treat for the eye. It was a delightful lunch. Our server, Lulu, was great as were the chefs and helpers. The LBCC Culinary Arts program is excellent. We enjoyed watching the chefs at work through the large picture window to the kitchen and the closeups on the tv screens in the dining room.

    It took a little long for me to get my order taken. The foot was a bit salty but the dessert made up for it.

    As a LBCC alumni, we looked forward to this special opportunity to come back to the campus and eat at the LBCC Bistro. We had a wonderful gourmet food experience. The Latin themed 3 course lunch was delicious. We had the yam cakes appetizer, an outstanding entree of seared white fish in a delicious chimichurra sauce, and a unique sweet tamale dessert. The staff were professional and friendly. Our server, Frank, was polite, friendly and answered all our questions. Loved watching the chefs on the big screen in the room and behind the glass window. It was a terrific experience from start to finish and we look forward to another visit in the future!

    Loved our experience at LBCC Bistro. There were four of us. We were quickly shown to our table. The patio was lovely. As long as you realize these students are just learning and give them the benefit of the doubt, the food is truly worth it, we enjoyed ourselves, and would go back. Our appetizers were delicious (we tried both the olive tapenade and the green bean potato salad). The servers were trying hard, but they came out to our table with entrees from a table which arrived about 15 minutes after us. They set down the lamb chops to one of us before we realized that the rest of the dishes were not ours. Had to wait a bit to get the remaining entrees. Noticed that the vegetables were switched between the lamb chops and the fish dish, but it wasn’t a big deal. The entrees were delicious and perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were buttery stars and most of us agreed they were our favorite. Creme Brulee was outstanding. The chocolate tart had a very hard pastry shell but the chocolate portion was great. All in all a fun outing and we’d do it again.
