    Made reservation through Open Table. It was accepted by the restaurant. Showed up & checked in with the hostess who, after seeing my reservation, dismissively said, “as you can see, we are very full and I cannot seat you.” No attempt to address the fact that they accepted a reservation that, presumably, the restaurant indicated was available yet refused to honor. Poor showing on that end of the visit - both the restaurant’s decision to put reservation openings that won’t be honored on Open Table & the hostess’ indifference & dismissive attitude. Fortunately, 2 spots at the bar opened up and we were able to eat. The bartender was great and the food was good too. However, had we not been very hungry, we would have left the restaurant after that lackluster interaction with the hostess.

    Very loud. Hard to have a conversation. I’m diabetic and asked for double veg and was told they don’t do substitutions. That’s a substitution? Food was adequate.

    Our last two trips to the Bistro have been excellent. Both of us loved our dinners and the Creme Brulee while expensive was amazing.

    This place has little to no ambiance. At 5pm we were the only table seated in the whole place, and it was very quiet. The hostess was also our server, came to our table too many times, and we felt rushed. The food was average. The cacio e Pepe was more salty than peppery. No live music, and no happy hour specials.

    Absolutely outstanding food and service. Had French Onion Soup. Good. What would make it outstanding? Probably personal preference but we like a darker richer broth. Had Caesar Salad. Outstanding. Finally, someone using a delicious dressing and the proper cheese. Had the small plate beef tips. Yum. Then chicken tenders and French fries. Too good to leave behind. Coffee was strong just like we like it and it was actually hot like we like it even after we put our cream in. Appreciate the noise level was perfect so we could have a conversation. Will definitely return.
