I was with a party of 6 for dinner. I ordered filet mignon, medium rare. It came well done. I sent it back and 15 minutes later received a steak raw and cold in the middle. I asked to speak to a manager. My server took the steak back and returned with it 5 minutes later still raw. A this... More

We had a great time with my mum and Wife. I recommend eating pasta, duck and looking at the next table steaks!

Read TA reviews. Knew it was not highly regarded. Went with a penny pinching group of 20 people. In that sense, it was just fine, understanding one gets what one pays for. Good part was a semiprivate balcony seating for the group. Expectations met. No more, no less. Essentially a very boring menu with unimaginative preparations which were simply okay.... More

Hummus was runny and tasteless, mussells app only has 4 small pieces, the spinach and artichoke dip contained crab (an apparent mistake by the kitchen), the sangria was overly syrupy, penne lynonnaise has a good sauce, not fresh pasta. The most disappointing note I have was there was no manager present at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday. With no management... More

There's a lot of different food here but we all loved what we got. I had linquine with seafood and it had a really nice, light marina sauce. We were there again after sightseeing for the day. It was happy hour so drinks were priced well. The day was warming up so they opened the whole front of the restaurant!... More

My wife and I came to Bistro Bistro quite by accident, on a Saturday night where our plans got shot. Our spirits were down, and when we arrived the place looked a bit generic... no table open so we sat at the bar, where we were pretty much ignored for a half an hour. (Our bartender finally did make a... More

We stopped for a quick lunch. I ordered the spinach salad and the coquille St. Jacque. Hubby had crepes. Was surprised to see the same sauce for my coquille was used on his crepe. The only difference was his was swimming in chicken, mine in scallops. Meh. That alone knocked this review down for me. However on the upside, you... More

We ate here because it was Friday night and we could not get a table at other restaurants. warm bread and the mussel mariniere was delicious. However the mains of prawn pasta and stuff prawns are ordinary. Service was very efficient though.

I was impressed by the huge variety of offerings at the Sunday brunch, but you do have to be a bit careful about what you choose. Some items had been on the warming trays too long and were just warm. This also dried out some of the food. I noticed this early on and simply did not finish anything that... More

The meal was very pricey and I have had better lamb at the outback. Service was good but just average. The bread and pesto they serve was really good. I would probably not return based on the food that we had.
