    We have been dining at Bistango from time to time over the past 15 years. It has had its mediocre periods but is now quite enjoyable. The food and service was excellent last night and they have remodeled the dining area to provide relatively quiet tables despite the live music. We'll be back sooner rather than later.

    Great meal. Wonderful hot rolls, salmon with sweet potato puree and broccolini. Got the Salmon grilled with lovely sauce on the side. Soufflé and crème puffs for dessert. Booth was perfect and could even see the Dodgers win the World Series on the bar TV!

    We asked our friends to join us for dinner at this fabulous venue. Everyone liked their food except me. I ordered the bacon-wrapped shrimp w/risotto. The chef should slightly precook the bacon before wrapping the shrimp because my shrimp were WAY OVERDONE trying to get the bacon thorougly cooked. I LOVE shrimp, but overcooked shrimp are AWFUL! Other than my shrimp, all was up to this venues usual high standards and we'll definitely be back!
