BC Bistro is a hidden gem. Went in there Christmas Eve. Sat at the bar. Steve was an amazing bartender. It was a prefixed menu. The grilled octopus was amazing we also had the egg roll forgot what it was stuffed with, it was Yummy. Short ribs and dinner and of course all the desserts are outstanding. So Merry Christmas BC and Happy New Year.

This place used to be our go-to restaurant for all occasions when we lived at Hampton CT in Kew Gardens. Their weekly prime rib special was a must and always good fun at the bar. I decided to have a group brunch with friends to celebrate Christmas as it was more centrally located for everyone. Having been away for nearly 7 years, it was like seeing an old friend again. Food is always prepared thoughtfully and the staff is awesome. Not surprising to learn that John, the general manager is still there. Thanks Austin Ale House for another great memory.
