Best Bistros in Springfield

Lovely service, delicious food and cozy, sophisticated ambiance.

This was our third time at Bistro Lepic and it proved why we keep coming back. We had a wonderful experience celebrating our daughter's birthday. The French onion soup was rich and flavorful, and the beef medallions were cooked perfectly. The seabass special was the highlight—absolutely delicious! We ordered four entrees and they were all incredible. The service was warm and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made for a truly enjoyable meal. We’ll definitely be returning yet again! Highly recommend.

When we arrived our table was ready for us which was a couch and a couple of chairs. The host took our drink order (a lemon drop and strawberry martini) which made us really happy because there was a nice amount of people there and waiting for the waiter to place the drink order could’ve resulted in us getting our drink when we received our food or after. We got the garlic parm wings for an appetizer and lasagna and grilled chicken Alfredo for the main course everything we ordered was 10/10 the silverware was clean and shiny which I actually trusted putting my mouth on. The experience was warm and inviting and I will definitely be returning.

Our food and ambiance was wonderful. Our server was good until she asked if we wanted dessert, then informed us we had to be out of our table in 10 minutes for another party. If we had a heads up, we would have gladly rushed along, but every step of the way the server told us “take your time, enjoy”. We got booted promptly at 7:00 and brought our drinks that we had ordered before we knew we had 10 minute to order/drink them/order dessert/be gone, to the bar. The entire time we sat at the bar, the bartender was giving us unsettling looks/gesturing to another server their confusion as to why we were sitting at the bar DRINKING COCKTAILS. Once we finished our drinks and started to get our coats on, one bar stool was not completely pushed in under the bar, and our waitress physically kicked it under the bar with anger and said something under her breath. SO BIZARRE! The evening was great until it wasn’t. I have never experienced something like this and left feeling very disappointed and unsettled. Please do better.

Six of us met at Maison Cheryl for a special reunion, and our experience could not have been better! The food was outstanding; special raves for the squash soup, roasted cauliflower, and grilled swordfish. The restaurant is stylish yet warm, the background music unobtrusive, and the noise level conducive to easy conversation. But the best part of Maison Cheryl is the service: super attentive, professional yet warm. And we were lucky to enjoy a brief chat with the chef and owner. All in all, a terrific evening, and we look forward to returning. Thanks!
