    It had been a long time since we had been to Bistro Niko, primarily because our last experience wasn’t the best. For the holidays, we decided to give Bistro Niko another try because of the festive decor and recent reviews we read. I have to say, everything was stellar! Our group was impressed with the food, and the service. Everything we ate was delicious! I think my favorites were the Florida shrimp and tuna tartar appetizers. The beet salad was also amazing. Entrees, you can’t go wrong with the Trout or Twin Beef Tenderloin steaks. Very tasty. Borgi, our server was excellent! Gave us great service and was very attentive. He checked on us frequently without being too much. A big part of our pleasant experience had to do with him. Ours girls night out at Bistro Niko was fantastic!

    We had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Lily! Loved the pasta and my companion loved her Caesar salad with jerk chicken. We splurged on the sorbet, which was also excellent.

    Our group enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening - we have a diverse group of tastes and Le Colonial provided something for everyone! The starters are the perfect size to share and we decided to order an assortment of large plates. Everything from the menu is tasty and fantastic! Drinks and service were ready and well paced. Thank you for a fun night!
