The food was absolutely delicious! We had the gnocchi and the truffle risotto, both of which were incredible. The cocktails were equally impressive— I tried the Frou Frou and my friend had the Frenchy 75. We both loved them. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

I like that underground parking is connected to the restaurant so we didn’t have to step outside in the freezing cold.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Biff's Bistro before seeing a show at the Meridian. The room was comfortable and the server was very attentive to our needs and gave us good information about the menu items. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the french onion soup, which the five of us had. The only minor disappointment was the mushroom risotto, but other than that, everything was really good! We would come again :)
