    excellent prefix dinner choices- all 3 of us had the sea bass, one had issues 24 hours after with the fish, he told me at home it had a smell to it when served; this is our go-to -place for special events-sadly the table next to us had 6 very loud customers, they were definitely not respectful of other customers, most of them traveled from out of state and had no clue re: fine dining courtesies to close neighbors, they made the bistro attendees look way ore respectful of other customers- overall, was a nice place for a dinner, Mo

    Everything was wonderful except for the woman seated near us who talked on her phone with the speaker on the entire time. It might be good to post a sign that asks people to be considerate of others and turn off their phones.
