    As a LBCC alumni, we looked forward to this special opportunity to come back to the campus and eat at the LBCC Bistro. We had a wonderful gourmet food experience. The Latin themed 3 course lunch was delicious. We had the yam cakes appetizer, an outstanding entree of seared white fish in a delicious chimichurra sauce, and a unique sweet tamale dessert. The staff were professional and friendly. Our server, Frank, was polite, friendly and answered all our questions. Loved watching the chefs on the big screen in the room and behind the glass window. It was a terrific experience from start to finish and we look forward to another visit in the future!

    Loved our experience at LBCC Bistro. There were four of us. We were quickly shown to our table. The patio was lovely. As long as you realize these students are just learning and give them the benefit of the doubt, the food is truly worth it, we enjoyed ourselves, and would go back. Our appetizers were delicious (we tried both the olive tapenade and the green bean potato salad). The servers were trying hard, but they came out to our table with entrees from a table which arrived about 15 minutes after us. They set down the lamb chops to one of us before we realized that the rest of the dishes were not ours. Had to wait a bit to get the remaining entrees. Noticed that the vegetables were switched between the lamb chops and the fish dish, but it wasn’t a big deal. The entrees were delicious and perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were buttery stars and most of us agreed they were our favorite. Creme Brulee was outstanding. The chocolate tart had a very hard pastry shell but the chocolate portion was great. All in all a fun outing and we’d do it again.

    Had the Brie bake appetizer, and it was good. Order Ratatouille to begin the presentation was very cute and it tasted out of this world and was incredible delicious. It melts in your month was not dry at all. I’m not a fan of eggplant because of the texture. This dish wholly change that the slices were very thin. I did not even notice the texture of the eggplant and the bell pepper complimented the dish very well. I totally felt in love with the Ratatouille best dish so far that I have try in the bistro

    I’ve enjoyed coming to the Bistro for several years, however, the food was terrible on October 16. They didn’t season the food at all.

    Although we love going here, the door kept slamming throughout our meal and it was very distracting and loud. The pork belly was excellent with the noodles! I loved the citrus on the noodles, very tasty. Our main course was mixed. The white fish was cooked to perfection! Very flaky and flavorful! The curry on the other hand was bland with little curry flavor and unseasoned. The chicken also seemed tough, which I didn’t think was possible with chicken thighs. The flan was nice. The ice cream was a little grainy and the cookie was a little thick and seemed stale.
