As we have come to expect, the food and service was excellent. While the menu is limited, everything is top quality. I enjoyed the sea bass and my wife the salmon, both were excellent. We also enjoyed a nice wine suggested by our server. As it was my wife’s birthday, the complimentary dessert was really appreciated. The Bistro is our go to restaurant for those special occasions. We highly recommend it!

I will definitely be back. I wish I had remembered our server's name. She was a slender white woman who did a great job.

The experience was wonderful. Very romantic. The food was great and the service was excellent but I do wish they stopped checking in on us every 10min. It was hard to have a discussion as we kept getting interrupted to see if we needed water or something else
