    Food was delicious. Service a little slow, especially getting initial beverages. Our request for seating was granted, which was very nice. Ambiance seemed a little more chaotic than normal but recognized there was some new staff training going on. Overall, lively evening and we will be back.

    The Bistro has the best steak in the Coachella Vslley. It’s our favorite place for a special occasion. We always share a meal. We shared a Caesar salad which was plenty as shared and brought to us already divided. For a $12 fee our shared entree was divided in the kitchen. Shared the 12 oz filet and we each selected our own sides (full size portion) with left overs brought home. Steak was melt in your mouth tender! Justin was our waiter and knows what he’s doing. Professional yet friendly! Afterwards always move to the bar for a chocolate espresso martini served by the best bartender ever-Adrian. Always enjoy great conversation with him and he makes fabulous drinks!! Only criticism we have is we find it very strange that reservations are always only available very early or late. Never during the prime dining hour -6 to 7 even when the restaurant is not busy. This applied to us last night. Could only get 5:15 or 7:30 ??

    Food was tasty but portions are quite small. Definitely a small bite restaurant. Pizza was the b far the best value. We are the Thai shrimp cakes which were delicious and the buratta was also quite good. Cocktails were amazing just a tad pricey.
