    We had a wonderful evening at Biff’s Bistro, made even cozier by its warm lighting and candlelit ambiance. The coat check was a thoughtful touch, and our server, Andrea, was amazing, helping us choose the perfect dishes. Highlights included the Chicken Liver Parfair with their crunchy house mustard, flavorful sweetbreads, Coq au Vin with rich red wine sauce, and their duck that was cooked to perfection! To top it all off, the restaurant gifted us a small jar of their house mustard, which was so good it reminded me of Kozlik’s Triple Crunch. Overall, it was an exceptional evening with great food, a cozy ambiance, and outstanding service.

    Service wasn’t that great - we had to flag server down and still they didn’t attend to us right away. And there were many flies flying around the table which was very strange. Otherwise food was good.
