I made a reservation because when I called them I was told I had to through OpenTable. OpenTable is great so that wasn’t a problem, but we walked in and there was only 3 people in the place. They were out of seafood/oysters and steak so the only options were chicken or a burger. The service was OK, but for the lack of customers you would assume it would have been better. We’ve been returning over the years because of the ambience and to grab a quick drink, but this was the first time we chose to dine there and it was extremely disappointing. We actually left and went to grab dinner somewhere else. I think it’s a great spot and it was probably just a random one off, but it was disappointing. Due to the weather this was technically our Valentine’s Day dinner(just a few days late) because it got delayed from the previous Friday. We are going to try again though.

Servers very friendly. Took a while to get our food though even though it wasn’t too busy. Portions small for the price.

I set the wrong expectations for this restaurant. I read Bistro and in my mind I was expecting more than a hamburger option for lunch. They did have many delicious looking breakfast options, but we were there for lunch. Our server was less than stellar.

Overall disappointing. Super slow service when the place was empty. Dirty drink glasses after waiting a half hour for a drink. Food was decent but no reason to return.

Many items were sold out and prices were expensive for what we got. Didn’t seem a good value for a meal but might be good if a person just wanted bar snacks with drinks.

Great food, well prepared. Milo was an attentive and friendly server. Her food recommendations were spot on. The small plates allowed us to dine on four courses at a leisurely pace as we listened to the well curated music (Milo’s playlist). The room was warm with decor that was eclectic class. We hope to return soon!
