We are the only restaurant by the square with prime & waygu aged steaks, fresh seafood, New England oysters.

The food at Gonzales Bistro is always absolutely phenomenal! Each dish is a work of art. The Ahi tuna is some of the best I've ever had. The filet mignon is cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning so that you can really taste the flavor of the steak. It’s clear the chefs put a lot of care into their craft. The cocktail menu has a variety of expertly crafted drinks to choose from. The Mexican Martini and Espresso Martinis are personal favorites.

This was our 5th visit. Staff is awesome. Food is also awesome. They offered a traditional Thanksgiving dinner which looked delicious. However we chose their Prime Rib dinner. It was delicious and very tender. Always a great experience for a small gourmet restaurant.
