Student run program, so well done. The food and service were great.
My entree was not warm enough, but it was very tasty. Lulu had us reach for the water we ordered on the tray. Usually the server sets the water on the table so this was different. The
From start to finish, my experience at LBCC Bistro was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious — you could taste the care and skill in every bite. The host was exceptional, checking in several times throughout the meal without being intrusive. I really appreciated the level of professionalism: I was always asked if I was finished before anything was removed from my table, which shows great attention to detail and respect. Every staff member contributed to a smooth and pleasant dining atmosphere. I would rate the entire experience a perfect 10.
Waiter took order and never came back. Busser took silver ware after appetizer but never brought replacements. No drinks ever served after ordering. Asked for more water none ever came. Chicken was gray colored and pasta dry. Disappointing.
The LBCC Bistro is a hidden gem. Its great! The food is delicious, creative and so well thought out. Fine dining for sure!!
I followed Apple Maps and parked further away, as the bistro is actually at the other side of the street. I was early and paid meter parking already, so the walk was not bad. Please check where the bistro is with Google maps if you don't know where it is already. The food was pretty good and at great value, the environment was quite nice. Though I wished for some fresh cracked pepper or salt maybe. The server that first helped me with my order did not get what I said correctly at first, but if was corrected when he re-verified the order. They forgot to charge me for iced tea, I told that they forgot to charge me, and it was corrected. All in all, good experience.
The menu designated for the time I went had really poor choice of ingredients. Very bad choice of dish as well as the fact the food was pretty tasteless.
The food at the LBCC Bistro is always Outstanding. The service is exceptional and the plating is spot on. I am always amazed that everything is prepared by culinary arts students. Everything looks and tastes like it came from a fine dining restaurant. Kudos to the instructors and students. I will definitely be back.
We had so much fun going back on campus as alumni to have lunch at the LBCC Bistro. The menu for the day we made reservations featured Mediterranean style dining. We shared two appetizers—Spinakopita and pita with Hummus, Babaganoush, and tabbouli. Both appetizers were delicious. My husband ordered the sea bass for his entree, which was served with rice and asparagus. I ordered the chicken kabob, which was served on a bed of rice with veggies. Both entrees were tasty and presented beautifully. We shared two desserts—ice cream with a baklava topping and a honey soaked cake. Both were outstanding, flavorful and a treat for the eye. It was a delightful lunch. Our server, Lulu, was great as were the chefs and helpers. The LBCC Culinary Arts program is excellent. We enjoyed watching the chefs at work through the large picture window to the kitchen and the closeups on the tv screens in the dining room.
Loved our experience at LBCC Bistro. There were four of us. We were quickly shown to our table. The patio was lovely. As long as you realize these students are just learning and give them the benefit of the doubt, the food is truly worth it, we enjoyed ourselves, and would go back.
Our appetizers were delicious (we tried both the olive tapenade and the green bean potato salad).
The servers were trying hard, but they came out to our table with entrees from a table which arrived about 15 minutes after us. They set down the lamb chops to one of us before we realized that the rest of the dishes were not ours. Had to wait a bit to get the remaining entrees. Noticed that the vegetables were switched between the lamb chops and the fish dish, but it wasn’t a big deal. The entrees were delicious and perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were buttery stars and most of us agreed they were our favorite.
Creme Brulee was outstanding. The chocolate tart had a very hard pastry shell but the chocolate portion was great.
All in all a fun outing and we’d do it again.

Had the Brie bake appetizer, and it was good. Order Ratatouille to begin the presentation was very cute and it tasted out of this world and was incredible delicious. It melts in your month was not dry at all. I'm not a fan of eggplant because of the texture. This dish wholly change that the slices were very thin. I did not even notice the texture of the eggplant and the bell pepper complimented the dish very well. I totally felt in love with the Ratatouille best dish so far that I have try in the bistro
I've enjoyed coming to the Bistro for several years, however, the food was terrible on October 16. They didn't season the food at all.
Love this place, it's fun to watch the kitchen as well in the screen. Not sure if everyone knows in the kitchen that they are broadcasted, but it adds to the charme. Food is great and always a great experience.
We love it here and look forward to the openings every semester. This was no exception. The food was very good as usual. The service was excellent. I had the polenta and my husband had caprese salad. Both were good but we thought his was a bit better. We both had the pasta and roast pork with peas. Excellent! As as the panna cotta for dessert. A very nice dining experience. We had a problem with our reservation. We had an email confirmation but for some reason our name was not on the list. That was cleared up soon enough. The cost in the past had been $20 per meal but when our bill came the entree, appetizer, and dessert were all billed separately and significantly more than the $20. I asked our waitress and it was resolved very quickly. Other than these two minor things it was wonder and we're going back next week!
