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.

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!
I enjoy the outings to the Bistro & Bakery. The experience and food is most always a surprising variation. When it isn't a recipe with a surprising twist, it is still excellent food.

Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive service from the host and the server. Interesting to be able to watch our food being prepared by the culinary students. We also, stopped by the bakery around 12:20 and they were already sold out.

We shared the Ahi tartar & mango salad & they were both delicious. My husband had the short ribs & I had the salmon. Both were very good. The desserts were great as well. Presentation was done well & the service was on point.

LBCC Bistro is amazing. The students and staff create a phenomenal environment. The food is amazing. It's always great. The students and the entire staff are the epitome of customer service.

First time dining here with the $20 pre fixe menu. Had the tuna tartare appetizer, the braised short rib entree, and the matcha crème brûlée. The food was very good! The service was slow throughout the visit. I think it's a great idea to be able to have the culinary students practice while allowing patrons to try the food!
This is a student run restaurant in the culinary department at LBCC (Building V at the corner of Clark and Carson). They offer a three course lunch (you can select for two options per course) for $20. Best deal in town. The food is good and the service is fast and attentive. Public Parking is challenging. There is 30 minute parking on Clark Ave. There is a student and faculty lot right next to Building V. I couldn't tell if public parking was available in the lot. I finished my three courses in 30 minutes so parking on Clark wasn't a problem
The presentation of each dish was superb. I worked with French and Italian Chefs and the presentation as well as the taste and texture of the food was important. Being able to watch the production from the windows and screens was an added touch of the experience.
Since my retirement I been coming to the LBCC bistro for over 5 years. The food, the service, and the ambiance have been amazing. The Bistro offers a 3 course meal including a drink for $20.00, you can't beat that. Great job?

Better food descriptions- I.e. farm raised salmon, chicken thigh and leg on bone for example. Appetizer excellent, chicken mole good would have preferred temperature hotter. It was warm. Chocolate flan cake nothing special however sweet potato fried dessert excellent. Overall a good meal.

You must make reservations to eat here and only on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Very pretty atmosphere. There are TV's showing them preparing your food. Really cool to see hands on learning taking place. They give you a few options from a set menu for the week and you can pay extra if you want to try more than one. It is a 3-course meal. Appetizer, main course and dessert. Very cool experience. I would go again.
