What a darling French bistro! This is a neighborhood gem for sure. Cozy and charming with a great menu of French comfort food. Reminded me of our corner bistro when we lived in Paris ages ago :)

Wonderful place to get some French comfort food! Great menu that offers a wide selection of sandwiches, salads, and vegetarian options. Bright and colorful interior design that adds to the ambience. Fast and very friendly service. Very limited parking available on the street, so plan for a 5 minute walk from the nearby parking lot.Parking: Free street parking, but usually about a 5 minute walk is required.

Tasty French tidbits and prompt service. Try their quiche, something which is often disappointing in casual restaurants. They achieve a nice balance; moist and custard-like texture without being gooey or dry. Sandwiches are generous without being excessive. Outdoor seating available. Counter order and pay, then table service or take away.July 2022 update; Expanded menu and waiter table service. Wine available by the carafe, something more US restaurants should offer. Fish stew took me back to Europe.Sept. 2023 update: New menu items including a Truffle Burger.

The service can make or break a dining experience, and the service was great. The truffle burger was really good, but the truffle sauce was strange so I got the black pepper sauce instead, and that was good. The roasted vegetables were tough and dry. The appetizers (cheese plate and olives) and the crème brûlée were excellent.

A few good items like the shrimp and trout have been taken off the menu. Salmon bowl was mediocre. Also kids portions are almost as pricey as the regular menu and the portion is too large for kids.

We are very pleased with our experience at Cuisinett this past Saturday. Best of all, the food was excellent and the service was equally good. The wine list and other drinks were great. The atmosphere and prices are great as we;;. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Cuisinett Bistro and Market is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance transported us to the heart of Paris. The soft jazz music, dimmed lights, and charming décor set the perfect mood. The service was impeccable; our waiter, Pierre, was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely passionate about French cuisine. Each dish that arrived at our table was a masterpiece. The Coq au Vin was tender and flavorful, and the Ratatouille tasted like it was straight from a French grandmother's kitchen. We were treated like royalty, and the attention to detail in every aspect of our dining experience was astounding. A night at Cuisinett Bistro and Market is not just a meal; it's a journey to France!

The staff are excecptionally friendly and welcoming. We love the menu (have been there at least three times). Excellent quiche and fries, several of us had the salmon french bowl (rice, veggies). Special dessert was a chocolate chip scone with carmel sauce - none left after we attacked it. Great neighborhood restaurant - lots of competition on that block. Parking on the street or in the lot (not close by).

Low key restaurant with yummy dishes. It's a perfect place to relax and catch up with family and friends. The service is always warm and welcoming. The portion is not huge, just right amount. I tried the French scone yesterday. It was freshly made and delicious; however, it is pricy to get only one scone for 12 dollars.

Reservations should be made on weekends because they are very busy. The food was delicious and the staff was very helpful. There is a good wine selection available and you can get it by the glass or bottle. Some wines were bottle only. Seating is both indoor and outdoor. In cooler weather they have outdoor heaters.

Quiches and Beef Bourguignon are always superb. The special brie and figs was outstanding and the burger with truffles was loved (along with their perfect fries). We had all of the desserts to share and the French Scone was the best, with everything else a wonderful second place each. Wine list is short but excellent and fairly priced. The four of us could not have been happier with the lunch and the service.

Very good experience for my first time in a French restaurant. Great food and friendly staff. A little market area to shop in is a nice added touch.
