The Bistro is a nice restaurant that offers a variety of dishes, including Italian cuisine. The service can be slow when the restaurant is not busy, and the appetizer may arrive at the same time as the main meal. However, the staff is known for their kindness and exceptional service.
A highlight of the lunch menu is the family-sized French fries and the complimentary flatbread drizzled with spicy olive oil. The shrimp tacos are also available and were described as "okay."
One of the standout features of The Bistro is the service. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate guests, such as providing an armless chair and bringing extra helpings of bread. They have also been known to provide excellent service in celebratory situations, including bringing a bottle of tonic water to clean a spilled drink and providing a slice of chocolate cake for a birthday celebration.
The outdoor seating is also a highlight, offering a beautiful view while enjoying a meal. The Bistro is a great place for a relaxing and enjoyable meal, and the staff's warm and cheerful presence makes guests feel at home. The server, Dulce, in particular, is known for her excellent service and making guests feel welcome.
