Bartender (new guy) was very friendly and made great cocktails. Burger was so/so. Tomato soup was delicious.

This place has really gone downhill. Should have known by how empty the restaurant was that evening. My daughter had her birthday dinner here the other night. I ordered the halibut. The waiter could not tell me the price of the salad on special that night even after asking twice. My fish was so dry I could not eat it as well as being under seasoned which was communicated when the waiter asked how our food was. No manager was sent. No solution was offered. We used to dine here often but after this I will never eat here again.

Bistro 234 never disappoints! The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the vibe is super chill but still classy. Perfect spot for date night or catching up with friends. I’ve had everything from their pasta to the steak, and it’s all been amazing.

The service is friendly and relaxed—they make you feel right at home. Plus, their desserts are on point! If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out.

One of my favorite spots in Turlock, hands down.

Need to update their online pricing and paper menus. Everything we ordered cost $2-3 more per item than what they have listed.

From the moment we arrived, the service was superb. Our waiter was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding, particularly the duck breast, which was cooked to perfection. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, with beautiful French accents and a charming atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for a memorable meal. I’ll definitely be back for another exquisite experience!

My girlfriend and I made reservations earlier in the day and when we got to the restaurant they told us that their system was faulty and it booked us for outside. Being too cold outside, that wasn’t an option. The problem I have is the staff was aware of the problem and didn’t even try to reach out. We spent another hour just trying to find another available spot. Very disappointed in the staff and management.

The server did great but unfortunately the kitchen could not get the order right and did not care to fix it. We are vegetarian and first receive the wrong pasta with chicken which got sent back for the right parts with chicken (requested on the side) and finally the third time we got it right after waiting over an hour with two kids starving

Food is always delicious! Could use More smiles in there. House salad w salmon.

Mediocre expensive food. Small for the price. The chicken pot pie was a lot better than what my wife ordered. The French onion soup was embarrassingly small.

Wow, this place has really fallen down in Every possible way! Could not be more disappointed, and I will not be returning.

I called ahead to make reservations. I did not have reservations when I got there. They immediately blamed the lack of reservations on me and proceeded to put me in the worst table in the whole place despite the fact that they had plenty of tables and I definitely called and made reservations.
The food was overwhelmingly, disappointing I ordered the scallops appetizer. They were lackluster in every way. I had the rack of lamb for dinner and it was supposed to be medium rare. It was completely undercooked and chewy the flavors associated with it were disgusting and tasted prepackaged like they squirted everything out of a plastic tube in the back. The weight staff was Terrible. Possibly because I “didn’t have reservations.” Which I definitely had. My date had the cioppino which she said was all right, but I will have to take her word for it. Overall, I was disappointed in so many ways I can’t even count. My dinner ended up costing about $160 that included two drinks. That would be fine if the food was good, the service was good, if anything was good, but it was disgusting.!

The atmosphere was nice hopefully a another restaurant will move into that location someday. I love that building.

This is a nice place to sit and relax, but the waitress disappeared a lot. The food was not seasoned at all. The onion soup had no flavor at all. Beyond disappointed. Texas Roadhouse is for less and has way better flavor. The keylime pie was pretty nasty too.

New York strip steaks were tough, haven’t been back since, all they did was take the steak and slice it with an electric knife and it was still tough?
