BackDoor Bistro and Wine Bar

A great bottle of Gilpin Reserve Merlot, the Salmon Tartare was great as was the Caesar Salad followed by a dozen grilled oysters and Scallop Agnolotti. The Old Fashion was made with quality Rye, the server was patient and very helpful. And it was nice sitting outside for dinner. To us, this is the best restaurant in Vacaville. It is our go to place.

Another great dining experience at backdoor bistro. Sam was an excellent server as always! We also enjoyed the new items on their menu!

Everything was outstanding from the waitstaff to the food. We went on Thursday and it was Happy Hour all day. great deals and food is superb!

Excellent cuisine with an emphasis on quality instead of quantity of food - the salmon cakes were outstanding as well as the peach/prosciutto salad were outstanding.

My favorite restaurant in Vacaville. I love the farm to table cuisine. The servers and staff are so welcoming and provide excellent service. My favorite meal is the Chilean Sea Bass with lemon risotto, and for dessert the lemon cheesecake was delicious.

Good fresh seasonal food. A bit expensive for area and what comes to your table. Good craft cocktails from a non partake person. I was actually impressed. Need another not so rushed, non high weekend to really see the vibe/culinary experience. Enjoyed my time.

We've been wanting to try this place for a while and we were not disappointed. The food was great. We had the polenta fries, shrimp and grits, burger, and lemon cheesecake. I thought the idea of a burger was a little boring but it was recommended by a friend so my wife tried it. It was great, as were the polenta fries recommended by the same friend. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and just a little spicy which was great. The grits were very rich and creamy. We look forward to returning.

Took a girlfriend out for her birthday- cute spot but has a fairly limited menu. Lunch at 12:45 and tried to order the bruschetta. I was told they did not have it as they were making the bread. Hmmmmm, brunch on weekend, limited menu and no one came to work early enough to make bread??? Disappointing!! Sooo, ordered bri cheese plate. Very small ramekin with “4” slices of baguette toast. “4” cost around $ 15.00. Not sure if I will return... service was great though!!

First time at this location for Backdoor Bistro. The setting is very nice. Food was delish. Service was excellent
I made reservation for 2 for Saturday lunch and was pleased with table they saved for us though, they were quite busy. I told them it was my friend's birthday in the reservation and they came through with a nice complimentary dessert and candle.
The restaurant is a little pricey, but for a special occasion, it was worth it.

Brought visiting friends for dinner and to experience my new town. I had told friends this was the best resuaurant in town yet that night BackDoor Bistro was Ghost Town empty. It was a ho hum experience ...

I love Backdoor Bistro, and please know this review is not easy for me to write. I know there are off days but really want to share. We had reservations at 10 AM. We were the only ones inside, a few outside, and we didn't get our food until 10:45. Truly. The service was really slow. Additionally, the food had different quality or taste from what we had previously for brunch (we order the same thing each time). The poached eggs were very poached, almost hardened in the middle, which compromised the eggs benedict. Also, there was only a very small “poached” egg for the two short rib hash orders for the others, and was also more on the overly poached side. We still love it here but had a very different experience from what we're used to from quality to service. Thank you for taking our feedback.

Our server was excellent and food too!! We have dined there multiple times and always have great experiences! I highly recommend this spot! By the way ask for table 5 or 10😀

We sat outside, the inside was loud and hard to hear. The patio was pleasant. Our server was attentive and asked if we had any questions about the menu. We were celebrating a birthday and we were wished Happy Birthday by both the hostess and the server, which was very nice. We had the pork belly tacos, which were delicious and baked Brie, as an appetizer, also very good. After our lunch, the birthday celebrate was given a birthday dessert that was delicious. Overall a very nice experience.

Prices over rated Shrimp and grits. Shrimp were tough. The group had different dishes. It was just ok. For the price we paid ridiculous
