Reception upon entering was not inviting by staff; perhaps having a bad day but still hospitality industry experiences are heavily dependent on the event experience as a whole not just food.

Perfect night out. Fabulous food made to order by a European chef, delivered by hospitable and professional staff. The setting is like a small inviting typical bistro one would find in most European cities or perhaps New York. The kind of place one feels comfortable in, is super clean and quiet with lovely background music. Le Bistro is a great spot and also offers a well rounded wine list.

We had a lovely dinner at this neighborhood gem with its romantic ambience as Elin greeted us with her warm hospitality. Andy's French inspired cuisine is classic, yet inventive, as we dined on the savory spiced cauliflower steak with a balsamic glaze and his signature beef Wellington, perfectly cooked—a delightful treat! The wine list has many options, highlighted by many Bordeauxs. Elin recommended a velvety one from St. Emiion which highlighted our meal and the rich chocolate torte with berries for dessert. We can't wait to come back for their Bordeaux dinner! This place is really special!
Online does not represent the food or environment of the restaurant. Was a typical strip mall restaurant and very dated decor. Service was not friendly for being only customer in the place.

As a visitor, I would not know for sure, but Le Bistro seems like a hidden gem. It was new to our guest, a local who was a gourmet cook, is a gourmand, and even belongs to a dining-out club. Le Bistro is now on their list! The ambience of this small restaurant is charming, from the tables and lighting to the swags of lavender between each painting on the walls. A little France with no pretention. The food choices satisfied a variety of palates and the dishes were presented and cooked to perfection. The lamb was succulent and tender with a delightful sauce, for example. The server was attentive, responsive, and easygoing when unfamiliar with some of our questions. “I'll ask the chef!” Chef Andy Trousdale came to thank us for visiting and treated us to a glass of limoncello while sharing restaurant biz adventures. All in all a wonderful evening the night before Bastille Day. 10th Heaven!
Let me first start with the positive, the food was excellent. There were three of us. We shared the mushroom risotto, the bread plate, and the meat and be appetizers. For entrées, we had the steak Diane, the duck confit, and the filet mignon and shrimp pairing combination. Each dish was flavorful, creative, and overall very delicious. Regarding the negatives, the restaurant did not have a very inviting, warm or welcoming atmosphere. The decor is rather drab and does not feel like it is aligned with the food. Our server was wonderful, and eager to please. The chef/owner, and we can only assume that is his title, but we are not positive, seemed rather disgruntled and unwelcoming.

Thought I'd give this place a try as I'd heard positive feedback about it. After waiting 50 minutes I was finally seated. Ordered the beef tenderloin filet as it sounded delicious! When it finally arrived I was disappointed to find a long dark hair on my plate. I complained to the waiter, he insisted that another would be made. When the second dish turned up, I was absolutely repulsed to find a dead mouse on my plate. At this point I was very upset, demanded to speak to the manger. it was at this time I spoke to the owner (Andy). He said it was common practice to find mice and hairs in your dishes in Florida and struggled to see what the issue was. He then went out back, only to return with a bowl of potatoes which he proceeded to throw at me. He even chased me back to my car and tried to let my tyres down. Will not be returning again.

We had a wonderful evening dining on our favorite beef Wellington well chef prepared, prior to having duck Rilette appetizer (succulent). We highly recommend to try 2021 Pinot Noir. ( Wild Fighter) Russian River Valley. The ambience was quiet over two hours of dining. The evening ended up having espresso & crème brûlée with a perfect creamy consistency. Definitely a repeat invite for us to share a wonderful meal with European friends. Thank you for having had us. (Very pleased).
Mussels were incredible although they could have used a little more garlic. The morel mushroom sauce was amazing. Our French burgundy bottle was a fair price and matched our meal well. Super friendly owners.
Very unimposing location in strip center. I selected based on positive reviews in Open Table as place to meetup with some friends who flew in from Atlanta. Don't let looks fool you this place has excellent food and service.

Everything everyone had was excellent. My friends had a bunch of appetizers and everything was delicious. I had some of the specials for the evening - smoked salmon with all the accoutrements, and a red snapper dish that was served Mediterranean style. They both were fabulous. Profiteroles for dessert! Love Le Bistro.
This was a great first date experience with timely and delicious food, a good wine selection, small and pleasant ambiance. Don't let the strip mall location fool you, this place is amazing.

We had a 6:30 reservation and walked in to have the place to ourselves which was surprising. When we left at 8:45 there were only 2 other tables occupied. The service was great as was the food. I had the tile fish and it was outstanding. We will definitely go back again.

Had the beef wellington for two. Food was good. Would go back and try other menu items. Wait staff was great. Parking was horrible (I would hesitate returning due to the parking). The restaurant tries to keep a few parking spots for its guest, but not enough. I would recommend this restaurant to people in the area. It was a 40-minute drive for us.
