Had a wonderful time dining with my daughter. Food and service were good, but I was very disappointed with the fact that I was charged a credit card processing fee. I don’t understand and completely disagree with this action. Moreover, I didn’t receive this information ahead of time from the waitress. It’s a bad business to impose such charge to its customers.

Went here for the first time with a party of 14 for a company dinner. Appetizers were good garlic knots being the best of the pick we also had fried raviolis which were good and the bruschetta where a little plain not really anything special. So my wife and I ordered the chicken Parmesan and the chicken Alfredo. The parmesan was really good but the Alfredo was the most bland Alfredo I ever had. We tried to doctor it up a bit with salt pepper and a boatload of powdered Parmesan to no avail. We had to respectfully turn the dish back to the kitchen and get a meat pizza instead which was delicious. One thing that was super weird is that an Italian bistro would not have fresh Parmesan I mean even olive garden has fresh Parmesan 🤦 service was great drinks always full and super friendly when we had an issue with our food. Restaurant is very nice and inviting. Nicole is a rockstar and did excellent job. Food needs some tweaking though but overall it was a nice experience. Ohh if you are having a party and bring your own cake there is a $15 cake fee for bringing in your own. Just a heads up

Food top tier as was the service. Ambiance was casual, friendly and respectful to all patrons.
For Italian cuisine, you'll find none better.

Probably the best shrimp Alfredo I ever had!

I had been excited for my reservation at Ali’s Bistro, and I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and our wonderful server, Laura. While the bread and olive oil were delicious, I was a bit let down by the espresso martinis—the first was mostly foam, and the second tasted more like coffee than a balanced cocktail. I also hadn’t expected the veal Parmesan to be a veal patty. I had hoped for a higher level of quality overall and was disappointed the experience didn’t quite meet my expectations.

The food and drinks were good but Nicole was rather unpleasant and trying to rush us out. I don't know if I will be returning. Sad.

Great location just before crossing the Ft Walton Island bridge. Very good menu with a good variety to select from. Service was great and food was delivered in a reasonable amount of time.

Experiential!!!, Thank you Bolton and family for a memorable dinner. Loved the holiday theme, Ali’s homemade garlic/olive oil dip and the service was more than appreciated. I would say your restaurant is a must go destination. Thank you!

The food was just ok. I ordered chicken Alfredo which had zero flavoring/seasoning. 3 stars for a well made Old Fashion.

My party and I were a little surprised by the lack of GF dishes. Food was really good and the server/chef worked with us. I would suggest having more GF dishes.
