I’ve been going to this nice little café for a while and I can tell every time I am here it’s always consistently good healthy food and the service is pretty fast. I am a super fan of the healthy juices , my favorite is morning glow with ginger pineapple is delicious

Bistro 821 exceeded my expectations. The service and atmosphere from entering until I left was excellent. Angela and the rest of the team great. My appetizer of crab dip followed by an entree of sea bass and a lobster tail was really good. I definitely would recommend this restaurant.

All the food was delicious, they are very accommodating of special requests and food allergies. I forgot our waitress' name, but she was top notch and went above and beyond. (She was from Boston) thank you for everything

Did a search and read some reviews since I was visiting from out of state and rolls the dice and wow am I happy I did. The owner was kind and engaging as was the staff. He introduced me to a new tequila and it was excellent. The appetizers consisted of a delicious Crab dip, some of the best shrimp I've ever had and calamari We had 2 wagyu tomahawk steaks cooked to perfection a Filet and lobster tail a Filet of sole and a 50/50 Filet of sole and red snapper. It was all incredible. I was the only one that had dessert and it was a delicious creme brulee. I've been in the for many decades and this place is special. I can't see how anyone could not be happy eating here. Thank you to the entire staff for an amazing experience!

The very unfriendly manager looks at the Latino customers very ugly and didn't want to give us a table inside until a very friendly Latino employee told us he had a table. The manager is dismissive and in a bad mood. Breakfast delicious but extremely expensive. For two people we paid $78.00, we ordered two omelets and two coffees plus a croissant. I'm not coming back. I'm sorry for the kind waiters. The tip was already included. We clients end up paying salaries plus a high tip while the owner pays poorly and sells everything very expensive.

Second visit. First was 4 yrs ago just before Covid-19. We finally returned because the house salad was so impressive. Especially the way the chicken was prepared sous vide. The portion was huge. I was so glad to see that it survived. But, alas in true post covid form my husband ordered it, the portion was smaller and the price went up considerably. That is why only 4 stars. It still tasted great. This time I ordered the mahi mahi taco's. I would have paid a litte extra for more fish in it. The taco shell was only half full. Also, I was served just balsamic vinigar instead of vinigrette. But all in all still a great place to eat at without all the hoity-toity Naplestude.

Except for the French toasts which resulted in being just a bread toast everything was ?. No complaints, actually looking forward to visiting again. I don’t recommend the French Toasts though ?
Dietary restrictions: They have a pretty good menu for those that prefer to eat vegan
we have been to Bistro 821 many times but came this time to enjoy Sizzle Week. the menu offered good options and the price was great. we had the salmon and the lemon sole. to start the watermelon salad and tuna. Scott was our server and he was on top of everything. we will go back soon but you can't beat the Sizzle Week offer.

We've been going to Bistro 821 for over 25 years. It is absolutely the only reliable restaurant on 5th Avenue that completely pleases us every single time we go. If you've never been, definitely put it on your list.

Have dined at the Bistro many times over the last decade. The food was not up to the usual very high standards that the Bistro has delivered over the years. I had the Black Grouper and my wife has the Snapper. The grouper was tough and was served on what tasted like potato salad out of Publix. My wife's snapper was thin crispy and barely eatable. The bread and desert were great, but the entrees left much to be desired.

For the 1st time ever my dinner was sub par, but our waiter noticed that and took it off of our bill. I'd still go back. There were 6 in our party and everyone else really enjoyed their meals.
