We visited Bistronomic for lunch today and left with a genuinely positive impression — especially when it comes to hospitality.

Darko, our server, was exceptional. He struck that perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, and he connected effortlessly with our two-year-old son. Dining out with a toddler can sometimes feel stressful, but Darko’s attentiveness and natural kindness helped keep our little one calm and engaged throughout the meal. That level of service does not go unnoticed.

The cuisine was well-executed and thoughtfully presented. That said, we came in expecting a more traditional French lunch experience and later realized the menu leans toward a refined brunch concept. That was more our oversight than anything else. The dishes reflect creativity and modern interpretation rather than strictly classic French fare.

Overall, Bistronomic delivers on service and atmosphere, and the menu offers a fresh, imaginative take on French-inspired cuisine. For attentive hospitality and a creative midday dining experience, we would certainly recommend it.

We went for restaurant week! The food and service and impeccable. We got there a little early, and had to wait for our reservation time. We easily spent time in the bar. The drinks were also great. I Highly recommend the beef and the desserts.

I absolutely love this place. I’ve come many times and right off the bat you know it’s a proper French restaurant when you have French people working there. The food is outstanding, great value, bottomless mimosas and sangria for like $25 on the weekends. Staff is so nice and friendly. Very cute French bistro style ambiance. Taking friends for their birthday this weekend.

French cuisine during restaurant week, woth the wine pairing and dessert. It was fantastic, didn't leave hungry as the plates are smaller but very rush, and the dessert was outstanding!

Had a great brunch at Bistronomic for restaurant week and unfortunately what happened at the end of the meal is not sitting right with me so I’m writing this review.

Please review the receipt attached to this review, you’ll notice that the restaurant surcharge says 3% with zero charge, great we paid and assumed there was no extra charge. But then if you look at the items you’ll see an item called surcharge for $9.75 that we did not see before paying. Not only did they add this surcharge as an item onto the bill but that means we paid both tax and tip for the surcharge. When I brought this up to manager she immediately apologized and said it was their POS and then went in her purse and gave me $10 in cash which was nice of her. But it’s still not sitting right with me, that doesn’t cover the extra tax and tip we were charged, and the whole scenario seems so scammy and dishonest and sneaky it says surcharge 3% but then lists $0. How many other people paid without realizing this?

Spectacular food! Great selection of French wines. Well trained wait staff. We were served efficiently despite the main dining room being taken over by a large baby shower. Because of that, our table was in the back in a shotgun dining area which was very loud due to no noise dampening materials. But that really didn't matter in light of the fabulous food.

Went for restaurant week. Everything was top notch, from the drinks to the food to the staff. It was a busy night and the tables are very close together, so you could hear the entire conversation from the neighboring tables. That is my only critique. Other that that it was a great experience! I would definitely go back!

Bistronomic never disappoints. From their extensive menu we shared the haricot vert salad - delicious and more than enough for two. The veal medallions and the salmon were terrific. Excellent citrus tart. A reliable neighborhood gem.

We were seated promptly and greeted by our waiter. The waiter was very helpful in answering our questions on the menu as we ordered. The 3-course restaurant week menu was one choice, and the fish of the day was the second choice. The avocado and tuna tartar first course was delightful. the main courses the beef and the salmon were outstanding and presented beautifully. The dessert course was also a hit. Service could not have been better, the waiter was very attentive, but not obtrusive, even as he got busier during the course of the evening. We were not rushed to pay our bill and leave so that the table could be turned.

Beautiful restaurant and delicious food. Exceptional service by all staff member. We started with a small cheese plate which was excellent. The beet salad and salmon over green lentils was beautifully presented and equally delicious. We felt very welcome and were well taken care of.

The hostess and the waitress were very friendly and accommodating. The food was phenomenal. Every dish was great, but the one that stuck out was the mussels, which were divine!

Everything tastes amazing! The dishes reminds me my trip to Paris. The restaurant week menu was well designed and full of great choices. There mocktails are definitely worth trying.
