I was here for a private event and everything was phenomenal. The food is excellent and the wait staff was extremely attentive. I am looking forward to my next visit.

I can't begin to explain how delicious everything was! For starters, I don't ever eat crab cakes but I tried them and they were DELISH! Next, I had the rolls. They were so good I didn't want to share! LOL! I had the salad with the balsamic vinegarette and it was so fresh and delish! For the main course, I had the Chicken Alfredo and it was FIRE!!!!! LOVED IT! Finally, I had the warm brownie dessert with Gelato and OMG it was soooo good!!! I honestly loved everything about this place from meeting Yvette (Owner and Executive Chef) to the ambiance and the food! I would give it 10 stars if I could! Can't wait to go back and take all of my friends!

It's about time that I can say that I actually enjoyed my dining experience at a black owned restaurant. Thank you to Chef Yvette and your staff for what was a fun and delicious dining out experience with my family. My wife and I both enjoyed our meals as well as appreciate the feel good customer service. This will surely be one of my new go to restaurants when me or the Mrs don't feel like cooking lol. Those drinks were lit too. five stars all around the board guys

This has to be one of the worst experiences I have had in a long time. It’s unfortunate because we had read such great things and were looking forward to trying a new restaurant in the neighborhood. When we arrived the waitress told us the list of what wasn’t available which amounted to about 1/3 of the menu. Service was pretty slow. The food we did order was not hot and on average, not good.
When we spoke to the manager her explanation is that the same amount of food is prepped everyday. However we made a 7pm reservation for 10 people. Therefore I would think that there would be food available to order from the entire menu at 7pm.
I felt that the owner, who came out next, was a little more apologetic but overall I didn’t feel a lot of empathy from her or the manager.
Unfortunately we will not be back.

Phone service was great! The food portion was small in comparison to the price. I ordered the New Orleans pasta. It was supposed to come with a salad but unfortunately I didn’t receive one so I cannot review it. This dish was not worth $30. The shrimp was either precooked or overcooked. They were tiny and rubbery. The dish lacked seasoning. Very underwhelming not at all what I expected from the impression on the website. I wish I would’ve just saved my money

The food is awesome! The presentation is excellent! Just like the website pictures! The staff are friendly and professional! I can see how they earned the culinary awards and why the popular foodies recommend this bistro! When you visit flossmoor, visit the bistro on sterling. You won't be disappointed!

This is a lovely place in a great spot. The staff was welcoming, and the space was clean and well presented. But, the service was very slow and sometimes convoluted. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was nothing that I expected. I did not care for the cajun sauce. the shrimp were very small and overcooked. I returned my entrée and purchased the vegetable melt which was delicious. I will definitely come back but maybe later on in the day as we were there first thing in the morning with the hope the service will be better.

My mother and I had a wonderful experience dining here. I had the lobster ravioli and my mom had chicken flat bread pizza. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. Good food, wine and great customer service will definitely be back!!!

I came here because I found out it was under new ownership and is now black own. I'm a little tired of the Foodies recommending these businesses and the food looks great, then you go there and it's a whole different experience. This is my second time going through this. We came here around 1:30. I wish I had taken a pic of the shrimp and grits to compare it to the pic on there website, It was totally different. The shrimp and grits I was served look like a bowl of soup. Tiny cooked shrimp, hardly any spinach hardly any tomatoes and the Cajun cream sauce was not good at all, and that grits cake didn't pull the dish together at all. I make shrimp and grits at home, and mine was much better and I'm just a home cook. My friend had the grill chicken sandwich and the bread was burnt. I wanted to try something different, and that's exactly what I got. $18 for a bowl of soup. Really. The sever brought out bread and butter, but didn't notice that we had no plates to use to eat with. I will say that the drinks were good. I Don't know if I would go back and I live in the area.
