I have been here 4 times in the last few months, the food is great and tastes very fresh. the wait staff are always attentive and very friendly. The owner is extremely condescending to guests and staff. Don’t expect to be seated on a walk in basis, we were turned away our first time in. You must make reservations. I would have rated it higher, however, I feel the owners/managers disposition really disappoints me every visit.

Amazing steak, warm ambiance.

We waited 15 minutes to get a menu and water. My girlfriend ordered a chicken diinner and to say the serving was skimpy it was a compliment. It had no taste and limited seasoning. I had a filet of Sea Bass that was at the most 4 tp 5 ounces. The side of asparagus was 3 pieces. Service was decent. The paetner- manager was demeaning and stated sternly we ALWAYS serve 9 ounces on any seafood dish. Not even close. Seen many comments about her and the concensous was the same attitude. Do not mind at all paying $37.00 for a fish entree, however this consited of 4 bites. Never again. Btw 2 drinks was $ 39.00. Drinks good but higher than Chicago Cut, Gibson"s and many more.

There were six of us for dinner. One of the six enjoyed their meal. The waitress was delightful and we did not complain to her as it was not her fault. Needless to say, we will not return and just a heads up for others.

Truly nothing special, over cooked salty pasta, heavy sauce, below average deserts.Will not come again.

We went to this spot for my mom's birthday. 6 of us all ordered the priciest item on the menu, not to mention soup, salad, and dessert on top. My dish came with considerably less couscous than everyone else's, to the point that my family commented on it. When I asked them if they could bring more, the waitress told me the owner had said that we need to order extra couscous for 3$. After dinner, I wanted to make sure the owner actually understood my concern, so i talked to her directly. I was shocked to see how cheap the owner was as she was actually arguing with me over some couscous after I just spent 400$. She didn't accept it at all, and unfortunately for the girl who was serving us, I had to reflect my dissatisfaction in how much I tipped. I guess customer service doesn't mean much to the owner. I regret all the other times I've gone to this place.

Amazing food. Great service. And not a stuffy environment at all. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was perfect for a special occasion. I highly recommend it!
I have been going to Next Door Bistro for many years. I am their loyal customer but last night when I went for my birthday dinner. I ordered my usual dish which is Capellini with Roasted Eggplant, Pepper, and Pine Nut with Creamy Tomato Sauce Dinner Pasta, for $20.95. I understand the inflation cost and I don’t care about the price. But the pasta was served in front of my face. It was a total disappointment. The portion was like a side dish. I did not say anything. I was too tired to argue about this but I know I will never go back again. I would pay more for this dish if the portion can be more. But the portion of this pasta says a lot about how this restaurant runs its business. I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone again.

Dined in on Sat. 12/28 before visiting the Botanic Garden light show. I had the Linguine with Shrimp and my friend had the Cheese Ravioli and we were both pleased. Also, don't skip the garlic bread!

Really good Italian food, exactly what I had been looking for. Crowded dining room, which still makes me a little nervous with COVID, but great experience overall. Looks like they have a strong take out game as well.

Ate outside in their tent. Great service. Very accommodating. They close between lunch and dinner. Check hours
Vegetarian options: Great salads and vegetarian pasta dishes.
