Beautiful dinner at Half Bottle Bistro. The shrimp cocktail was refreshing. Homemade dough on the Pinsa delicious. Bottles of wine nicely priced. 5 stars! We will be back! (Thanks for dessert HBB. We are hooked!)
Still love this place!! Service is always amazing and the food is top notch!
Amazing staff, delicious food (every time), perfect atmosphere. Such a gem of a place! This is easily my favorite restaurant in Bloomington.

The menu is intentionally simple and focused, highlighting the restaurant’s strength in doing a few things very well. It offers a variety of small plates and bar options, making it an excellent spot for sharing appetizers and wine. The food, including dishes like grilled cheese, is praised for being insanely good, with some guests noting the desire for lighter options to complement the menu. The atmosphere is lively and bright, with a décor that feels bright and coastal, providing a refreshing change from busier areas. The dining experience is enhanced by helpful and friendly staff, though some mention that service can be slow, especially during busy times, which can affect the overall experience.
Half Bottle Bistro is praised as a top lunch destination, offering just the right amount of elegance without being too upscale or casual. It’s a great place to meet friends or take a boss for lunch, especially since it’s located outside the main strip of town, making it feel like a special destination. The dining area features a patio and covered exterior dining, perfect for enjoying good weather. Guests appreciate the modern and bright setting, and many find it a delightful place to support a small local business while enjoying a bright, lively environment. Some suggest that adding dimmer lighting in the evening would improve the ambiance, creating a cozier atmosphere for dinner. Overall, it’s a special spot for lunch, dinner, or a night out, offering a delightful experience in a unique, welcoming setting.
