It's an ok restaurant.
We had a lovely lunch at The Bistro in Bowling Green. I was especially pleased to see the brunch menu available, as it gave me a great option, steak and eggs, that aligned with my carnivore diet. It was a much better fit for me than the usual steak and fries, and everything was cooked well and served hot. It also came with some breakfast potatoes and onions, that my husband loved.
My husband ordered the breaded chicken sandwich, which he said was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. The portion of fries that came with it was huge, definitely generous for a brunch plate and great for sharing.
The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and service was friendly without being rushed. Overall, it was a great spot for a weekend meal with quality food and a menu that works for a variety of dietary preferences. We’d absolutely return and recommend it to others.
Catering 10/10
We had The Bistro cater our wedding- wow, the food was the star of our night. We got so many compliments and our friends are even trying to recreate the bacon-wrapped dates at home (which was one of our cocktail hour appetizers). Chelsea was so helpful with helping us design our menu, offering suggestions, and even ensuring our gluten free guests did not have cross contamination. I am beyond pleased with the level of professionalism and care they put into our special day. Thank you so much, - Tucker and Mariah Greer
Food overall was underwhelming for the price point.
I tried the chicken and waffles with Nashville hot chicken. It was awful. The chicken breast was on the smaller side, breaded not fried and it tasted like it was doused in Tabasco sauce. The waffle wasn't much better, undercooked and rubbery.
I also tried my wife's smoked salmon scramble and the quality was underwhelming as well.
Soooooo good. Servers are all amazing and kind, super welcoming and the food is absolutely delicious!! The chefs choice salmon has always been amazing and I love coming here. They have the best servers and service ever. 10/10 amazing and I could give this place a billion compliments. They truly are phenomenal.
Excellent in every way, thank you! Our waitress, Shelie, was great!!
Excellent place for special occasions! Very good chicken Parm, voodoo pasta, and shrimp and grits.
We have eaten here a few times and the food has always been great with a positive experience, until tonight. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and it had zero flavor - no salt, no sugar, no spice whatsoever. I'm positive the chef didn't taste this at all because if they did, they would've recognized right away that the chicken, the pasta and the sauce all tasted like straight water... I had my husband taste it also and he thought the same thing. We didn't complain because I didnt want to put anyone on he spot. I'm just coming here to say please do not order the chicken Parmesan. You will be disappointed for sure. Probably should be removed from the menu honestly. I was bummed. Every other dish I've had has been great though.
Also, I wish a few items from the lunch menu were available in the evenings.
One of the best meals since moving to this area! Will be coming back! I had salmon and my husband had the Voodoo penne. Also had deserts the best!! Server Annie was fantastic!
Excellent restaurant for a college town. Annie our server was fantastic. Old Fashioneds were good, shrimp ? and grits were great (huge portion) and Scampi was very good.

The food here didn't look like much, but everything tasted amazing. Cory, our server, was well-informed and gave my girlfriend and I good information about what to expect from the menu. I had the Hot Nashville Chicken and Waffles, which also came with cubed potatoes. The waffles came with a garlic maple syrup that was amazing, and the chicken was also very satisfying. My girlfriend's meal came with more eggs than she could eat, so I tried them as well and they were also great.
