The Famous Bistro is a clean and pleasant restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The menu offers a variety of choices, including sandwiches, pizza, pasta, and Mediterranean-style dishes. Standout menu items include the Reuben sandwich, with grilled pumpernickel rye, thinly sliced corned beef, and tangy sauerkraut, and the Orchard Chicken. The restaurant is also known for its high-quality seafood options, such as the swordfish with spicy chili oil sauce and the salmon dijonaise. Diners can enjoy homemade desserts, like the heavenly tiramisu. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is inviting and very clean. The restaurant has great appetizers and a good wine list, making it a perfect spot for a satisfying meal. Visitors often praise the food, especially the gyros, which are said to be the best they've ever had, and the gorgonzola steak pasta. The portions are generous, with some dishes like the Polish sausage hoagie having so much meat it can be hard to stay on the bun. While parking can be limited, the overall experience—good food, friendly servers, and a nice setting—keeps guests coming back.
