First time there I ordered the fillet $52 steak. First time they brought it. It was overcooked. I’m ordered it medium evidently the cooked didn’t know what medium was so they re-cooked it and brought me back a rare by then I was tired of arguing with them, so I just took my steak and home and put it in the microwave. Don’t think I’ll ever go back.

It was quite delightful. Everything was as expected. Thank you for great service, food and atmosphere. It is very clean and inviting. The only drawback I personally had was, as I am handicapped, it was difficult finding parking. But then again, that is how it is everywhere in that area of Owensboro, KY. Not the bistro's fault!

Literally , my favorite place to take out of town friends for dinner. Food and service are always impeccable, and have never been rushed or made to feel inconvenient.. I suggest making a reservation, even at lunch. Leave room for dessert.

Cute little place. Our first time going there, but we've heard about it for a long time. The chef.... No idea what Owensboro did to deserve food that good, but I'm glad he's here. Glad we got reservations because it was packed! Absolutely perfect date night place. We will be back.

Had the scallops appetizer (it comes with two scallops for $22) and it was very salty. It seemed progressively saltier with each bite, like drinking ocean water. I took a tiny bite of the second one to see if it was the same way. Couldn’t even eat it. Kitchen said they couldn’t take it off the bill because I ate more than half. Ok. Seems like they must soak them in salt for days for the centers to taste like that. Too bad. Pasta carbonara was meh. White sangria was delicious. The free bread appetizer was very good. Would probably try somewhere new rather than eat here again.

Literally the best food I've had the pleasure of eating. Large portions will leave you stuffed, but the food itself will have you dreaming about it until your next visit here. The steak was to die for!

Fabulous food. Absolutely the best filet mignon, creme brulee, homemade bread, and crab cakes. Staff was fabulous. Note: we made a reservation and I strongly suggest doing that.

Went there for Brunch. We had the bottomless Bloody Marys and were charged $20 each for that. Not cool, as there was no price on the menu for this.

This place is amazing! Stopped in on a Monday night for dinner on a work trip. Got the spinach salad, rib eye steak with Greek style marinade then Ek-mek for dessert. Everything was delicious. Service was great. Thank you!
