We have dined here several times in the past with consistent results. This time our server, Robert, killed the experience. We barely saw him and he was very rushed about everything (the restaurant was about 1/4 filled and I only saw him with one other table). He couldn't tell us which cheese was what on the cheese board, he never checked back after someone else delivered our meal. We were unable to order another round of drinks. He dropped off the bill without asking us if we would like dessert, which I was looking forward to. We just decided to leave. It was a disappointing end to our vacation.

As always, The Bistro did not disappoint! Service, food quality, menu selections were all outstanding. Highly recommend dining at The Bistro when visiting Biltmore Estate!
Doris
What a lovely evening! We were able to get in on a short notice. It probably helps that it was a Monday evening in January. The service was outstanding by everyone, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was very pleasant. We had a delightful dining experience.
Tom
Appetizers and entrées were excellent. They were also very reasonably priced for the quality of food which we received. 
Madelon
Overall, we had a good experience. It was wonderful to sit down and have a relaxing meal between the special exhibit and a tour of the Biltmore House.
Deanna
The restaurant is a very nice experience, but experience is what you're paying for. The food was very over priced. You can get some of the exact same dishes at stable cafe for a fraction of the price. The server was great, the experience was nice. But food is very very expensive for what you get.
Casey
It was drafty where we sat, I only had 3 scallops in my dinner pretty scanty for the price of the meal. It was a bit noisy, but not too bad.
Susan
We had the ribeye and the butternut squash risotto. Both were excellent! Our server, Bobby, was also excellent!
Dale
Our food was prepared perfectly and was very tasty. Our server, Natalie was very attentive and friendly. It was a great dining experience.
Vanessa
Have dined here many times. The food and service are always top notch. We came this time for our anniversary and they made it special.
OpenTable worked as well as can be expected. Even remembered a food allergy from passed reservations.
JAMES
Just not like it used to be. Our server Bobby was excellent as always and was the saving grace. Drinks were excellent. Food was definitely not what you would expect from The Bistro and definitely not like it has been in the past. Dessert menu was awful and was nowhere near what it should be, nor matched what is shown online. Whatever you do, do not get the Sweet Corn Mousse. It tastes like a very softened stick of butter but not as dense. The blackberries tasted fermented. Standards are nowhere near what they have been. Sad and hopefully will not remain this way.

Leigh our server was outstanding in delivering a memorable experience on our anniversary. She went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible dinner. My wife's trout and my scallops were delicious. I actually hesitated on the scallops due to its side dish which was succotash. I didn't have fond memories of that dish when I was a kid... (lima beans) but Leigh reassured me that this was delicious. Could the side dish steal the show of the scallops? In this case it indeed did. I loved it so much I asked Leigh how they made. She actually gave me an email and the chef would send me the recipe! That my friends is service! In fact I regret booking the Dining Room at the Inn the next night and wished we had returned to the Bistro. Bravo Bistro!!

This was our 3rd trip to The Bistro and it has been wonderful each time. Ron was our server this visit and his service was remarkable. He showed full respect of not disturbing us when we were in midst of conversation. Do try the French Onion Soup. We never go there without ordering it. Also ask for bread if you'd like some. It was fresh made with herbs and was wonderful. Everything was top of the line, fresh, and perfectly prepared. There was an appetizer we tried on our second visit that wasn't very impressive but it appears to have been removed from the menu.

Server Natalie was awesome! Very relaxed dining pace. Sound level was a little too loud making conversation difficult and we were only a table of two. Maybe consider sound reducing measures
