Gretchen's Bistro Reviews
Found this place as recommended by our AirBnB host and we loved it. Just here for the weekend but when we come back, Gretchen’s is our date night spot for sure. Atmosphere was excellent, the food was beyond tasty and affordable and Brian, our server, was beyond helpful, pleasant and professional. Great young man!

We had a fantastic time for my grandma's birthday! Our server Rick was fantastic and really elevated our experience. The food was delicious and the decor was absolutely gorgeous. Our only complaint was that it was a bit cold, but to each their own!
A hidden gem in a small town! Kalie mixes a mean cocktail and will make you feel right at home with big smile. It's pricey but if you are a foodie don't miss out on the porterhouse, you would need to drive many hours to get a similar quality melts-in-your-mouth steak. Aside from Ruth Chris I can't remember the last time I had a steak that good. Great vibes and atmosphere, sometimes even have live piano music. Don't miss it!
