Dinner was amazing! Guitar soloist entertained the lovely bistro. The pistachio encrusted halibut was delicious. I had them substitute rice for mixed vegetables. The portion was generous! We also had the strip with green beans and whipped potatoes. Best meal we have had in Shelby in sometime. The atmosphere was busting but not overcrowded. Will go back more often!

A nice treat for a special occasion. It's the best fine dining in town. We were invited by some friends and enjoyed our dinner very much. The atmosphere is very nice and we enjoyed the live music too. We ordered the pecan crusted trout which was great. I enjoyed the goat cheese salad. There's great service and friendly help. They have full bar and wine menu too. Our friends say it's the best place for steak too. We hopefully will be able to visit again.

Our service was perfect! The atmosphere is nice with an unassuming air and as our dinner arrived a fellow showed up with his guitar and started playing music. The volume was ideal for conversation and it really was a nice touch. Dinner was good. The sauce that came with my pork was delicious and my green beans were fabulous! Jackie's steak was cooked perfectly but she wasn't impressed by the Demi glaze. We had dumplings for our appetizer and they were tasty. Nothing about dinner blew me away but everything was solid and I would eat here again.

We set up a reservation to celebrate our birthdays ( my husband and I are a day apart). We requested a table by the window. There are two big windows in the front. We were seated at a side table technically by a window. My husband was literally next to a wall and his seat went into a main walkway. There was music playing way too loud. When we were seated the hostess said here. I said I guess this has to do. She shrugged. The waitress tried very hard and the food was okay. The seating was terrible and the table was way too small. The only reason I am giving any stars is because of the hardworking waitress. They have a long way to go for us to come back. We used to love coming here and it was our special place before this last changeover. My husband just told me he TOLD them it was a special occasion and there was nothing said or done to make it special. Notice the response below as an example of how management handles difficult situations. When my husband requested the table by the window, if he had been told they were booked, we could have changed our time or day to help everyone. Also, I removed my statement of the 20% because I have no proof. We didn't take a picture or our check, but my husband swears it was there and was very surprised. A simple "happy birthday" or" thank you for joining us on a special occasion" would have sufficed. Response: Business owner information Bistro 2. Business Owner Feb 5, 2024 First, There is NO STATEMENT of not leaving a gratuity, you will be charged 20% automatically!!! A window table was reserved for you for a party of 2, with note of birthday, no special requests other than window table, There were other larger parties with window reservations before yours, which filled up window section, but we kept your table for 2 guests. Tables are seated according to number of guests, so you had a 2 seat table. We always have guitarist on the weekends playing background music, which our guests enjoy and ask for him to be there. There has been NO "change over", just a remodel, redecoration, upfitting and rebranding of name. All else is still the same. That was 2 1/2 years ago. Not sure what you wanted to make it "special" as you did not speak with wait staff or manager on duty to address. Read less

He had the rib-eye special with mashed potatoes and asparagus and said it was excellent. My pecan-encrusted NC trout in buttery sage sauce was a huge crispy delicious filet atop sautéed spinach and sweet potato chunks. The sweet potatoes were flavorful but a little firm and not very exciting. We shared the cha cha shrimp which was served in a Chipotle cream sauce on a thin edible shell with lettuces. His cab was good; my red wine blend was better, smooth and deep. We finished with the chocolate mousse Gamache. Altogether a superb meal with very good service. Oh, and the bread was thick and warm with a Balsamic olive oil.

Great food, service, and a decent wine list that isn't just glorified grocery store stuff. Was our first time there, so my wife and I both had fillets, and they were fine. Recommend the fried oyster salad. We'll be back as soon as we can find a sitter...Parking: If you can't find on-street parking, there is an alley adjacent to the building with a number of spaces.

Absolutely incredible. Our group had a mix of various things off the menu. Shrimp cocktail, potstickers, salmon cakes, trout w/ sweet potato hash, sea bass, and the ribeye. Everything was delicious and the service was great. We did not have any cocktails, but they looked great from the other people ordering them.
My family and I had wonderful experience last night. It was excellent! Keep up the good work! ????

Ok, I hate to do this, but we arrived with a reservation at 5:45(early), didn't get our food until 7:15.( hour and a half) We watched at least 5 groups arrive after we did, get served before us? They were obviously short handed. ? The good news is that the food was very good and everyone was very nice. They gave us two desserts. I hope that was just a bad night. I have never waited that long for a meal?
Our dinner was absolutely outstanding!! What a fantastic hidden gem!!! Delicious, and the wait staff was excellent, plus beautiful ambiance!! Loved it!

Very rude service! Extremely slow to present entree I really enjoy the food in this restaurant, however waiting over an hour for my meal was uncomfortable. Worse than that was the attitude of the waitress. I thought I might come again at the time they opened and would receive better service. I always thank the wait staff before leaving, and with no response I thanked her again, I know she heard me she was right next to me! In spite of her rudeness I still left her a respectful Tip. But I won’t be returning.

We had the Cha Cha Shrimp for an appetizer which was delicious. The "shell" was awful. This would have been better served on a bed of lettuce. My husband had the Shrimp & Chorizo Pasta which was really delicious. I had salmon with sautéed sweet potatoes & spinach. The sweet potatoes were the star of this dish for me. The dessert with the homemade caramel sauce was my favorite. I'd go back but only for the desserts and appetizers.
