We recently had my daughter's bridal shower at Bistro d'Azur. It could not have been more perfect. Not only was the food delicious and abundant, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff could not do enough for us. Anything that I asked for was taken care of immediately and nothing was a problem for this wonderful staff. Isabel was such a pleasant and easy person to work with. I wish I could do it again, but I only have one daughter! We will certainly return for a delicious and relaxing meal in the near future!

Bistro d’Azur in South Orange was the perfect place for my wife and me to host our baby shower. We truly had a spectacular time from start to finish. The decor was creative, beautiful, and thoughtfully done, making the whole space feel special and celebratory.

The service was outstanding throughout the event: attentive, friendly, and seamless, which let us actually relax and enjoy the day with our family and friends. A huge shoutout to our point of contact, Isabelle. She was incredibly organized and responsive, and made planning everything feel easy.

If you’re looking for a venue that delivers both atmosphere and top-tier hospitality, Bistro d’Azur is a fantastic choice.

Recently hosted a special event here and the experience was so remarkable I had to share. We had 50 people and everything from the moment guests arrived till they left was perfect. Isabelle guided us through every step and the ambiance, service, and mostly importantly for me - the food, was exceptional. We started with a table for hors d’oeuvres, had a salad course, and then a buffet lunch where grilled salmon and a roasted chicken dish were the stars along with a delicious accompaniment of sides.

It was an important day for us and everyone at Bistro D’Azur, with particular gratitude for Isabelle again, made it perfect.

Highly recommended for any special occasion or non-special occasion. This place is just lovely.

Amazing food and such a great vibe—everything tasted fresh and hit the spot. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, definitely a place I’d come back to and especially for a date night or a family gathering ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food was really poor considering the price, very little selection and not that appetizing. The service was also not great. The server was snobby and made us feel like we wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Really disappointing.

The food was delicious-perfectly seasoned and the sauces were over the top. I had the lobster crepe that was a perfect portion of mushrooms and lobster- and was light, not heavy. My date had the escargots that were garlicky and the portion size was large The pork special and the duck were cooked to the perfect temperature. Both meals were just the right portion size The bonus here is that the restaurant is a BYOB which keeps the cost down. The only downside is that parking is an issue as there is no parking lot or valet service.

Service and food are fantastic. Every single recommendation was as described and they have something for every pallet.

We hired them for a private event and were very pleased with the overall experience.
The food was well prepared, presented nicely, and our guests consistently complimented it.
The staff was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the event.
We would confidently recommend them for private parties, events, and catering needs. Always ask for Chef Richard or Isaballe they can help. And its BYOB!

This review is specifically about New Year's Eve. We booked for the convenience of staying local and based on past satisfaction w Bistro, in spite of the daunting prix fixe. My review: skeleton staff was harried and resentful, service was very slow, food was good, though not hot. The fig salad, we were told, would have no figs (tho we arrived at early in the evening); in the end there were figs. Risotto was runny, not creamy. We were surprised there was no coffee/tea offered w dessert. Overall, we understand the limitations of New Year's Eve, but perhaps the price might have been less steep.

Bistro d’Azur was an amazing experience from start to finish. Every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. You can truly taste the quality and care in the food. That said, I’m a huge lobster fan, and the lobster crepe had me literally salivating… rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. The service was immaculate, attentive, warm, and on point the entire time. Between the incredible food, welcoming atmosphere, and top-tier service, this place is a true gem and one I can’t wait to go back to.

The atmosphere is serene and beautiful. Lovely ambiance. Servers were very friendly and attentive. We had a time crunch to get to a show at SOPAC and the staff was very accommodating and pleasant. The food was excellent.
