I find almost any restaurant has good food, but a great server is what makes a great dining experience. Rene was amazing.

Called during the dinner rush for take out, and they answered almost immediately. The courteous service was both helpful and knowledgeable. The wait was less than 20 minutes. I haven't eaten here in over 3 1/2 years, but these are things i had grown to expect back then, being there so much at that time. The food, however, was somewhat of a "quiet storm", perhaps ending in a rainbow; executed with a clear intensity of passion. An aptly inspired, late summer, beet and goat cheese salad with grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette followed by a lovingly prepared and timeless blueberry crisp. I can't eat too much sugar, so i avoided the vanilla ice cream. It was delicious, fresh, and casual yet elevated; it hit the spot. Quite a serendipitous solution to my neglected and growing hunger was set off like a wildfire upon first glance at the Facebook specials page. I literally could not resist. Bravo, Chef. You delivered. Ty.

The food was delicious, especially the sweet chili cauliflower! The presentation and the atmosphere were wonderful. They do, however, claim on their menu that many of their dishes can be adjusted so that they're vegan/vegetarian/allergy free and that turned out not to be true, unfortunately. I tried to have a few dishes adjusted to be dairy free and was told by our server that they couldn't do that because the dishes "are pre-made". That was a disappointment but she did at least offer a different side to go with my meal. Service was good!

Dietary restrictions: They do not offer substitutions for dietary restrictions.

We ordered the appetizer special which didnt wow us. I had the drink special which i really liked. My husband got the Gin Gin and the Ahi Tuna entree, both were fantastic! I loved the chicken milanese. Went here at 7pm on Saturday night. About 80% of tables were occupied and several people at the bar. The seating was more relaxed for what we thought was a more upscale dining experience.

Nice family owned bistro.Went here for my anniversary in this place did not disappoint. My wife is vegan and they had multiple great options. We started off with the vegan arancini which was like a fusion of Italian and Asian in particular reminded me of sushi rice. Then I had a wonton soup that had nice firm wontons that were pretty well sized. My wife had a vegan pasta that was made with cauliflower but had a Alfredo type consistency and she was thoroughly pleased. Had the hollow burger with the egg on a pretzel bun which was a good burger but was absolutely filling. Highly recommend trying this place out

I know it's probably weird to order steak and ahi tuna as takeout....However, our plans changed, we couldn't go out and we still wanted a really nice meal on New Years. Both meals were incredible as takeout! Like, even better than expected and as if we were dining in. Cooked to perfection! I am always so impressed with their food and their amazing service!Give it a shot if you need a nice meal at home! You won't be disappointed!

We have a memorial gathering to celebrate my mother's life in a private room at the Hollow Bistro and we are so happy we had our event there! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The waiters were attentive without being intrusive (a difficult balance to strike). All the staff were very professional and easy to work with. I especially appreciated the event coordinator who sent many emails back and forth with me and was very kind, courteous, prompt in all her communication with me prior to the event. We will definitely consider this place for future family gatherings. I highly recommend this restaurant for private events!

Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu for the little ones!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for my family members with limited mobility through a side door that led directly into the event space.
