Good location, OK ambience. It’s a bar with high backed booths that segment out the space: it may come handy in the evening with lots of drinkers around, but it makes the dining experience feel cheap. Service was kind yet quite over-enthusiastic, especially compared to the food quality. Everything we tried tasted pretty bland or too spicy or greasy or both. Textures were often dry, and somehow even the mussels tasted mediocre (which is so easy to make, but this was too salty and overcooked) Portions were reasonable and so were the prices, but overall the value seemed lacking.

Service was friendly; quite enthusiastic. Food looked good on the menu, but every item was pretty bland, often dry: overall passable bar food.

Everyone in my party enjoyed their food a lot. I didn't like the fish tacos but the waiter was very gracious and insisted on reimbursing me for the meal. He was a very good server.

It was so awesome. The bathroom was not clean, that's the only thing other than that it was awesome. I will be back for brunch, maybe dinner too.

Luke was great! Really friendly and attentive. The Cajun shrimp and chicken pasta was amazing!

I took my elderly mom here and there was absolutely no issue with her wheelchair-we were delighted with our meals and the service. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I can’t believe I have to write another 100 character review to just say visit this place and have fun. The whole vibe is pretty cool, outside. Seating was great for people watching the wild game. Burger was great, beer was cold, I loved it!

The food and wait staff were amazing. The kitchen must have had a hard day because it took 45 minutes for our appetizer to come out and we had to wait over an hour for our dinner because of a burger challenge. I would go back with high hopes for a better experience simply because of the food and our waiter Michael.
We arrived for our reservation at 6:30pm before we were set to get drinks with friends at 7:45pm down the street. We figured it would be more than enough time to have a quick bite and be on our way. When we arrived, there was only about 2-3 parties seated inside, and the same outside on the patio. We got seated quickly on the patio and that was about all that went right. The restaurant is in a great spot, we were able to sit outside and enjoy Park Ave on a really nice night. Our server tried his best, it looked like he was covering every table inside and outside that night. After about 10 min of being seated, he arrived and took our drink order. He then left to get the drinks arriving back about 5 minutes later. My husband ordered a burger and I ordered a Cesar salad with fries. Our server did notify us that a party of four inside just places four orders of their burger challenge- 18 burgers in total not including all the additional sides. We expected it to be a bit of a wait, but not an hour. During that hour, we noticed it started to get busier outside but inside still remained pretty empty. We also never saw our server again until about 45 minutes in where he told us the kitchen was really backed up. This was also when he was notified that the party who ordered four of the challenges dined and dashed. We let our server know at 7:40pm with still no food, that once it did come out we needed the check so we could rush to our next spot. Dinner arrived right at 7:45pm, he offered to get us boxes but never returned. Ten minutes later and late for our next reservation, we ended up having a few bites and had to leave 60% of our meal on the table. When I looked inside, our server was standing at the bar talking with someone. We were visiting from Buffalo so the chances we will dine here again are slim when there are lots of other spots on Park Ave to check out. I would recommend that during the weekends and busy dinner hours, the food challenge is not offered.

Stopped by after visiting a nearby museum. We missed the brunch and BOGO special but that was ok. We were happy with the menu choices we had. I got mussels and my tablemate had a salad with chicken. He got a Limoncello spritz. I had Naked Dove beer; the first time to try their beer. Service was good and so was the food. We liked the drinks and atmosphere. We were there about 3 p.m. so it was a bit quiet which was ok. We sat inside; there was a bit of rain outside. But they did have tables with umbrellas. We sat in a booth. They had a bar that had a few folks. Parking was a bit difficult. We went around the block a couple times looking for a spot. Finally got a free one on a side street.

Place has gone down hill. We went for dinner, put our names in and we’re told a 45 minute wait. We went for drinks somewhere else and came back after over an hour of no call. The host then told us to find another restaurant. The place wasn’t even close to being busy, let alone packed… between this and the other political issues this place is going through, I won’t return.

This bistro was amazing, no idea how it’s only #25 on this list! The food was fantastic, the service was just as good. We will definitely be back!

Always a great spot for lunch. Lots of great food and super service. And eating out on Park avenue can't be beat. Even got to bring the dog!
