“We went for our anniversary dinner and had a fantastic time—- sat at the bar around 4:30pm on a Saturday, service was very attentive and the vibes were very laid-back. We split the Dirty Caesar salad and enjoyed the fantastic house bread to start. The salad dressing was incredible. I don’t like green olives but they were large pieces that were easy to eat around and move to my husband’s plate (he loves them!). We also split the hanger steak with the bordelaise sauce. We ordered the steak medium rare and it was just perfect! The fries were perfect for sopping up the fantastic bordelaise sauce. I can without a doubt say this was the best steak I have had outside of Paris. I am eager to try the other butters and sauces offered for the steak, but the bordelaise was so good it is going to be hard not to order it every time! My husband was thrilled to find 1664 on draft, as it was his go-to beer choice on our honeymoon in France years ago. I enjoyed an absolutely spectacular glass of Beaujolais that was very reasonably priced and paired perfectly with the steak. We were already thrilled with the ambiance and the service and the food and drink at this point, but when we mentioned we were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary they poured us glasses of champagne on the house, which really made us feel special and taken care of. We finished the night with the Peach Melba for dessert, and I was absolutely blown away at the quality of each ingredient in this dessert and how it was plated. I was sad to hear it is leaving to make room for a new fall/winter seasonal dessert, but I am a sucker for seasonal menus so this just got me excited to come back and try next season’s dessert! If it is anything like the Peach Melba we had, I am certain I will love it. This restaurant is a little bit above our normal eating-out budget, but by splitting plates and eating at the bar we were able to enjoy a truly luxurious experience that made our anniversary truly special this year. We will be remembering this dinner for a long time, and we can’t wait to come back!!“

“The veggie dogs and plant dog is cheap food so if you’re at IKEA and hungry these are totally worth getting, but I can’t say I would drive out of my way to order these. They were out of the pickled beets but we got the crispy onions as a topping for an extra 25 cents. The veggie dog in my opinion was tastier than the plant dog—both are vegan. Overall, it was pretty decent and for the price you can order as many as you like. Edit: 2nd time we got the Veggie Meatballs and it was pretty good. As for no gravy. Staff said Mash potatoes are vegan but you can also order fries instead. Updated from previous review on 2024-05-25“

“Pizza was soooooo good!! Even my autistic son loved it! The reason I didn't give 5 stars was due to the cooks giving my order to another gal who ordered after me. We both got the same item and they didn't call numbers. Was a little frustrating as we had to wait another 10+ minutes. Also wanted to mention there was a sweet waitress that was very helpful to get us an extra plate and cup.“

“This place is amazing and the staff is amazing ! Cannot wait to go back !!!“

“Our first dining experience at this restaurant and we will return. Khi our server made certain we were comfortable, explained the menu and specials. Was friendly and polite. Perfect. Camerons Old Fashion and Smokey Margaritas were delightful. The short ribs were tender, deep in flavor, enjoyed the horseradish puree (more horseradish would make it perfect). The duck breast had well seared skin, was perfectly tender, and a enjoyable depth of flavor. The sauce gravy was excellent. I highly recommend the lamb meatballs as an appetizer. Soak up the remaining sauce with the bread. Excellent. The pineapple upside down cake was a pleasant dessert surprise and delicious.“

“The Wine Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants. The service is always exceptional, and the wine selection is unmatched. We ordered salads, which were tasty, a cheese board, also good. The meatball appetizer was the only thing that was disappointing. It used to be three meatballs in a wonderful tomato sauce. Now it is one meatball with a smoky flavor that almost tastes burned. Service was really good“
