My wife and I had the pleasure of dining here last night. From the moment we walked in the door we knew we were in for a lovely experience. The decor and atmosphere of the building already sets the tone for an intimate experience. The piano player and fireplaces only add to it. We had shrimp and calamari for our appetizer, perfectly cooked and served with a delicious dip. Our entrees were just as amazing. For desert we had chocolate cake, and we'll be measuring all future cakes to this one. Our server was Jessica. She was extremely attentive, and made sure we enjoyed every second of our experience. The best part was talking fishing at the end of it. We look forward to the next time we are in town and can pop in.

Thought we would try a new place for date night, we decided to give the Bistro a try after hearing recommendations from a few people. Server was pleasant, listed the day's specials, answered a few questions and even stated the meal portions are quite ample. We place an order with spinach dip as a starter and main course was Veggie Thai Green Curry and French Dip. We were surprised when the main course arrived as we had not received the starter. As the mains arrived, we thought we would overlook the missing appetizer and order dessert after. The Veggie Thai Green Curry was tasty but the serving size was anything but ample, I still felt hungry after. The French Dip was not as expected, the shaved prime rib lacked seasoning and the Swiss cheese seemed and teased like it was processed cheese. When the server asked us about the meal, we mentioned the French Dip didn't meet my wife's expectations, the concerns seemed to be just dismissed. We decided not to order dessert and just get the bill. When bill arrived, it was for the full amount with no acknowledgement of the less than spectacular meal. After paying, we left still hungry and we will never be going back. Just an aside, the piano man was great, a joy to listen to and had a great selection of songs.

We recently celebrated my partner's birthday at this fantastic bistro and we absolutely loved our time here. The menu is super unique, with common dishes made in a special way that really stands out. Every bite was delicious and you can tell there's a lot of care and thought process gone in their cooking.The staff were great—friendly and attentive. They've got a good beer selection too, which is a nice bonus.I was really happy with the variety of yummy vegetarian options. We were with a bunch of friends here, so tried many starters including the fusion ones like avocado bomb, corn cob, which tested great.
The highlight for me was the Chicken Parmesan Risotto—it was so tasty and the portion size was perfect.The kids' menu is one of the nicest I've seen, making it a great spot for families. Overall, this bistro is a gem with its unique menu, delicious food, and great service. Highly recommended!

Celebrated my birthday at the Bistro with some friends, my partner and 2 year old, and felt like I ended up getting an actual party! The team was extremely warm and welcoming, and the food was divine! Many of the menu items like the corn ribs and the Avocado chaat were very innovative, and The Bistro does wonders with your regular dishes like steaks and burgers as well. One of the highlights for us was the baked brie with cranberry jam. My 2 year old also loved the food and exploring the restaurant. The team was very lovely with her. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to celebrate something special or have a relaxed meal while exploring the Elgin/Port Stanley area.

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Even the manger went out of her way to talk to us. It was a great way to start our vacation.
Appetizers were so cheaply made but not cheaply priced. Cheesey garlic bread was Texas toast drizzled with cheese spread and unmelted Parm. Very unimpressed. $50 poorly spent. Cancelled entrees and left.

Highly recommend this restaurant. The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can’t wait to come back. We tried Avo mini bombs one of their signature dish and its tasty too!! Also we tried cream of mushroom soup, chicken PRIMAVERA and Chicken Penne Primavera everything was very delicious love the taste, quantity, presentation, good ambiance and amazing customer service.
