Visited on 11/15 for my partner's birthday and had a bad experience. Party of six with a reservation showed up on time and were promptly sat, but that's when things started to go down hill. Service was generally slow and led to us asking the bussing staff to send our waiter over a couple of times. While that's understandable in a busy restaurant, I'd expect more for $50+ a plate. We had to ask for dessert menus and didn't receive one that we ordered. It was not on the receipt at least, but a $4 fountain soda water was - had to ask the bussing staff for a refill on that throughout dinner.
However, worst of all, two of the six members of our party ordered the filet (54$ each), one medium, one medium rare. Both arrived extremely well done. We requested they be remade. That request was only taken seriously after we sawed the steaks in half to prove there was zero pink. The steaks were taken away, but we were left with our sides to get cold while they were remade. When they came back, while they were cooked properly, they were not filets. Some other cut was substituted to accompany our now cold sides.
And to top it all off, after giving my card for payment our waiter came back to the table to tell us he'd forgotten to put a bottle of wine on there. This wasn't to say he'd comp'd it for our troubles, but to let us know the bill was even higher. Nothing was comp'd, including $112 of steaks and soda water.
We'll never go back and we're members of a winery in the area.

Had the prawns and pasta but the prawns were nothing but medium shrimp, not the prawns I was expecting. Only one wait person in the entire restaurant. Service was far below expectations and was charged for 4 drinks when we only had 2.

Service was not great. Food was just ok.
Arrived at 6:25 for a 6:30 reservation and told we had to wait to be seated even though the restaurant was pretty empty. Food was just ok - nothing special. We ordered dessert (affogato) and the waiter brought an extra shot of espresso which we didn’t ask for and said it was on him. Later when the bill came we were told the manager needed us to pay for it and $4 for an espresso shot seemed pricey. There are much better places in the area - I’d skip this one

Dundee Bistro is absolutely amazing - the food is consistently outstanding, and the service is even better! I’ve been going there for over 20 years, and most recently they went above and beyond to accommodate my very high maintenance, low value, to-go order for dessert (THANK YOU!). Highly recommend the Bistro for any occasion big or small!

Dinner experience was much better than expected! Food was delicious, waiter was amazing and would definitely go back next time we are in town.

We are locals, used to go to the Bistro every week and had not been there for 2 years because of the quality of the food. We came back recently to give it another try, unfortunately the quality of the ingredients and the actual preparation was as poor as it was 2 years ago. Soggy and stale home made potato chips started our meal, followed by a Filet that had absolutely no flavor and 3 other proteins (2 burgers and 1 salmon) that were prepared over their gas grill and had bitter flavor of a grill flaring up, not grilled but bitter burn. We left very sad and unfortunately won’t be going back for a long time.

Under staffed or I'm not sure why it took us about 20 minutes to get check and then another 20,minutes for the charge card to come back. Brussel sprouts were great!

Brian was a terrific server! He guided us perfectly through our selection and we ended up with a generous delicious bowl of steamer clams, and a yummy side of Brussels sprouts!
Excellent food and great service. Outdoor eating was really nice because the weather was superb. Some annoying flies and parking is limited.
Joe
Food was excellent. Service was good but inconsistent. At first servers were all over us to help. Then they weren't present for a period. But it was fine. Ambiance was great too. It's a great spot and I try to go when I'm in Dundee
Glenda

Dan

Susie
Menu options seemed to have changed from the last time we visited not many options. A little disappointed with the service. Wine list is excellent.
