The staff at the Bistro is amazing. The professional restaurant attire is appreciated. The menu changes frequently to offer many choices in soups, salads, and entrees. The oysters are featured most months. Wonderful venue !!

I've been there many times, the food and menu were better before, the ambience has always been nice, it hasn't changed for years. The ambience and the wine list are its strongest points, the food could be much better and the menu selections much more creative for the price you pay.

The staff was so friendly and helpful. Tristin, our server, was there whenever we needed him and made the experience what it was. We spent some time after the food catching up and it didn't feel like we were being rushed out of there. Will definitely return

Reserved through Open Table well in advance for special anniversary celebration dinner with my wife on Valentines day by the fireplace. The Bistro has been a favorite of ours for many years. A total disappointment this time. We arrived before 6pm and were seated in the wine bar instead of by the fireplace in the restaurant. The atmosphere in the wine bar was totally different than the restaurant and we felt like outcasts. I went to look in the restaurant and there were several tables open including one right next to the fireplace. I told the hostess that we were not happy and why could we not have the table by the fireplace since it was empty and we had made that as a special request in the Open Table reservation. The young manager then moved us to the table. I noticed that there were even other tables in the restaurant potion that remained empty all the time we were there. I felt shunned, even though I was in my suit and tie. The food was not special this time. The server was not attentive, when my wife asked for a napkin, he brought her one, but not one for me. This experience ruined this place for us, so we will be looking for a new place for our next special occasion. The manager took the blame for his employees actions and told us that he hoped we would come again real soon. Sorry, I do not want to rethink of that again. Writing this review for the Bistro will hopefully be the end of that memory. Most managers and servers learn from their mistakes, so I hope you have a much better experience,, more like we did in the those years past.

The server & host showed great accommodations to my request to be by the fireplace. Brought a ‘14 pinot noir & the server opened for a special occasion.Had a wonderful experience and loved the food. Will recommend to anyone who is looking for a great spot in the valley. Thank you!

My wife & I thought a Valentine lunch would be a treat on a rainy day. We arrived to the Dundee Bistro a bit early but was sat at a table to our liking which was fine. My wife selected Prawn Bucatini that had arugula pesto. The presentation was plain but the pasta was overwhelmed with the pesto and the "prawns" were rather small to say the least. I chose pork tenderloin which was ok for the most part but was nothing extraordinary. I expected a really fine cut of meat. We did choose two deserts which we shared--they were fine but not what we expected. Since this was Feb 14th, we expected at least a token chocolate peace, etc. upon check out. The kicker was that my wife developed a stomach ache on our way home! We did not appreciate paying on the light side of $100 to spend the rest of the day nursing an upset stomach.
Enjoyed the atmosphere. Brussels sprouts were top notch. We ordered salmon, was under cooked. Also had the burger wasn't impressed. Would give it another try as the waitstaff was very friendly.

Matthew was charming and extremely attentive. Food & wine was (and always is) delicious. Lovely fire for ambience. Great conversation with our daughter from So California. What more could you ask for?! Perfect evening!

We love the ambiance at Dundee Bistro. Tristan & Sierra are thoroughly professional servers. Both the pork and the Pasta Bolognese were delicious, and we also enjoyed the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. The wine variety is excellent! Thanks for a memorable experience.
We had not been here in about a year. I don't know why, and I know we will frequent the Dundee Bistro much sooner next time. The food here is so amazing, got the fillet medallions and they were perfectly cooked and so very delicious. Spouse ordered the prawn bucatini, and there were more prawns than expected and cooked to perfection. Don't let this place hide from you—believe me you will not be disappointed.
Wanted to try the Holiday brunch menu. Food good, but menu so limited that it doesn't really offer much for Pacific Northwest's bounty. Would have liked to see things like salmon hash or mushroom fritatta or apple oatcakes, etc. Insead was offered candy coated french toast, or porkapalooza (no protein other than pork offered). Bright spot was avocado toast. Fluffy herbed focaccia bread with amply mashed avocado and a bruschetta like grape tomato topping. Can also recommend the merry mimosa. I understand it is for a limited time. The narrow menu assures that customers will only come once during the Holiday season. Hopefully Dundee Bistro will consider expanding menu and offering brunch other times of year.

Fabulous brunch with benedicts, made-in-house pastries and innovative cocktails - served in a warm, lovely setting with a fireplace. Perfect way to start the week - we'll be back!

We eat here multiple times a year and the food has always been good until yesterday. Oysters smelled fishy; husband sent several back as they were not edible. I had the pork and it also tasted odd; the sauce that came with it tasted like pure cider vinegar - horrible. Service was excellent, as always. We will hesitate before coming back - hope things improve in the kitchen.
Wonderful experience from start to finish, with food and service! Oysters were fresh and not briny. We had the Grilled Salmon and Fusilli Bolognese for our entrees, which were both amazing and simply delicious! We enjoyed an elegant, flavorful and smooth finish wine per our server's recommendation, which is from the Domaine Drouhin Estate in Dundee Hills, Oregon. The estate is a short drive from this fabulous Italian restaurant and the wine was a 2021 Pinot Noir Laurène rated #16 in Wine Spectator for a great value at $75. I can't wait to visit the estate during our visit.

Dundee Bistro is a reliably good place for a meal while out wine-tasting. It has a small, but varied menu. The serving sizes are very reasonable, but big enough to share a few things. The wine list is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful.
