Lovely ambiance, friendly wait staff, and very good food. Excellent place to eat if you just rolled in from a flight. You can find your classics, a good NY steak and fries, a classic burger.

Ate here with a friend on monday night and I ordered a non alcoholic drink, something about the drink was off but I just wasn't sure, I was only able to drink half the drink before I got sick. Bad headache then stomachache really bad, by the time the food came out which was really long more then 30mins and we where the only people there at the time. I was on the verge of throwing up so we left as soon as the food came out and I barely made it outside before I puked. It's been 3 days and I'm still sick. Missed work and other appointments spent $60 just to get sick and loss of wages. Your business needs to check your bottles and flavored liqueur the bar before someone else gets sick.

The food was a joke! Super overpriced and not even very good

Just like its accompanying hotel, this is great. Friendly staff, very conversational. The food is wonderful. The wagyu burger, etc.

Very overpriced foods, served cold and didn’t leave the Bistro satisfied. The clams and soup were not seasoned; watered down with little to no flavor.

Steak and frites… I was expecting a tender, flavorful piece of meat, but I was totally disappointed. You’d be lucky if you get 5 oz or more—it’s literally just a little bit. The fries were good and crispy, but overall, not worth the price. Avoid this place if you’re here for the food. Service was standard, atmosphere is actually what makes it over all a two star.

A gem! Excellent service, excellent food! Stayed at the Dossier Hotel and came across this really awesome spot at the hotel. I can definitely recommend the fried gnocchi, lemmon pound cake, blistered green beans and the chicken sandwich. Has an amazing dining experience thanks to Amanda and James who provided excellent service to make the meal even more enjoyable.

I set the wrong expectations for this restaurant. I read Bistro and in my mind I was expecting more than a hamburger option for lunch. They did have many delicious looking breakfast options, but we were there for lunch. Our server was less than stellar.

Delicious meal in a classy peaceful ambiance. I enjoyed an Old Fashioned which was strong as it should be and a melt in your mouth her butter topped steak frites with perfectly seasoned and crunchy fries. My husband enjoyed a Peach Bellini which was fresh and bubbly and a cooked to perfection fried chicken sandwich. My husband is allergic to beef so he is always on a quest for the perfect chicken sandwich and this was one of the best he's had in a long time. I highly recommend.
