The menu features standout dishes such as Brussels sprouts, Hot Honey Chicken Naan, Tomato Bisque, and orange chocolate bread pudding. Recent visitors praised the pork chop, which was perfectly cooked and easy to cut with a fork, and enjoyed cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan from the bar, which exceeded expectations. The atmosphere is enhanced by live music, including smooth jazz, creating a lovely setting for celebrations or date nights. Guests appreciated the friendly and respectful staff, who made them feel at home and complimented their outfits. The restaurant has a beautiful setting with a covered patio and a clean environment, making it an excellent choice for a special night out. The food was especially praised, with dishes like the pork chop, scallops, and fried green tomatoes receiving high marks. The charcuterie board was also enjoyed, and the service from staff like Maryam was outstanding, with helpful suggestions from the manager, Nick. While some dishes like hush puppies and calamari received mixed reviews, the calamari was enjoyed by many, especially millennial guests. The restaurant does not entertain substitution requests. Overall, The Bistro provides a warm, inviting ambiance with delicious food and attentive service, making it a perfect spot for celebrating special moments.
