Have been here many times, but. Today an older gentleman was speaking on his phone in speaker mode, loud (it’s a small restaurant). Asked the waiter to please encourage man to talk direct or outside, he didn’t. My wife was going to go, I got up and asked the waiter to please speak to the gentleman, he said he would not. Really? It’s a Resturant that seeks to appear upscale, but to not do this? In fact he said this was permitted. I am shaking my head in disbelief. PS my wife walked over and politely (of course) spoke to gentleman who immediate turned speaker phone off.

Great food and excellent service. I loved the wild boar with plum sauce and my husband enjoyed the pork chop.

Today, an impromptu luncheon date with my lovely wife! We were nearby after an eye exam, and dropped in for a 1pm lunch. Bistro Le Cep, has been a family favorite for years. Our visit this afternoon was another delightful decision…
Entering, we were welcomed by the french-country atmosphere and escorted to a table for two. First impression - the table was beautifully plated over a freshly ironed tablecloth. Nice touch! Reviewing the menu - the original thought was to both order the french-onion soup. Instead, I changed to the two-course salmon special, after it was recommended by our waiter. I would not be disappointed!
My wife enjoyed the french-onion soup commenting it was delicious and served at the perfect temperature. Course one, was wedge salad with tomato, cucumber, and crumbly blue cheese. Perfect! Course two, grilled salmon, a favorite, was equally delicious. The vegetable accompaniment - broccoli, carrots, potatoes - were perfectly prepared. The serving portions were sufficiently ideal. The service was professionally attentive. Both meals were affordably priced. We plan on returning again soon!

My boss, Mr. Herbert Johnson likes to sit at table #1. The associate that I spoke to to reserve that table was accommodating and table 1 was reserved when Mr. Johnson arrived for his lunch meeting with someone else. I am thankful for their service!

We took some friends and we all had a delightful evening. Service was outstanding...it always is. Ambiance is comfortable and a low noise level. Food was delicious...properly seasoned and cooked. This is a neighborhood gem!
