We just returned from a great dining experience. Great food and service. I highly recommend Bar Bistro.

Fantastic little gem! The menu changes frequently and everything we had was incredible. Highly recommend the winter risotto with snow crab and the deep fried Brie. Goat cheese cheesecake is the best I've ever had. Stephanie was out waitress and she was fantastic!

Absolutely amazing experience! The staff at went above and beyond to make our evening special. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine eagerness to make sure we had everything we needed. Our server was incredibly attentive without being intrusive, checking in just at the right moments. They paid attention to every detail, from remembering our preferences to making thoughtful recommendations. The customer service here is truly exceptional – they made us feel valued and cared for throughout our entire meal. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience! We will definitely be back!!

The filet mignon was hard and and dry. I ordered the fettuccine with gorgonzola which was great but the filet mignon was disappointing.

My husband had the ribeye which he also did not like.

The salad and parmesean dressing was divine as was the crab bisque.

The homemade Limeade I ordered mixed with Bombay gin was my bar the best drink I've had in a long time.

Great service and food, especially in the bar. Some unique food options or at minimum, everything had a little tweak you don't get anywhere else

Made a reservation for 6:30 for a birthday dinner. There were 4 of us. We arrived a few minutes early, and walked in. We stood by the register for a few minutes, but didn't get assistance, although there were approx eight tables empty. Then we noticed a small handwritten sign stating there was a private event going on, although we were not aware. They appeared to be finishing up and were giving each other hugs. It was 6:16 pm. We were approached by a female employee, who informed us there was a private event going on and we would have to stand outside until they left. There was another couple waiting, too, who was told the same thing. We understand that it may have been a private event, but it just seemed ridicules that were were being told to stand outside. We were not in the way, at all. We all looked at each other and just left. This place isn't all that, anyway and looks like a dive. We had a great meal elsewhere. We won't be back here.

Everything we ate there was amazing. Our drinks were amazing. The food was cooked perfect and it was beautiful. It was very enjoyable where we were sitting and relaxing. The staff was very attentive and checked on anything we might need as well as kept our water filled and our drinks. Our drinks we had their sweet tea and their blackberry lemonade it was delicious. Don’t miss eating at this place and make a reservation. They fill up quickly every day.

Our server Stephanie was amazing. She was bright, helpful, opened up the patio just for us…the was so pleasant and just made our experience top notch.

This is a nice place with great service and a good atmosphere. However, I was disappointed with the risotto. The herb they chose to put in it was lots and lots of parsley. WHY? Here's a sentence you'll never hear: "Gosh this food is good, but I wish it had more parsley." Of all the herbs on this planet why would you choose to feature parsley? It's bland and slightly bitter. There was so much in the rice that it was overwhelming. Really ruined the whole dish.
