This was our third time at Bistro Lepic and it proved why we keep coming back. We had a wonderful experience celebrating our daughter's birthday. The French onion soup was rich and flavorful, and the beef medallions were cooked perfectly. The seabass special was the highlight—absolutely delicious! We ordered four entrees and they were all incredible. The service was warm and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made for a truly enjoyable meal. We’ll definitely be returning yet again! Highly recommend.

Firstly, for a modern bistro the noise level was quite low. This is helped by the absence of music playing in the background. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. If you are looking for a delicious meal served in a leisurely manner, this is the place.
