Best Family Style Restaurants in Upper Greenville

Last night, my wife and I had a marvelous opportunity to celebrate the Holiday Season at Bistro 31. According to Michael, the Metra D, the Bistro has been open for 13 years. He remembers our joining him for this occasion for each of those years. The food, service, and ambiance were excellent. It only gets better each year. Christmas time isn't the only time we break bread with them. We enjoy lunch or dinner there several times during the year. We enjoy introducing friends and relatives to each of the Lombardi Family restaurants. Last evening, we took our daughter, Neenah, and her friend, Bob, for the first time. They loved it, so I know the four of us will be back. Thanks, Michael; you, Stephen, and Mr. Lombardi always treat us like family!!! Happy Holiday!!! Steve

Overall super solid and will return. Ken was our waiter, and he (and the rest of the staff) were really great. Thoughts on what we had: ▪️MANGO MEZCALRITA: expensive smoky orange juice ▪️ LUCA PARETTI PROSECCO: really good ▪️ PRETZEL BREAD: super cute and yummy ▪️ TUNA TARTARE: solid and would order again ▪️ CATCH ROLL: loved ▪️ FILET SKEWER: lots of good flavor, might get again ▪️ MEDITERRANEAN BRANZINO: didn’t finish and wouldn’t order again but probably personal taste here. The lemon was strong in the rice and the butter was def present with the fish ▪️ TRUFFLE MUSHROOM SPAGHETTI: super yummy, friend said shrimp didn’t add to the dish

Everything about our visit was great! The service, food, ambiance, etc. I will definitely be back again for the gnocchi. The complimentary valet was a nice touch as well.

We have decided to make The Mexican our go-to for our Christmas celebration with one of our best friends from now on. We started at the bar for a cocktail before we were seated in the beautiful main dining room. Our server, Josa (sp?) was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He pointed out the customer favorites for all parts of the menu. We started with ceviche and queso fundido for our starters, and we had the trio of enchiladas, the ribeye steak, and tacos for the main. We wanted to share everything and Josa did the honors of separating the starters and the mains onto three dishes. As we were finishing our first course, a tequila sommelier came to our table who gave us a mini course on the correct way to taste tequila. Free, interesting, and fun! We finished with the Quatro Leche cake for dessert which was delicious. All in all, one of the best dining experiences for me in the last three years. It’s not cheap, however. All in, dinner and cocktails were north of $700 for the three of us. But, we said we’d definitely do it again. Thanks all for a memorable evening!

Best birthday dinner I have ever had! The ambiance the food the service everything was 5 star. I will be back!
