    Very good omakase experience. The chef was very nice and communicative about what he was serving. Patient with our desire to take videos and pictures. Food was very fresh and larger portions than other places. The wagyu beef was worth the added price. The omakase was in the back away from the general restaurant which seems to be filled up as well.

    BC Bistro is a hidden gem. Went in there Christmas Eve. Sat at the bar. Steve was an amazing bartender. It was a prefixed menu. The grilled octopus was amazing we also had the egg roll forgot what it was stuffed with, it was Yummy. Short ribs and dinner and of course all the desserts are outstanding. So Merry Christmas BC and Happy New Year.

    Went there with some family members…Our waiter Angel was the BEST! Fun, friendly, smart and efficient! We had shrimp cocktail that was delicious! Caesar salad, just ok. Porterhouse for two was AMAZING. And the corn brulet was outrageous! The sweet potato fries were tasteless… the owner or manager came over and we mentioned that- he said they were new and tasted it and agreed … but oddly didn’t take that off the bill. Just a suggestion for them for next time … I would definitely return though!
