The last three times we have tried Bistro19, it’s been a disappointment. I’m not sure what happened as it used to be our favorite. Menu rarely changes but the food quality appears less. Waitress seemed short and abrupt. It’ll be a long time before we revisit.

Bistro 19 is always great. We love going here but can not get last minute reservations for a weekend. This time we went on a Monday night and reserved ahead of time. They were busy but not full. Service was great as well as food.

We usually love coming for dinner and always have a great experience. We went for brunch the other day and 2 out of 4 orders were prepared incorrectly.

Servers were a little slow and scattered. We were there for over an hour before we received our meal. However, all of our food was delicious when it arrived. Drinks were great too!

Love the ambience. Impressed with the large portion of Chilean Sea Bass which had fantastic flavor with hints of ginger.

I love this restaurant. I’ve never had to send anything back until last evening. My Chilean Sea Bass was not hot, nor was the rice. Very sticky sauce on top after I got it back. Not up to usual standard.

The environment is ok but extremely loud! Very hard to have a nice conversation with friends. Food was awesome! I saw a customer trip over the carpet which was sticking up. Very dangerous. It’s also annoying to have the host station right where we were eating. There was always someone directly behind me giving orders and talking about table assignments.
