    Friendly attentive service and delicious food. Very generous servings. Sitting in the dining room is good for conversation with your table mates as it's separated from the bar by windows. We'll definitely return.

    Our first time eating at this restaurant and what a wonderful experience. We like to eat at the bar and the other diners were friendly and happy to share their experience as well. The paella was recommended by locals, so we ordered the seafood paella to share. The seafood was fresh, the rice was creamy, the food was piping hot, and all was prepared to order. We will definitely be back!

    Food was mediocre and under seasoned. The seafood risotto lacked salt and any kind of flavor and rice was undercooked. The paella had slightly more flavor but overpowered by bitterness of turmeric, which I suspect was used for the yellow color. Our server was also uncouth and made comments about how we should have ordered alcohol and something off the specials menu.

    I have dined at the Bistro many times and there is a reason I keep coming back. The food is excellent, the service is great and it has a real neighborhood feel to it.
