   C'est si Bon is a delightful small bistro with attentive, personalized service. Trust the wine recommendations. And, after several visits, I can say the cuisine keeps getting better and better. Order the Savoyard cheese puffs!

   First time customer. Truly impressed by food, exceptional quality and superior value - menu is broad enough to not feel limiting at all. Service including by owner was terrific, right pace, great advice on wine choice. In a nutshell, we will be back , it feels like we discovered a gem.

   This is a teeny tiny restaurant (9 tables, 20 diners) that is wedged into a semi industrial district next to a tattoo parlor. Incredible how the chef can create so many masterpieces in a kitchen the size of a broom closet. John is the owner, and he seems to function as a one man Maistre d", server, busboy, sommelier, and probably janitor after the restaurant closes. Another amazing sleight of hand(s). There is a (very pricey) tasting menu available for $152 (before wine), that appears to have about 12 courses. The regular menu changes frequently. Basically, follow John's suggestions for everything. It's all fabulous. Downsides are that the tables are only inches apart, so don't come here for quiet, private conversations. Parking is a bit of a pain, but not a real obstacle to a great destination meal. Vive la France!!

   Hi Kathy! Merci for your kind words and taking the time to review our bistro! I wanted to clarify a few things for diners who are interested in dining with us that might get the wrong idea about our space. Our neighbor is not a tattoo parlor, they're a yoga studio, perhaps the neon sign gave you that impression? Our tasting menu is 152.00 for 10 courses, however, that is for 2 guests. Given that we change out 20-30 plates per couple and my wine pairing is 39.00 which is for 8 paired wines, we think that it is fairly priced. Parking is free, directly across the street and never full. It is true that for 12 years I've found creative ways to do much with 600 sq.ft. We are usually fully staffed although holidays are challenging, merci bien for your review and we hope to see you again soon!

   My husband and I went to this restaurant and it was great we did the tasting menu and the chef and team was super kind I have a shellfish allergy and they did a great job accommodating us. We also had a really great experience with the pairings of wine and the food. Will definitely come here again my husband loved it.

   Hands down the best meal my husband and I have ever had. We chose the 10 course tasting menu. We loved every dish. Especially great were the pear salad, the creme of mushroom soup, the white fish, and the beef bourguignon. The lemon crepe and the pots de creme were also amazing. We had very attentive waiters, they explained each dish, they recommended drinks to pair with dishes. We will definitely be back.

    John and his team continue to deliver a solid French Bistro experience. A tight core menu with seasonal specials. Curated wines are well paired.
