    We have a ten here many times over the years. The food is always excellent. They modify the menus frequently, and are accommodating in modifying a dish if you want a different side or sauce.. I have been quite curious why it seems not as crowded as I would expect on a Saturday evening.. My recommendation if for you to try this place!

    Food and Service are always excellent. The quality of the ingredients used is pristine. They are consistent, that is so important. The specials were so well thought out we had trouble deciding on our old favorites or desire to try something new. Highly recommend if you have not tried yet.

    A little disappointed in the food. Just ok, and I've eaten there many times in the past and remembered it being amazing. But the escargot and lobster ravioli was bland. Service was great though.

    The food was very good. We had mussels to start them sesame crusted tuna and branzino. The issue was the service. We were the only pms in the restaurant and it still took a while after we were given the menu for the waiter to take our order. I’m could hear the staff talking but could not see anyone from where we were seated

    The service was great and most of the food was delicious . The coconut crusted mahi mahi was over salty , lime the fish might have been old, but the other chicken dish was delicious . We love safe bistro and will be back , hoping the salty fish was a one - off.

    The waiter John was very friendly and nice, but we went for restaurant week and the menu online was incorrect we were not able to get what we went for, also the bottle of wine for restaurant week was supposed to be $30.00 the waiter said he gave us a better one and charged us $40.00.

    Food is always amazing. Service is always a mess. We were seated quickly and our bus boy brought us water and bread but then no one came to our table for over 20 minutes. The waiter was lackluster in personality and didn’t really want to spend time talking to us or suggesting anything when we asked a few questions.

    BEWARE - the management of this restaurant is horrible and just doesn’t care or respect it’s customers. Their valet driver got into an accident with my car while parking it and they wouldn’t take responsibility and repair my car. I have video recordings of the valet. Unfortunately I have to spend money suing them for the repairs. Shame

    The ambiance was perfect! The staff were very attentive, pleasant and loved that some spoke French which makes the experience so authentic. The food was remarkable and exceeded our expectations. My partner did restaurant week - the escargot, duck and bread pudding exceeded his expectations and he can’t wait to go back. ( the portions were perfect). I went off the regular menu and was very happy with everything with the exception of the dessert, the crepes were too cooked and heavy but that is my opinion and does not disuade me from returning.
