    The Coq au Vin and Pain au Lait are two of the best foods I've ever tasted.

    We waited a bit to be seated and then served, but the service improved as the evening went on. The escargot were good and authentic and the pigs ears were crunchy but a bit too salty. The beef Bourgignon and the Duck were both tasty and well portioned.

    We went there on the last day of Summerlious. The $55 dinner offering was good value. I would have given 5 stars if there was less brown bread and more broth in the French Onion Soup. I had to ask and received some additional broth on the side, however the extra broth was not hot and I didn't check it before pouring into bowl and so my French Onion Soup was now cold....but that was my fault for assuming the extra broth would have been hot. Service was great and I had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly

    The waitress was really nice and attentive. The patio was perfect to stay on in summer. However It felt like our cocktails did not have any alcohol in them. Th French onion soup was good. The risotto we ordered lacked taste , tanginess and the rice was undercooked. Salmon was perfectly cooked but muscles that were served as an appetizer had very little sauce and half of my plate had just empty shells. The merengue dessert was too sweet. To me summerlicios is when you get something restaurant has to offer daily but smaller portions and for a certain price. It felt like the dishes did not match this restaurant level.

    Overall our experience was good but service was slow. We sat with dirty plates and empty glasses for a while and we had to ask to get them cleaned. Steak my husband ordered was quite tough. We didn’t even get a steak knife, we had to ask for one. I worked in service industry for almost 10 years and restaurant this caliber should step up a bit.

    I want to thank the staff and chefs for the attention to detail throughout my entire visit. I mentioned in my reservation that I was celebrating a birthday, and they truly excelled at making us feel welcome and appreciated. From the start, they greeted us with a special welcome and made sure to identify who in the group was the birthday guest. From that great beginning to the start of our culinary experience, they continued to excel—offering complimentary in-house plates and Champagne to celebrate. The food was cooked to perfection: great taste, great seasoning—everything was on point. I cannot recall right now the names of the people who attended us, but I appreciate you all. I can’t express enough the level of detail throughout the dining—from the precise position and direction of the cutlery to the regular check-ins, and of course, the very welcome birthday candle with the dessert. I recommend Biff’s Bistro to anyone, for any kind of occasion.
