Bistro 72 At Hotel Indigo East End

Our first experience started a little rough....
The seating was very small for my adult party of 9, and the music & other parties were extremely loud.
We did not have water at the table, and had to ask for bread to be brought as well.
However...the food was phenomenal & the portions were huge! Our server was lovely & worked very hard to please us. I will go back, but maybe on a weeknight when it's bound to be less noisy/busy.

We have been to the Bistro 72 many times. Normally I would rave about the food/chef. But unfortunately the last two times we've been there the food has not been that good. I had salmon recently and felt sick immediately after eating. This time I ordered the ribeye and only ate half of it because it was so chewy.
I will probably give this restaurant one more try before I completely take it off my list. Mostly because our waitress was wonderful. And the live music and happy hour are pretty good.
Hopefully they improve the quality of the food to match their prices.

Farm to table means something

First time at Bistro 72. We were very surprised at the service and food. Very nice menu with a nice variety. Friendly and attentive staff. Live music completes the picture. We will be going back.

Everything was good with the exception of the lobster roll. I did not like it at all.

Excellent food, but extremely long wait times to get checked on and to refill water, get check, etc. I was accidentally “glutened” despite specifically asking about an item on the “gluten free possible” menu. She was apologetic, and mistakes happen, but it’s still unfortunate.

We have stayed at Hotel Indigo a number of times and always eat at Bistro 72. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all wonderful experiences. The food and service is great. We always enjoy eating here.

Service was good but understaffed
Live music was enjoyable but too loud
Salads were all good
Chix seafood all good but seafood over cooked
Prices are typical hotel and LI too high but then you know that.

Shrimp Tacos!! Best I’ve ever had. Great ambiance!

Loved the outdoor dining-ate their our entire stay of three days-our servers were helpful and efficient -our food was very good

Great food and service. Relaxed atmosphere. Outdoor seating with nice music.

Service was horrible. We ordered drinks. Only 2 of the 4 arrived. We waited another 20 minutes for the waitress to come back. She didn’t bring the other drinks. We decided to leave and go elsewhere. We eat there often and never experienced such terrible service. If it’s the same waitress I will ask for someone else next time.

We were staying at the hotel to celebrate a 40th Birthday. Our party had dinner at Bistro 72the previous night and brunch Sunday morning. Our experience both days was exceptional. The food, service, and ambiance were beyond our expectations.

I have to be honest! Am a server myself and came here because a friend ate here before !! We walked in no one by the hostess stand to greed us, there was a couple behind us also waiting to be sat , waitress saw us, and went and got the hostess. We sat waitress came over very sweet and attentive, there was no one else there beside a single guest , was weird for being a Saturday night ! Our appetizers were good , food was ok,rack of lamb was good but potatoes were warm , my fries on my lobster roll was luke warm , we asked the waitress to wrapped our food and left !Asked for bread waitress said there were no more cloth napkin that’s why she didn’t bring it out, meanwhile dinningroom is empty , grab a napkin from empty table and bring it out , she brought it out on a plate ..We wouldn’t be back ! Not worth the price ..

Beautiful summer night at our favorite bistro!! The rose wine was flowing, the service fantastic (Nick) thanks for everything again. The food here is always yummy & fresh...haven't had a bad meal at Bistro 72. I bring all my friends & they absolutely love the food & ambiance. Thanks for aother great night, see you next month for Palm on the Patio.

Enjoyed the new menu items. The shrimp tacos were amazing! They were an appetizer and more then enough. All the items we ordered are always delicious! We go every other week. Sitting outside this time of year is a relaxing way to end the day

Unfortunately the service was horrible as we had read in other reviews. Too many tables not enough help. Food was good but the fact that the restaurant’s outdoor seating was right next to the pool with people walking right by your table in their swimsuits wasn’t very good for the ambiance.

Food is consistently delicious! We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Our waiter Nick was very attentive along with the busters who were great! Can’t wait to go again

Eight people in our party. We all enjoyed the and service. We we definitely return.

Music was good!...company was great! service was good!

Great atmosphere. We sat outside and listened to jazz music. The show was excellent! Food and service were great. We will be back!

my girlfriends & I always love your Patio Series in the summer months. We enjoyed jazz & gin last week ...great nibbles too! Must start with our experience with the Koval people, how nice they were in letting us sample drinks before ordering. They also, gave us info on where to find the Koval product near us. After deciding on the drink for the night, we sat at our table & had a delightful waitperson by the name of CarriAnn. She too, our order of nibbles, flatbread pizza special, lamb sliders & cheese plate. The woman know what she was doing for sure...she paced out all our selections with no rush on it!!!! As we drank our gin cocktail & eat our delicious food, Johnny Sax & band played some fabulous music. Bistro 72 we love you for having such a great place to enjoy a summer evening. Be back next month for the rose night!!!

Celebrated our 36th Anniversary at Bistro 72 and was thoroughly pleased with the dining experience from start to finish! Service and food were both excellent and all ready have plans to come back soon, perhaps for Brunch!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! The food is amazing and excellent service - the salmon is my favorite anywhere! Great burgers, steak and OH don't forget those bourbon glazed chicken wings!

Reservation went smoothly; restaurant gave s choice of outside or inside eating . Food is always hood here

Didn't know this place existed but needed an early dinner so made rez and was very pleasantly surprised - no, more like amazed. Lena, our server, was excellent and the fodd was very very good. Am looking for an excuse to drive out there again as soon as I am able.

Overpriced generic food. Essentially just a bar, not worth any of the cost

We have been to the Bistro 72 numerous times. Happy hour at the bar is great. There always seems to be soave to sit. They offer a few different apps at a great price.
Normally the food is delicious. . For some reason tonights meal was lacking. Im not sure if there was something wrong with the salmon or just poorly cooked, either way i couldn’t finish it. Our waitress noticed and inquired if there was an issue which i explained. She comped the meal which was greatly appreciated since it is a little pricey (which i dint mind if its edible)..
I will definetly give the bistro another visit since I’ve been many times with no negative issues.

We enjoyed a delicious Mother’s Day breakfast at the Bistro. Food was great as was the service. The only issue we had was the temperature in the room. It is a chilly May and they were setting up their tables at the enclosed patio area, but its unheated and each time the bus staff opened the door there was a blast of cold air. Since we were seated close to the door it got uncomfortable. Despite this I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Slow service for breakfast, eggs overcooked by the time food came out. Overall just a fair experience. Would chaise another option for breakfast next time

The restaurant is welcoming and tables are well spaced . They have music several nights. Chef Debby Schaffer produces some excellent dishes, well cooked and plated. Among the best are the Tuna tartare appetizer and her Rack of Lamb , full rack perfectly cooked to order with a delectable au jus, is as good as I've tasted anywhere across the world, including New Zealand Australia, Ireland and the UK!!

This really is a hidden gem!!

We were really hoping the negative reviews were wrong about this place, as the menu & photos looked amazing! But sadly we experienced the same poor service and disappearing waitress that others wrote about. She took our order, but it was about 20min before we ever saw her again (and we needed sugar for our drinks so that was a very long 20min!), then our food took approx 45min when there were only 2 other tables and another waitress on Duty (who we actually saw frequently and almost requested SHE be our server). Our food was just ok. Definitely overpriced for the mediocre quality. This was not worth the drive or the amount of time spent there. Would not recommend and definitely won't be back.

Sunday's special menu is great value. Salad and salmon were delicious. Everything fresh and crisp. Dessert also very special.

Don't go here if you have a gluten allergy

We thought the quality of the food was very good and the service was equally as good. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal and very good service.

Excellent! The salmon was perfect! Jenna the server and bartender were delightful! Definitely check it out!

The food for restaurant week was horrible this week. The chicken carbonara should never be called a carbonara, the pasta was overcooked, the sauce was bland, felt as if I was eating pasta with "creamed chicken broth". The kale salad.... had NO kale but instead an oily spring mix. The cheesecake wasn't even unthawed, completely frozen throughout. A total disappointment. This was one of my Husband's and I favorite restaurant two years ago.

We have dined at Bistro 72 many times and we have not been disappointed yet. The food is outstanding. I definetly would recommend it if you like quiet spots with live music and delicious food. They have a. happy hour at the bar with plenty of space at the bar. There is outside seating in the warmer weather with a lovely fireplace to sit by with a glass of wine.

Salmon (recommended by my waiter) was excellent! Prepared and cooked to perfection. Service attentive and thoughtful.
Look fwd to return.

This restaurant is clean with a nice bar area with televisions. The food and staff are excellent. They have a good variety of dishes on the menu. They have live music. They are on our short list of mainstay restaurants. Looking forward to our next meal at Bistro 72. Well Done!
