    We had oysters, escargot and mussels. I had to order 2 because she didn't want me to eat all of her plate. It was delicious. This place has been our go-to for anniversaries for a number of years.

    With respect to Bistro Barberet & Bakery in Lancaster, Pa, if you have never dined there, you're missing out. We have dined here before, although not in recent months and have also taken home exquisitely crafted desserts from the bakery. They are EYE CANDY, to be sure and eat as good as they look. Thursday is Oyster Night and we settled for a 1/2 dozen beauties from Prince Edward Isle. Escargot and the Quenelle De Lyon (basically a fish souffle, with shrimp, gruyere cheese, a creole sauce and herbs) were appetizer choices as well. They were outstanding. The 3 piece Quenelle offering is served in a mini-cast iron pan, finished under the broiler. Mouth watering as I am writing this. My wife opted for the Butcher's Cut of the night which was an 8oz Filet Mignon served in a light green peppercorn and cremini mushroom sauce, accompanied by ricotta gnocchi. Perfectly cooked; it melted in your mouth. I opted for the salmon entree. The only word that comes to mind is SUBLIME. Cooked to perfection and served with a light heavenly sauce. We did leave room for dessert and here at the Bistro you are free to go back into the bakery and choose whatever is in the case. Meredith was our most competent server this evening and we spent a little time talking with him. It was a perfect night and a perfect meal. Very nice hand crafted cocktails and a beautiful wine list offering glass and bottle service. Not to be missed. Street metered parking and two extremely close parking lots nearby. Thanks to the staff at Bistro Barberet & Bakery.

    Having returned from France recently, it was wonderful to find a bit of France in our own backyard. All four of us enjoyed our dinners. The poulet au jus was crisped outside and moist and juicy inside with delightful accompaniments of roasted sunchokes and carrot-mango puree. It paired well with a glass of Vouvray. The desserts were the stars, however. My creme brulee was perfection and our birthday honoree said the profiterole was the best (among many) he had ever had. The restaurant thoughtfully provided macarons as a birthday gift. Can't wait to return.

    We have dined at this restaurant on many occasions and each time the food and service are top notch. Despite being quite busy when we were there, the service was attentive and gracious and the food was well prepared and presented. This is my go to restaurant in Lancaster.
