    I’ve dined at Bistro for more than a decade. My visit on 4/28 was the best I’ve ever had. From Dino the Somm and his recommendations on wine, to Luis my server, they were exceptionally attentive of every detail. Nick and Noah took care of all my beverage requests after dinner. The culinary experience was above and beyond; every note of each course was outstanding. Chef Robert, Chef David, and Chef Tab are making magic with each course. William’s service was the perfect touch of knowledge and hospitality. I will be selecting Bistro for not just all my upcoming special occasions, but whenever I need a respite from the everyday.
