    The food was DELICIOUS and the service was great too. We had the octopus and mussels appetizers, then the steak and Branzino for our entrées. Everything was cooked to perfection

    This has been our go to for a great meal and friendly service. What happened? The ventilation system was terrible, the service was uninterested in us, the food was not served together, the chips for the tuna app was soggy, the music was loud, the chicken paillard was burned and cold, the sole was over cooked. I feel awful writing this but maybe they will take notice and turn this around. If not maybe a half empty restaurant on a sat evening is the indication. It pains me to write this review.

    I was disappointed because I had heard/read good things. So maybe it was an off night--Thursday. The mussels were pretty good. The escargots en croute not at all. There is one definite positive--the FOUR course prix fixe menu is $45. I doubt one can find anything like that elsewhere.

    They were flat out and keeping up but it was hectic. Food was good but unfortunately the fondue had curdled into liquid and chunks so it didn't coat when we dipped. That aside, I'll definitely go back.

    Staff and service was INCREDIBLE! We were notified that a few of the dishes we ordered had run out in the kitchen (it was a busy day + Mother's Day), and the staff took every effort to make up for it. Food was delicious and cooked to perfection. Parking is a bit limited, but not a disincentive to go in the slightest - we were pleasantly surprised by the degree to which we enjoyed the experience, and will be coming back!

    We love the food and the service is ok in this tiny place but, for a Friday evening, the place was empty except for one other table and a table outside. We hope that Appetit Bistro can survive since the food is always good.

    Amazing hidden gem in strip mall in Port Chester. My French boyfriend and I now consider this our regular go-to bistro with delicious food, and the ambiance of a small z New York City neighborhood restaurant. The appetizers are terrific and the desserts delectable! When a true Frenchman loves a bistro.. you know it is good!

    We love the food and the staff is always pleasant…. Until you’re there past 1 1/2 hours on a Saturday night…. Then they ask you to leave. We’ve had that happen twice. They didn’t even want us to have a second cup of coffee. Made the evening unpleasant

    The place looked like nothing from the outside. Once you walk in your perception completely changes. This is literally a whole in the wall. Food was really good. We had the grilled calamari and mushroom ravioli as appetizer. For the main fish we got the scallops. Everything was excellent. Service was really good. Overall it was a wonderful surprise

    The food was absolutely delicious. The service could have been better. Our waiter forgot my wine and my daughters sprite. Others who arrived after us were served drinks and food before us. Lastly, I was billed for the most expensive wine on the list and it was not what I ordered. The food great. The service needs to be sharper.

    Parking - Small lot, but plenty of street parking. Our reservation was at 5:45pm, quiet and fast. However, there was a noticeable pickup of traffic and crowding around the dinner rush and service slowed. Food - We came for Restaurant Week and chose from the prix fixe menu. Baked Escargot - delicious, but the croutons were interesting. Mushroom Ravioli - very good, and would order again. Baked Duck - my husband liked it a lot, but I would only order it if you are adventurous or familiar with it. Hanger Steak - delicious and well cooked, a bit small for the usual fare, but I still enjoyed it. Banana Beignets - Basically deep fried bananas and fun to eat. Service was good and they were attentive to refilling our water and keeping the course timely. It only slowed down at the end of our meal when there were a lot of diners.

    Food is EXCELLENT!!! Except for the fact that it's small, and you might need to sit right next to someone, and they don't have a full bar, are the only reasons that doesn't get a 5. But the drinks they had were great, the food was truly excellent, the service was warm & welcoming; and even though we may have needed to sit near people, it still didn't feel cramped or intrusive. Definitely a neighborhood gem, looking forward to going back!

    Usually it’s no so crowded or noisy at 5:30 but it was Restaurant Week. This is our favorite local restaurant with the lemon sole and steak frites our top two. We’ve been going there since 2016 and everything on the menu is excellent.

    Tiny and cute place with open kitchen. Both of our meals were quite good (fish, duck). Staff was trying but untrained e.g stack dirty plates at table, we had to ask for coffee after they served our dessert and wait staff kept wanting to top off our sparking water with tap water. We’d go back!

    This is one of our favorite go-to places. Cozy, the service is great, wine list is good, menu has good options. One issue is that the kitchen tends to overcook the meat and poultry. They did it with the duck breast. I had pork chop this most recent time, requested medium-rare and it was medium hence a bit dry. That said, the beans with the dish were delicious. Wife has salmon which was very tasty. The waiters and servers are great so we will return and hope the kitchen ups its game.

    I have eaten at this restaurant several times and the food is consistently delicious. However, the exhaust system is severely substandard, and it was hard to taste our meal due to the heavy cooking exhaust smell. Unfortunately my friends and I have decided that we will not return to this restaurant solely because of the lack of ventilation. It’s sad to say this as the food is delicious and it’s a wonderful spot for a midweek meal.

    Went for a birthday dinner with my wife. We had an early reservation so it wasn’t crowded. Hadn’t been here since before the pandemic and wondered if it would be as good as we remembered. Thankfully it was. We had the Lyonnaise Salad and Mushroom Ravioli as apps. Both were very good. I had the Steak Frites and my wife had Sole. The chef there obviously knows how to cook. Excellent. I’m not a dessert person usually but we split an apple tart that was delicious. And then the waiter brought out some Flan with a candle in it for my birthday. All in all it was an enjoyable dinner. The prices were also very reasonable. We’ll be back.
