    Nice business lunch here. Parking was difficult as the lot next door was under construction. We both ordered the salmon protein bowl - very good. They let us stay as long as we wanted.

    We ordered the brussels sprouts which were really good and also the eggs Benedict, which was very good - the focaccia bread made the dish! Service was excellent!

    I took my friend out for her birthday, hoping for wonderful food and wine. The server spilled some of the soup on my friend’s pants. The food was good, but not excellent. I was disappointed because I was hoping for a great dinner/birthday experience for her. The restaurant knew it was her birthday, I thought they’d at least bring a scoop of ice cream with a candle. Nothing. It will be a while before I go back. Sorry to say

    We (party of 4) had dinner at Backdoor Bistro on a Tuesday around 5:00, service was very attentive and friendly. They offered a fried chicken special which 3 of us ordered and my wife ordered the shrimp and pasta. We all enjoyed our meals immensely and the coffee cake that came with the chicken special was excellent. Wonderful place for a casual meal or special occasions. Noise levels can get loud if seated inside when crowded. One of our favorite restaurants!
