Bistro 1528 at Encanterra

Our excellent waiter Mark made all 18 of our ladies very happy for hours. The private vault room was perfect for our large group!!

Outstanding as usual. Our Servers Jen, Thai and Marc are all so great! They always come by to check on us or just to say hello! Awesome team. We were very upset to hear Eric the F&B Director left. He was wonderful to speak to because he LISTENED! He really was a positive for F&B.

Bistro 1528 was energized. Very busy. However, the service (Ben, our waiter, and the staff) was great! Ben was very personable and informative and had great suggestions and responses to our questions. Since we winter in Encanterra we plan on a dining at Bistro 1528 a couple of times each month and introducing our friends, relatives and guests to some very fine dining at a reasonable cost. The food was delicious and the menu outstanding! In fact, we are entertaining a friend tomorrow and will have lunch at Bistro 1528. And we will look to have Ben as our waiter. He was great!

We were very disappointed with our dinner at Bistro this time. The background music was very loud and there were so many people we couldn’t even carry on a conversation it was so noisy. Our waitress forgot some of the drinks and did not come back to the table very often, for which she apologized. We brought friends this time because we were so happy with the Bistro in the past. It will definitely be a while before we go back.

We tried the new brunch buffet for $15 which includes an omelette station and many other choices. The $15 includes coffee or juice and you can upgrade to a mimosa for another $3. The food as always excellent and the price a bargain for what you get. The view from the restaurant is awesome.

Having eaten there three times I have had to wait, on average, 45 minutes from the time of ordering until my meal finally arrives!

Exceptional service. Excellent meal. Highly recommend.

We are not members of the Encanterra community but have dined at 1528 Bistro several times. The food is always good, presented well, and the service is friendly and efficient.

Our waiter was personable, efficient and knowledgeable of all dishes and preparations. The food was delicious and beautifully presented and the facility was very comfortable and well appointed. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be back on our next trip to Arizona.

Very interesting menu items, great taste and excellent service. Also helps that it is right in our neighborhood

The food was excellent. Food service was very slow.

The ambiance was very nice
Acoustics could use some improvements
Service was outstanding, very friendly and attentive
We brought guests and we all felt very attended to and welcome even though we are not members and that was very important
Thank you

Always a good place with good ambiente and delicious food.

Nice job by Ben. The booths on the side tend to be quieter which helps conversation. Really like the Salmon in Papillote and the create your own (protein and sides). Chef did a good job keeping my salmon medium rare. Finally, good follow up to my special request for a bottle of Prosecco to be at the table when we arrived to celebrate our anniversary. Thanks to all for a very good experience.

Had soso bucólico which was done very nicely. Nice service.

Exceptional food. Excellent service. Highly recommend.

The hostess sat us in a cove with several other tables making the noise level high (there were children at one of the tables). I ordered a chicken bread dinner and received half of a chicken breast. It took at least 15 minutes to get our drinks. Salads came out first and two minutes later, the dinner.

Excellent value for food and wine. Delicious with a great atmosphere.

Excellent food & great service. Highly recommend!

I recommend it with a caveat that it used to be much better. Dinner was good instead of great. Wine was good. The biggest problem is they've changed the Butter Cake dessert. It used to be so good you would want to make the drive out just for the Butter Cake. Cost is just about prohibitive. We're debating on whether we go again in the future.

Ben did a fantastic job as server. Food was a little slow out of kitchen, but was excellent. They were out of Talisker Scotch?

Excellent food and service. Always enjoy the Friday night pasta bar

Excellent food and excellent service. I highly recommend.

Love the new menu items. A few glitches with service, although I think the server was pretty new. Nothing horrible. Our friends had a good time as well.

Encanterra is getting better and better. Our meal was the BEST we've had yet! Service was really fantastic as well! This is our favorite restaurant in San Tan Valley and it's perfect when you want a nice meal, without driving all the way to Chandler or Phoenix. We had the filet and the hummus board. FANTASTIC!

Beautiful setting. Omelet Buffet menu only unless you want a lunch item for brunch. Hopefully there will be a return of a breakfast menu in the near future besides omelet buffet. Servers are all fairly new but polite and professional.

We always enjoy our evenings at the Bistro 1528 especially when we can sit on the patio overlooking the golf course. Shout out to Ben our server! He is so attentive, friendly and does an outstanding job!

EXCELLENT! Patio👍🏻Bar👍🏻Service 👍🏻

Friday night’s pasta dinner is just one of the many ways to enjoy good dinner, very helpful staff and beautiful views.

The food was excellent. New menu items are great. Service was exceptional. Highly recommend.

We were celebrating a birthday and the staff knew it but did not offer anything to the birthday person except a Happy Birthday greeting.
Everything else was great!

Food & service were exceptional. I highly recommend!

Excellent service from Ty!! Great food. Brussels Sprouts the best.

Chef Seer and his team did an outstanding job on the Restaurant Week menu. Every course was delish! Our waiter, Ty, was terrific, as usual. A wonderful evening. Can’t wait for the remodel!

Loved the "tasting menu" with wine pairing. Chef Seer always comes through!

I dine at Bistro 1528 frequently during the winter months. On the dinner involving this review I had my wife, daughter and two grandkids (ages 1 and 3). I set a dinner reservation at 5:00PM in consideration of the young children. The food was good and the ambiance was exceptional; however, the pace was extremely slow. We did not get our dessert until after 8:00pm. The kids were well beyond restless so they left with my wife and daughter around 8:15pm. I stayed to cover the bill. By 8:30pm, I become frustrated with waiting and left the table to go to the front desk to square up. I think a 3.5 hour dinner is fine for adults who want to chat and savor a good wine over their meal, but we had small children. The waitstaff just did not seem sensitive to our needs. I can't say I won't eat there again as it is the only restaurant in our development - so of course I will. However, if other options were available, I would forego another night like this one at the Bistro 1528.

We went to Bistro 1528 for our anniversary this year and it was perfect!!!! The service was excellent, the food was beyond delicious, and the ambiance was beautiful. We can't wait to go back.

We sat outside and the evening was perfect. Food was absolutely delicious and our server Mark was great. We highly recommend.

Perfect season for outdoor dining. Friday night pasta bar is a great hit, along with beautiful expanded menu. Highly recommend early reservations if you want an outdoor table, as the Encanterra Bistro is becoming well known, and is popular with returning winter visitors and new residents.

Our dinner at Bistro 1528 was amazing, from the server who gave us great service, and the quality of the food we ordered.
We would definitely come back on our next trip to Mesa.
