   Too bad this place is closing down! It's such a nice alternative to most of the RO restaurant scene with dining rooms that are way too noisy for an intimate evening with your significant other or close friends. Change your mind and stay!

    Adieu Bistro 82. Closing before the end of January, if you love this place, get in one last creative meal. Our borscht was excellent. So was our goat cheese salad. Not the fan of Char that I hoped we’d be. First taste of Char. Still it was good and the accompaniments were quite tasty. We’ll miss Bistro 82. Royal Oak’s best restaurant.

    We were enjoy the last few services for this wonderful place in Royal Oak. Bistro 82 will be closing after their last service on 1-25. I had to get my last taste of the French onion soup dumplings, that of course was delicious. Smaller menu than they normally had, chose their top favorites to end with. Still a great wine list, some great bottles but a little pricey. The glass of Duckhorn was delicious and paired well with the dumplings. Overall, will miss this fine dining location. The Morrie, the owners are the same for Bistro 82, need to add the dumplings to the Morrie menu. Service was great. Will miss this Gem in Royal Oak!

    My wife birthday and the food was great, the only thing was that it took about 35 minutes before the main dish was served. the appetizers came relatively fast then a long pause. Not sure what caused the delay but other than that we very much enjoyed the meal.

    The service was great and the food excellent. Our fillet mignon was cooked and seasoned to perfection and we were pleasantly surprised to see escargot on the menu. The escargot was also delicious, but would be brightened up a bit if served with lemon wedges to to cut the richness. All the dishes were served piping hot which we enjoyed. I would definitely recommend Bistro 82 for an enjoyable dinning experience.

    We ordered orange cauliflower and french onion dumpling soup as appetizers, being told that the latter was their most popular appetizer option. The cauliflower is prepared exactly like a Chinese restaurant's "orange chicken:" battered and deep fried, in a slightly spicy and very sweet sauce, quite good. The "soup" is NOT soup, but a series of 7 small onion-flour dumplings in soup broth, each one in a separate well of a specially designed plate, then covered in an inch of mozzarella cheese which is browned like the soup would be. The overall effect of the two appetizers was huge fat and calories, with flavors/mouthfeel coming from flour, oil and sugar rather than quality ingredients prepared innovatively. Our mains were more successful. One of us (age 14) got the cheeseburger and fries, with which he was very happy. The 2 adults shared the maple-glazed salmon (our hands-down favorite) and the mushroom pappardelle, which we deemed too salty but otherwise well prepared, with a variety of fresh vegetables and nicely al-dente pasta. The salmon was perfect - top broiled, inside just shy of fully cooked through, with a fabulously sweet-and-savory glaze. The turnip/apple-brussel sprout combo was an excellent accompaniment, roasted to caramelized brown goodness.

    We always enjoy dinner at Bistro 82. This time we tried the Bouillabaisse and liked it. We ordered a side of the Epi bread, which is always good, a salad, and a side of broccolini. I felt the menu was a bit pared down this time, but restaurants do change their menus quite frequently.

    Outstanding French food, We had NY Strip and Frites, Sea Scallops, and Seafood Bouillabaisse. The Scallops and Bouillabaisse, were spectacular. The scallops might have been the best I have ever tasted in my life and that says a lot! The Steak and Frites were also excellent. For Appetizers we had the EPI bread orange cauliflower and a side of Ratatouille with our entrees. The orange cauliflower blew me away. The bread and ratatouille were good too. The wine was good but not spectacular, I have better for less money. They seemed to favor a cellar of expensive wines suited to a very refined palate. I'm a wine enthusiast but I find plenty of great wines at reasonable prices and many top restaurants offer price range variety. I thought their selection was not as expansive as one might hope from a high end French restaurant, and their selection of wines by the glass was also quite modest. For dessert we shared the chocolate tarte with peanut butter ice cream and it was sublime. I enjoyed the experience overall and will be back.
