Service was spotty as in the case of a lot of restaurants. They were short handed on our visit but did apologize and did their best. The noise level on our visit was loud but I don't think this is always the case. The food was excellent with the exception of the deviled egg appetizer. I would definitely visit again.

When we first got to the restaurant we were not greeted by anyone and had to awkwardly stand around and wait for a little bit. This was our first time there, I expressed that to our waiter eho seemed to less than interested in serving us compared to the table next to us that ordered many alcoholic beverages. Jeff, our waiter, also mentioned no specials to us and did not come by to ask how our food was. Food came out great, we had asked for it to go boxed. They had ran out of boxes therefor mine was spilled inside of a lid with foil wrapped around, in which the food spilled all out of the container inside the bag. At this point I really wanted to like the place but unfortunately, I will not be returning again for a long time. Not happy with the service and the food was just a l too overpriced.

We picked this restaurant for our Anniversary without viewing any reviews. It was like trowing darts at a dart board. When we pulled into the parking lot we were worried since there was only one car parked. It was for a 5:30 reservation. We were treated to one the most enjoyable meals we have ever eaten at a restaurant.The owner Marcello greeted us when we arrived and thanked us when we left. It was just a slow night when it usually has more dinners. The presentation of the meals was artfully presented and delicious! We shall return in the future.

Excellent customer service. Entire staff was friendly and engaging. Patio was great. It was perfect weather and we could hear the live music from Gibbs next door. Filet was outstanding and perfectly cooked as well as the scallops and lobster grits. Lobster tail was a little over cooked and the ribeye was huge but but not as tender as it should have been and slightly over cooked. Overall great experience and good size portions. A little pricey but good for a special occasion

Absolutely charming restaurant… it reminded me of the cozy restaurants in Carmel California… Great atmosphere… plus the availability of outdoor dining is a huge plus… our outdoor dining season is so short here in Ohio… I always try to take advantage of something like that when I can. We will definitely go again.

Dropped family off at Hopkins and had a solo dinner that was a blast with the team at the Bistro. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Food program is solid. Had an amazingly moist and flavorful pork chop and well-balanced lobster bisque. Seems like beverage program is evolving based on an overly oxidized glass of red wine and no specialty coffee machine. Pricing is reasonable, good value to me. Nino is a riot, thank you for entertaining me.
