The warm and inviting ambiance features a sleek, modern interior and a long marble bar, ideal for pre-dinner drinks. The menu tempts with dishes like escargot, goat cheese spring rolls, steak frites, and tuna crudo.

Chef Romo's dedication to French cuisine is evident in every dish, crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients and expert technique. The impressive wine list focuses on French varietals, and the cocktail menu includes craft cocktails, and mocktails.

The food was phenomenal. Wagyu steak was so delicious and perfectly seasoned. The Kristin (Bar Manager/Server) was so very cordial, efficient and knowledgeable. We learned so much and she could describe each item’s preparation. A must to visit!!

Our waitress was excellent T. She never gave us her name, but she was vivacious and had perfect serving skills and timing. We ordered six appetizers to start and share. The octopus was our favorite. The combination of grapefruit, pistachios, crepe fresh and golden beets was out of this world. The tuna crudo was ok, but the popcorn sprinkle left us non plussed. Likewise the escargo dumplings were a new twist, but not outstanding. The beef tare tare was rather flat, there were no flavors to recommend it. The roasted bone marrow was quite succulent. The scallops entree was superb. After ordering multiple octopus appetizers we had no room for dessert.

Food and service was excellent! Naked Fish was delicious I couldn’t wait to eat my leftovers the next day. Duck was cooked perfectly, Not a fan of the sauce but it’s just a matter of preference and not due to taste. Staff and service was awesome. We were checked in on several times to be sure we were happy with the food. Highly recommend Bistronomy. . We will be back

Excellent seafood menu with delicious wines served in timely manner. Wine sommelier was a bit too taken with her homework assignments providing little value added overall.

I was excited to be able to celebrate our actual 54th wedding anniversary at Bistronomy’s Mercy of the Chef event, a special 4 course meal and wine pairing that the restaurant does weekly. When making the reservation I did not realize I was booking a regular table, not the event meal. Imagine my disappointment when arriving and discovering my mistake. The restaurant manager and the chef made the effort to add us to the fully booked special meal . We had a regular table, but the chef and the wine coordinator made individual trips to our table to make sure we got the same treatment and experience as the other event guests. It felt so special. They could not have been more accommodating. The evening was as amazing as I had expected, and I felt I was treated with a special anniversary gift. I rave about the food at this restaurant anyway, but the treatment we received was beyond my expectations. Thank you Bistronomy!

Merci Anne! I am so glad we were able to get you in and are thrilled that you had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for celebrating your anniversary with us and for your compliments. I hope we can see you again soon!
