    Delicious meal, great service. Small venue so when it is busy (both times I have been there) it can get a little noisy.

    Overall I was impressed with the meal it was excellent. What I did not like is that the offered a side with your mean and included Fries, sweet potato fries, salad or Caesar salad. We were not informed that the sweet potato fries were an additional $6! Not impressed and for that reason alone will not go back.

    Thank You for for your review. It clearly states on the menu as well as on our website the upcharge for sweet potato fries is $6 . All entrees come with house salad or fresh cut fries. Caesar salad and soup of the day as well as sweet potato fries are a upcharge. I am not aware of any restaurant that does not charge extra for these upgrades

    Always have the best meal at Downtown Bistro. The service is very good and they remembered we were celebrating a birthday. Dinner was very fresh and served hot. The restaurant is small and thus the noise level is loud at times. There was one party with several guest this particular night so it was overly loud. Still love the food!!
