    Piedmont Bistro is a wonderful restaurant, both inside and out. We prefer the patio, weather permitting. Would love to see the salmon burger on the dinner menu (it is only available as a lunch special).

    Our biggest complaint was the noise level -- it is very difficult for 4 people to have a good conversation. Would I recommend it to a friend -- my answer is neither yes nor no -- but perhaps.

    Brunch here is always amazing, the front desk staff is super nice and does a great job accommodating the large amounts of people looking for tables. The waitstaff is always great with quick and polite service. The food is the standout here, all the mains are amazing but my favorite is the the Eggs Benedic. The sides are great as well and the food always comes out hot and exactly as ordered.

    It's been one of my favorite places to dine, but I've been disappointed since the 4% charge for credit card payments. I'm not aware of any other restaurants that have assessed this charge.

    Not ADA handicap friendly. Only one handicap parking stall with no sign except painted on the cement and a car was parked on top of it We had trouble getting to the door with a walker as a car was parked in front in front of the Only curb cut. Otherwise, the food and service was good.

    Maybe our expectations were too high based on our past dining experiences at the Bistro but everything was just average. Noise level continues to be too high for our comfort.

    Folks in our group had bruschetta, wedge salads, green goddess salads, mac & cheese. All were very tasty! I enjoyed the pama lemon vodka cocktail (blood orange, pomegranate, lemon) - light, slightly sweet & fruity.

    We came during a rush so it took us about 10 minutes to be seated after our reservation time which wasn’t a big deal.The wait staff was so nice and apologized many times for the delay and got us seated as soon as they could. The food came out fast and our waiter was very friendly and nice. The food was amazing and the eggs Benedict was the best I’ve ever had 10/10

    Excellent service and ambiance. Prices for lunch increasing dramatically. No longer have complimentary iced tea and soda. Open face salmon sandwich now $14. It was $10 when I first started ordering it. Salmon was a decent 4 oz and delicious. Asked for it on bed of greens and they were skimpy. Side of veggies too oily but tasted good. Friend had Grilled Chicken Caesar salad and that was plentiful. Filled her plate. She said dressing was really good and one of her favorites to order. My lunch with tax and 20% tip, no beverage just water was $18.88. Very steep for lunch with small piece of salmon, a couple of greens and tiny side of vegetables.

    We love it there, usually would put a 5, will be back. This time tho, much disappointment in change of Brussels sprout recipe:(. Salad and soup came behind entrees. But, thinking young server is probably new, and he was attentive and polite etc.
