    A lovely night! Even though there was more than one large (young) party for a high school homecoming, the staff, drinks and food were wonderful. The kitchen staff felt that the the time it took to provide our food (particularly the appetizer) was unreasonably slow for our party of 4 (because of the large home coming group) so management offered some ways of saying “thanks” for our patience. I really didn’t think the food was that slow for a busy Friday night, but was thankful for the offer. Plus, the company at our table was lovely which meant that we enjoyed the extra time for conversation — and the noise level was low enough for easy conversation. I definitely encourage others to try Piedmont Bistro for everything from “just because” to “special occasion.”

    We asked to be seated outside and were graciously accommodated. Our server was attentive but not obtrusive. She reacted very nicely when one member of our party said his risotto was over-salted and offered to bring him whatever he wanted. He asked for a salad and she complied. It was a beautiful evening to sit outside and enjoy.

    If you’re looking for a quick Sunday brunch with decent food, then this is the place. If you want a longer, more relaxing experience, look elsewhere. We were in and out in 33 minutes—very fast, especially since we’d noted in our reservation that we were coming for our anniversary.

    I thought this would be a bit more upscale. Looking forward to a quiet meal, the place was not what I expected. Spouse ordered no salt on his meal and the steak was salty and fries were salted. Because if a health condition he could eat it. My vegetarian pasta dish was average. Again heavily salted. Daughter’s chicken looked a touch dry. Prices were high considering you did not even get a salad or bread without paying extra. Will not visit again.

    Usually Piedmont Bistro is excellent for food and service but my medium rare burger was way overcooked and dry. We felt like the waitress, who did a nice job, was trying to rush us out. The check was at the table before we finished eating and she kept coming back to see if it was ready to be picked up, even though the credit card was not sticking out. First time I've been disappointed eating there.

    Reserved a table for 3 to my favorite Lincoln Bistro. I live in Omaha and my wife and I were taking my Granddaughter for a quick outing at the start of her senior year at UNL. We had an excellent waitress and Claire was attentive and made excellent recommendations for our brunch. Maybe my 5th time at Piedmont Bistro and always the best. Jim Sullivan

    Four of us for dinner last evening, and all four of us were pleased from start to finish. Two salmon salad niçoise, one risotto, one salmon main, everything cooked perfectly. Not too noisy, good service, we were happy with the evening's meal. Hadn't been as satisfied the previous time we were into Piedmont Bistro, so this was encouraging.

    One of only two restaurants we’ll dine while in Lincoln, and consider Piedmont Bistro to be best. I had Bison Burger, which was made special, upon my request, on rye bread and the chefs grilled and prepared perfectly! My two friends enjoyed omelets from beet fries from the Saturday brunch menu and both enjoyed!

    We had an off-hour reservation, so that influenced things, possibly. The staff seemed indifferent to us being there, almost as if we were a bother. Non-friendly greeting and very slow to begin taking our order. The food was OK, except for some veggies I had which were very oily and just weird. When the check arrived the server just tossed it on the table without comment and walked away. I would not make it a point to return to the Piedmont Bistro. I'm glad I was there on a gift-card. I would recommend it, though, just to see what someone else might have to say. My experience may have been just "one of those things." The appetizer chips were pretty good. Overall, just OK, but nothing special.
