    We’ve been there a few times. Yesterday for brunch. The omelet was superb. The potatoes were superb. We love the crispy bacon they usually serve. Brad loved his scrambled eggs, potatoes and bacon, which was good even though not as crispy as they usually serve. The only flaw.

    Food and service was very good. The noise level is a bit intolerable. Others who are having trouble hearing each other start speaking even louder until it seems like they are yelling to each other to be heard. Not a pleasant environment to have a intimate anniversary dinner with your wife.

    With friends, we were seated at in the bar area, which is quite nice. The four of us had the cavatappi, the seared salmon and the salmon nicoise. All the dishes were prepared very well and we had time to linger and enjoy the company. The drinks menu was well worth exploring.

    I had the cavatappi with chicken which was really good. My GF had the duck breast with rice which was unfortunately too salty. The kitchen setup was a bit odd. The expo line was very exposed with supplies and cleaning material. One table was also full of their to go stuff which seemed misplaced.

    We dined at Brunch time on a Saturday afternoon. The ambiance was great as were the hosts. Our server was okay but not the most attentive. Food was fine but a little salty (portion wise wonderful). I would try this place again but maybe on a weekday.

    First, we had an amazing wait staff. She was attentive funny reasonably but not too talkative helpful with the menu giving us suggestions as well as telling us that in 3 minutes half price appetizers would go back to regular price. She also brought me a club soda with lime and they had added a little lime juice which was outstanding not too much seemed like just enough. My wife also got the bottom of the wine bottle which means a little more than usual. We told her I was our anniversary and she offered a free dessert. Can't guarantee that all the wait staff was as nice.

    We had a lovely dinner. One member of our party had the night's special and declared it the best steak he'd had in ages...and he loved the scallops. My husband had the salmon with roasted carrots -- also loved his meal. And I had my favorite which is the Build your own Mac/Cheese, with shrimp. Wonderful. Lucy was the perfect server -- helpful but not hovering.

    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.
