    Great food in a beautiful setting. There was only one waiter which meant he was stretched too thin. We had to wait for him during the meal but actually that was ok cuz we were enjoying our time there. The owner should get some more help.

    Enjoyed the meal very much. But it was quite loud and the rack of lamb was tiny. Especially for the cost.

    Always excellent food at The Bistro in Rancho Santa Fe. However, Nick the waiter is very rude and impatient.

    Have eaten here several times. Food is consistent, but not a great value for the price. The waiter this round had a snarky attitude, forgot to bring requested bread, and served the bread and bottle of wine at the same time as our entrees (ie, late). The manager had left with the key for the wine locker so we had to choose a different bottle that was "on the shelf". $250 for three people including two entrees, one entree salad, bread (they charge $2 per person for a not so fresh roll), a piece of apple pie, and $60 for a bottle of wine that costs $15 at the grocery store. Not sure we'll be back. Two in our party ordered salmon - on person was served a nice, thick, center cut, and the other got the "end piece" - thin and on the dryer side. The best part has always been the lovely patio setting.

    We had a great dinner here last night. It was super busy and only one server, but he was working his booty off. Took a little longer than normal because it was busy, but it was excellent.
