   Food was great! Atmosphere was a bit rough, from the table you could see spray foam insulation protruding from the walls. Also, the rock siding was falling off the exterior in several places. The exterior doors did not have closers on them so they would either fly open and stay open before a wait staff would shut them or they would open up behind customers entering. There was not any salt or pepper on the tables and was not offered by wait staff.

   The food here is exceptional. Creativity to the max. The prices are less than any high end restaurant in our area. What they do as a non-profit for our community is icing on the cake.

   We have visited the Bistro several times since their opening and we have never been disappointed. Their menu is constantly changing and it is so neat to have the opportunity to experience different food presentations. The Lebanon area is fortunate to have the Bistro.

   Upscale dining in a small town. Food was delicious, service was outstanding. Love the mission, all proceeds go to fund the Lebanon Community Farm that provides quality fresh produce to people in need.

    Amazing experience! We loved the atmosphere, loved the food and felt so welcome by the greeters! Highly recommend the blackened snapper! And the flourless chocolate cake! It was very welcoming and elegant in every part of the building including the bathroom!

    The quality of the service and food was outstanding. High marks for the concept of providing upscale dining as a means to support a sustainable farm to table community food Bank. The atmosphere is open and comfortable. I would highly recommend The Bistro.

    Made reservations two weeks in advance for their ‘valentines dinner’, 3 course meal event. I am so glad we did, because they sold out and people without reservations were turned away. Shortly after arriving, it was obvious why they are in high demand. The atmosphere, service, and food are absolutely amazing. This is the best kept secret in Lebanon, MO! I am already excited for our next visit, and plan on trying everything on their menu over time.

    The Bistro is a charming establishment not far from the City of Lebanon, out away from all the hussle and bustle of a small city. It was warm and inviting from the moment we walked in. We were there on a Sunday for the brunch, and we had a difficult time deciding what to order. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and appealing. We settled on the Migas for me and Biscuits & Gravy for my husband. Before you roll your eyes, these are not the “diner usual” biscuits and gravy. This recipe has been amped up. We enjoyed chatting with the staff and didn’t feel rushed at all. It was a very relaxing delicious dining experience. We highly recommend the brunch. We made reservations to come back in a couple of weeks to experience the evening dining options.

    High end dining right here in Lebanon! I’ve never eaten better food. Though it’s a bit pricey, it’s worth the quality and quantity of food you receive. Our server was excellent, very aware of our needs throughout the dinner. Couldn’t be happier!!

    Food was outstanding, drinks were good as well, but service offered a refund even for unsatisfactory ones. The prices were on the higher end but for a nice night out, couldn’t expect different. The only downside was the temperature, it was excessively cold in the seating area.

    Food was great. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks and a little longer for a glass of wine. Too long. Need more heat. It was high 20s outside and we had to keep our jackets on to be comfortable. Didn’t help that the main door opens directly onto the first table, with no wind barrier, blasting them every time it opened. I felt bad for those people. The food was great. We had tapas, almost one of each on their menu, and all of them were tasty.

    It was freezing! Ask twice for the heat to be turned up, not very fun eating with your coat on. There were Christmas lights on one side of the hall but they were not turned on. Two of the party ordered the steak and it was tough, one ordered the pork loin and it was very chewy. The pork shank was the only tender piece of meat we had. In this area it is unheard of not being able to get sweet tea! Really how hard is it to make sweet tea! Was very disappointed and had invited friends that drove two hours to go with us!

    This was our first visit. We were seated in the small dining room and I cannot commend the staff enough for a more caring, inviting attitude despite having a completely full main room. The appetizers, Baked Brie, and the Charcuterie Board was very well presented and had very generous portions. Our entrees, the Pork Tenderloin and Spaghetti with Bolognaise were both excellent, and to be honest, they came home as leftovers because we were pretty full from the appetizers. The evening was perfect, friendly staff, outstanding food, presented beautifully, and a great wine selection.
