For a byob, it’s quite pricey. One meal was too salty and tough (chicken), the others were great. Passing on the credit card surcharge to us is ridiculous. The service and atmosphere are excellent.

Deliciously prepared food, wonderful service, good value. There was live entertainment which was enjoyable if not a bit loud, but there was an alternative room to be seated. We’ll be back!

Food was okay, just not superior. Ambience is definitely dated, in need of a major decorating update. Lots of kinda creepy pink flowers hanging all around. Tray of desserts presented at end of meal is totally unappealing as they are all frozen solid (so they resemble moldy pieces of cheese). Better to see the actual freshly made dessert! Finally, bill is presented with no credit card surcharge but when you pay with your credit card, a surcharge is added. Thought this needed to be stated on the original bill? When brought to server’s attention, was told there’s a sign at the front of the restaurant stating the surcharge. No thanks, not my kinda place.

Food is delicious! Steak and salmon is amazing 😋 The band was great too! Stephanie, the manager/server, is the best! She is always so professional and personable, which is a hard combination to find these days. Kudos and accolades to this place.!!

Have not been here in a very long time, but will be returning sooner next time. Food was good, but portions were very small for the prices. Service was good, but we specifically asked our waitress not to bring out main courses out too fast after appies and they came out super fast. Next time we won't order main courses until after we are done with appies.

They really need to consider bringing in bread for the table from outside (maybe Anthony and Son’s). They seem to make their own bread which is consistently not good. Otherwise we like the food and atmosphere. Please change your table bread.

Even though this restaurant is in a strip mall off of a highway, the noise level is very low. We have been here many times. The food is always good, no matter what we have ordered. It is a BYOB, so that's a savings, the servers are attentive, and the atmosphere is lovely.

Decorated for the upcoming Valentine’s holiday, we loved the ambiance. We were given our choice of seating which was great and chose to sit towards the back and away from the front windows as it was a very cold day and we were concerned there might be a draft. Server was friendly and menu was extensive, a little something for everyone. I was dining with my two elderly parents and they were taken back by the prices but as someone who dines out often, they are reasonable! Food was fresh, served piping hot and we weren’t rushed or bothered so we took our time. We were too full for dessert. I’ll definitely come back and need to remember this hidden neighborhood gem when looking for a local night out.

The food is always great it’s got a lovely atmosphere the waiters and waitresses always pleasant and it’s good value for the money. We were a large crowd for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and I got rave reviews from all of my friends who attended. They complimented me on my choice of restaurants and they had a great time they said.

We recently dined at the Corner Bistro to celebrate birthdays and had a wonderful time. The food was great, the service was fantastic and we really enjoyed ourselves. We were there on a Sunday for dinner and it was very quiet. We relaxed and were not rushed at all. I would highly recommend this place.

We love their outdoor dining area, it is comfortable and far enough from Route 10 to not interfere with normal conversation. The service is excellent. Our server was pleasant and even moved an umbrella to the ground because he saw that the setting sun was in my eyes. We both had the Harvest salad to start. It was delicious. It really was big enough for a meal for me. My husband had the Almond Sole and I had the chicken florentine. My dinner was so big that I had it for an entire dinner the next night. Both dishes were very good.We both thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at The Corner Bistro. They have a limited wine menu, but you can bring your own. We never get dessert, so I can’t offer a review on that. We highly recommend The Corner Bistro!

Hello Nathalie, what a nice review and great feedback! Thank you so much for taking your time to do this. We highly appreciate you as a customer and will always strive to keep all of you happy with delicious food and outstanding service. Our outdoors dinning is a big asset to our restaurant especially after Covid, for winter season it is closed but indoor dinning is fantastic as well, cozy and intimate environment for a great experience. Hope to see you soon!
