    Server (Olivia?) was lovely. Reservations were for noon and we were seated promptly. The restaurant was empty. Food was good and presentation was wonderful. I would like to return to try more of the menu.

    As always a lovely little bistro to dine in. Food alway delicious and service usually excellent. Unfortunately last night was an exception. We were celebrating a birthday and were attended to promptly by wait staff. Our drink order was taken and returned in a timely manner and at that time our dinner orders were taken. Our dinner orders took a very long time to arrive. Not their usual situation and by that time a refill on my wine was requested. That did not happen until we could catch the servers attention. I’m not sure if staffing was the problem or something in the kitchen but no explanation was given. We did leave a little disappointed with one of our favourite dining spots.

    Since this has changed hands I have noticed a decline in the quality of the food. The acorn squash on my last visit was undercooked and the combination of ingredients was off. This time I tried a “not on the menu” grilled cheese with bacon. Terrible. Bread was hardly grilled, bacon and cheese not a winning combination. Frites were awful. Considering we were the first customers of the day I expected fresher and better quality of ingredients. Sadly that will likely be my last trip….

    It was just a fabulous experience. We were a group of 8 ladies. We thoroughly relished the food and ambience and service all were a 20. Can't wait to go back again.

    "Plains Rd Bistro is a hidden gem on the local food scene! The mussels are fresh and flavourful, the main course of squash is beautifully prepared and comforting, and the in-house-made desserts are a must-try. Cozy vibe and top-notch service make it a go-to spot!
