      My entree was not warm enough, but it was very tasty. Lulu had us reach for the water we ordered on the tray. Usually the server sets the water on the table so this was different. The

      From start to finish, my experience at LBCC Bistro was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious — you could taste the care and skill in every bite. The host was exceptional, checking in several times throughout the meal without being intrusive. I really appreciated the level of professionalism: I was always asked if I was finished before anything was removed from my table, which shows great attention to detail and respect. Every staff member contributed to a smooth and pleasant dining atmosphere. I would rate the entire experience a perfect 10.

      Waiter took order and never came back. Busser took silver ware after appetizer but never brought replacements. No drinks ever served after ordering. Asked for more water none ever came. Chicken was gray colored and pasta dry. Disappointing.

      I followed Apple Maps and parked further away, as the bistro is actually at the other side of the street. I was early and paid meter parking already, so the walk was not bad. Please check where the bistro is with Google maps if you don’t know where it is already. The food was pretty good and at great value, the environment was quite nice. Though I wished for some fresh cracked pepper or salt maybe. The server that first helped me with my order did not get what I said correctly at first, but if was corrected when he re-verified the order. They forgot to charge me for iced tea, I told that they forgot to charge me, and it was corrected. All in all, good experience.

      The menu designated for the time I went had really poor choice of ingredients. Very bad choice of dish as well as the fact the food was pretty tasteless.

      The food at the LBCC Bistro is always Outstanding. The service is exceptional and the plating is spot on. I am always amazed that everything is prepared by culinary arts students. Everything looks and tastes like it came from a fine dining restaurant. Kudos to the instructors and students. I will definitely be back.
