    My wife an I visited the Bistro for dinner on July 3rd. The Bistro was relatively busy, but we were seated quickly and our server also quickly appeared. As a starter, I had the onion soup, which was outstanding. My wife had the caprese salad, which she said was very good. Then we both had the petite fillet mignon. That was really, really good. The steak was expertly cooked, the mashed potatoes were wonderfully creamy, and the zucchini was tender crisp. For dessert, I had the mixed berry Napoleon, which was okay. But my wife's Peaches & Cream Frozen Soufflé was outstanding and I highly recommend you order it. The service was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. The only small problem is noise. There were families with small children in the restaurant and their children were very noisy (a lot of screaming kids...ARGH!), but other than that a great experience and we can highly recommend the restaurant.

    From start to finish, our dining experience was excellent plus. Bobby is an attentive server and makes guests feel special. The lamb shank and pea risotto and trout were artfully prepared and presented as was the mousse. Highly recommend the Bistro.

    Food quality was excellent. We always love the steaks and their creme brulee, but we tried a special half chicken and goat milk cheesecake on this visit. The execution of both was top notch. The service, as always, was excellent. Highly recommend
