After a perfect proposal on the beach at sunset, I made prior reservations for a great dinner spot that could put the cherry on top of a dream night for me and my lady. Bistro was a top choice due to their reputation at the time and boy was I glad I listened to that reputation. Starting off the atmosphere was nothing short of a dream. A quiet, calming, and exclusive feel is exactly what I was looking for and they ticked every box. We were greeted with a warm welcome from JJ, who I later learned was the queen of this establishment. She made us feel right at home. After seating we were quickly taken care of by our AMAZING server Trin. She made the night feel so exclusive, like we were the only people in the whole place, and she helped me a ton with her favorite recommendations for dishes to pick and she helped us capture the night by asking if we wanted photos! Moving into the food, I went with the special of the night, the sturgeon, which had been locally sourced from Coos Bay just that prior Thursday! It was absolutely melt in your mouth good, the texture reminded me of a wagyu ribeye, and the taste was similar to that of a steak as well, and you could tell how fresh it really was. My now fiancé got the linguine and again, you could REALLY tell how fresh it was, and that they live up to the handmade quality they claim. We finished off the late night with some of the orange cream cheesecake which was heavenly. We didn’t feel rushed or made to feel like the staff had somewhere to be even though we were the last table of the night. After we finally finished it all, Trin gave us our final heartwarming surprise of the night by covering our dessert! We couldn’t have asked for a better meal and service. The night was topped off with a high note when the chef himself, Jack, and his wife JJ, the lead hostess, had a long conversation with us about their story and how to Bistro came to be, along with some advice for a newly engaged couple. This entire establishment deserves the utmost respect, praise, and recognition for being dare I say the top food option on the entire trip up US 101. If you’re in Cannon Beach, and can manage to call early enough to get a reservation, consider yourself in for the night of your life. THANK YOU BISTRO STAFF!
