I ate a breakfast, lunch and a dinner here and all the food was wonderful. The Bistro is totally about the food, the quality, and secondarily, the ambiance.
It seems that making a reservation is important, especially at busy times, for example weekends.
The room is large and accommodating with a nice outdoor patio area, where I ate the lunch. The breakfast and dinner were indoors.
Indoors, be aware of the seating. There are two basic types and the lower club chair types can be awkward in that they are too low for the table height. You'll feel like a child with your chin nearly at table height. A bit of an exaggeration, but it is awkward.
The menu is quite good with broad selections, yet keep in mind that it can get pricey, but not outrageous.
For breakfast I had the French Toast with a side of sausage and a coffee. The toast was delicious, light and well prepared, fluffy. It had berries on top and the maple syrup was high quality. The sausage were two large, plump pieces and a great accompaniment. It was quite a filling breakfast
At lunch I had the grilled chicken sandwich which was perfect in every way. The bun was just right and the chicken super tender, and the entire sandwich was very tasty. I got it with fries, again very well prepared; and a side salad. It hit the spot in every way.
Being in a bit of a rush the waiter was very understanding and accommodating, including bringing the bill early, when asked.
Dinner was wonderful. I started with a half dozen raw oysters. A bit on the small side for my preference, yet good. It came with two small containers on the side for a red sauce or a clear onion one. It was difficult in there was no small spoon or utensil to scoop the sauce on to the oysters.
I had the port chop for my entree and it was outstanding! Such a large piece of perfectly cooked pork, sliced beautifully, with a chutney type combo on top giving extra flavor.
It got washed down with a very nice, robust Malbec.
Finished the meal with a very nicely brewed coffee.
The head wait staff are professional and very capable, and helpful in understanding the menu.
The other staff, however, do need some extra training as they seem rather amateurish. The reception people seem unaware what to do, and others, like the person filling water glasses did so in a way that was so full it came to the brim, each and every time.
This is definitely a top notch restaurant and well worth the visit, especially for the quality of the food.
