  We love Bistro!  The staff is awesome!  Whether for brunch or dinner we are never disappointed.  Today we shared the French Toast meal with fruit for our dessert.  Spectacular!

  I went here for on a nice occasion because everyone always raves about it. Well sorry to say, the food is good but not worth the hype or the price. I ordered the salmon and the other person in my party ordered the steak. The steak was apparently let to sit for too long and the salmon (again it was good) just didn't seem fresh and I feel like I could have made the same thing at home. On top of that I felt like I was on top of other people and could hear each other's conversations.
  
  I just don't get the hype other than the fact that there aren't really a lot of upscale (French??) restaurants in this area or what. I would rather go somewhere else that is cheaper and where I can have some room and can talk trash about people without getting a raised eyebrow.

  I went with friends  and enjoyed the whole experience but for an upscale place you'd expect better mannered service. After our lovely meal the server came to question the 20% tip our friend gave, out loud at our table in front of the other two surrounding  tables. Quite an embarrassing/Rude experience to say the least and le a bad taste in our mouth when leaving, not sure if we'll be coming again after that.

  Great food and service. I've been dying to stop and visit this restaurant and finally made the visit for my birthday. The service was excellent and everyone's food was perfect. They had a 3 course option for $45 and it was a really good deal. I highly recommend the lobster bisque as your appetizer, the beef stew as your main, and the creme brûlée as your desert. The bisque was warm and rich with creme fresh and table side pouring of the soup. The beef stew was tender with a wonderful sauce. The creme brûlée has fresh fruit and a custard to die for.
  
  The service was impeccable and a glass was never empty and plates never sat empty on the table. There was a mistake on one of the soups: he asked for no scallions as garnish, but one was brought out, and by the time he was removing the second scallion from the creme fresh, the server had asked to take the bowl and brought back a fresh scallion free plate in about 2 minutes! Such a refreshing thing to see!
  
  There was a mandatory coat check to keep the ambiance regulated, which added  just another level of beauty to the evening. The interior is very romantic and would be a great place for a date or any other type of evening.

  Very good! Intimate atmosphere.
  I've always seen this place having the best ratings on yelp in Woodbridge, and my bf took us here for our anniversary.
  
  We got a table in the corner and they were quite busy on a Friday night.
  
  I got an Old Fashioned, probably the best Old Fashioned I've ever had!
  
  For dinner I got the Boeuf Bourguignon. When it came out I thought it was a small portion and I was still going to be hungry.... I was wrong. Very rich and full of flavor!
  
  We got dessert as well. The creme brûlée and the waiter also brought us the chocolate mousse because it was our anniversary!
