The students were friendly, and did a good job attending to the buffet and to us at our table. Negative: the biscuits for the biscuits and gravy were too hard, the scones were too salty, the parfait needed more yogurt. Positives I enjoyed all the other choices and my omelet was the best I have ever eaten in a restaurant and better than what I make at home.

Great to find interesting fine cuisine in Decatur! Also enjoyed the obvious pride and enthusiasm of our wait person. I had the pork belly with caramelized sweet potatoes and pickled red onions over a creamy labneh sauce. It was all delicious. The pink guava gelato was also good (I would just have left off the hard candy sprinkles). In short— an excellent dining experience.

This was a great eating experience! The food was top notch, the service impeccable, and the overall vibe was of a high end restaurant. When we were leaving the parking lot, a man in a chef hat came running out to give my husband his nitro that he had dropped. First class!! Can't wait to come back next year!

Everything about our experience was excellent. Whenever I have friends or family come to town I try to take them to eat here because it has always been an exceptional experience. I have to say that I am always especially happy to see the care and attention to details given the students/servers. Having worked my way through college as a waitress, I am always aware of the level of knowledge and training possessed by the wait staff. What an exciting way to begin a career in good service!

All of the students/ employees wrote their masks correctly. The young lady who took us to our table was pleasant without being fake. She also efficiently covered the front of the house during the entire service, providing assistance to the server and making sure tables were cleared. The young man who served us was a delight. He allowed us plenty of time to make our choices while making sure we had something to drink. He was knowledgeable about the menu options and answered our questions without being condescending. I especially appreciated his assistance when it came time to pay. I am used to paying only in cash but chose credit this time. I was confused a little by the process and he patiently took me through it step by step. Every dish we had was delicious and satisfying to all of our senses. The soup alone would have been reason to try this restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and plan to come again.

I absolutely love the Bistro! The food is always prepared thoughtfully and they offer a creative menu. You should definitely order an appetizer and dessert—-they are always great and reasonably priced. This is an “experience “ restaurant so don’t expect a quick in and out. Sit back, enjoy the atmosphere and eat an amazing meal.

What I love about the Bistro is that it is quiet and private. Even when tables are seated near one another. Must be the acoustics. Anyway, that makes it a restful atmosphere and I come away feeling refreshed as well as nourished. Take that to your media guru!

This was one of the gems of Decatur. It has jumped to the top of our "go-to" places. The food and service were impeccable. You can tell the passion the staff has for not just the food, but the entire experience. We tried the calamari, salad, duck, sticky pudding, and creme brulee. We would have all of them again. To be honest, the only suggestion I would have is to cook the carrots a tad bit more. The thicker ones were tough to cut with the table knife, but they tasted great!

This was one of the best times I have ever spent at the Bistro. The food was exceptional and the service superb. I liked that they were able to be flexible and allow me to customize my order. I liked that my server asked for my feedback while I was there. I liked that my server asked if I wanted a drink refill. I liked that even though it was not busy, I never felt that the staff was frustrated. Everyone was very cheerful and helpful - that is not always easy.

Our service was excellent, and the food tasted amazing! And the presentation was wonderful! Improvement - - the only thing I would suggest is that the students need to learn how to cook a steak so that it is done the way the customer ordered. I ordered my rib-eye Medium, and it came back pretty much Medium Rare, and actually Rare in a large part of it. I don't mind that because I have eaten steaks that way before, but another customer might not appreciate it. And even thought it was not cooked the way I ordered, the flavor of the steak was fantastic!

Unique flavors, excellent service, a great hidden gem in our town. Carrot hummus and pistachio salmon were perfection. When I didn’t finish all of the hummus, the waiter gave me a to go container and sent me home with another 1/2 pita to enjoy later. ❤️ I’d probably pass on the birthday cake roulade next time (a little too bland for my sweet tooth.) Husband enjoyed the steak. Great job everyone!

Breakfast morning buffet-potatoes fine, bacon - not a fan - too black bacon - omlet burned and took long time to get a second- pancakes cold. Making pancakes one at a time and having warm would be better. Would like butter to be available for pancakes. I did not care for the type of bacon used. Interesting meal.

The dining experience was great. I wouldn’t change a thing. We did have an issue with the bill. There was an extra charge that we need to call and take care of.

The bread seemed old and the oil didn’t seem suited for that type bread. It was also cumbersome to pass. The carrots with the scallops were dry. On the positive side the meat choices were good.The lamb chops were delicious. The steaks were excellent. We enjoyed the appetizers and desserts. We enjoyed talking with the chef. Mykela was our server and was excellent. We celebrated my birthday and appreciated the complimentary dessert. We plan to come back with other friends.

Tomato soup was very tasty. Received potato wedges with lunch instead of my ordered side salad. Grilled ham and cheese sandwich was average compared to the delicious sloppy Joe I had a few weeks ago.

For the first time ever I was not 100% satisfied with the food. My pork loin was a little undercooked, the sweet potato was tough and fibrous inside but charred outside, and the rolls were hard, crumbly and literally had no flavor. But my stepmom's shrimp alfredo was delicious!

Good steaks. Suggestion -- many people, including diabetics -- need to curtail their carbohydrates. So I would have just one starchy vegetable and one GREEN vegetable in each meal.

I had the chicken salad and was very disappointed. Very dry and not much flavor, and not much of it. My friends really liked what they had. One had the taco, and the other had the vegatable sandwich. I hve been there for supper before and really enjoyed it. I will be back anf try something else.

I think it will be straight 10s next visit. You were extremely busy but everyone was hustling to keep up. Great food and drinks!

I would have given all 10s, but our bread was served almost as an afterthought, after we had almost finished our meal

Great service. Had to remind the person to bring us a wine cooler. Food was good but have had a bit better there before. Maybe just needed seasoning.

Overall we really enjoyed our lunch. The minor improvement I would suggest would be a little more dressing on the (side) salad. I don’t like a lot of dressing anyway… but I had to eat 1/2 my salad with no dressing because there was so little on it. I had the vegetarian tacos … the fried avocado was delicious! The cabbage salad was pretty bland. I would have preferred a slice of line with the tacos or a lime crema with enough lime that you could taste it. Other than that the meal was really good! The fries were delicious!

Salad was good but would have been better with more dressing. Tha pastry was chewy on the fried cheesecake. We'll be back.

Enjoyed it and the food was good, prices very good. The rice needed something to give it a little "kick" and moisture to hold it together. It also was not warm when it came to the table. The steak was excellent. The asparagus was good but it also was not warm. The Brie was very good. The bread pudding was not totally cooked. This sounds negative but it was a good experience and we enjoyed it. What we got for the price was great. Service was good but slightly slow at times. If possible it might be nice to have a little soft background music. We will be back.

I had the poutine. It was dry, and once I got home, I realized that I think they forgot me to get me the gravy (if it was supposed to come in a separate dish). No, I didn't complain. Service was a little slow. Our drinks were forgotten until meal time. All that said, I would come back.

Our server suggested the Brie bites The presentation was very nice but they were doughy and and Brie was cold. Not cooked long enough. We were disappointed. We ordered the fruit and southwest salads. They were good. We finished with the blue velvet cake. It was dry. Not much flavor.

I understand that this is a school so I didn’t want to be very critical as I want to encourage them to learn but one of the dishes we ordered just simply was not edible no taste at all. My meal was a filet mignon and it was perfect but the service was really slow which I also have compassion for given our current lack of employee situation I will try it again and I hope that next time it will be better. The desert was frozen and in their attempt to quickly thaw it out it was microwaved probably to the point where it was so dry and the inside was still frozen but I didn’t say anything because they gave it to us for free . I do appreciate the chef Not charging us.
