We went to Bistro Lepic & Wine Bar for Christmas Eve dinner. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The seared tuna salad was delicious. The poached lobster was overcooked and overpriced. We were disappointed their salmon wasn’t on the menu for Christmas Eve and didn’t know in advance the menu that night was a prix fixe one.

Absolutely loved the entire experience. Wonderful ambience, outstanding wine, escargot to die for, the salmon…light and flaky, with a potato crust and lemon beurre blanc sauce that was utterly out of this world. Cannot wait to return!

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Cynthia last night! From the moment we walked in, the people working there were so kind, even offering us a free class of sparkling wine for our anniversary. We tried several cocktails and enjoyed all of them very much. We ate the bruschetta, steak frittes, and both desserts. Everything was great, and the red chimichurri sauce on the steak really caught our attention! We had a lovely meal, and we would definitely return again.
