   It’s always a great experience at La Bistro. The way dining out used to be. Outstanding food and service.

   This restaurant is a local gem! From the owner greeting each table to the wine suggestions, it was wonderful! The food was fantastic and the piano player is a lovely touch.

   The first big surprise is how great it looks inside, how warm and friendly the staff are, and what terrific Italian food!!! Don’t judge it by the exterior, it’s a storefront in a shopping mall. But once you walk in the door, you are in a full first class restaurant with a great menu and a nice wine list! A very pleasant experience and a restaurant you will return to over and over again!

   We had a wonderful time at the restaurant. We had a large party, celebrating my daughter’s birthday. They went above and beyond what we were expecting, especially the day after Valentine’s Day. The food, from a set menu, was delicious and everybody enjoyed all their portions of our meal. Especially, when they made accommodations for my son’s food allergies. Definitely will be coming back when in the area.

   Maybe they were busy so I’ll try when it’s not valentines, I’ve been eating here since I was a kid and this is the first time I’ve experienced it like this. The food did not come as described or items were missing, this hot stone for the cook your own steak wasn’t very hot and the meat tasted microwaved, the lamb chops were missing items, asked for bread and didn’t get it, refills were slow. Maybe a one off, I’ll give it another chance.

   We had a 7pm reservation on Valetines night but when we arrived thete were 20 or so people standing outside the entrance. We tried to enter to check in but there we so many people in the entrance with 6:15 reservations that had no even made it to check in!!!! I think this place should have to pay every party that had a confirmed reservation a penalty equal to two free meals equal to the fixed price for tonight!

   Had a confirmed reservation on valentines day through open table. When we showed up they said they overbooked so there would be a 90 minute wait. Lobby full of unhappy couples with the same situation. They said they would call when our table was ready but they never called so we did not get to eat there. I do not recommend booking special occasions here.

   Showed up for our reservation and was told it would be a 45 minute wait. We gave our phone to wait in the car and they never called.

   Had reservations for 6:15 on Valentine’s Day. Arrived at 6, wait staff said it was would 20-25 minutes. 45 minutes later we were sat. Was told by our waiter if we didn’t want to wait long for food then to just order the filet that cooked on the stone at our table. Filet was choice at best. Not much of a wine by the glass list. Their bottles of wine were 200% the price of in stores. The place and waiter was neat. Overall experience was 2 stars.

    Reservation was not honored. Told to expect 40 minute delay. The bar was overcrowded so we waited in the car for almost two hours for the call our table was available. Never got in. Total disorganization and complete lack of concern for customers. Been going to this establishment for many years and hoped for a special evening.
