Fresh Bistro

"Amazing culinary experience. The combination of flavors was artisanal. Staff is so friendly, food was off the charts delicious and fresh. This is a hidden gem and a must visit! BYOB."

"I don't know why there isn't a line out the door of this place, as it is a gem of local place right downtown Highlands. A very simple menu with delicious seafood options and always a couple of specials. The service is very customizable, as in they are willing to make changes to the menu to accommodate. That was important to my wife and I who are both Vegans, which eliminates a lot of the menu, however holding goat cheese on a salad, or entree isn't a problem. My daughter and BF both had seafood dishes which looked and smelled delicious, and backed by many fine compliments from both of them."

"We had an octopus and a shrimp appetizer which were amazing. For dinner we each had specials. A cod and clam dish with a very well developed tomato based broth and a sweet chili glazed pork chop (recommended medium) with silky potatoes and charred carrots and a soy sauce based plate sauce. I thought the medium was a bit towards rare for my liking in the very center but was delicious otherwise. We went for an anniversary, and a rowdy table of 8 with some hearing issues made for a less than stellar atmosphere. Other diners rolling eyes or choosing outdoor seating made it known it wasn't just us, but all other times it's great date night atmosphere. The have a perfect bruchetta when you are seated, neither too crunchy nor too soggy. The bread has a scent of rosemary without being overpowering. We've been here several times, including an inner courtyard area which was an amazing oasis in covid times. We'll definitely be back again."

"Very good service and food, surprised that so many tables were empty. We had grilled salmon, swordfish piccata w/ risotto, crab cake appetizer, and homemade carrot cake. All were delicious! Will definitely return for dinner in the future."

"My husband and I went there for our anniversary on Wednesday. It was the second time we visited and the staff was just as delightful as the first time. The food was delicious and fresh! Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a friendly, but classy environment and an amazing food selection."
