Bistro 197

"Really cozy and beautiful little place. The beef short rib was outstanding. So tender and flavorful. Unfortunately I am participated in “dry January” so I didn’t get to try any of their cocktails or their really nice selection of draft beer. Our waitress Stephanie was very nice and attentive. I would definitely come here again."

"Omg the food at Bistro 197 is nothing short of AMAZING. We’ve been wanting to try it out for a while and so glad we finally did. Everything we ordered was on point. It’s been a long time since we’ve been out to eat where the food wasn’t just mediocre. Loved the atmosphere and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. I don’t normally do reviews but this is worth mentioning. Highly recommend!"

"Lovely new vibe atmosphere and layout. The oyster Mignonette sauce was the best I've ever had. It had pieces of cucumber in it which was new for me. The had every fruit, vegetable, herb or bitter you could think of so making any cocktail under the sun would be no problem. I was surprised when they didn't have any WIFI for they're patrons especially when almost no cell service for Verizon in the restaurant and 3 separate networks available for the Bistro and all of them locked. Makes zero not to offer one to their customers."

"We went on a Froday night and sat at the bar. There was live music and the place had a very cozy and warm atmosphere. The bartender was busy but not too busy. Long story short, the service was friendly but slow and not intuitive at all. We waited a solid 30 minutes for 2 oysters (which were fantastic). Waited quite a while for Drinks and our entrée. The food was absolutely delightful. The grilled octopus and clams were on the regular menu and it was fantastic. Just hoping this was an off night for the FOH crew, again friendly enough, but slow and upsetting or suggesting anything.... We still tipped 25%...."
