Bistro 101

"Beautiful restaurant, has a lovely ambiance to it. Appetizer portions are large. Multiple entree dishes are overpriced. Highly recommend the bistro salad. The waiter was very disconnected and had more of a clinical side than a personal one when interacting with us. The crème brûlée was eggy, did not have much flavor, and did not have a good thick caramelization on top."

"OMG. What a great menu. 5 star dining experience. This is fine dining and service. The menu is worth the drive and has regular changes and updated offerings. Take the time to make the drive to enjoy this spot"

"Everything was delicious! I heard so much around town about the Mushroom Bisque soup. It was hands down the best Mushroom Bisque I’ve ever had! We also indulged in the Scallops, Korean BBQ Sticky Ribs, the Artichoke Dip (also the best I’ve ever had!), and the Salmon entree. Everything exceeded expectations and we will definitely be back!"

"It’s been a while since we’ve had the pleasure of dining at Bistro 101, and it’s every bit as good as we remembered. Chef Mark first impressed us more than a decade ago when he ran Morels. Knowing who he is and how he cooks makes it worth the 40 minute drive from our house. Everything from the escargots, to the bone marrow, to the extensive bourbon selection, to the menu in general was sublime. There we seven of us, and each of us walked away feeling like we each got the best meal on the menu. The service is great, the ambiance is welcoming. We have an abundance of great dining options very near our house. Bistro 101 is worth the drive."

"What a pleasant place to meet for drinks, dinner, date night, or with the whole family. This was a last minute recommendation, and I am so glad we chose B101. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Our drinks were mixed just right. The food was way better than expected, when looking at the other restaurants that B101 shares on the same street. Every dish had me nodding in approval and wanting another bite. The bacon-wrapped dates are an automatic favorite: creamy dates with salty crunchy bacon, drizzled with a sweet glaze. I wish there were more than 4 to a plate. I usually only get steak at steakhouses, so I was skeptical, but ordered the filet anyway….Two big thumbs up on that decision! It was cooked to a perfect medium. Tender, easy to cut, not chewy or fatty. The salt seasoning and char took the taste to another level. I love that char grilled taste! The accompanying mushrooms were sautéed perfectly. Thinly sliced to cut down on the thick, meaty chewy texture. Easy added to every bite of steak, without distracting from its flavor. The potatoes dollops rounded out the plate perfectly. The friend’s halibut was light and bright. Not over cooked. The crunchy covering with a hint of citrus added a bang of Spring flavor to the dish. The fish was flanked by 2 potato-onion mini ‘muffins’. They had a beautiful crunchy outside with a warm creamy inside, and a hint of soft, well-sautéed onions. Very tasty. The vegetable s on both entrees were well done and well seasoned. Scrolling through their menu, I can’t wait to try their other dishes. I’m sure I will be pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth a return visit!"
