"Very cute little place. Loved the atmosphere and the historical setting was very nice. Very friendly service. I got the chicken fiesta quiche and salad and it was delicious. Great place to meet my cousin for lunch. We had a wonderful visit here. Will definitely return."

"Nice lunch stop. Do yourself a favor and set the GPS for Ben Franklin Bistro. Very nice restaurant with delicious salads and sandwiches, homemade desserts and ice cream."

"Like stepping back in time to much simpler days. this is the cutest little bistro I've ever seen. Not a very large breakfast selection however, what they have is great. They have great selection for lunch including a huge variety of sandwiches. The bistro is also a cute little antique shop. The service is great, staff very friendly and welcoming. Would have given 5 stars if they were a little more able to cater to gluten free needs. Not the idea restaurant for gluten allergies."

"We come to Clinton periodically for our children’s sporting events and often look for local establishments to try out. I’m happy this bistro was open at 1pm on a Saturday. This place had something for everyone, including my insanely particular daughter. I enjoyed the building, it maintains a lot of its historic charm. It is quite spacious, and the tables are spaced quite far apart, so you definitely won’t be crowded or bumped into. The sandwiches got good reviews from our party of four, the salad was rated quite high by the aforementioned picky daughter. I guess the only drawbacks were the fact they were out of several things, and ran out of soft drinks so we never got refills… and weren’t really offered an alternative or comped for any, but whatever. The food was better than expected and was delivered promptly despite the staff seeming somewhat unprepared for the rush of people arriving just before close. I’d definitely come back. I’d like to try those burgers."
