“ Nothing went wrong. Service was there where needed, decor was fine, and the food was presented fairly for the price. Check it out when weather permits. ”
“ Thank you Zac for our wonderful evening. Thank you Nathan for the deliciousness again! Eric we love your place. The service is amazing and the culinary team: Joe, Glenn, Holly and Manuel did a wonderful job executing Nathan's vision. ”
“ The only reason I am not eating it 5 stars is because you never know what level Of service you will be getting. Sometimes it's a bit, sometimes it's a miss. I am surprised that they have as much business as they do in the area they are located, so that is an impressive feat. Either way; I'd probably still return for a good drink and appetizer. ”
“ Such an amazing experience. Worth the drive from the Eastside. I have to complement this restaurant on unique flavors and takes on traditional meals. For example, the potatoes on the side of our steak were flaky like a croissant and structurally pleasing to the eye. Very delicious very unique. Secondly the Caesar salad tasted exactly like a barbecue Caesar salad. There was a smoky flavor that was absolutely delicious and left you wanting more. Lastly I have to complement the fried brie. This is the exact reason I came out to try bar bistro. Melty, delicious and wonderful. I would say that they should give you more than three pieces of bread. The fruit was fresh and absolutely delicious pairings of toppings on the brie. I have to come out and try this place again and bring my friends and other family members. Such a hidden gem. ”
“ This place slaps. I gave it a four star before and I don't think that was right. I know previously I would try to limit my five star interactions so that I felt like I was a strong reviewer. That is out the window. I pick places that are mostly awesome, and I enjoy places a lot. This is a 5 star experience. You can look through my previous posts I often complain about pricing. I am not doing that here. The price is fair across the board. I don't eat fine dining very often and this is a nice midpoint. Its fancy, it feels upper class, but the price doesn't reflect super upper class. Here is what I think makes the difference. One prices are high, but not stupid. I paid $40 for a nice pork chop at a previous location that felt silly. The pork chop here is $28 and feels right inline with restaurant style pork chop. Second, they offer options that are not high priced. Where most places start their menu at $40 these guys have great offering $30 and below. Plus they offer some beautiful steak options for people who want to spend a bit more. Overall we had a great experience before, we had just as great of an experience the other night and I highly recommend for anyone who likes a solid meal. I would suggest making a reservation. The place really filled up after we got there. Great food across the board. ”
“ This restaurant is 36 minutes away from Renton. I wanted Baked or Fried Brie and this restaurant posted a Brie that looked the most delicious. Not only was the Brie delicious but we ordered a delicious Steak which was served with an unusually flaky potato set upright on the plate and asparagus with fresh garlic slices. We really enjoyed our meal and definitely will be back. It was worth the drive. ”
“ Always a lovely time at Bar Bistro. I truly love the casual atmosphere. The food and drinks are fantastic, and our server Zachary...THE BEST. He shared his favorites and customer favorites with my friends who had never been to the restaurant. His suggestions did not disappoint. We can't wait to ho back. ”
“ First time trying this place, was a little skeptical from the looks on the outside. The restaurant was nice and clean inside, very spacious as well. The service was great, the server gave us delicious recommendations. The food was very tasteful, none of us were disappointed with our choices! We would definitely come back and I would order the brisket Mac n' cheese again! ”
“ Bar Bistro is a gem! The outside is nicely painted and has an outdoor seating area. Of course it is too cold to for use right now. There is a good amount of parking in the back and front. Upon entrance it was practically empty. It was early evening around 4:30. By the time we were leaving it was completely packed. The inside is nice. The lighting in the bar area is modern and definitely gives a bar vibe. We started with drinks My go to is a Cosmo and my husband ordered a dark and stormy. Cosmo was nice. For dinner I had the crab cakes and the grilled romaine salad. The crab cakes are not large but the flavor makes up for that. They were full of flavor and the micro greens and sauce all complimented each other well. The grilled salad and house made dressing was amazing. I added a side of lump crab. The crab was juicy and buttery. My husband had the pork chops with mashed potatoes and collard greens. Okay PNW y'all are out here cooking it up with these greens. Whoever made those greens has some definite soul! I loved them! Potatoes were creamy and filling. I do not eat pork but, my husband raves about the flavor. My husband gave his food a 4.5 out of 5! If say that's pretty good. Lastly the dessert. We ordered the carrot cake. The cake was good but, the icing was buttercream I believe instead of cream cheese and I am not a fan of buttercream. Also the cake was topped with the strips of fried or dried carrots and it was not needed. A great dessert/cake can speak for itself. I don't think it was needed. Our waitress Shea was attentive and kind. Has a very down to earth personality. We will return again! ”
