This was our third time at Bistro Lepic and it proved why we keep coming back. We had a wonderful experience celebrating our daughter's birthday. The French onion soup was rich and flavorful, and the beef medallions were cooked perfectly. The seabass special was the highlight—absolutely delicious! We ordered four entrees and they were all incredible. The service was warm and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made for a truly enjoyable meal. We’ll definitely be returning yet again! Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at Caruso's. Our server was excellent--knowledgable, very patient, and kind. A nice man in glasses checked on us too. It was a special meal with old friends. Somehow we got a complimentary round of Limoncello?! We didn't order it--it was a nice touch! We will be back!

We experienced a family emergency while we were dining and our waitress was so calm and helpful. Our food had just been set down and she helped us get the check and boxes as quickly as possible. She was amazing! Love dining here and so thankful for her!

Firstly, for a modern bistro the noise level was quite low. This is helped by the absence of music playing in the background. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. If you are looking for a delicious meal served in a leisurely manner, this is the place.

We enjoyed our birthday celebration at Pinstripes, but I have one suggestion. The "truffle fries" were very disappointing - not tasty or hot. They were thinner than shoestring size and not at all appetizing. I recommend you rethink that offering. Everything else was very enjoyable.
