We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Backstreet Bistro. We were greeted like VIPs and continued to be treated that way for the entire evening by any that visited our table from the restaurant staff. The Caesar Salad was exceptional and all pasta entrees are craveable. Can't wait to re turn!

The service was good but the food was very bland. We had the chicken Marsala and chicken piccata the chicken was dry and the sauces very bland. The ceasar salad not fresh. Probably won’t go back 😞

Consistently great meals at Backstreet Bistro. My salad came without dressing. I asked for a side and the server brought it right away. Our OpenTable reservation didn’t show up on Backstreet’s side. I showed our confirmation so it was clear that the reservation was made. The host was gracious and seated us right away.

Pretty sure they microwaved my salmon and the pasta tasted like it was boiled for three days. Do not recommend.

There were five of us. Four adults and toddler on New Years Eve. We had a nice table on the heated patio area. The food and service were great. Even the toddler had a great time.
