Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Bistro 19 is a vibrant Mount Lebanon staple known for its "excellent food and service." Guests rave about the "delicious" Mediterranean dishes, seafood, and desserts like the "triple chocolate cake." While the atmosphere can be "energetic," attentive staff and a diverse menu make it "a true gem in the South Hills."

Our food and service was great. We had the salmon, the Mediterranean platter and the short rib. All were excellent. Shared the caramel popcorn sundae for dessert.

We were pleased to have a great dinner and ambiance at B19 this time, for our anniversary. Our previous experience was somewhat disappointing but seems to have been a one off. We do request more vegetarian options on the menu.

The last three times we have tried Bistro19, it’s been a disappointment. I’m not sure what happened as it used to be our favorite. Menu rarely changes but the food quality appears less. Waitress seemed short and abrupt. It’ll be a long time before we revisit.
