    The food was delicious and the service was grand. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. We were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday and we could not have picked a better place. They gave my husband a birthday card signed by the Bistro staff and a wonderful birthday dessert surprise. We will definitely dine with them again. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We had another very nice dinner at the Bistro on the Boulevard. Their food was fantastic, as usual, and the service was very good. This is our ‘go to’ spot in St Joe for a special night out.
