We are a family with 2 generations of food allergies. GF, DF, Beef & Nightshade. They worked hard to sort menu options & switches and cater to us. One family member show up late and they still got us all served dinner at same time. They were amazing. Food was a unique fun foodie delicious experience. Very happy with our dinner. Our waiter Mario was awesome! Highly recommend!

A happy surprise! My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Easy Bistro before attending a concert at the Tivoli. It was nice to be able to walk from our hotel to the restaurant, then on to the concert. We did not expect much from a location on the tourist strip, but we were delighted by the food, service and atmosphere. Great selection of oysters, delicious and creative salad followed by an amazing snapper selection. The chicken fried mushroom is a must try option if you’re a mushroom fan and may convert those who aren’t. We did not have room for dessert. The restaurant does a nice job of marrying old and new architectural accents which results in a cool, modern vibe. They were not busy while we were there so noise was not an issue, but with high ceilings and hard floors it might be loud on a busy night. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and the meal was well paced.
