    Coming through the door we are greeted immediately. Staff are very pleasant and attentive. As well as the manger. Frequent checkins are very much appreciated! Food and drinks were excellent. Reservations for dinner highly recommend. We can’t wait for patio season!

    We were the only people in the restaurant, which was the main contributor to a mediocre experience. The food was okay. A non-alcoholic beer on the menu would have been nice.

    The food was amazing, i loved the piano player he was very entertaining. Drinks were top notch i had a blackberry margarita. I went for valentines day and the menu was amazing 4 courses for 75 dollars what a deal.. Disappointed that some of those items are not on the regular menu. My favorite was the coconut cheesecake by far. I can't wait to go back for brunch!

The C​hicken & waffles: Buttermilk Fried Chicken w/ Hot Honey Maple ​Glaze & A Poached Egg w/ Creole Hollandaise, EXQUISITE! The OXTAIL AND GRITS: Marinated, Slow Cooked Oxtails with Creamy Grits, DIVINE!!!! Service was great! Friendly hostess and very attentive servers. Highly recommend FAVORITES BISTRO BAR. Can't wait to go back.

    What a fabulous place! Excellent food - Jerk Chicken & Short Ribs were great. But the real winner is the service and the feeling that you are being cared for. Nothing phoney here. Thanks for a great evening.

    Services were amazing. The staff is so kind. I did order a medium streak and the inside was actually raw. They apologized and corrected the issue right away, the only sad thing was my eggs were no longer runny by the time I got my steak back, but they were kind enough to give me an extra side and were always checking in on beverages or any thing else. Highly recommend!

    Terrific, personable, cheerful , and engaging server. Food exceeded our expectations ( French onion soup delicious, but served lukewarm tonight probably to coincide with perfectly heated chicken wings appetizer.). The braised short ribs beautifully served with mashed potatoes and cooked greens were simply WOW! We will be returning again soon.
