    I followed Apple Maps and parked further away, as the bistro is actually at the other side of the street. I was early and paid meter parking already, so the walk was not bad. Please check where the bistro is with Google maps if you don’t know where it is already. The food was pretty good and at great value, the environment was quite nice. Though I wished for some fresh cracked pepper or salt maybe. The server that first helped me with my order did not get what I said correctly at first, but if was corrected when he re-verified the order. They forgot to charge me for iced tea, I told that they forgot to charge me, and it was corrected. All in all, good experience.

    The menu designated for the time I went had really poor choice of ingredients. Very bad choice of dish as well as the fact the food was pretty tasteless.

    The food at the LBCC Bistro is always Outstanding. The service is exceptional and the plating is spot on. I am always amazed that everything is prepared by culinary arts students. Everything looks and tastes like it came from a fine dining restaurant. Kudos to the instructors and students. I will definitely be back.

    We had so much fun going back on campus as alumni to have lunch at the LBCC Bistro. The menu for the day we made reservations featured Mediterranean style dining. We shared two appetizers—Spinakopita and pita with Hummus, Babaganoush, and tabbouli. Both appetizers were delicious. My husband ordered the sea bass for his entree, which was served with rice and asparagus. I ordered the chicken kabob, which was served on a bed of rice with veggies. Both entrees were tasty and presented beautifully. We shared two desserts—ice cream with a baklava topping and a honey soaked cake. Both were outstanding, flavorful and a treat for the eye. It was a delightful lunch. Our server, Lulu, was great as were the chefs and helpers. The LBCC Culinary Arts program is excellent. We enjoyed watching the chefs at work through the large picture window to the kitchen and the closeups on the tv screens in the dining room.

    It took a little long for me to get my order taken. The foot was a bit salty but the dessert made up for it.
