As we have come to expect, the food and service was excellent. While the menu is limited, everything is top quality. I enjoyed the sea bass and my wife the salmon, both were excellent. We also enjoyed a nice wine suggested by our server. As it was my wife’s birthday, the complimentary dessert was really appreciated. The Bistro is our go to restaurant for those special occasions. We highly recommend it!

I will definitely be back. I wish I had remembered our server's name. She was a slender white woman who did a great job.

About the restaurant

**HAPPY HOUR DISCLOSURE Happy hour is walk in only and limited to the bar, and the bar side of our patio. Adding notes to your reservation requesting happy hour does not guarantee you a happy hour table.

Our menu is a true California Cuisine, offering a wide array of steaks, seafood, appetizers, soups, salads sandwiches and burgers, and creative desserts. We have a hand picked wine and cocktail list and a fun atmosphere.

We also offer "whole pig" dinners that must be pre ordered.
