Bistro 83

In this picture you can see tomatos, bacon, cheese and bourbon gem…. I see only cucumbers and some sort of egg a.k.a cheese. Make sure when you order to ask if there is actually BACON, Tomatos and cheese like we all know it and bourbon gem.

Drinks were perfect. We started with a half dozen oysters, which were super fresh. The sauces that came with them were very yummy as well. Next was a lobster flatbread, which was tasty but needed a bit more lobster on it ( I would have gladly paid extra). The entrees were a pork shank volcano for him and the bbq pork mac and cheese for me. His entree was to die for. I had to send mine back as inedible (truly, I was not being a diva!). Staff was very attentive and understanding about the mac and cheese. I will definitely be back for the oysters and drinks, and maybe order the meatless flatbread. All in all, it was a good experience.

Was seated at the bar - music was cranked up and was difficult to hear or talk without being loud. Our waitress (Kelcie) was so very friendly and welcoming. The bartender brought everyone a small appertif to be consumed as a group at 6pm (seemed like a Fri routine, nice touch). We shared a beet salad which had 5 thinly sliced beets and very little cheese. The mushroom flatbread was good, could have used a little more seasoning. But all in all, better the service the moment we stepped in to the atmosphere and food - top notch and we will definitely return...and sit in the main dining room.

Bistro 83 has been the little close to home date night getaway for my wife and I. We stumbled upon it a few years ago. We enjoyed our experience so much that we decided this would be at least a two-time a year designated date. You could bring the whole family but we're never even going to mention this place to the kids. If you sit at the bar the patrons are nice you can have a conversation with anyone. If you sit down for dinner the staff is friendly and attentive. I have never felt rushed out the door, which is important to me. Even when they have made changes to the menu and I wound up getting something I had not anticipated when I walked in the door I have enjoyed it. It doesn't beat up your pocketbook either. Our last visit I had a beer and a Manhattan my wife had two or three martinis

Decided to try a new place for dinner. While it’s nice inside the service SUCKED!! The food was good, but not hot. Almost like it was waiting on the server to show up to serve it. Our server (Jeffrey) did a disappearing after he brought our food. Never came back to refill our drinks or ask how are food was. By the time he showed up & asked how everything was, we were done. My hubby advised him that you check on your customer. He had an attitude after that. Won’t be back or recommend. On a good note the food was really good.
