The Bistro at Blanco River soon to be Rustica

This is a very nice little hide away restaurant. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was great! We had burgers this time and they were well seasoned and juicy! The waffle fries are always a hit. The place is very clean. No waiting time. Fast service.

We stayed in Blanco for NYE and got to eat here our last night in town. Everything about our dinner was fantastic! The staff was more than welcoming and accommodating! I think the owner (or GM) sat us at our table and was very nice! I had the chicken fired steak- the cut of meat was tender and not overly fatty with great crispyness, the potato was perfectly cooked and not a potato that's been cooked for hours and just sitting around. My bf's salmon was cooked perfectly as well and the brussel sprouts were excellent. Lastly, the spinach artichoke dip was devine!! Definitely check this place out! It is comparable to nice restaurants you see in bigger cities (if not better)!

We’re visiting from Missouri and stopped at The Bistro for dinner. This has been one of our best decisions on the trip! I ordered the spinach/artichoke dip (best I’ve ever had), and our friends ordered the queso for appetizers. They were wonderful! For entrees, my best friend ordered the apple salad and her husband got the chicken tenders with waffle fries. I had the Greek salad with grilled chicken and my hubby had the bacon/brie burger and fries. All were exceptionally good! The wait staff was excellent, the food extraordinary, and the view spectacular. The river running alongside the restaurant adds such an amazing element. We WILL be back!!! 5 STARS!

Walking into this establishment, I didn't expect much, but was extremely impressed. We were asked if we wanted to sit outside or inside.And I made the mistake of sitting inside. If you have the opportunity, sit outside on a beautiful day the view is the Blanco river. I ordered the turkey sandwich with fries, he ordered the club with soup. The broccoli potato soup was well done and the sandwiches are huge! All fresh ingredients and tasted like homemade bread. We couldn't help but order the tiramisu which was the cherry on the top of the cake. Bring your appetite for a take home box as we did and enjoy later. Definitely, worthwhile, stopping to enjoy this cute little bistro.

Ordered the rustica shrimp plate to go, what i got was a plain pasta with no flavor kind of like for a kid. Shrimp had good flavor. Would not recommend. Defetnetly not worth the price. Tiramisu was good.
