Le Bistro Restaurant

Yesterday was the first time going to Le Bistro, the service was great, food was amazing, and the atmosphere was relaxing. I can't believe that there wasn't more people there, if your in Lighthouse Point, FL, Le Bistro is a must!!!! more

Great Chef\r Great Menu\r Great Food\r Great Atmosphere\r Great Owners and Staff and\r Great Prices\r and, delicious cooking classes\r \r I just made another dinner reservation\r mm mm good 5 stars for Le Bistro more

Excellent food, but the poor service killed the meal. Our salads were nevered delivered to the table; we had to ask for bread; we never received steak knives; and a 20% gratuity was automatically added onto our table for 2. When we questioned this the owner defended the fact that they were short staffed and told us that their customers come for the food not the service. They need to visit other restaurants where excellent food and excellent service go hand in hand, they are not independent of each other. more

Going out to dinner for a special occassion is one of the most difficult things you can do as a vegan, especially when your family is carnivorous... but Le Bistro has the most accomodating chef I have ever encountered! \r \r Not only did he walk me through the menu over the phone, pointing out the various substitions and ingredients available, but he even met with me when I arrived to again make recommendations and find out what flavors I liked. \r \r Before the first course was even served we received complimentary glasses of champagne in honor of my birthday. The meal ended with the chef coming out to personally toast my celebration with glasses of port. \r \r The food was delicious and just the right amount (I actually had leftovers to bring home), and I found the price reasonable ($35/4 course dine out menu).\r \r We plan to go back for many more occassions! more

Food was ok...the shrimp dish contained 5 shrimp. It was decent rafting but overpriced fir what we got. more

We were not sure when we entered, the setting is a bit dated; but, once seated, we were impressed with the cordiality of the server & co-owner, Erin. The wine list probably needs a little more attention (additional Meritages would be a good start), but, we were satisfied with our selection. Pricing, both on wines & food was extremely reasonable (actually, based on the food, probably under priced). \r \r Our Beef Welllington was cooked to perfection, pastry flaky & light, beef rare with warm center (not over cooked), Escargot were perfect, Beet appetizer was best we've had in long time. The co-owner Chef knows what he is doing and hit our requests on the head. \r \r Definitely on our must return to list. more

Really delicious dinner. Everything we had was well presented and perfectly prepared. Nice place too. Try the goat cheese appetizer, the snapper, the braised beef, classical creme brulee. Will go back again and again. more

I brought a workmate and a mutual friend into Le Bistro last night for an impromptu birthday party. AS USUAL the food was fantastic. The customer service was even better, if that is possible! The wait staff was attuned to the 'flow' of our dinner party...Each course came out perfectly presented and delicious. Water was refreshed and wine was poured extremely promptly.\r \r And the birthday dessert (please remember Le Bistro had no advanced warning) was terrific..all sparkly and delicious and homemade! more

Be advised, the owner tracked me down after a negative review. She then proceded to call me a liar. more

I am here loving my gazpacho. WONDERFUL. and looking forward to my entree. If u have not eaten here you have missed a fantastic meal more

I'm sorry but nothing French about this place. Salad dressing awfull, food just OK. I'm sure it must be what we ordered. Stick with the seafood is my guess. Owner got offended when we told her our feelings. You can do better. more

A little back story: I last visited this delightful establishment 2 decades ago. Back then, they had a wonderful dish on the regular menu of calf's liver sauteed in a raspberry vinaigrette reduction. I would take people here who swore up and down that they hated liver and would bet them that they would love it the way it was prepared here. I never lost that bet!\r \r Finding ourselves en route from South Beach to Palm Beach last night in terrible traffic, hunger overtook us and we decided (i.e. my girlfriend insisted) to revisit the Brazilian Steakhouse Gaucho Rodizio which had pleasantly surprised us just last month. Boy, were we surprised to find the door chained and a note scrawled on a manila file folder affixed to the door announcing their closure. Ah, well, such is the restaurant business the world over.\r \r After a few U-turns I noticed a familiar strip mall that I had not been to in 20 years and there was Le Bistro after all these years, just as I remembered it. We took a chance at 7:15 and went inside without a reservation. We were immediately shown to a delightful table by the window and were extremely well taken care by the professional staff. Somehow she managed to order a bottle of still water before I had my napkin on my lap.\r \r The wine list was a delight and we ordered a bottle of Prosecco that while a bit dry for her tastes, suited me just fine. We proceeded to devour the assiette of 3 cheeses. The Stilton made one pucker (in a good way) and the Taleggio was excellent. The presentation was very well done with a dollop of honeycomb and toasted almonds. Also, the in house baked bread was wonderful as was the dish of olives that disappeared before I could try even one (she was VERY hungry).\r \r We followed that up with a delicious Duck Soup that we shared. It appeared a little thin to me at first, but after one bite I was immediately impressed. \r \r For dinner they had a special dish I just couldn't resist. It was a bone-in veal chop in a white mushroom sauce and it was absolutely perfectly cooked and presented. For her, it was the Grouper en papillote that had the most delicious combination of cilantro and ginger sprinkled on top. Both of our plates were clean when we were finished. \r \r I don't know where we found the room ,but we ended the evening with the Grand assiette of dessert sampler which included homemade strawberry gelato, creme brulee (very cutely served in an espresso cup), a chocolate mousse that was amazing and an apple tart that was just perfect. \r \r It was a wonderful night and we were well satiated to continue on to Palm Beach for cocktails where all we talked about was how great our dinner was! \r \r It's a remarkable achievement for a restaurant to be able to retain it's superiority after 20 years and I commend the new owners for following up and carrying forward such a tradition of excellence. more

Had a great dinner at Le Bistro finished off by Bananas Foster prepared in front of us in the dining room! The seafood chowder is delicious, as is the goat cheese and snapper. A must for anyone who knows and enjoys great food. The chef really knows what he is doing! more

The server was nice, but the food was so terrible that we couldn't finish it. It took an hour to get there, but we thought the food would be worth it. On the way back home, my boyfriend and I tried to think of anything worse that we have ever eaten. Neither of us could think of one. Please don't ever eat here! The rude owner didn't make the experience any better. more

What an awsome eating experience ! My wife was disappointed not to getting the lobster however, the Prime Rib was great as was my lamb and mussels, the atmosphere great,food great, and service was great ! I reommend it more

In a little strip mall on Federal Highway is this gem of a restaurant serving eclectic food with a French influence. The Chef seems to really know what he is doing with an everchanging tasting menu and fresh ingredients used in all of his dishes. I have never been disappointed in any of my choices. He should bottle his salad dressing. more

There is no question that this restaurant has the finest food, flavors & presentation are equisite, service is warm, knowledgable and accomodating. Very European like. Very varied and full menu. Extraordinary! Pros: staff, affordable, great wine list more
