    Enjoyed the dinner very much. Service was good. Food (except for the oysters, which were small, but still fresh) was excellent. The restaurant was very noisy though, and we (my friend and I) often could not hear each other well across the good sized rectangular table for 2). We were there before 6pm and the drinks were on special and the oysters were half-price, and I had the prix fixe and so the bill at the end was not super expensive -- worked out to be about $85 person with tips and one drink each.

    Service is always good, been there many times before it reopened. My friends meal of liver and onions look very good. My $19 Caesar salad was s very small , I would not order that again as a $19 salad should not be the size of a small side plate...

    We loved our dinner at Biff's Bistro - we enjoyed the Happy Hour hors d'oeuvres and wine. We ordered flatiron 7" steak frites; the duck and Moules plus Frites were delicious ,reasonably priced and delivered in a very timely manner. Lovely night out.
