    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.

    We stopped by Biff’s for dinner last night and had a great experience. The food and service were excellent. Nice atmosphere and the noise level was low enough to allow us to have a conversation, something that is increasingly hard to find in some restaurants these days.

    Really nice to have Biff's back in the neighborhood. Reno's are great. Coq Au Vin was delicious, as was Trout Almondine. Same mushroom soup as before thankfully.

    We have been going to Biffs for many years and this was our first time at the new location. The decor was lovely, food delicious (though some of the simple details from the past like quail eggs in the Caesar are no longer). Steak Frites and beef bourguignon were excellent. We will definitely return!
