    We went to celebrate our anniversary and the place was jumping. Live music, lovely ambiance. I had the duck breast and the wedge salad and both were spectacular. Wait staff and management were attentive but not too much, just perfect. I was pleasantly surprised overall and we will definitely return!

    Greeted warmly at the front and they pulled up my reservation immediately. We were seated right away and our waitress greeted us at the table. Everyone seemed to enjoy their jobs and it showed in their actions / service. The food was outstanding. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend you check it out yourself.

    This local restaurant was a fantastic find, and the food was out of this world. They had a live performer that was not only very good, but he kept the volume down to the point that you could listen to him comfortably and still enjoy a conversation with your dinner. The staff was friendly and the food was great. It is a little pricey but so is everything these days. I will definitely be going back the next time I’m in town!

    Just a wonderful place right in town! Friendly, immediate greeting from host & manager. Immediate seating. Immediate service from a knowledgeable, friendly server with suggestions & patience & thoughtful with a restricted diet. Food was outstanding & always amazing new seasonal dishes. Atmosphere is Upscale, very comfortable & relaxing, beautiful indoor space with lovely bar & dining areas, perfect lighting & somehow noise level with many diners was very low, made it easy to communicate. Outdoor area is just a lovely dpace & set up. Across the boaard, wondergul place to go anytime.

    The Bistro is our go to for a nice meal and environment. Easy going live music often adds to our normal night out feeling like a special occasion. Server was excellent. They did run out of the special early in the evening however the replacement meal of pasta and salmon they suggested was delicious. Reservations recommend as this is a popular spot.

    I went to the Bistro in Irmo for the first time to celebrate me and my wife’s 3 year anniversary. I requested upon arrival that I would like to have flowers and our host made sure to accommodate us for our special occasion! I ordered the Duck and Tortellini which was AMAZING! The wonderful staff along with the ambiance of the beautiful live jazz performance made this night all to memorable! I highly recommend the Bistro on the Boulevard to everyone for a relaxed dining experience or special date night! Thank you Bistro!!
