The food was amazing - 10/10. We ordered the lamb sliders, duck carnitas tacos, and flank steak with mushroom risotto. The Brussel sprouts were the best I’ve ever had. Service was great! Overall one of the better meals I’ve had in awhile! Would go back again to try brunch.

Overall it’s a nice establishment in a cute part of town. We had plenty of parking and were seated right way. We did have reservations, but they were moving folks in and out nicely. The waiter forgot our appetizers, but that was OK. We are enjoying our conversation. Burger was cooked perfectly and was enjoyed. Steak salad was good but a little drenched in dressing. Asked for the dressing on the side lemon cheesecake was outstanding. All in all I would return if I was back in the area,

On the all day menu, the food was good! Burger excellent, tacos good, lamb sliders, not so good…thin burger on three or 4 inches of focaccia bread, way too much bread and difficult to bite into. Margaritas are very good. Service a bit inattentive.

I absolutely adore this restaurant! We found it a couple of weeks ago on our way back from Tahoe, and we just had to go back again today! The food is so fresh, and obviously crafted with love! Don’t miss out on the amazing crispy, brussels sprouts, or the polenta fries! So delicious! The burger is to die for, and don’t forget the bacon! We tried the soup of the day today, a creamy carrot, and it was out of this world! I love the wine selection, and the fact that there’s a full bar! I don’t think you can go wrong whether you go with a simple sandwich, or try some thing a little fancier! We will definitely be back! 😋🫶🏻🤗

Always an amazing time at BackDoor Bistro. The entrees are very well put together and provide an upscale dining experience without having to travel to a big city.
