    We had a great overall dining experience celebrating my wife’s birthday! The staff accommodated our reservation requests. We had a great booth seating and a great ambiance for our dinner. Our server, Jamie was knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive! Her partner ensured our water glasses were always topped off and our used dishes and utensils were promptly removed. Our food was perfectly prepared and tasted delicious! Thank you for providing us a memorable dining experience tonight!

    The 50th Anniversary $50 dinner special was well worth it! Our second time trying Il Bistro, and it was as good as our first experience!

    Chicken Parmigiana was hot but the shells were warm to cold. Both Parmigiana dishes at our table were the same. Food quality was good, but you’re paying for the ambiance and food quantity.
