Parking can be challenging so plan ahead.Call the restaurant about the valley parking options.Online reservation method is not very friendly with a $10 charge for cancellations -perhaps it is the website I was using, please check.The food was outstanding, highly recommend the redfish.Presentation, taste, temperature was right on the mark.The bar is well stocked, Don't be shy about asking for what you really want.Prices are competitive, when compared to simmer class restaurants.The kitchen team knows what they are doing, well done.Kudos to the management for running an excellent operation.
I can’t stress enough how utterly mind blowing an experience is at Bistro 218.It’s impossible to ever do it justice with words, but I will attempt. You never know what you’re in for with a lot of restaurants; for one reason or another consistency is hard to find. With bistro, everything about your experience is exactly as amazing, delicious, and special as the time before. From start to finish, you’ll find yourself transported to a different place.The cocktail list is as unique and varied as anywhere, but the wine list is where the drink menu truly shines.CASTLE, their in-house Sommelier, will make at least one appearance at your table- allow him the opportunity to pair your meal perfectly, because he will.It will be perfect. Whether it’s the fried oysters, amazing salads, or perfectly cooked and delicious entrees, you can’t miss on this menu.A varied selection of choices from vegetarian, seafood, and red meat… I actually chose against my usual direction and went chicken.It.Was.AMAZING.I kept thinking to myself “man, this is a chicken dish… but it’s so much more”.My girlfriend did the same- mixed it up and went against her usual and got the beef Wellington.Of course, she was blown away.And the wine pairings? Perfect as always. Also, a pro-tip: when making a reservation (don’t try and walk in by the way, a reservation is necessary unless you’re just interested in a bar section experience), request for the special balcony table.The atmosphere and surroundings at bistro are already top notch, but this just takes it to another level. There’s simply nothing about Bistro 218 that isn’t 5 stars.We can’t wait to be back.
Had a wonderful birthday Dinner.Everything from the drinks to dessert was superb.Will definitely be back.The menu boasts a diverse selection of French dishes.I highly recommend the Beef Wellington, every bite was bursting with flavor. No French meal would be complete without vanilla creme brulee.The best I have had.It's bliss in every spoonful.Bon appetite!
