The Bistro

At the recommendation of the lady I sat next to on UA2237 flight, my family & I tried The Bistro. I enjoyed the Purple & Gold nonalcoholic beverage as well as my Brunch Burger. I ate my fries first and only made it through about half of my burger; it was quite filling. I wish I had looked through the dessert menu first, I would definitely have picked a lighter meal so I could have gotten the Creme Brulee.

The best thing about my dinner was the cocktail. The salad, frisée au lardons, had a nice taste, but the lardons were tough and hard to chew and the stalks on the normally delicate frisée were overly crunchy. The Dover sole, recommended by the bartender, was just okay. The atmosphere at the bar was busy. The restaurant is adjacent to a hotel and has a ready-made clientele, which isn't always a good thing when it comes to effort and food quality.

Our time here was fine, we were celebrating a birthday having a blast with our girls d our apps were fine, shooters are a good options however they could be a little colder since they’re oysters. Our wine service was fine, the server was a little stiff the whole service, and the cherry on top of our meal was the entree, one of our friends order the MEDIUM 12oz New York Strip, unfortunately it came up over cooked, we talked to the server and got it refried, which it took a while, and came back with the same overcooked steak; my “bar” steak I ordered medium rare came out rare. They said it was going to be out of our bill, But with two re-fired steak, our meal got a little uncomfortable. I think the menu is good, is a little longer than expected, they were offering specials but when we ordered them they ran out so we have to change our dish; the atmosphere was good, we had a blast, the drinks were good, but food wise, not so great. Working in the culinary business we understand the challenges we have in kitchen, the lack of attention or the “quantity over quality” situation was definitely present tonight at this place. We’d still be back, for drinks o it perhaps, or the apps

Consistently great food and excellent service. Solid menu and great bar area. Located just off the town square in Jackson makes it easy to find. We lived in Jackson for 17 years, and The Bistro is still a favorite with our family when we visit. If you visit Jackson, put The Bistro on your list of restaurants to consider... I think you will be pleased.
