Bistro Eleven

We were in in the area for a ski vacation and needed a place to have my birthday celebration. This place was an excellent choice. Our server was the best! He was fast and courteous. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. The place is very nice. We were in a small side room with only a few tables so it made for a peaceful atmosphere. They have beautiful paintings throughout the restaurant.The fresh hot bread is amazing. I could not stop at just one, of course I probably should have but it was my birthday. I had the land which was good. We also ordered the Crab Imperial, and Crab cakes. They give a lot of crab with their dishes. It is nice that they do not add too much breading to the crab cakes.

Got seated immediately. Very nice ambiance. Server was very informative and attentive. Food was good.

I have always had a lovely experience at bistro eleven. The staff Is super friendly and the inside feels fancier than other places. The food is yummy. I did not love my chicken but I wasn't expecting an actual chicken so that is on me. The potatoes were wonderfully crafted!

Food is very nice. Staff is accomodating and the place is very wonderful, it's clean and they have a very nice music. My husband and I love it. thank you.

Inconsistent is the best way to describe Bistro 11. This is our third time here and both times 2 & 3 were underwhelming, to say the least. Second visit was husband and me again at lunchtime on a Saturday over the holidays. They were somewhat busy, but not terribly so. However, the table of 2 seated about 15 minutes after us got their entrees before we even got our salads. There was a large party in the back room that also arrived after us (~20 mins or so) who were being served food before we got our salads either. The food on visit 2 was good, but since we waited 53 minutes for it, we were kind of over the whole experience. Visit #3 we came on a Thursday evening with a party of 8. We expect some delays with that to a degree, but yeesh- this visit was probably about a 4 out of 10. We ordered the crab dip again and asked for old bay when ordering since we knew it needed it. It didn't come with it. Asked for it 2 more times and it still never came. Literally when finishing our last 2 bites, it arrived. Gee, thanks. Not to mention we were brought an extra baguette that we didn't request, but were charged for on the check. #notcoolOur waitress was kind, but she was new and very overwhelmed. The owner/manager/whomever is in charge should keep a close eye on new servers to make sure they're okay when serving larger parties on a busy week night. There were a LOT of problems with service. * Some of our party never got their apps. * We never got our salads. * Waitress offered to bring them after we gotour entrees. Instead we asked her to just box them up with dressing on the side. We had ordered Caesar salads. The ones we took home (& didn't notice until we were home) were garden salad with a vinaigrette (that we never would've ordered) on the side. * Drinks were forgotten. * Waters were only refilled once. To be fair she came back with water another time, but no one needed any at that time. * No dessert was offered. Husband ordered the chicken Chesapeake and the chicken was not done. Sent it back and he ordered a crab cake instead. The crab cake was good, fries were not limp this time, but had a an off flavor. I got the crab imperial and it was good. Less saucy than any crab imperial I've ever had, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Roasted veg on side were good though some bits were burnt. One other item of note that I didn't mention before; there is no salt and pepper on the table. To me that's a sign of a pretentious chef who thinks their food doesn't need s&p, which would be fine if it didn't actually NEED it. But everything I've had here has been under seasoned and is in definite need of additional seasoning. Either taste the food you're putting out and make sure it is actually seasoned properly or be like any other restaurant and put the damn stuff on the table! And this isn't just my opinion. Others in our party said the clam chowder needed more seasoning, one had the chicken and gnocchi and called it flavorless and unmemorable. There is a lot of potential for this place. The ambiance is nice, but they need to get it together. I'm not excited to come back any time soon after these past few experiences.

The food was good and it was a very solid effort. We enjoyed it. What we did not like, was the live music, which made any conversation impossible and hastened our departure. I asked my wife if the restaurant was trying to be a music club or a restaurant. Too bad the solid food effort was marred by the loud music which made any conversation impossible.

I had the blackened Maui Maui and it was spiced to perfection, the wild rice was as good as wild rice can be and the broccolini was delicious as well. My wife had the salmon and three cheese tortellini and it was delicious as well. Great service and a good ambiance. My only complaints is it was a little louder than I would like they may need some additional noise absorbent materials and the water and tea glasses where small. My server kept my glass full and did a great job. I will be adding this to my list of regular date night spots.

Food great, service and ambience wonderful. They also had nice drinks and wines.We will definitely go back.

Great food and service! Only negative is that it is noisy. Great place for lunch or special dinner.

We have decided that Bistro 11 is just a lunch restaurant for us. We went there a few days ago for lunch and then tonight for dinner. Two completely different experiences. Will never go back for dinner. Food was not near as good and service was poor. I had a tofu dish and if you have ever eaten tofu you know it doesn't have any flavor and takes the flavor of the spices or sauce served with it. Which wasn't enough to even eat half the dish. My husband had duck, with had no flavor and he thought was fried. The salads were pre made and cold. The server did not even acknowledge we didn't eat much of our meal. We were going to get dessert but service was so slow we decided we didn't want to wait that long. Will go back for lunch but never for dinner.
