Bistro St. Michaels

Fantastic meal in great atmosphere. Had the seafood gumbo which had just the right amount of heat and tons of seafood. First time there and will definitely make it a stop the next time I visit St. Michael's.

Came for our anniversary and sat at the chef's counter at the recommendation of someone. (Make reservations online. Very easy to navigate!). Excellent recommendation as we could see what the whole team was doing from the chefs to the expeditors. Very professional, clean, and organized team. Everyone knew where to be, when, and what to do. French onion soup was amazing. Planned on having the short rib sandwich, based on another recommendation, (on the happy hour menu) but ended up having the rockfish special. Very fresh and unique.We ended up going back a week later for the short rib sandwich...and the French onion soup, again. Short rib sandwich was a little dry but we'll try it again. The soup is one of our favorites. Not too salty. In addition, on our second visit, I asked if they had a pumpkin martini. One of the owners said no but she quickly put something together. My wife enjoyed it! Thank you, thank you!!Great costume service, food, and environment! I have been recommending Bistro to many of my bar customers, at Harrison's Harbour Lights, so I had to try it for myself. Now it's one of our favorites in town!Well done Bistro team!

After a day on the water, we ended our evening at the Bistro.Service was very good, and we were able to get seated without a reservation. They have a nice patio area outside where furry friends can join you for a meal. Roasted Bone Marrow: it was okay. I think the chimichurri masked a lot of the flavor.Shrimp & Grits: shrimp was huge and cooked perfectly, but was a little salty. on the other hand, the grits were not seasoned at all and it was bland. Seafood Gumbo: good portions of seafoodBraised Short Rib: probably our favorite dish of the night. fork-tender and delicious! We will most definitely return if we visit St. Michael's again.

We were celebrating and this restaurant was recommended to us. We got a reservation for a place at the chefs table area by the kitchen. That was a great choice for anyone that loves the vibe of the kitchen. Our server Char was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I request a vegan menu and Char found out exactly what was vegan or vegan optional. We got the winter vegetable risotto, butternut bisque (no dairy), crispy mushrooms, and pommes frites. Everything was delicious! They do seasonal cooking well! We will be back! We got a late night reservation so we also got a glimpse of the kitchen turn down. Professional kitchen for sure! Must try in St. Michaels. The staff were all awesome!

Delightful French restaurant is relaxing St Michael'sMeal Quality: started off the meal by ordering a bottle of Domaine Girault Le Grand Moulin Sancerre wine, which was aromatic and well suited for my meal. Ordered a most wonderful Cream of Crab soup which is now my all-time favorite! It was simply perfect! Followed it up with my entree of Pan Seared Scallops which perfectly prepared with pine nuts, diced carrots, and radishes! Then there was dessert, which was Creme Brulee and a Framboise Tart with ice cream which I paired with a a delicious Sauternes wine, which goes so well with most desserts! The dessert pairing was marvelous and throughly enjoyed!Aesthetic Appeal & Atmosphere: Enjoyed a table on the front porch in relaxing town of St Michael'sService: Service was decent and attentive RATINGS:Meal Quality: 5Aesthetic Appeal & Atmosphere: 5Service: 4

What a cool place in this little town. We loved and loved the food. Service is amazing too.

Service and dinner was excellent! Cream Brûlée was just ok. Will definitely go back!!

Great food and charming atmosphere. We enjoyed the gumbo and lobster gnocchi. Wonderful!

Always first class service combined with great food and cocktails. Oysters grilled and fried are a must. The Veal Chop is exceptional. Bread Pudding a great way of finishing your dining experience. A hidden gem, if near St. Michael's a must go to. Bistro competes as one of the, if not the top restaurant on the Eastern Shore.

Great service. I & two others had the Tao Tog fish special which was awesome. A friend had the short ribs which she said was delicious. Another friend had the risotto which she thoroughly enjoyed. We would definitely return when back in town.
