Bistro San Martin

Incredible service , nice atmosphere, super yummy drinks, super yummy food. We also took home dessert, which was a fruit tart, with homemade pie crust and fruit in the center, all next to a scoop of the most amazing vanilla ice cream!

Exquisite! This is our new favorite restaurant in the area. The clams off the fresh sheet were prepared in a very unique and tasty way in a creamy red sauce with leeks. They were divine. The escargot were also great. Even their house baked bread and compound oil left us stunned. The New York strip with compound butter and Demi glace were to die for and the Maine lobster tail was tender and delicate. The service was also so friendly and quick! Your server prepares your drinks which results in them coming out quick! The drinks are absolutely delicious too, with the San martini and pear sidecar requiring seconds. They also have fun wine flights so you can try a few at a time. The restaurant is very clean with interesting paintings and the kitchen is front and center for a good view. We can't wait to go back!

Food and service were amazing!! A little loud, but otherwise nice to see it so busy. We would go again, but are sad they will close for good this week. Food of this quality is severely lacking in the area. Stanwood isn't too far but it's nice to enjoy and not worry about the drive home.

We love everything about this place! As a vegetarian, I request Chef to create the entree of his choice and it never disappoints! It's so nice to experience artistry beyond the standard salad or pasta.

Meal was amazing, server wasnt real engaged acted like he would rather be somewhere else... we were there celebrating a birthday so we mentioned it. He brought a piece of cake over and then charged me $10 for it... food is good, prices are high service could be better for sure

Date day I was treated to The Bistro San Martin. What an amazing experience and meal! Our waitress was outstanding! We asked for our meal to be spaced out over the evening after we placed our orders and she was spot on! Friendly and very familiar with the menu and gave great suggestions.We started out with the Poke'. It was delicious. Very flavorful and tasty.The caprese salad was next, very refreshing and crisp.Sweet onion soup followed, it was so savory and succulent.Main course was scallops that were seared to perfection served with an amazing risotto.This is a great dinner spot. The food and service are right on point!

After long adieu via an extended COVID closure, Bistro San Martin is back in full swing. The owners both working from Kitchen to table side, a pleasurable experience. Starting with an escargot starter swimming in butter and garlic as the lord intended. Followed with a fresh caesar and the very impressive seafood bisque, that was my favorite piece of the evening.The Filet was a generous size, immensley tender, properly cooked and seasoned topped in a bleu cheese compound butter than accentuates perfectly!

Super underwhelming but a solid restaurant. Was a good dinner all around but nothing special, our table of 6 ordered a BUNCH of the menu, and there were some really good things but most of it was underwhelming. Non of it was bad, the steaks we all ordered were cooked perfect, but it wasn't seasoned really at all. Lot of people in Arlington don't usually enjoy traveling out of town so this is the spot for them, but 20-30 min south and I feel there is some better food to be had.Waiter was super awesome and service was great. Everyone really loved their drinks and prices for everything was decently good. We all heard about this place for years and finally went, so maybe our expectations were a lot higher for the food and we left wanting more out of it I think. 5 of us had steaks, 3 had lobsters, and we had about 6-7 starters.

Love these people.Love all of their delicious food.Love the atmosphere.Service is top notch.

It took months for us to get reservations here and it was worth the wait because everything was amazing! For our starters, we ordered the Gnudi Ravioli and the spinach salad and for our main courses, we got the halibut (which was a special-of-the-evening option) and the grilled flat iron steak. Everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was literally the best steak I have ever had! The drinks were yummy, too! The spiced pear sidecar was so good! The ambiance was nice. Cozy inside with dimmed lighting. The server was polite and helpful with menu modifications (for dietary restrictions).
