Bistro 214

Scrumptious food and attentive, friendly service. We started w the Chacha shrimp (w sauce on the side). I had the ribeye (well done, which took a bit longer to cook) with green beans and mashed potatoes. Beans were perfectly cooked and flavorful. Steak was tender and cooked exactly as ordered. my husband had the pork chop. It was huge. I am not normally a fan of pork, but this was perhaps the best chop I have ever tasted. perfectly seasoned tender and flavorful.

Our service was perfect! The atmosphere is nice with an unassuming air and as our dinner arrived a fellow showed up with his guitar and started playing music. The volume was ideal for conversation and it really was a nice touch. Dinner was good. The sauce that came with my pork was delicious and my green beans were fabulous! Jackie's steak was cooked perfectly but she wasn't impressed by the Demi glaze. We had dumplings for our appetizer and they were tasty. Nothing about dinner blew me away but everything was solid and I would eat here again.

This is a fabulous spot in downtown Shelby! I'll be dreaming about this steak salad for a long time. The fried onions were a delicious touch. Service was fast and friendly and we enjoyed the live music playing.

First time trying this restaurant since the name change. We had a great experience. Sherilyn was super nice. Gave us a wonderful window seat. Our server, Susan, was very attentive. The food and the service were good. Only issue was salads came out late and shortly after our entrees arrived. Will definitely be back.

A nice treat for a special occasion. It's the best fine dining in town. We were invited by some friends and enjoyed our dinner very much. The atmosphere is very nice and we enjoyed the live music too. We ordered the pecan crusted trout which was great. I enjoyed the goat cheese salad. There's great service and friendly help. They have full bar and wine menu too. Our friends say it's the best place for steak too. We hopefully will be able to visit again.

Very good food service and atmosphere every time we go there. I reccamend almost everything on the menue !

Filet and Rib Eye were absolutely fantastic. Meredith was an amazing waitress. In my opinion, Bistro 214 would be one of the top restaurants in any major city in the US. Shelby, NC has a gem!

Bistro that does not disappoint, top notch service, exceptionally good food, and ambiance! Highly Recommended!

He had the rib-eye special with mashed potatoes and asparagus and said it was excellent. My pecan-encrusted NC trout in buttery sage sauce was a huge crispy delicious filet atop sautéed spinach and sweet potato chunks. The sweet potatoes were flavorful but a little firm and not very exciting. We shared the cha cha shrimp which was served in a Chipotle cream sauce on a thin edible shell with lettuces. His cab was good; my red wine blend was better, smooth and deep. We finished with the chocolate mousse Gamache. Altogether a superb meal with very good service. Oh, and the bread was thick and warm with a Balsamic olive oil.​​

We set up a reservation to celebrate our birthdays ( my husband and I are a day apart). We requested a table by the window. There are two big windows in the front. We were seated at a side table technically by a window. My husband was literally next to a wall and his seat went into a main walkway. There was music playing way too loud. When we were seated the hostess said here. I said I guess this has to do. She shrugged. The waitress tried very hard and the food was okay. The seating was terrible and the table was way too small. The only reason I am giving any stars is because of the hardworking waitress. They have a long way to go for us to come back. We used to love coming here and it was our special place before this last changeover. My husband just told me he TOLD them it was a special occasion and there was nothing said or done to make it special. Notice the response below as an example of how management handles difficult situations. When my husband requested the table by the window, if he had been told they were booked, we could have changed our time or day to help everyone. Also, I removed my statement of the 20% because I have no proof. We didn't take a picture or our check, but my husband swears it was there and was very surprised. A simple "happy birthday" or" thank you for joining us on a special occasion" would have sufficed.

A window table was reserved for you for a party of 2, with note of birthday, no special requests other than window table, There were other larger parties with window reservations before yours, which filled up window section, but we kept your table for 2 guests. Tables are seated according to number of guests, so you had a 2 seat table. We always have guitarist on the weekends playing background music, which our guests enjoy and ask for him to be there. There has been NO "change over", just a remodel, redecoration, upfitting and rebranding of name. All else is still the same. That was 2 1/2 years ago.Not sure what you wanted to make it "special" as you did not speak with wait staff or manager on duty to address.Read less
