Bistango

Fantastic service and food!!We ordered strawberry lychee and mule cocktails for drinks, which were fantastic!We got the charred octopus for the appetizer, which was delicious and so tender. What was the highlight of our meal was the linguine, which was perfectly light yet flavorful without feeling greasy. The clams were delicious and not fishy. The steak was also super delicious and came covered in this spiced crust that added perfect amount of texture for each bite. Overall would highly recommend this restaurant for a more upscale meal!

A return to an early 2000s favorite for me. I used to have business lunches here a few times a month for years. Nostalgia hit me as I walked in the door. History and memories can create expectations and I will admit I expected a lot from this dinner. Unfortunately it somewhat disappointed especially with the new price point which has increased substantially (far beyond inflation's influence). Let's start at the beginning. The hostess was verging on rude. We arrived on time for a 5pm dinner with an elderly woman. The restaurant was empty at that time. She said we could sit at the bar - I advised the 93 year old cannot sit on bar seats and that we would appreciate being seated. She seemed a bit put out by this and went back to putting mints in a bowl. We stood there by the front for 10 minutes before being seated. You could feel the awkwardness as she seemed to purposefully ignore us and pretend to be busy with menial tasks. That's just bad training and should have never happened. Bread was okay if not uninspired. A slight crust and fluffy inside. It should have been warmed up before serving. Appetizers were just okay. Calamari at $27 was soggy instead of crispy. Pear and beet salad at $25 was okay but lacking inspiration. Tuna tartare with avocado and taro chips ($27) was as I remembered although the cucumbers at the bottom were flaccid and looked like they had been cut well in advance of service (maybe two days before). Lamb chops at $66 were okay. Mashed potatoes were sold cold and somewhat gluey. Lamb itself was decent. Nothing amazing but good. Crab cake ($35?) was overcooked and too bready. This was not a crab cake that would pass muster on the East coast. It was probably 40% crab and a bit fishy. Tamarind king salmon ($42) was decent although the salmon portion was small at that price- around 4oz. The potatoes were oily and over soaked in a butter sauce that I had ordered on the side but which they applied anyway. Broccolini was fresh and excellent. The birthday comped dessert was profiteroles with ice cream and chocolate sauce. This was a very nice and a generous gift. Wine selection is mostly bigger style (like Prisoner) and there are few selections of more subtle and food friendly wines by the glass. An average glass of wine costs around $16. Cocktails approach $20. Service was kind and excellent. Atmosphere is nice and clubby. The live music was good and fun. It's a pretty space with an atrium that feels airy and fresh. Overall this was something of a disappointment given the pricing. Expect to spend $200 per person with tax and tip for a 3 course meal with a couple glasses of wine.

Excellent experience at this white tablecloth spot. It's a square room with a center aisle. Bar to the right, dining area to the left and across the back and to the left of the bar. Perhaps 40 tables, plus booths along the outside walls. The restaurant is in the open lobby of a building, enclosed with wooden panels and sails above to create an intimate setting. On this night an excellent jazz band was playing next to the bar... Perfect volume for conversation and the music was great. Knowledgeable wait team took the orders and executed the meal perfectly. Time from order to service about 15 minutes for entrees and everything was prepared exactly as ordered. Shout out to our server for "reminding" us that if we wanted souffle for dessert we should order early since it takes 35 minutes to prepare. Service is attentive without being obtrusive. Our water glasses were never empty!Warm bread and (soft) butter is served with water as soon as we are seated. The filet is exquisite. Cooked perfectly medium rare, the filet is cut-with-a-fork tender. Moist, juicy and flavorful in the center, nicely charred on the outside. It's served on a pillow of pureed potatoes, atop a criss-cross of thick asparagus spears and sauced with a tablespoon of luscious peppercorn gravy. Beautifully plated, it was almost too pretty to eat. Well... almost. Tablemates tried seared ahi tuna. Also beautifully plated, the fish is encrusted in sesame seeds and nicely seared outside, raw in the center. It's served with a mound of Asian-spiced veggies. It was gone before I could snag a taste but I take that as testament to how good the tuna was. The souffle would have been worth the wait even if we hadn't ordered early. We tried both chocolate and grand marnier souffle. They're brought to the table straight from the oven, cracked open and sauced tableside with either molten choloclate or grand marnier. Both are outstanding - rich, airy and light. Bistango is not inexpensive but the food, service and atmosphere are top notch.

Amazing! My girlfriend and I decided to come here for date night after seeing the reviews from others. It lived up to its hype. This was one of my favorite dining experiences in a long time.The restaurant is beautiful and the staff were among the most attentive I have ever seen. Our waiter must have stopped by our table at least a dozen times during our meal to refill water and offer more bread and butter.The food was exquisite. Portions are small but my girlfriend and I liked that. I got the Japanese pumpkin ravioli and she got the pan seared scallop Risotto. They were both amazing. For dessert, we got the almond pear tart and profiteroles. We loved both of those as well!The night that we went, there was live music which made the experience even more fun. We will definitely consider coming back here again for another date night in the future!

Beautiful restaurant, just pristine inside. It's sort of cool bc the restaurant is inside of this indoor courtyard and they disguised it so well. Service was immaculate. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. But also the reason for my 4 star rating. Solid dishes with beautiful presentation but the overall flavor slightly underwhelms.Pan roasted Lamb chops: 7/10 Grilled prime Filet mignon: 8/10king Salmon: 8/10Cesar salad: 7/10Chocolate soufflé: 10/10Cocktails: 8/10Definitely recommend trying. Great dining experience.

Amazing food and service! Prices make sense for where you are dinning. I also like the environment but i do feel like it needs a bit of an update in the restaurant. I had the martini which was pretty strong! Overall good experience.

Attended Bistango for their Valentine's day dinner event. All I can say is this was complete Chaos. When we arrived there was a long line of couples waiting to be seated and it was very apparent that they had lost control of the reservations process, as there was a full restaurant of people from a prior seating. We waited 45 minutes past our reservations time to be seated. Everything from that point forward went down hill. It took the serving staff 30 minutes before they even acknowledged our presence, and an addition 15 minutes before there was water on our plates. The server simply did t care. Food was ok, but by this point, our special evening was ruined. We have dined here before on a regular evening, but they are clearly not equipped on many levels to handle a special fixed holiday menu event. I would not return unless they compensated us. It was a terrible experience.

Amazing food. Scallops blew my mind. Service was top notch and all our needs weee meant. Interesting location

So first of all, the food sucks. Our server constantly brought us bread every 5 minutes because I think he knows that...the food sucks too. Secondly, I wouldn't recommend coming here on a weekend actually I wouldn't recommend coming here at all because guess what? Yes. The food sucks. Lastly to bring it home..don't come here. Why you ask? THE FOOD SUCKS. Live music was nice, but the food sucked.

My husband and I had a valentine dinner reservation.It was3 course meal. Steal was salty and over cookedRequest for medium rareSea bass was okBut portion was small than last visit. Price is per person $130.00We ending pay with tips$400. It is not worthy of money.Will not coming back for sure
