Bistro 19

First off, their cocktail menu is fantastic!! Apparently they have a somewhat new bartender and he is amazing and redid the whole cocktail menu! It's super small and there so I definitely recommend getting a reservation. I ordered the caesar salad, which was actually fantastic. Their fries were average. My friends both ordered different salads but didn't love them as much as I loved mine. I also want to note that my one friend is GF with celiac disease, and our waitress mentioned that this place is really not GF friendly, which is why she had to get the salad. She couldn't even get fries :( Overall it was yummy though - i'd come back!

I was excited to try Bristo 19 again it's been a little while since I've came. The place it self was very hot and a little uncomfortable. It was a hot day outside but it was like the AC wasn't on at all. Our server Rebecca was very sweet and newer to the job. She was so friendly and you can tell she was trying to do a great job! She will be a reason we come We ordered some drinks, apps, and entrees. The bar service was really slow and our drinks came incorrect. The old fashioned had a half melted ice cube which watered it down and the dirty martini didn't have olives or olive juice. The apps on the other hand were great the tuna poke had some great flavors and the wasabi peas were a fantastic touch! The special peach salad had all the flavors of summer and would have been a home run if there was a little more dressing. The Chilean Sea Bass was so good but what it was paired with didn't have much flavor but the sea bass was cooked to perfection. The Bay of Fundy Salmon however was by far the best from the sauces to the deconstructed spanakopita. That is a must order.

We had a gift card so we came on a Friday night as a special treat! The restaurant is small and intimate but surprisingly a little loud. Nice decor though. Our service was great, we never felt rushed and the servers and runners were super attentive, always filling up our waters. Our cocktails were both great, The Warthog and Nineteeni. Honestly my Nineteeni was the star of the show! We ordered the tuna poké for an app, which seemed like a weird choice for an American bistro. It was fine. I had the black tiger shrimp and my fiancé had the Chilean sea bass. I think our entrees were good - just incredibly overpriced! $44 for a piece of fish and a pretty mediocre serving of rice and slaw. Kind of crazy! My black tiger shrimp dish was phenomenal and more reasonably priced. Dessert was very good - I think most of it is sourced locally except the bananas foster Napoleon we had wasn't. Not sure would spend my own money there. Giving a 4 because the cocktails and service were so good!

Made reservations on open table. Was seated promptly at our reservation time. The restaurant is small cozy and very busy. Our server was very nice and the water service was top notch I don't think my water glass was ever lower than half empty. The highlight was the French onion soup, it was truly a must get. Everything else was just average. I probably would not go back for actual meals but would go again for cocktails the soup and salad.

This place is rath plane and basic from the outside, but inside it's very nice! Somewhat upscale (cloth napkins, etc), with a very creative menu, and excellent service. Came here for lunch with a coworker and really enjoyed the entire experience, from the food to the service.Their fish sandwich is HUGE, with a fried cod filet on it that's three times larger than the bun! The cheeseburger soup (which was the soup of the day when I stopped in) was creative, tasty and, really enjoyable! Save room for dessert though, they have an amazing dessert menu!I would most definitely return and highly recommend stopping in to try it for yourself!

Such a gem on Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon, where there's no shortage of dining options. The only reasons I didn't give them 5 stars is the lack of vegetarian options. I was vegetarian for many years, but now occasionally eat seafood, for which there were many options. Our server was extremely professional without being stuffy. Just as importantly, she was very knowledgeable about the menu, including which items are safe on my gluten-free diet. I settled on the swordfish special and was not disappointed. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and the lemony sauce was well balanced. Hubby had the pork and also enjoyed his meal. There were seven in our party in all and everyone enjoyed their meals. The cost was definitely on the higher end, but I would definitely return.

Still 5 stars! The fact that somewhere great is open on a Monday makes me happy! Love supporting local businesses. Sea bass is incredible..so glad its back on the menu. Lemon Pepper Calamari is really nice and lightly fried. The caper aioli is beyond addictive. Also suggest Bananas Foster Napoleon

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and had a great grilled vegetable wrap. I added chicken and got the side of fries too. The fries were so crispy; loved them! The service was quick and attentive even though It was a little short staffed with only one waitress and the bartender. The inside looks somehow modern but slightly dated as well. It's clean and comfy inside.

We had reservations for 4 and they sat us right away!This is the definition of bistro, small and cozy and amazing food!I mean incredible!We had the lamb meatballs to start they were perfect!Perfectly prepared with a delicious sauce.I had the salmon which was fresh and perfectly done with a pea risotto!My party had the tuna, the chicken and the duck and we all shared!I love this place!The service is amazing with a great wine and drink list also!

I think would set this restaurant apart from most, or at least in my experience with our server Julia. She was very knowledgeable about each item and took the time to explain and answer questions. The food itself was very delicious, we ordered four entrées in total. The Chilean Seabass or the stuffed tiger shrimp were tied at the table. The ambience was very cozy and I would definitely recommend coming here for a birthday or date night.
