Bistro23

On our way back to our hotel, we decided to pick up some dinner so we wouldn't have to leave the hotel again. Based on yelp reviews, we decided to try Bistro 23. To be honest, when I found it, I judged this book by its cover. I probably would not have stopped if it hadn't been for the reviews. It looks more like a store front than it does a restaurant. Inside, there were some customers spread out in a large and spacious but somewhat sterile looking dining room. But she went inside to order, while I walked around with the dog outside. Pig in the Woods Pizza - 5 - Probably one of the best "Personal-size" pizzas I've ever had. The crust was tasty and not too thick. Ham was good, as were the mushrooms. The arugula on top was a bit wilted after a short drive. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not but it did not hurt the quality of the pie. Caesar Salad - 5 - She was very pleased with her salad. Dressing was on the side so the lettuce didn't get soggy.Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Basil Soup Combo - 5 - She ate 1/2 hot and the other half cold, the next morning. Tiramisu - 5 - Light and fluffy!The menu is small, but they do it quite well. We would not hesitate to return for another go!

Having driven by Bistro 23 countless times, I was happy to be able to finally stop in. The best part of the visit was the friendliness of the staff, but the experience is a bit weird. Each table is numbered, and you place your order and pay at the counter before you're seated. After you've ordered, they assign you to a numbered table, and point to where it is. Seems weird to tip before you're served, especially with this sort of twist on fast food table service.The food itself was OK. Nothing noteworthy, but nothing particularly bad. Portion size is small. Bottles of water are provided, presumably to prevent staff from having to keep an eye out and bring water to patrons (convenient, yes).Interior is bright and clean, but noisier than expected (loud patrons at another table).If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth stopping in, but I'd not go out of my way for a return visit.

Came with my mom and ordered at counter with a man that acted like he could give a rip if I was there or not. No thank you.. no appreciation or friendliness. Not a great start.. Asked for a lime wedge for the water twice, chicken came out not fully cooked and totally different than described on menu. My burger was meh at best and was charged extra charged to swap out the grilled onions for an allergy. Sent back raw chicken and asked to replace with burger to go. We were over the silliness. Including tip, $45 for two mediocre burgers with waters to drink? Nope. I can get a stellar burger elsewhere for 10 dollars, they get it right and actually act like they appreciate I walked in the door. The snob factor in any restaurant is annoying, but this little place? Please. Get over yourself. Also... hood vent in the kitchen needs to either be turned on or perhaps you need to have it looked at. Part of why we bailed early was the whole place filled up with smoke as it got busier for dinner.

Great farm to table spot. Counter service, but they do check on you through. Despite how bust they were at the counter, they got us drink refills when they walked by and we didn't have to stand in line. since their menu is fresh, they do run out of things, but they were quick to let us know before we ordered anything. I think I could eat their broccolini everyday and never get tired if it.

I visited the restaurant on the recommendation of a local. It was 4:30 PM on a Tuesday and there was NO ONE in the entire huge seating area. A helpful man took my to-go order that was ready in less than 15 minutes. That's about it.

Very nice restaurant with pleasant staff. The pig pizza was very good, the goat cheese was a nice touch. The split pea soup was hearty and very good as well.

I get maintenance on one of our cars at the place across the street (Double-J), and decided to meet a friend here for lunch while I was waiting for it last time. Location-wise, it's in a weird place. It's a pretty busy street, and there are no other restaurants around. However, if you are looking for something around here, don't hesitate to pop in here. They have a nice outdoor patio seating area that has a fence to insulate it a bit from the road. Service was friendly. And the food was good (not great). I had a personal pizza, and it was a solid lunch.

This is what I would call a hidden gem! This place deserves more recognition! I love their sandwiches, salads, and pizza! Service is always good, the staff is always really nice & friendly. I recently went back since I heard they put their grilled cheese & tomato soup back on the menu. It is phenomal! Just a basic grilled cheese & tomato soup but done right! The tomato soup is so delicious & creamy & grilled cheese, crispy on the outside with melted gooey Gouda inside. Restaurant is kind of cozy, great place to catch lunch with some friends. I need to go back & try their entrees!

Came here a few months ago and liked the place but didn't LOVE it. Last time I said the pizza crust was too thick. I don't know if it is too thick or just not a "next level" amazing crust. Not sure if the dough is hand made and fresh. Toppings are really good though. I ordered The tiramisu for dessert and they make one of the best tiramisu's I have ever had! Staff here is impressive. Very friendly and proactive, which is nice to see. Pizza came out piping hot and right to my table. They waited to bring me the dessert and brought it over as I was eating my last pizza slice! I didn't have to ask or go to the counter, they kept an eye on me and brought it at the right time! Good food and a staff that has attention to detail! If only the could get that pizza crust right, they would have had 5 stars!!!

We have the pizza and the brick chicken and they were both excellent and would not hesitate to come back to here to eat again
