Bistro 44

This place has a couple of specials that were awesome. They have a Sunday burger special and an early bird special. The group I was with enjoyed their meals as did I. Service was good and the price was fair.

Maybe this place could be OK if you are a "regular". However, it was our first visit. We sat at the bar and were completely ignored by the bartender. She didn't so much as acknowledge our presence. It was mid-afternoon and the place was not busy at all. After 14 minutes, we just left.I guess business is so good for them, they do not need new customers. So, our advice to everyone: STAY AWAY FROM THIS RUDE GROUP OF PEOPLE.

So our visit to the Bistro was very 50-50. The ambience was nice and the servers were very kind. My French onion soup was delicious but my fish tacos were very bad. It had zero seasoning, not even salt. The fish was fresh I could tell it was fresh fish - but it tasted awful and so bland. The veggies were the same- zero flavor. The other thing that was a disappointment was the bathrooms did not have a changing table so I had to change my son in the car. You would think going into 2025 all restaurants would have at least one Koala Kare changing station. I would only want to come back for the French onion soup since it is hard to find good French onion soup.

I came with my normal group of friends a few weeks ago - a group of 8. This restaurant has been around a long time and yet you really don't hear much about it.I think maybe they downsized it over the years, because it seemed much smaller than I remembered it. We were seated inside and it was very busy. It was very loud, and the tables are tightly packed for maximum capacity.Our server took our order quickly and efficiently, as we had a few late stragglers.The drinks came out quickly. Some had cocktails, some water, and some of us wine. Our food orders also came out quickly. I ordered the Mediterranean chicken pasta, and it was delicious. The chicken was overcooked, but the pasta was not, and the pesto sauce was flavorful.The serving size is plentiful, so I took more than half home and had it for dinner the next day.The prices are reasonable for the type of ambiance. This dish and two glasses of wine came to about $55.A group gratuity was added to each of our bills, but our server was so wonderful that we all gave her a little more.

The service at this restaurant was excellent. Our server was very attentive. The ambience was casual and comfortable. I ordered the brazed ribs with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus was phenomenal. I enjoyed the braised ribs and mashed potatoes.

I hadn't been here in several years, so this was a treat. We were the first ones to arrive for lunch that day and had our choice of tables. Our server was friendly and answered all our questions. As time progressed, it got pretty busy. Our server was the only one for the entire dining area, she was also the hostess, the cashier, and found out she'd also helped in the kitchen cooking! She apologized for not giving us better service, but we all thought she did a fantastic job in spite of how super busy she was. I chose a cup of French onion soup and it came loaded with lots of onions and delicious cheese melted on top. I rarely order a wedge salad because I don't like to pay so much for a piece of iceberg lettuce with a few toppings, but this one sounded so good and was more reasonably priced, so I tried it. First of all, it was a HUGE wedge. And it was loaded with lots of dressing, blue cheese crumbles, tomatoes, and bacon bits. It was delicious and I was pleased with my selections. I'll have to remember to go there again before so much time passes! I've heard their half-price burgers on Sundays are yummy, so that might be our next visit.

Lunch before, dinner now. Our hostess was so warm she reminds me of a summer breeze. The ambiance felt dewy due to the typhoon that's coming, but it relaxed me. Most importantly- the food and drinks came at the perfect time and hit the perfect spot. Server did his job impeccably there's nothing to complain about. 4.5 stars. I'll be a comeback kid.

Great menu and friendly staff. Definitely recommend! Outdoor seating is nice. Great ambience.

This place is fantastic. The food is delicious, I recommend the braised short ribs and the brownie a la mode. The people that work there are so kind and patient. I will definitely be back!

We waited for service, the server was busy picking up dirty plates. Ordered a lemon drop martini, it was horrible Never got yo order a meal. Left disappointed and drove to Zona 78.
