Ishtar Daniels
Bad, inattentive service.
Tom Barrett
Joined friends for a birthday celebration ,drinks and sushi, all the main meals came to the tables. I ordered the ciopinno for my main entree and it made it to the table after everyone else had finished including dessert , no matter how good it could have been it has a bad taste, not sure what happened. First time at The Bistro might be the last.
