The concept of Le Bistro is based on fresh, organic, local ingredients prepared à la minute. The flavors and the inspirations are all from the south of France. The menu changes daily as well as seasonally. From overseeing the deliveries of the morning markets, Chef Jean-Paul instantly starts designing the dishes for the day. Since opening, both Chef Jean-Paul and Kathleen have been working side-by-side, allowing you to feel the spirit of France. The food, the music, the atmosphere and the mood of the chef, are all authentic.

I fell in love with Le Bistro! I was the best meal I have ever had in my life. I am a French American and I have been to France many times and this restaurant beats my Grandmother's cooking and any restaurant I have been to in Paris. Thank you this wonderful treasure. I have been telling everyone to go!

Pros: It is romantic and the food is phenomenal!

Le Bistro is by far one of the best restaurants in the area. From the minute you walk in you are warmly greeted by Kathleen and then the experience begins. We've had lunch and dinner there many times and have never been disappointed. I own a catering business and I've been in the food industry for many years. I believe I know good food and that's what Jean-Paul gives you. From begining to end the presentation is impressive and the freshness of the food is amazing. Even a simple salad for lunch is beautifully presented with a balance of textures and flavors that complement each other perfectly. The service is excellent and not intrusive. In fact we noticed that our water glasses had been refilled and we never saw anyone do it. Kathleen and Jean Paul make you feel right at home and part of their family. We now celebrate every wedding anniversary there and we recently invited 20 of our friends for my 50th birthday and treated them to an amazing dinner, with a different wine for each course personally selected by Jean Paul. And you have to have dessert, sinfully wonderful and decadent. But I never leave feeling so full I can't move which is a horrible feeling. Instead I leave very satisfied and relaxed because you're never rushed, you're allowed to enjoy your meal because it isn't about turning over tables. And if you enjoy High Tea, this is the place. All the breads, fillings, desserts (chocolate mousse, lavender brownies and so much more) are made from scratch. Everything is beautifully presented and they have excellent French Champagne. It just doesn't get any better. I urge you to call Le Bistro and book a reservation, you won't be disappointed. It's not what you think French food is, heavy sauces etc., it's fresh tasting and wonderful. Even the water is beautiful and great tasting. And ask for Jason, he's my favorite food server.
