Bistro So

A place where you're feeling comfortable with great food, little French touch, and a lovely lady boss. As a Belgian/ French cook... must say there is still an opportunity for some more finesse...but you will find here the best of the French/American cuisine. 👍

A French bistrot that has made itself a community institution, Bistrot So occupies a fantastic corner, there is almost no better place to take in the neighborhood while enjoying a meal, anytime of year. The menu classics like the steak au poivre will keep you coming back, and still there are always seasonal specials: beef bourguignon, raclette, duck. The staff is beloved by the neighborhood, so between the atmosphere and food, be prepared to enjoy yourself.

We had dinner on Valentine's Day so we ate off a special limited menu. Food was good - we would have liked to have tried the standard menu. Our waiter was good. Although the host/owner didn't think so, the 'garden' room was very cold the night we were there. Our small group all kept our coats on all thru dinner. My ankles and butt were cold too. Some cushions on the hard, cold metal seats in the garden would be appreciated. (There are a couple of heaters in the garden room but not enough of them.) The front room looks charming and we look forward to returning and sitting in the front room and trying the usual menu.

Visiting from out of state, we had some time to kill and stumbled into this bistro by chance. It's a good size, possible to fit a larger group if needed. Cute decor. Festive for the holidays. As we were just two people, we sat at the bar. The staff was very kind and made a killer espresso martini. We shared a breakfast plate, a type of eggs Benedict, and it was cooked to perfection. The owner was there, working, and she was extremely kind and spoke with us for a good bit. She is from Nice, France and it gave my partner a chance to practice his rusty French. We stayed for over an hour having good conversation with the owner and bartender before trying the delicious creme brulee, and then heading out to do our shopping. We hope that we'll have a chance to visit Bistro So again the

We had an early dinner so it wasn't packed. The food was delicious. The camembert fondue was good. It was very cheesy and plentiful that we weren't able to finish it all. The mushroom risotto was my favorite. Super creamy and rich! My boyfriend got the beef bourguignon which was also delicious and filling; he wasn't able to finish it all. Everything was very rich and filling. The service was great. There were no fans or AC where we were first seated, so I was uncomfortably warm. Thankfully, our server moved us to a cooler area and turned on the fan for us.
