Jim's Bistro

This place was recommended by some friends. They always order the beef stroganoff and mentioned the food was superb. My bf and my friend ordered the beef stroganoff…it was just okay. I ordered the veal and risotto. The veal was pretty good, the risotto was undercooked and bland. I loved the basket of breads, that was pretty good but I wouldn’t come back for a basket of breads. My overall opinion: overrated

Spectacular little place with a great atmosphere. We went on a Friday night at 7 and we're really glad to have reservations because it was packed but we were seated right at the reservation time. The service was top notch and that's not easy to find anymore. The whole meal was great from start to finish. Free breads to start and the cinnamon bread is bomb... So was the spinach artichoke dip appetizer. I had the lasagna and she had the mushroom ravioli and we both really enjoyed the meals. I've heard about this place for years and upset I hadn't been sooner. I'll definitely be back!

Food is delicious and elegant. Portions are healthy. Such a great vibe to relax and have a great Cocktail.

Not a first time visitor here. They're very consistent across the board, but if "it's not broke, then why fix it?", right? We had reservations so we got seated right away. We chose outside on the front patio, but won't do that again for a couple of reasons: 1) With all of the traffic (foot and car) it was loud and distracting for my taste. 2) The front window to the establishment has a reflective film coating to keep the west-facing sun from frying the patrons inside. I can vouch that it works because the heat coming off of the glass was overwhelming. Service was average for a restaurant of this scale and caliber. Everyone was very nice and seemed to enjoy their work. I received the wrong beer and they tried to make it right but I just went with it. The table was sticky all the way around

Never got around to writing a long overdue review of this great option in the Heights. They have a really varied menu, from sandwiches to steaks. Everything I have had has been good. Last time was the rib and roasted chicken combo - it was fantastic and plenty for another dinner. The ribs are the "melt in your mouth with lots of sauce" kind, and the chicken was amazing. The service was really good. Yes, it can be loud. I was glad we had always made reservations for dinner, as it can be busy. Only glitch: no decaf coffee. And they still haven't fixed the exhaust so you do leave with that food smell on your clothes. But worth it!
