In this corner of the USA it’s a bit of a challenge for those of us that follow a plant based diet, but Bistro Maison made the effort and fed... read more us well! In particular a rainbow salad of beetroot, orange and mango, amongst other things, was a winner! The non-vegan food being served looked great and went down well with our fellow customers. Great ambience and staff.

We enjoyed a dinner one night after a day of wine tasting. Our seating was in a private alcove on the front porch of the Bistro Maison. I selected the... read more petite salad with mustard vinaigrette dressing. It was delicious and large enough to be shared. For my main entree I went iwth the coq au vin which is cooked with pinot noir, leeks, mushrooms, carrots, and potatoes. For desert we shared the chocolate dessert with cherry ice cream. The ice cream was smooth and full of cherry flavor. The bistro doesn't serve cappuccino which is a little strange for a European restaurant.
The service was a bit spotty, It took a while for us to be attended to and for our water to be filled. One of the servers was a bit unpolished and touched our serving dishes versus using the handles appropriately.
Tip: The servers change constantly so you will not have a single consistent server during your dining experience.
