I found this cute little bistro near my parking garage when I visited Bethlehem for Christkindlmarkt. The bistro is small but clean and the server was polite and friendly. There are plenty of breakfast options and bistro favorites. I chose one of the favorites and ordered a broccoli, cheddar and tomato omelet. It was served with home fries and toast. The portions were filling and the price inexpensive. Definitely a win in my book.

LONGEST WAIT EVER. Avoid this place if you are hungry. It sadness me to write this review BUT.. we tried this place out recently 9/17/22 we arrived before 11 and sadly walked out before 12. After sitting down and mentioning to the server that we were ready to order. We placed our order right away and proceeded to wait 50 for our food to arrive. I'm still waiting for the cup of Hot water i asked for. Our server came back to the table after 35 minutes to tell us that our order was delayed because of a takeout order. And 5 minutes after, a table that was seated 20 minutes after we sat down received their entire order. Considering their party was sat after our and was more people, i have reason to believe that our server didn't place our order and it was only for 2 people. This is a shame and disappointment. We have always been regulars. Our order is always simple and easy to make and never takes more than 15 minutes. Please don't waste your time and money here. The food isn't that great and they have gone downhill since recently. Save yourself the hassle and go to Perkins or another breakfast spot cause this place will waste your time and won't take the effort to earn your patronage.

Garden omelet with turkey and the usual works!

Regardless of what technically tittle this place is known - Blue Anchor or, the later Alexandra's Bistro...same ownership, same moderately-price deliciousness. This place caters excellently to their customers - no frills, plentiful diner eats at pace that reminder your of a typical, Sunday-Funday pace. Ample coffee, waffle-house server attitude...just marvelous. Any of the omelette orders or the monte cristo (check the specials board) will satisfy the most discerning customers. However this establishment is branded, it's been goddamn consistent and goddamn tasty each return trip back. While not on caliber with the Goose or Tulum on 'most-hit-on-return-trips', the Bistro is always a solid breakfast/brunch choice, particularly well-situated for those Sunday-heading-back breakfast-brunch scenarios.

Gyro omelette

This place serves your average diner classics- breakfast combinations like eggs, meat, and toast; pancakes; omelettes; and so on so forth. The food was prepared by two chefs--an older couple--and tasted just like grandma's cooking. This diner imparts Greek influences in some of their dishes, like the gyro omelette I tried. The flavors within the omelette (gyro meat, spinach, and feta) were well balanced and I loved topping off my wheat toast with it and eating it as one bite. The home fries were a bit disappointing because it was quite mushy and I prefer my home fries to be a bit crispy. I was also bothered by the lack of sanitary concern displayed by the waitresses, who are in charge of placing the toast on everyone's plates. I witnessed them handling the toast with bare hands after handling money far too many times. Please have a pair of tongs out there and utilize those instead of using your unwashed hands.

Their art is cool

On a Saturday night on the first weekend in February, my girlfriend and I visited Apollo Grill for…read morethe first time -- finally! We were seated right away in an open format atmosphere with the best balance of light and dark. The bar across from us looked fantastic. What we noticed right from the start is how well the staff works with and for each other to bring guests the best dining experience possible. Maddie was our server. She was kind, professional, patient, and knowledgable about both food and drink on a grand scale. Her recommendations were stellar. I had a refreshing gin and basil martini as well as their beef carpaccio, which was absolutely fantastic. My girlfriend started with their beef stew, which was thick and satisfying. It was so delicious, she almost canceled her entree to have more. She went with the home cooking route and indulged in their meatloaf with green beans and mashed potatoes. Although she loved that as well, half had to come home with her, which made for an excellent lunch the next day. I went with the raw of it all and got their spectacular tuna tartare with asparagus, radish, and rice. Usually, the tuna is cut into strips but this tremendous block of gorgeous fish knocked me out. Absolutely fantastic from presentation to flavor. For dessert, we got their brownie with ice cream and this was all upper level in taste and texture. I would be shocked if their ice cream hadn't been made in-house. We loved our first experience with Apollo and we look forward to our next visit, which is hopefully sooner than later.

Why take reservations if you don't honor them? Allowed too may walk ins and we were forced to wait…read morealmost 20 minutes past our reserved time to sit. Thank goodness we planned some flexibility after the meal before our show started. But the real downer of the meal was Alison. Our server had such an attitude... while the food was pretty good, she was not. The place was also too loud and had no vibe. The bar crowd spilled into the seat area and looked messy. Wouldn't go back.

Coming from New Jersey, the diner capital of the world, Billy's surpassed our expectations. We visited on a busy Saturday during lunchtime and had to wait 15 minutes for a table. It was worth it. My wife ordered Yanna's omelette and I ordered the vegan pancakes topped with strawberries and bananas with a side of sausage. My wife loved her omelette. Lots of spinach and feta cheese. Huge portion of potatoes on the side. My vegan pancakes were made with Almond milk. You have the option of ordering how many pancakes you want to eat. Based upon advice from our waitress, she suggested two since they were big. Good choice. Of course, we had coffee to wash it all down. As coffee snobs, the coffee was very good. The service was excellent and friendly. The prices were very reasonable. Believe it not, this is the first diner I have been to that offered vegan pancakes. For people with dairy issues, this is a great thing. The restrooms were clean which probably tells you the kitchen is clean. There is plenty of parking in a public lot across the street and ample street parking.

Unfortunately, there was a strong cold draft at floor level, leaving our feet uncomfortably cold throughout the meal. The hostess was sweet and greeted us with a smile. The food service was unremarkable. Our waiter was not particularly friendly nor personable. The drinks were a weak start. The red sangria was poor. The bourbon cocktail was an odd mix of bourbon, apple cider, and other elements--an awkward, Frankenstein-style whiskey sour that simply didn't work. Worst of all, both drinks were served in thin plastic cups, which immediately cheapened the entire experience. I ordered the falafel sandwich and specifically requested a toasted bun. It arrived not just room temperature, but cold. I sent it back, and it returned burning hot... the bottom soggy... literally too hot to pick up... with no browning or color change, clearly microwaved. Microwaving is not toasting. At that point, the sandwich was inedible. I removed the bun entirely and ate just the falafel, which was dry and largely tasteless. At this point I knew coming back to this restaurant was a mistake. Food timing was another issue. The dishes took roughly 45 minutes to arrive after the drinks, possibly longer. We were all getting annoyed and what started out well when we first walked in turned negative. I wasn't impressed on my first visit years ago... and this second visit confirmed it. Between the poor drinks, cheap plastic cups, ridiculously long wait (with no explanation nor apology), and careless food execution, there's no reason to return.

My friend and I stopped by late Thursday morning and were immediately greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Our server Nikki was friendly, and the food was delicious. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. I had the daily quiche, while my friend chose the grilled veggie sandwich, and we shared the blinis. The quiche was packed with broccoli, cheddar, and bacon, a classic combo that never disappoints. The sandwich was layered with eggs, spinach, roasted peppers, mushrooms, mozzarella, and Cooper cheese, all tucked into perfectly grilled multi-grain bread. The blinis were crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside, and topped with sour cream. For those unfamiliar, blinis are small, tender pancakes traditionally made with yeasted batter. With its consistently tasty food and inviting atmosphere, Mitzi's remains one my favorite brunch spots in the Lehigh Valley.
