Quite little place decorated in a 50s theme with a nice sound system playing oldies. There is a small aquarium with cute fish! See photo. I watched them while I waited for my to go order. When I first entered I noticed a table that looked full of uneaten food but no one sitting there. It was a bit bizarre and I think it might be to show you some of the food on offer. See photo. I ordered the Italian beef wet sandwich with peppers. It was made fresh and was tasty. Recommend if you are in the area. Good place to stop if you are hiking and one of the open spaces.

When I opened the door to what I thought was the restaurant, I wasn't sure until I looked around inside. Now that I found the place, on to the food! Combo Sandwich Best of both worlds, Italian sausage topped with Italian beef. I added hot peppers to mine and this was one amazing sandwich! The flavor from the sausage and the beef combined, and individually, was awesome. I loved every bite of it and can't say enough about the flavors. The bread was hearty enough to hold it all, yet still soft and chewy. I really liked that. Chili Cheese Fries When these arrived at my table, they weren't presented how I was expecting them. I'm used to chili cheese fries served with the chili and cheese on top of the fries. No utensils were served with these, so I ate them as I thought they were intended...as a dipping dish... The fries.. well, I wouldn't go out of my way to get them.. They were served somewhat lukewarm, borderline cold. Shoestring fries that were very limp and not crisp. Now, to the best part of this item. The chili. The chili tasted outstanding! I really loved the flavor and it had a nice meaty consistency. The cheese sauce was unique and was really good as well. This wasn't your typical nacho cheese sauce. It had a different, slightly elevated, flavor profile that I couldn't place. Overall, some really good food here sans the fries. Great beef, sausage and chili. I would definitely come back for some more of the deliciousness!

We were seated right away, and our waiter was incredibly attentive. He introduced himself immediately, took our drink and appetizer orders, and kept checking on us throughout the night to make sure everything was perfect. As for the food and drinks: The Wine: The Pinot Noir was absolutely delicious. The Main Dish: I ordered the Sausage and Peppers pasta, and it was incredibly tasty. The Atmosphere: I noticed they added a new deli area which looks great, and the restrooms were exceptionally clean and upscale. One of my favorite parts of the visit was reading about the restaurant's family history--it is so interesting and adds such a special touch to the place. By the end of the night, I left completely full and feeling like I had just left a dinner at a family member's house. We will definitely be back!

This guy in an intimidating voice said to me, "You are looking for who?!!!" He sounded very rude and looked very bossy. Another hispanic-looking guy came to me and directed me to sit. I did, but the bossy-looking guy, kept on looking at me like he is annoyed by my presence. I just decided to leave because having that guy in a seemingly good restaurant like this did not come to me with positive vibes and I did not feel like being there. I left the restaurant, called my friends and told them we should meet somewhere else where we would get warmer and positive welcome instead of being welcomed in an intimidating way. Too bad for me I did not get to try the food here. Well, maybe next time.

Needed more brie and was a little on the sweet side for my liking.

One of the highlights is definitely the dessert tray--it's next level and always tempting! The atmosphere and service have consistently been positive, which is why we've continued coming back. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that during our last few visits, the pasta dishes seemed to have more tomatoes than pasta. It may have just been an off experience, and we're willing to give it another try because we've enjoyed it in the past. Overall, a good restaurant with great people and some truly outstanding desserts.

Bistro 13 serves high-quality food at reasonable prices, and the service is attentive. The decorations are minimal and the view is mostly of the neighboring restaurants, but the setting is professional and perfect for a business-casual lunch. We walked in for an early lunch at 11:30. Our waiter Jesus was talking on the phone with a customer when we entered and didn't immediately acknowledge us. However, he hung up after a couple of minutes and asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We chose outside since it was a nice day, as it is on most days in Southern California. All the tables were empty, and he told us to pick any one we liked. Seeing our hesitation, he suggested a table in the shade. This was a good idea, as the day was getting warmer. I got the grilled salmon in a butter and caper cream sauce, and my colleague got the sautéed chicken breast in a lemon caper cream sauce, served over capellini pasta with sautéed vegetables. Both dishes were delicious, as expected. We also got cappuccinos, which were very good. Overall, Bistro 13 continues to be a reliable choice for good food, reasonable prices, and attentive service. We will be back.

The ambiance is typical fast food restaurant with a bunch of booths on the perimeter and tables in the center. Serve yourself soft drinks. Very clean. They have a bunch of lunch specials each for $11. I went with a small sausage pizza and a small garden salad. The garden salad was really fairly big with lettuce, onions, tomato, cucumber and carrots. Really good. The pizza won't win any prizes compared to the pizza you can get in a fancy Italian restaurant. But for fast food pizza, it is tasty. And the food comes on real plates and silverware, not paper and plastic. Nice touch.

Once we were finally seated, the experience didn't improve. We weren't checked on to see if we needed anything, and we noticed other tables being offered things like cheese and drink refills for their food while we weren't. The owner also made his way around the restaurant speaking with other guests but never acknowledged our table. Even as we were leaving, there was no "thank you," "have a good night," or acknowledgment. I can't say what the reason was, but the difference in how we were treated compared with the people around us was noticeable enough that both the experience and the atmosphere felt disrespectful. The food was good, and I wish the service had matched it. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

All of the orders came out together and correct - not a small feat with a party this size and everyone altering the way the food was to be prepared. My wife and I shared the wedge salad to start ($17). Huge portion and loaded with the typical wedge goodies. Delish! I ordered the salmon pasta special for my entree ($45). Also a huge portion loaded with large shrimp, lots of salmon, olives, tomato, and more with a delicious red sauce. Fantastic dish. And way too much to eat at one sitting (reheated pasta dish for dinner tomorrow!). My wife had the chicken Toscana ($35). Grilled chicken on a pasta with marinara and cream sauce. Excellent!

For me, the food was mediocre. 23 bucks for a burger and fries and the shrinkflation was clear. But the drink prices more than made up for it. I'd have to try a few more things to get a better picture of the food but if the burger doesn't slap out of the gate it's not always the best sign.
