I will say that the dining setting matches the food produced by this place. I've not lived in Tracy very long but have tried some restaurants and this is the place to eat. The shrimp appetizer, the artichoke dip, the macaroni and cheese all are spectacular. I've now eaten dinner and this week lunch. Let me tell you about the Parm chicken sandwich. Amazing!!! The chicken was hanging out of the side I could have made a whole other sandwich!! The he sauce is amazing , the cheese was melted perfectly. The chicken was crunchy yet moist. The tomato sauce perfect balance of acidity and tang. Everything I've tried here is well seasoned and I'll be returning again soon. I have heard issues with service but until I get bad service I'll keep coming here. read more

Not too many places in Tracy where you can enjoy freshly prepared food made daily with the ambiance of an upscale restaurant. The owners are usually there on weekends and are always interacting with people, glad Tracy finally has a place where everyone feels welcomed with homecooked style dishes made with love. read more

Amazing food and service! First time visiting and this restaurant is really a highlight for Tracy.

Such a delicious & creative brunch menu! Thank you Jared & Annalise for taking care of us for brunch! My family had an amazing time! Drinks were delicious, and every item we ordered was 10/10!!! Chicken & waffles, the Power Couple, Cinnamon French toast with cream cheese filling, the scones with gravy, Sopa with carnitas, Empanadillas - everything was delicious! Service was great. We'll be back!! read more

This used to be my go to spot for a girls or date night. Since they renovated and changed the menu I don't think it's the same quality it used to be. I got the carbonara and it was dry and too peppery. I used to love their sangria and it's also changed, it tastes like a Christmas drink now. I'm also bummed that they don't have their focaccia bread anymore! We also got the potato croquets and the portion was so small yet it was expensive. It also felt like our waitress was rushing us a bit, in passing I heard her say "hurry up girls". But we still took our time. Unfortunately I won't be coming back. It was better before the change! Also forgot to add that our reservations were for 7:00 pm and we didn't get seated until 7:20-30ish read more

The food was amazing, from the appetizers to the dessert it did not disappoint. Chicken piccata was so so so good. The dessert alone/pineapple tres leches alone is good enough to come back. Mind you we live a good hour away but the service, food, and vibe was enough to bring us back. read more

It's been few years since I went to this restaurant with my friends. I used to come here even during Covid. They used to have a great happy hour menus. Also they used to make pasta noodles but I don't think so by dining there yesterday. This restaurant is very small and busy. I highly suggest to make a reservation. One great thing is now the restaurant is open on Monday. A lot of locals still don't know the restaurant is open on Monday, I was very disappointed after I went back to this restaurant since I moved to Texas. The Bistro was one of the only fancy Tracy restaurant with full bar menus. Maybe they got super busy and can't keep up with fine gourmet dining. Now their pasta is over cooked noodles( pre cooked) everything seems greasy and creamy greasy pastas probably cooks in the stone oven with other items, instead of cooking on demand. Most of their menu items are greasy. Their salads have cheese for most of them. What if I don't like cheese? Also the cast iron shrimp was used to use much bigger shrimp and now they are small also their happy hours are downgraded to only 25% off from only shareable items. Service was very efficient to turn tables around however. I felt like I was in a rush and the server was lousy. It is not at the diner. She maybe experienced but she should not be the server at the fancy restaurant. Awful. This restaurant was one of the only fancy trendy restaurant in Tracy. Very sad to see this restaurant gone hill. However the city of Tracy has few options maybe they are ok like this. The menu needs definitely improved for lighter healthy options. Currently only offers stroke and high cholesterol friendly items. I was sad. Their alcohol beverages have great options. The truffle fries again it's deep fried items ( bad for you) was my most favorite here. Is management and chef changed in last 3 years?! I have dined here at least 10 times before. It is sad to say last night was my last time. read more

OK, First let me start this review with I have been coming to Bistro for years. I always enjoyed their food and drinks so much. They were always amazing and the staff here have always been and continue to be absolutely amazing. I recently went here (December 6th) and had a much different experience. I am a creature of habit and tend to get the same thing whenever I go. My son is also a super picky eater, so I am always so thankful to get him the pizza. Last time I went, they had a new cook. I went with my whole family and none of us were impressed with the food. It was definitely lacking the original taste it normally has. Not only this, but they have since gotten rid of any pizza. :-( . My son will not eat anything on their new "kids menu." He ordered the Mac and Cheese, but it really was awful... I would like to go back again soon just to see if they were having an off day, but now will no longer be able to go there with my son as I know he now wont eat anything here anymore. Please bring back the pizza! lol. I am really really hoping it was just a fluke day...but who knows. Normally, its amazing, but my whole family was really disappointed in our last trip here. With that - the drinks are always perfect and just the right amount to keep you coming back for more. I enjoy the whole ambiance and location. I really realllllllly hope it was a one off. Thank you! I will update whenever I get a chance to go back...... read more

Service and vibe are top notch. Food is excellent also. Cubano egg roles are excellent. Arroz con Pollo was cooked perfectly and delicious. Tasty bar drinks too! read more

Food was ok. A little too salty but good concept and plating. Service as great and friendly. Drinks were amazing. I got a flavored mojito and arroz y pernil. My kids were also not impressed with the food. Was really salty but thats an easy adjustment the kitchen can make. The concept, environment and vibe are all nice. I would dine here again but maybe I would ask them to go lighter on the salt read more

Bistro 135 is our favorite restaurant, we spend all our date nights there the food ,staff,& ambience are amazing

Bistro used to be our go to restaurant for any family celebrations or even just a night when we wanted a nice dinner. Before the renovations took place we started to notice that it was going downhill, the service wasn't as good and the quality of the food wasn't what it used to be. Recently, I decided to give their brunch a try, my first visit since the renovations. The vibe is very different now, it almost feels like a club atmosphere. We used to take our kids with us but I'm not sure I would now. The service was slow. While the biscuits and gravy were good, it was served cold. Also, I think if you're serving brunch you should have a "classic" breakfast on the menu. Hopefully Bistro sees some of these reviews and takes them into consideration. read more

Every meal is absolutely amazing!! The creativity in the recipes and menu is well thought out. The food is plated with love, which adds to the experience. Every staff member is well-committed, extremely friendly, and very attentive. The restaurant was beautifully remodeled recently with wood slate walls throughout. The gold utensils and deep round plates are a cool touch to the dining experience. I can't wait to come back! I am so happy that Tracy has top-notch restaurants like Bistro 135! read more

Great Food. Nice ambiance. Great place to check out on a date night. Will be coming back. read more

Bistro 135 - Steak & Shrimp Mofongo - Italian Near Me - Tracy, California

The restaurant changed ownership. Different menu. More expensive. Food did not taste fresh. The sauces, rice, seasonings were salty, meat was dry, overcooked, tasted like it had been sitting on the warmer for a while. read more

It looks very nice inside! The food was pretty good and I really liked the drinks that I had (white chocolate espresso martini and some Jameson and kiwi drink) the arancini was really good and my husband liked the salmon he had a lot. Everything was great except for the seating. We came in around 4:45 and they had reservations for all of the tables and the bar was already full so we were sat up against the wall on the long narrow table. It's a very awkward spot to sit in and the height of the chairs wasn't great either. We felt like we were in the way and squished in to the table next to us, I also overheard them say the same. I wish they could add in more tables or something instead of the seats against the wall which seem like an after thought and made the overall experience less enjoyable read more

Great place ! Especially with the new owners and management!! Good place to take a date or close friends and family!

Celebrated my birthday here today and we enjoyed ourselves. The owner (Lex) came to our table and talked to us about a few hiccups we had. I was surprised when he came to our table saying he overheard we were having issues. He inquired about our issues and asked how he could make it right. We weren't looking for anything except our food to be served correctly. Once our food was delivered it was delicious and worth waiting for!!! He spoke with our servers and then offered to make it right. Lex was very personable and easy to talk to. Our servicer J-Lo was awesome!!!! She was ball of energy and took really good care of us. I will definitely be returning soon!!!! read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around downtown this morning. The staff was absolutely amazing! So friendly and attentive. They had a great DJ playing who was playing all the best music. On top of that the food was the best we've had in town so far. 100/10 recommend this place. On Saturday and Sunday, their DJ Jay spins during brunch. All around best food and vibes! read more

I was recently having dinner at the Bistro, and I had a very unpleasant experience. Want to start off by saying The kids mac n cheese is posted as "hand made", I've ordered the mac n cheese before for my kids, and I can tell they served my daughter Kraft mac n cheese this time. Which is unfortunate when your paying the amount we did. I also must have sat next to a owner, as he kept talking about how Tracy thinks of him as a villain, thinks people of Tracy are racisit towards him. I've never been in a establishment where someone that works for the business talks so openly about this. I was just trying to come to have a nice meal with my family and I was stuck sitting next to this man go on and on about himself. I see that it's a common theme that people are disappointed with this place, and I feel like its for a good reason. Unfortunately I will never be back. read more

Another amazing meal at Bistro 135, Best restaurant in town! Great service, excellent food, the salmon was outstanding paired nicely with lite sauce and veggies. Hubby had the Sous V crispy chicken, fantastic crunch, flavor, juicy and tender Always a marvelous experience !! Thank you Bistro Until next time read more

I recently ordered takeout from Bistro 135, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. Despite specifically asking for bread with my order, none was provided. The wait time was much longer than expected, which was frustrating, especially considering it was just a takeout order that was placed over the phone. Also the portion size of the pasta I ordered was quite small, especially for the high price. It didn't feel like good value for money. Given these issues, I think I would try and dine in instead one day . read more

Food was AMAZING. One of the better bistros I've been to. Highly recommend the food. Service was a little slow as the place was busy. Probably not fair to complain? Servers were VERY hard working and thoughtful though. Felt they were over worked? read more

Went for lunch today and everything was delicious!! Jelani was our server and she was amazing! Food and vibes were great! Will have to come in and try their dinner menu. read more

Straight up, food was too salty all around. Food looked great, but the taste was not the best. The waitress Kaiana was so rude and gave everyone in my party dirty looks multiple times. Shoutout to the water boys though because they were filling up our waters. They were the best, no lie. They should be waiters instead. The water was refreshing. If you're looking for some good food, I would recommend Chapter 2 across the street. read more

Bistro 135 - Water - Italian Near Me - Tracy, California

My party and I had a reservation for 6pm and we waited 20 minutes for a table! The drinks were good, but the food was not. The parmesan risotto was overloaded with so much salt and the charcuterie plate was average! Our server was probably having a bad day because she gave us an attitude towards the end of our meal. She gave us a cold tone when she asked if we were ready to pay! She gave us a judgmental look when we didn't want any boxes to take our food home. I won't be coming back. read more

Went back again to grab some dinner for our anniversary. This time I wanted to try their pizza, last time I had chicken. We started with a Caesar salad that we split, added some fried zucchini as well for an appetizer. Salad is sooooo good, zucchini was good too with some ranch sauce. For my dinner I had the Donovan's Combo Pizza, but I did add bacon and removed the onions. Pizza was pretty big, full of flavor. You can just taste the char of the oven on the crust, so good. My wife had the Chicken Francese, she absolutely loved it. The veggies, the chicken, everything had flavor. We love it here. Service was on point and the place was super clean. One of Tracy's best for sure. read more

This place is a gem, literally! Apparently they recently remodeled it and it has one of the most amazing floors I've seen in a restaurant. The food is amazing!!! It is the best in a 50 miles radius! They also have some nifty craft beers. I haven't tried their cocktails but they look like artwork themselves. Overall this place has amazing service and food. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality they offer. I look forward to my next trip to Tracy! read more

I have never had polenta fries.... Oh my goodness.... They are top notch delicioso. My Sister had the gnocchi with mushrooms and they were delicious. Also our server pronounced gnocchi correctly and it was music to my ears. I am taking beginning Italian and I loved the. Vibe. My steak tacos were so delicious. The bread they give you is soft and flavorful. Next time I want a glass of sangria because the amount of liquor that is in it sounds outstanding in a good way. I had to make dinner a quick visit so today I just had tea. She refilled my glass three times and was always smiling and informative. It was just a pleasant Tuesday evening. Thank you so much. read more

I ordered the chicken parm pasta and it was very low quality. Chicken was hard, felt like it was cooked frozen, and the breading was soggy. The pasta it came with was very disappointing, it was undercooked and the sauce was not one bit of impressive. Tasted like canned sauce. read more

Bistro 135 was great however with the new owners they have stepped up their game to the next level. They have revamped everything from their menu to their seating.
