The service and quality of food preparation are definitely the worst I've had. This place use to be one of my favorite places to dine at when they first opened about 10+ years ago. read more

Bistro 135 - My tab for the worst meal. - Italian Near Me - Tracy, California

Where to start....menu, wow, not even impressed but I am with the audacity of the prices. Nothing less than $20 that sounded decent. We were in the mood for brunch and, yes of course drinks. We ordered two drinks, later to be $43 (no shit only the two drinks). Cream of wheat on the menu....yes gma's best, for over $20 cuz they added green onions and chili aioli. Sorry folks, couldn't even bother to order. Waitress. Okay. Not a career maybe, but come on. 5 tables total. One large group inside, four other small parties, including us. In the 30 minutes we were there, I saw her twice. No selling personality, barely a smile and did not even deliver the overpriced drinks.Did not acknowledge the well-behaved dog. Did not offer water. So many things. I usually only post raves btw. Go ANYWHERE else. Juniors down the street for instance. Friendly, DOG MENU! Water bowls, nice staff, better prices, fully fully loaded Bloody mary for 1/2 the price of Bistro. Smh. Listen, I've been around the world to many restaurants, hands down one of the worst. Just so we are clear, we tip BIG. My husband gets mad at me for over tipping. I believe in hard work and going the extra mile. Will not return. read more

We celebrated our wedding anniversary and it's our first time to visit this place. I didn't know this restaurant existed here, so it is going to be our favorite place here in Tracy. Plus, the lady server is really accommodating and nice too. Food is soooo delicious!!! We couldn't stop saying "its really gooooddd!" read more

The two stars I am giving are because the service was decent but the new menu and food is awful. I went in for their brunch, specifically the chilaquiles that are still advertised online and I've had before. When I arrived I was disappointed to see the whole menu has been revamped to be Cuban x Italian fusion and they actually don't serve chilaquiles anymore. The new menu was more pricey than the last and the food options didn't scream breakfast/ brunch. My husband and I gave it a shot anyways and were both disappointed with our plates. His meal lacked flavor and was dull. The hash browns on his plate were burnt and his eggs were runny. I had the French toast and it didn't have any syrup. We asked for syrup and black pepper and it arrived at the end of our meal. In my opinion, the new menu seems overly forced. The remodeling looks great but I wish the food matched. I'll be making the drive to Monica's in Livermore for brunch moving forward. read more

The food here is AMAZING Expect the food to take a little while, because they're working some wonders in that kitchen. We ordered the chicken carbonara and let me tell you. The flavors were fantastic! We went on a Monday evening and the restaurant wasn't too packed. Will definitely be coming back to try some more dishes. read more

Amazing atmosphere for date night! The food is phenomenal with such a wide range of options. The bar is very nice with excellent service and bar tenders that make exquisite drinks and a great price! Will definitely be back again! read more

Returned to town and couldn't not stop by and eat at Bistro 135. Special thanks to Kenny, Kai, Rachel and the entire kitchen staff. Bar staff is amazing and the drinks are on point as always. read more

I have lived in Tracy for 8 years and finally tried this place! In the past, it's been impossible to get reservations, but we walked right in and seated outside in their cute little patio! My friend and I shared sautéed garlic prawns and steak bites, and that was perfect for just us two! I honestly don't remember the desserts, but they were fabulous!! It was a nice touch that the manager came by our table to see how everything was. I will definitely be back! read more

The service was good. The remodel and new table settings were nice. I gave a 5 star review in 2018 because the food was so delicious. The menu has changed and not for the better. I ordered the blackened shrimp and the pasta was so very el dente that it almost crunched. In November 2024, my sister-in-law and her 2 grown sons from PA visited us for the first time in 35 years. We wanted to go to the best restaurant in town for one of our dinners. Of course we went to Bistro 135. Thank goodness they had not yet remodeled and changed the menu. We had a wonderful dinner and our relatives raved over the food. What happened? Why make such a drastic change in the menu? Why not keep some of the diners' favorites and introduce new menu items? read more

Specific to Brunches 5/4 ($120) morning and 5/10 ($170) afternoon. In 2022-2024 had a few dinners here that were excellent, though been awhile since I had dinner here (previous ownership i think) Was excited for new Brunch place as favorite meal. Very happy reservations taken. See my reviews almost always positive. 5/4 ordered partner and cream/berries wife ordered something and ordered for 1 kid. Food 4* and service excellent, had 3 drinks. Our baby nibbled both times. I liked being able to order bailey's & coffee & a mimosa :-) 5/10 fiancée 2 kids & sister ordered crabcake benedict i think and this is a dish you should not serve unless you have it dialed in which they don't. Crab wasn't fresh and Eggs way overcooked which is the opposite of what is required. Sent it back and she drank 2 cocktails instead as she was bummed. Her and my fiancée were so Hot and this place needs to buy an air conditioner or upgrade. While it was a hot day you cannot make everyone sweat for so long while charging premium $ and also not having a very specific dish (crab) dialed in. I will not be going back at a cost of $210 and $150 (I don't penalize waitresses for mediocre experiences). I went 2 weeks in a row, sat inside and have a general feel for the brunch. While i enjoyed my food, for the cost of the food/drinks and misery of my family with being so hot inside/temperature (this is an infrastructure issue which someome has chosen not to correct; i'm confident this is something that has been reported before) is not worth it. Too many places that do it right, though means i will have to travel out of tracy when not visiting Town & Country Brunch when i can tolerate waiting (no reservations there). read more

This place was amazing! The food, drinks, service, ambiance! Al of it. Highly recommend to try.

I have always been fond of this place, but now that they have a new owner they really took Bistro to the next level. The ambiance alone is a reason to visit, but with a new and improved,w da menu it makes this place the best dining experience in Tracy. 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

Yesterday was Easter Sunday and we made reservations at Bistro 135 for 2:00 pm, for 5 people. This was our first time dining there. We arrived at 1:55 and were seated right away. They brought us water and about 5 minutes later, our waiter arrived to take our order. An hour later (3:00) we were still waiting for our food. Finally at 3:10 they brought our food out. We were a bit upset but the food was delicious. Then the manager came and apologized for our long wait and not only comped the entire meal but gave us a $50 gift card to come back again. This is an example of great customer service and we'll definitely go back. read more

Absolutely worse service. And at the time I visited the dining room was only half full. So it's not like it was overcrowd. Waited an hour just to get my food. Unfortunately there were so many people working here but yet no one was doing anything. Completely unorganized read more

Ambiance is nice but the food was not it. Our artichoke dip came out lukewarm, the Mafungo was bland and the hanger steak was bland too. Nice place if you want to go hand drinks though. read more

We went for brunch. The service was amazing. The crab cake Benedict was perfect along with the chicken and waffles! read more

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

The food was delicious and the service was terrific. We loved the appetizers but the meals were just as good.

Honestly the food is pretty mediocre and overpriced. $27 for a hamburger is insane. On most nights the drinks are also pretty bad. Staff seem to change quite a bit. Haven't seen our favorite waitress in a while and most of the other ones are rude. Won't be coming back. read more

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

Terrible customer service, if you want to have disgusting food on top of the rudest service try bistros in Tracy. All of the servers have attitude and act like they don't want to be there. Never had a good experience. If you're hungry go to the Mc Donald down the street. read more

Great romantic restaurant I had a wonderful time with my boyfriend! Good food, good service and good ambience. Highly recommend!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Honestly I don't remember the food. All I remember is that I made reservations for 6:30p and we did not get seated until after7:15p, and we got our drinks after 30 min of ordering, our food arrived 30m before closing time. I was told that the ice machine broke and it looked like they were short staff. I was there about 3-4wks ago. 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
