Severely blackened chicken parmesan.
Paul S.

After hearing great things about Bistro 424, we tried it for the first time, and our party of four ranged from happy to extremely dissatisfied. It was cold by Florida standards, so we sat inside at a high-top table, where the cheap industrial metal stools need to be replaced with something more comfortable. We ordered dinner with very mixed results: Cobb salad: The fried shallots were beautiful, nice balance of ingredients. (Happiness) Crab stuffed mahi: Another hit. Pistachio crusted salmon. Meh- wouldn't order again. Chicken parmesan. An absolute disaster. The chicken was so severely overcooked to be inedible. The bread crumb crust was blackened to the point of being a solid, impenetrable shield. Had to search out the server to get her attention, and sent the meal back. She asked if I wanted something else, but I asked for another chicken parm cooked properly. It took a while, and I got another try at the chicken - still overcooked, still blackened, but this attempt was somewhat edible. I am not a fussy diner. I rarely send food back to the kitchen. On the rare occasion I have a problem and send something back, someone from the management team wanders by and inquires about the dining experience. That didn't happen at Bistro 424, leaving this review space as the only way to inform management of the significant problems in the kitchen. Final rating: two stars. Some of the food is excellent, but there are severe quality control issues when inedible food is allowed to leave the kitchen. Your experience will vary.

Bistro 424 is quickly becoming one of our favorite casual dining spots near home. I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal or drink here--and that says a lot considering we're currently here for the second time in three days. The servers are always attentive and friendly, and even when the restaurant is busy, the kitchen is clearly well run. Food comes out fresh and in a timely manner every single visit. Most recently, I tried the scampi special and WOW--soooo good. The sauce was absolutely to die for, so much so that I came back and asked if they could make it into a full meal (zero regrets). Other menu favorites for me are the poke appetizer, the meatballs, and the pizzas, which are truly chef's kiss every time. If you're looking for a consistently great meal, solid drinks, and a relaxed but quality dining experience in New Smyrna, Bistro 424 is a must. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Tuesday is Happy Hour Time 3-6 pm enjoying a delicious house martini

I visited Bistro 424 for the first time on Tuesday with a few girlfriends, and we had such a nice experience! The atmosphere was lively and a little loud, but still really enjoyable. We ordered a couple of appetizers to share, and my absolute favorite was the she-crab--it was delicious! Good customer services. The food overall was amazing, and we really enjoyed our time there. Such a nice spot for a girls' night out. I'll definitely be back!

Weekend Special 11/14/25: The Soppressata Pizza

Dined in at Bistro once before, and it was great. So we thought we'd give the pizza kitchen a try for takeout and it did not disappoint. This mildly spicy Italian meat lovers pizza (The Soppressata Pizza) should be a mainstay on the menu. Lucky enough to catch it on the Weekend Specials Menu. We were helped right when we walked in and two other employees at the take out counter made sure we were taken care of even on a busy Friday night. Thanks!

Tucked in Venetian bay, bistro 424 is kind of hard to find but well worth it for the trip Full bar so started off with my ketel 1 dirty martini and candyce had her chardonnay. Done pretty good. When the rest of the group showed up appetizer was bruschetta which was really good. Bread had the crusty style crust but center was soft and chewy. Complimentary rolls were brought out and they were fantastic Main course for me was mahi stuffed with crabcakes with side veggies. Kitchen had mine with green beans but the waiter remembered I wanted spring veggies and brought those out. Waiter did a great job with everyone. The mahi filet was thick and done great. Candyce had the chicken piccata and she really enjoyed it. All around good service, good food and reasonable prices. Great place just out of the way. One of those hidden gems

They made everything good, and took great care of us. Great ocean views. Cool stuff to seeread more

I came here on the Fourth of July, and honestly, you can't beat the location! It's right on the…read morebeach, and it's an added part of the experience of going to the beach and this place is that you can literally walk straight from the beach into the restaurant. So you can spend the day by the water, get sandy, and then head inside for some food without having to completely change plans. The whole place has really fun beachy vibes to it. It felt casual, lively, and like the perfect place to stop in after spending the day by the water. There was live music, tvs, and themed drinks. I also really appreciated that they were open on the Fourth of July, especially since a lot of places have limited hours on holidays. I got the seafood mac and cheese. The seafood itself was fresh, but I thought the mac and cheese could have used more breadcrumbs and a little more sauce. It was still good and filling, but I think those additions would have made it even better and given it a little more texture and creaminess. I will say it's a little pricey, but I think that comes with the territory when you're doing seaside dining and paying for that kind of location. For me, the combination of the food, atmosphere, and being steps from the beach made it fun and still enjoyable. Overall, I think this is a fun spot if you're already spending the day at the beach and want somewhere casual to grab a bite. Being able to walk right in from the beach makes it feel like a quintessential beach-day experience, and the fun atmosphere definitely adds to it.

Chicken parm was great! Husband has gotten the chicken picada twice and loved it both times…read more bruschetta is very good. Server very friendly and checked in with us often. Decor nice; gives good vibes with the inside tree.

I placed a to-go order on Friday, August 7, at approximately 6:15 PM for a large cheese pizza and…read morechicken marsala. I was instructed by the staff to arrive around 6:50 PM for pickup. When I arrived, the restaurant was understandably busy, as it typically is on a Friday night. There were three female associates working at the front counter. One was on the phone, so I provided my name to another associate and was asked to wait until the phone call was completed. Instead of taking care of my order, the staff proceeded to assist another guest who had arrived after me with her to-go order. They accepted her payment, provided her food, and then a DoorDash driver arrived and was also assisted before my order was completed. After waiting, I was finally able to pay for my order. I left a $5.00 tip, but I was disappointed that I did not receive a simple thank you or even an acknowledgment for the delay. Once I arrived home, I called the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager on duty. I was placed on hold and later told that I would need to call back later that evening or the following morning. When I called back the next day, the employee who answered said she could assist me. I explained what had happened and received an apology, but unfortunately it did not come across as particularly sincere or understanding. I explained that this was not the first time I have experienced poor service from the front-of-house staff. She stated that they were working on additional training to better accommodate and thank customers placing to-go orders. I appreciated her taking the time to listen, but based on my repeated experiences, I am not very optimistic that future visits will be different. This is now the third time I have encountered issues with the front-of-house service. The food itself is good--the pizza is comparable to many other establishments in the area. My wife did notice that the seasoning on the chicken marsala was different from what she has experienced at other Italian restaurants. Unfortunately, good food can only go so far when the customer service experience continues to fall short. Our usual Italian restaurant is Caffé Vesuvio, and based on these repeated experiences, we will likely be choosing them more often going forward.
