    Recently tried the new Fall beverage menu which I included a butter pecan beverage! While this is one of my favorite flavors, the drink was a little too sweet for me, but I think any fall girlies who like sweet drinks will love it - and it was so unique! Great place to take a breath while kiddos are shopping for books.

    Really enjoy their food and I love sitting by the window with a view of the lake with ducks and swans. Their soup of the day is always great. The servers are very friendly. The food is typically a little on the slower side coming out. It's great that it is attached to such a wonderful book store!

    Adorable little bistro tucked inside the coziest book store. Very reasonably priced and the food was very good. I tried the Kentucky Hot Brown which had a mornay sauce. I've never had this before but would compare it to a béarnaise sauce. It was delicious I just wish there was more of it! I couldn't leave without dessert so I got a piece of peanut butter pie to go and it was surprisingly amazing. In all honesty it didn't look like anything too special but it was heavy with peanut butter flavor and very rich!

    I have been to Joseph Beth so many times throughout the years but last night was the first time I ate at the cafe, Brontë's Bistro. It was later in the evening on a Saturday (around 8pm) and there wasn't a wait for a table. The cafe is roomy and spacious and there were probably 10 other tables occupied while my friend and I were there, all in various stages of dining. The menu mainly consists of sandwiches and burgers, although there are maybe 8 entrees to choose from, some salads and 3 appetizers. I would have liked to seen a little more variety in the options. My friend and I both had the crab cake sandwich, which was two crab cakes with remoulade, lettuce and tomato, served on a croissant with chips and a pickle. It was tasty but not something I would make a special trip to the restaurant for. Our server wasn't too attentive and we waited awhile for our check and refills. All in all, the Bistro was okay, but I wouldn't make a special trip just to dine there.

    Best Peanut Butter pie ever!

    Awesome little spot in the back of the bookstore! Great patio with awesome water views of the pond! The service was incredible and the food... ooo the food.. so we drove down from Cincinnati to go to the red river gorge.. glad we stopped here on our way back! We started with Fried Green Tomato's loaded with Cheese and bacon( umm need I say more?) then we had the fish sandwich and Hawaiian Jerk chicken... then to end the splurge, we had the best and creamiest peanut butter pie ever!!... like serious I was too full but couldn't stop eating it!! There was not one thing that was not just amazing! I will return to try more!

    Nice small restaurant inside the bookstore. I especially enjoy seating near the windows that overlook the duck pond. I will admit, I usually only dine here when I receive a coupon (these come with the loyalty plan). The menu does not seem to change frequently. The salads and sandwiches are good. Sometimes the servers can be hard to catch for condiments and refills, but you can get a quick meal here that you will enjoy.

    This place is much better than a restaurant inside of a bookstore has any right to be.

    A group of us went here and asked to be seated in the pasta room. We learned while we were there…read morethey would not be making pasta until later that day, so that was disappointing. But the food was so good! I had been there once before, shortly after opening, and thought it was so-so. But the 2nd visit was a much better experience. Since we had a large group, we sampled each other's dishes and everything was delicious. The burrata appetizer was really good. I had the "make me something sweet" mocktail and it was pretty and tasted refreshing. Our server was top notch and explained every dish on the menu, and gave us recommendations. He really took his time with us, and you could tell he was a pro. More excited to return after this second visit than after the first! 11/26

    First off, wait staff was very nice. Drinks from the bar were okay, definitely not the worst…read morechocolate martini I've ever had but definitely not the best. For our appetizer, we had the beef tartare, it was also just okay. We didn't even finish half of it. The star of the dish was the rye crisp, unfortunately. For our entree we had the baked rigatoni and the pork tenderloin. The pork tenderloin dish was delicious and so was the rigatoni. That was a plus. It was extremely loud in the restaurant. Be prepared to yell at your table partner. Between the amount of people talking loudly (I assume to attempt to talk over the loud music) and the music, and being seated really near other people, having a conversation was difficult. So don't go with anyone who is hard of hearing with background noise (my husband lol). Food took a little longer than what I'd prefer to come out. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and decorations were cute.
