We visited Reardon's Fruit Market and Garden Center and saw this Bistro across the street and decided to try it out for lunch. What a gem!!! We had a conversation with the owner who has degrees in Food Science and Culinary Arts, and is passionate about "changing the world with food." The inside is cozy, inviting, and meticulously clean. There is a small bar area and an area of table seating. Outdoor seating is available as well. The bistro is known for one of its appetizer small plates of deviled eggs. The owner said that the recipe for the eggs is one of the few things he is not wiling to share! Employees and patrons have drawn pictures of deviled eggs that are displayed on a wall space. I opted for the grilled chicken Greek salad. Greek salad is a favorite of mine and I have eaten it from numerous restaurants. By far, this was the best I have ever had. The artful presentation, fresh ingredients, and decadent flavors were a real treat. The chicken was so tender and again, the flavor bloomed in my mouth. The owner brought out a small serving of homemade peach ice cream that had been made the day before with fresh peaches. I simply have no words for how delicious it was. I will let my husband describe his experience in his yelp account, but I will say that after having salmon the night before at an 'upscale' restaurant in Louisville, he commented that the salmon at this bistro "blew it away!" People often say "I will return and try other menu options," when in fact they do not follow through. That will not be the case with us, we both agree that we cannot wait to return! read more

My wife and I were in Crestwood, KY visiting a local nursery just off LaGrange Rd and spied the Crestwood Bistro across the road and decided to stop in for lunch. Once again we found an absolute GEM of a spot just out kicking around. In conversation with the owner we discovered that he has degrees in both culinary arts and food science. His blended knowledge in these areas contributes to exquisite dishes. My wife had an exceptional Greek salad w/ chicken while I opted for a mixed green salad with grilled salmon; easily the finest piece of fish I have eaten in Louisville. It was grilled to perfection with a spice mixture of his own creation which he would not divulge! At the end of the meal we were severed a sample of his homemade peach ice cream. If you prescribe to the old adage that eating out is about the food not the upscale expensive vibe than this place is it! We will be back again soon! read more

Needing a quick lunch after visiting Yew Dell Gardens we stopped in at the Crestwood Bistro. It's not a huge place but service and food were very good. My wife and I ordered a sandwich with pasta salad. No French fries or chips here with a sandwich. The pasta salad rivals any I have had and a refreshing change from the tired , old fries. Both of our sandwiches were top notch. My only complaint is that there are only 3 or 4 parking spots and getting in and out on the road can be tricky. Otherwise it was a nice find. read more

Tried this casual, friendly bistro in Crestwood and left genuinely impressed. We were warmly welcomed the moment we walked in, and the staff stayed attentive throughout our meal. The space is spotless, comfortable, and inviting. My friend and I both enjoyed our dishes--my special of the day, a ham and cheese panini with house‑made pickles, was excellent. I'll definitely be back. read more

Crestwood Bistro - Special - filet - Salad Near Me - Crestwood, Kentucky

Stopped by here on a recommendation from someone working a retail store we were shopping in. We had the deviled egg appetizer (do yourself a favor and just get them), and a turkey and Havarti Panini with a side of pasta salad. I could make a meal out of the pasta salad alone. The flavor profile is amazing. We will definitely be returning to this place. Can't wait to try more dishes. And they have crème brûlée, which we didn't have, but you know I'm going back to try. Comfortable cozy seating inside and very clean. Friendly staff. read more

The food is outstanding, as was the service. We were there for dinner on Tuesday night and was busy but quiet and conversations were able to be had. We will be returning to explore more menu items. The schnitzel special was had by the majority of the table and the grilled chicken salad with peanut sauce was a delicious main meal salad. read more

Great spot! Comfortable, friendly but professional staff and great food! Can't wait to try more dishes here

Small place but Great food and service. Love that they buy local products to produce their food.

Lived in Crestwood for 20 years and excited to see a elevated menu at Crestwood Bistro. I have had several people recommend over the years and never right time to try. However, I would not recommend. Ordered a pick up order which said would be ready in 30 min. I arrived and I waited an additional 20 min for food. They must of just let it sit back in kitchen, it was luke warm like sitting under a lamp. Paid $50 for a terrible meal, they do not know what risotto is, they literally cooked some rice which was raw through some cheese and chicken in it. My spouses burger was not hot at all!!! Stay away. read more

Yum! We stumbled across this restaurant and were very happy! The owner and chef is very nice! It's small and quaint inside. The food is delicious! We had the deviled eggs and they were amazing. The best I've ever had! I wanted the veggie tacos but they were out so I got the tacos Al pastor. They were delicious. I loved the addition of the goat cheese. A great lunch place! read more

We stopped by to eat here for the first time. The service was amazing and the food was actually very very good. Definitely worth giving a shot if you are in the area read more

This reminds me of the wonderful bistros in France. Real food, well balanced flavors, executed with care and skill. Most of the reviews mention the deviled eggs. These bear no resemblance to deviled eggs from your church picnic. It was deliciously surprising to taste what the chef has made this usually humble appetizer into...a bite of silky mousse packed with flavor and contrast. The entire menu features similar magic - simple titles that do not adequately describe the final dish transformed by the chef's skill. read more

The $17 Cuban was small and I can make a much better one at home. The stuffed mushrooms were inedible. Ordered a vodka and tonic and they had no limes and based on the taste, not much vodka either. The prices are outrageous for this well below average food. read more

I wanted something healthy, fresh, & flavorful for lunch. I got the Salmon with zucchini and rice carryout. When I called to order I got to speak to the chef he helped me decide what to get & explained the dishes. He curated the most delicious flavorful salmon, rice, and zucchini dish I've ever had in a carryout meal. The meal was a little pricey yet worth it. The portion size was generous. I was able to eat this for lunch for two meals. The restaurant is inviting, clean and comfortable. My order was ready when promised. read more

Ate lunch with friends here today. My second visit, my friends first time. This place is a hidden gem. It is so cute inside. Service was excellent. Seth provided great suggestions. The most fabulous deviled eggs and roast Brussels Sprouts. The hot brown was delicious: well balanced and not overly heavy as so many places make it. We shared bites so I can vouch for the cheesecake panini and grilled chicken salad with peanut sauce. Finished up with the banana foster explosion. So much flavor!! read more

Quaint Restaurant with excellent food by Chef Tim who owns the restaurant. We love the deviled eggs appetizer, salads, salmon, juicy burger, fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken, hot brown with mornay sauce from scratch, and the homemade banana dessert to name a few. The chef is often found saying hello to us if he can sneak away from cooking. He takes great pride in his restaurant, and in his cuisine. The menu has a nice variety and he changes it up to keep things interesting, and often has a special entree to serve. It is open from lunch through dinner usually Tuesday-Saturday. Crestwood Mercantile down the street is another quaint Crestwood find. read more

Fabulous food! Great service. They have the best deviled eggs!!!! Very personable. I'm coming back!

I wanted to like this bistro, I really did. Lots of good reviews online and word of mouth but it fell extremely short of those expectations. First, I gave it at least two stars because the deviled eggs and the children's grilled cheese was actually decent. The rest was subpar at best. Where to start?... We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and deviled eggs for starters and the eggs were good but the mushrooms were horrible, they tasted off, dry, and old. Main dishes were the Flini Marinara, Al Pastor tacos (one of the small dish options), house salad, and grilled cheese (kids). The Flini meat balls were bland and the sauce was over seasoned with spices. The Al Pastor tacos were also bland. The house salad was okay, the dressing was good and no brown lettuce, which is a plus. The hardest part to swallow was the price: Main dishes are over $20 each and the appetizers were also around $12-15 each and you didn't get much for those small appetizers. Just to feed 4 people - only one had the salad - and the two appetizers was ~$150 with tip, no drinks, just water. I am not someone that tries to find problems and reasons to leave a bad review. I feel bad doing it. I had to this time because of how bad the core food was and the cost. read more

This place is worth the drive to Oldham County! Nestled right by the tracks in Crestwood, it is a hidden gem in our county. I have been wanting to try it for awhile. Had I known what I was missing, I would have gone early! I enjoyed a late lunch of a Garden Veggie Panini with pasta salad (included). The pasta salad had the perfect amount of dressing and was packed with fresh ingredients. The pasta was perfectly cooked. The panini, although a little soggy on the bottom, was filled with fresh ingredients and a mild sauce that didn't take away from the flavor. The website showed to call to order for pick up but there was also an option to order online. I will be back...and it won't be long! read more

We discovered this place when we moved here from California and make it often. Great food, Great conversation, and Great service. It's a MUST. Conrad (Dr. Jim in "Tremors") read more

This is a quaint little spot that I've been wanting to try for a while. The parking lot and restaurant are pretty small and in turn if you plan on dining in the restaurant reservations are highly suggested/required and the safest play to make. My son and I ate here on a Wednesday night and I called that afternoon for reservations and it was not a problem. The food was delicious, I had the Shrimp and Grits and my son had the Hot Brown. I had the Banana Foster Cheesecake for dessert. The only reason for three stars is because of the portion sizes, we both left hungry and as described in another review, the dessert was a tiny square but vary tasty. I've seen the lunch reviews and I may try back for lunch sometime when the portions will be closer to what I'm looking for. read more

The Smoked Salmon was fabulous. Highly recommend it. Actually everything was exceptional, but we all agreed that was "lecker"

Traveling in the area, and looking for a local place for dinner. Menu here looked interesting so we gave it a try. Food here was excellent. I had the Greek chicken salad. Homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing was particularly good. Chicken was well seasoned and tender. My husband had the small plate tacos. Very tasty! Got to talk with the chef/owner. Clearly committed to serving fresh, locally sourced food. You should give this place a try! read more

Just moved here from California, had a chance to stop by Crestwood Bistro as it's down the street from my house. It's in a nice intimate setting with a good hometown feel. Ordered the deviled eggs and Cheese steak Panini and it didn't disappoint. The service was excellent and it was affordable, truly a hidden gem in Kentucky. read more

Great food and service. I had the grilled vegetable panini and pasta salad. Both were excellent.

This is definitely one of the best places in Oldham county. Had the risotto and it was amazing. My old fashion was fantastically strong and not watered down. Highly recommended. read more

A truly hidden gem! We went on a night when chicken tikka masala was the special and it was killer! We also ordered the Alfredo, you could tell it was made from scratch and the peas were a fresh burst of flavor. We were with several other people and they raved about everything they ordered. The restaurant has a very intimate feel. The chef Tim is the man! He came out and spoke with us for a while and told us some awesome stories. Bonus tip: buy the seasoning he sells. Great on veggies and good on just about everything else. read more

My husband and I enjoyed dinner at Crestwood Bistro for the first time tonight, and you'd better believe we'll be back! I ordered the grilled salmon with basmati rice and zucchini planks. It was absolutely delicious. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the rice was seasoned beautifully. My husband enjoyed a 3-course meal featuring a taste of Thailand - pork spring rolls, Tom Kha soup, and chicken and seared scallops pad Thai. It was hands down THE BEST pad Thai we've had since moving to the area three years ago. The service was outstanding, and the chef and staff were all incredibly friendly. We loved the all-around vibe of the place. I think we've found our new Friday night dinner spot. read more

AMAZING! We stopped at this cute little cafe on our way through town and we're so glad we did! We were quickly attended to. Everything on the menu looked so good. It was hard to decide. We chose the deviled eggs (to die for!) house salad (very fresh, colorful and topped with bacon - yes please!) and the grilled steak panini that came with the most fabulous roasted Brussels sprouts! Since our lunch was so flavorful we couldn't bypass desserts and miss more decadent flavors. Since they come in individual servings we chose 3 - the chocolate cake, bananas foster cheesecake and the cherry goat cheese ice cream. Heavenly! read more

My family and I were really disappointed with the amount of food served relative to their prices. The Cuban sandwich and rice and beans were a hit for my husband. The salmon salad for $19 was unimpressively medium-sized with a small piece of grilled salmon. The chicken salad sandwich with pasta salad was lame too. We shall never return!! read more

Second time at "Crestwood Bistro" for dinner yesterday, but certainly not my last. This place is a gem and needs to be recognized!! Chef/owner is amazing and so glad he came out and talked with us. So very impressed with the menu and quality of all food. We had appetizers to share, amazing meals all around and delicious little desserts. Everything is made with care. He really wants his food to matter and it does. I'm still thinking about our meal. I would put this up there with any high-end restaurant in Louisville. I truly loved everything about this experience! We will be back! If you are looking for a nice place for great food and service in a small comfy atmosphere this is it! read more

This quaint little restaurant served some great food! We split an appetizer of the deviled eggs, which were delicious.

The service was friendly and fast and at one point we were the only customers in the restaurant. read more
