Had a great Father's Day dinner here! Sat on the patio which was very cute with a view of the pond to our left. Prices are a little high, but the food was great!! Got the poke bowl and the shrimp salad. Totally recommend for drinks and dinner. read more

"Dessert made the night." La Bistro delivers a solid, comfortable dining experience, even if it does not quite separate itself from the pack. I ordered the 1930's Rachel sandwich with pastrami, Swiss, sauerkraut, and thousand island on rye, served with a side of fries. The sandwich was well balanced and satisfying, with the pastrami bringing a good depth of flavor and the bread nicely toasted, though nothing about it pushed beyond what you would expect from a reliable local spot. The fries were crisp and did their job, but again, more supporting act than standout. Where the meal really turned was dessert. The Tangerine and Ube mousses were easily the highlight of the night. Both had a clean, refined presentation and a smooth texture that felt more thoughtful and elevated than the rest of the meal. The tangerine was bright and refreshing, while the ube brought a subtle richness that rounded things out nicely. It was the one moment that felt memorable. The ambiance leans warm and relaxed, making it an easy place to sit and talk without feeling rushed. Service was steady and unobtrusive, fitting the tone of the restaurant well. Overall, La Bistro is a dependable spot that gets the fundamentals right, but it is the dessert that gives you a reason to come back. read more

La Bistro serves delicious food -- everything we ordered was flavorful and well-executed. The space has a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to settle in and enjoy your meal. Be prepared - the menu is extensive! Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by the service. We felt rushed throughout the meal, with attempts to clear plates while our forks were halfway in our mouths. When asked if there was a time limit to dining, we were told it was a push to seat other guests (We spent about 2 hours dining/drinks). Dining out should feel relaxed, not hurried. I hope management addresses this because the food truly deserves better service to match. read more

A lively place, cozy and yet modern. Looks like there is a nice view from some parts of the pond. Fun menu, something for everyone, maybe not small children. I got the lobster roll. It was amazing. He got the filet minion carpaccio which was delicious. The service was unhurried yet attentive. read more

I had a lovely dinner with a colleague at La Bistro. The menu is super creative - I would try a lot of these dishes. I opted for the Steak Yakisoba and enjoyed the crisp peas and the vibrant pepper flavor. The joint was packed on a Tuesday night, this place looks like a big hit. I wish I could have tried a cocktail, appetizer, perhaps another time. read more

La Bistro - Steak Yakisoba "Wok Grilled Noodles" - Bars Near Me - Cos Cob, Connecticut

Absolutely loved this place. Came for the first time tonight and it was lively for a Tuesday and the staff were super attentive and friendly. Everyone works hard and refills the water regularly--love. The decor is simple but compliments the cute pond outside. We sat in the dining room and I loved the giant light fixtures. It wasn't trying too hard or flashy, which I appreciate. We split the heirloom tomatoes salad and it was delicious and the perfect summer dish. I ordered the branzino and loved the lemon sauce. I think the potatoes could be cooked longer and more roasted as well as the broccoli (a little hard) but everything was tasty and I appreciate real olive oil and no seed oils on my food. My mom ordered the burger and asked to sub out the fries and she got to choose from a salad and picked the Cobb which was so delicious, thick pieces of bacon. I ate half. She raved about the burger as the best in town which is very high praise because she's the pickiest eater I know. The portions were so generous and the prices are great. Not to mention they have a Lady Wong patisserie inside and you can order to go, which we did out of fullness and it was absolutely amazing. Refreshing yet decadent. The entire restaurant exceeded my expectations because of the previous places in that location. We will definitely be back and I can't wait to try more menu items... my mom will be getting the burger again though read more

La Bistro - Chickpea Curry - Bars Near Me - Cos Cob, Connecticut

A true neighborhood gem. This has been a difficult location for previous restaurants, but La Bistro was packed on a Tuesday in August, usually a dead time. And with good reason - wide ranging menu making selection difficult. Everything we had was really tasty and the pacing of service was perfect. Friendly servers, legit bartender, a manager who cares and fair prices. I'm not sure you could ask for more read more

Driving thru town we came across this little gem. Brand new. Packed on a Wednesday night with locals and tourists. Greeted warmly by the host and got a table right away. Had a fine martini with nice jumbo olives. Only had one since had to get on the road. The menu was eclectic and had so many options it was hard to choose. We settle on a fine tuna poke bowl stuffed with tuna and all the ingredients you need. I had a breaded chicken schnitzel, three perfectly cooked pieces under a bed of ceasar salad with a delicious spicy take on the dressing. Even at 27 dollars which seemed high, it well worth it! Wow. I need the recipe how they made the chicken! I've never been able too get such a fine crust. Had to have desert for a little sweet and had the hazelnut crepe cake. Wtf! Amazing. Wish them much success in the coming years. read more

Really amazed by their menu, which is contemporary american but has infusions of asian culture in their cocktails and food. I tried their moonlit whisper cocktail, which had hints of earl grey tea and lychee. Also, their chicken milanese was fantastic, very moist, yet crispy and flavorful. Then we tried their dessert, pandan matcha tart, which was sooo good. Just sad that they ran out of the others. The service here was excellent and they were so accommodating - it was really appreciated. I'll definitely be back, esp to try the other drinks and desserts read more

I finally made it to La Bistro and was extremely happy with my experience. The staff were friendly and we never felt forgotten. My group had cocktails and mocktails, several appetizers, mains, dessert and coffees. All the food was great, but we especially loved the Tiger Mom Chicken Dumplings and velvety hummus. For entrees we ate the Steak Yakisoba, Thai Chicken, and Pork Carnitas - all delicious. And for dessert we had coffee and delicious hazelnut crepe cake which I dreamt about at night. I love the addition of La Bistro to the area and will definitely be eating there again soon. Final thought - This is not a large restaurant, but the owners have made outdoor and indoor seating seem connected by the large windows, and I felt very connected to the people sitting outside, while I was inside. It's a nice touch, and made me feel like I was in a larger space. read more

La Bistro - Whipped Organic Hummus and Tiger Mom Chicken Dumplings - Bars Near Me - Cos Cob, Connecticut

Predictable pedestrian menu, over stated dishes poorly prepared with no respect for culinary tradition. This place enjoys a good reputation undeserving no doubt. Given the elderly customer base it's easy to understand. The give away to mediocrity is the use of the wrong assignment of La or Le . In French, the correct article for bistro is "le" -- because bistro is a masculine noun. Really you can't even get your biz name correct?? read more

1st time and will be back. Great service and friendly. The restaurant is great date place. I ordered the clam chowder and the clams were fresh in the shell. Awesome. Steak and seafood was cooked perfectly. read more

The Caesar schnitzel is delicious I've enjoyed it both at the restaurant and for takeout

Not only is there food terrible they charge a take out charge and don't tell you. You won't know unless you look at their receipt. Staff is not knowledgeable and absolutely question if something is marked vegan or gluten free! I have found most items are wrongly labeled. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the area. Every dish you order from the menu comes out exceeding expectations, surprising you with great favors. My only reservation is about the service. Very slow. Last time I had lunch there, the owner/restaurant manager had to cover for his waitress who seemed entirely overwhelmed. Regardless, I recommend the place. read more

Wow! Just had lunch at La Bistro for the first time and we absolutely loved it! Great food, great service and a really nice yet simple renovation of the space. Can't wait to go back. read more

I took my Wife here for Dinner while we were working in town and so glad I chose La Bistro. We are not easily impressed as we mostly cook at home and honestly most restaurants are overpriced and not really worth it leaving us disappointed. La Bistro is a BIG exception and worth every dollar! The service was warm, welcoming and attentive and the food was absolutely delicious and creative. I had the Schnitzel "Caesar" and I had to stop myself from ordering another...had cappuccinos and a slice of chocolate cake to end the evening perfectly. Had to order Lunch the next day to go and again delicious. Thank you to the folks that run this fantastic place!! read more

We really enjoyed our meal. Nice variety on the menu and all the food was great. Good atmosphere. The drinks and desserts were also great!

Came here as a last minute Mother's Day plan and expected standard French bistro fare...instead we were treated to something far more special - creative and flavorful seafood forward menu, attentive service, and the most perfect lady wong passion fruit cake to finish the meal. Very excited to come back and try everything on the menu!! read more

We've dined here several times , local restaurant, we live in town. We've ordered the steak, seems they aren't capable to capture how its prepared, even though asked. We brought this up to their attention the first time, paid of course and tipped appropriately. Tonight's dinner, steak was well done, again. I spoke to the manager when leaving, asking if I could call the next day about the dinner. Miguel, was dismissive, and said you can tell me now. I told him about the dinner and he responded, if you're not happy with the steak, you can let us know and we will produce another. We were dining with others, and was reminded that the kitchen will close in 20 minutes, as it was the last seating at 9pm. Why would you ask the diner the temperature of the steak, if you're not able to produce? No one wants to deal with the awkwardness of returning an improperly prepared order and making the rest of your party wait. I hope this isn't ownership's view on how to handle customer's concerns as it wasn't handled appropriately by Miguel. read more

This has never happened to me before. BARTENDER BULLcrap I met a few friends at the bar. I was the last to arrive and ordered one drink. I asked for my check in a hurry. I signed it, but then realized he had charged me for everyone's drink. When I pointed out his mistake and said I didn't want to pay for it anyone's drink, he turned to the group and announced that I paid for their drink. (Which made them think I was treating) Now I'm on the spot. I told him that he was embarrassing me. To which she told me to get over it and just ask my friends for the money. It cost me $70 (no tip) for one glass of wine. Why did it never occur to him to correct his error and not embarrass me? He probably thought no one would find out how extremely unprofessional that was. read more

Love this place! They have a cocktail menu but standards are good. Last time I had the branzino - a thin filet but flavorful. Next time I want to try some of their bowls as they looked delish! read more

The noise was so awful. We had to yell at each other across the table. The people at the next booth were actually screaming. Having said that, the service was pretty good, although the waiter couldn't hear us when we ordered and he didn't have any real knowledge of what was on the menu. Having said all that, I thought the food was delicious and a real bargain compared to what other restaurants in Greenwich charge. Plenty of parking out back too, which is a big plus. read more
