I went to le bistro For a nice date night. They had the entire menu labeled for allergens specifically gluten-free. We ordered the crabcakes which we were so excited to be gluten-free. After I had already eaten the crabcakes the waiter told me that they were not gluten-free. The manager then proceeded to blame me as a customer, threatened us, and kicked us out of the restaurant. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Continually, the owner who has responded to this review was not even at the restaurant when the incident happened. She is going off what a maniac worker repeated to her. Bad business read more

Le Bistro - Here is a photo of the crab cakes that were labeled gluten free and keto when they were neither. Do not go to this restaurant. - French Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

Always love the food here. The chef is a saucier so the flavors are well balanced and subtle. Quiet but friendly, the chef is the real deal. Classic cuisine by a trained chef. read more

We frequent the Ft. Lauderdale area a lot and were looking for something new and different other than the usual spots along Las Olas or the beach. A quick Yelp search brought us to Le Bistro. At first we were a little confused regarding parking, as there is another restaurant in the same strip mall that has valet. Make sure to look for their own spots reserved in the evening with signs and cones. This seems to be a common thing for smaller restaurants when parking is limited and they don't have valet. The restaurant is small with a limited staff, but our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. We had the mushroom soup and the goat cheese salad for appetizers. Both were full of flavor and good portion size. For entrees, my wife had the trout special, and I had the Steak Diane. Both were excellent choices and prepared well. I must say the NY strip steak was one of the most tender pieces of that cut I have ever had. I also tried my wife's trout and it was full of flavor and tasted great! We weren't fans of their dessert choices, but we are somewhat picky with dessert and since we were full from dinner we didnt want to take a chance on dessert if we were just going to pick at it. Overall a great choice and we highly recommend if you're looking for something different and isn't a chain restaurant. read more

Great food and service. Wife is gluten free and they too care of us great. Will come back if in town.

We were happy to find the rare French restaurant in South Florida. The fish was cooked perfectly, Yellowfin Tuna. My girlfriend's Tar-tar I believe, was excellent also. The appetizer was amazing. It's a quaint little place, but not too small (most French bistros aren't huge). Very polite staff, pleasant area. I would recommend this restaurant. They're consistently good, we would just like to find more around Florida. Thank you! read more

Wow. This restaurant is so beautiful and ambient from the moment you walk in. Our waiter was so friendly and guided us through the menu and the specials. The dishes are all so creative and delicious. I ordered the cauliflower steak and the scallops creme brûlée as an appetizer and the shrimp risotto for my main entree. It was absolutely delicious. They were all so amazing and they portions are not your typical tiny size. We left with left overs to go. They have an extensive wine list. Ask for a recommendation! The waiter is very well informed. For dessert I got the creme brûlée which was outstanding. The service makes you feel at home. I am definitely returning and bringing friends and family. read more

Absolutely amazing... the food and the service are superb. We are from Miami but were driving by and we saw the reviews. Considering how good the food is, it was surprising to find that there was no wait. Thank you again! read more

Celebrating our daughters birthday, We enjoyed EVERYTHING. Just made a new reservation for a celebration coming up July 1st We were there as a family of 5 and we all ordered a different entree and passed tastes around. It was fun, and super excellent. The steak Diane, lamb chops, mushroom rosetto were favorites and all vegetables were super fresh and very tasty. I'll keep this review short, but I must say we "cleaned" all of our plates and did not have room for dessert. I Highly recommend this restaurant. We love French food. read more

The food is amazing! The best restaurant that the neighborhood has if you know about good food.

This place is really nice and quiet but not pretentious at all. Service is good. The food is awesome from the bread and olive oil, scallops were over the top delicious. Then the main courses salmon was perfectly cooked and the short rib was very good also. Finally the desert short bread fresh whipped creme and fresh berries. Coffee was standout excellent try this place it's a great place don't be in a hurry. Good food takes time! read more

The temp of the meal was spot on and exactly how we asked for it. The service was excellent: attentive, inviting, intuitive, & timed correctly. We also had the escargot which was AMAZING and made me reminisce of Paris. Créme brûlée for dessert was perfect. The place is family owed and they are so lovely and appreciate the business especially now. The staff wore masks the entire time and adhered to COVID guidelines. Quite a lovely experience read more

The dine around brought us to this restaurant for the first time we were five. We ordered water with lime or lemon. The waitress said there would be an additional charge of a dollar for the lemon or lime as it cost the restaurant money. We agreed to pay. When she presented us the bill she said she did not charge us for the lemon wedge. The escargot was delicious the lamb appetizer was okay the main course was not well presented but tasted okay The fish was good but the lamb was just okay, The desserts were fine. There were no linens on the table and paper napkins. We agreed the meal was not special and would not return. read more

Wait person was not really welcoming. Informed us that lemon is very expensive and she would have to charge (5 ladies--1 lemon). Ended up not charging. However this left an unpleasant feeling in all of us some of the food was excellent and some just par. read more

Spetacular food!My husband and I love everything of this place!The beef wellington is just amazing I can't forget to mention about the best creme brullé. If you are In Florida you MUST to go to Le Bistro. read more

I ordered a complete dinner for my wife's retirement celebration. I picked up the order and it was ready as scheduled. The owners could not be more cooperative. They gave me instructions for warming each dish. The instructions were so complete and easy to follow. It took only minutes before we had the first course on the table. We started with the escargot that was very fresh and the garlic butter sauce was perfect. We had several main entres. Again the instructions were quick and simple to follow. My wife and daughter had the beef Wellington that had a wonderful flaky crust with the most tender fillet and cooked perfectly. The lamb chops were again awesome and cooked perfectly. The steak Diane was tender and the sauce was delicious. All the sauces were done true to a 5 star French restaurant. Of course the deserts were as good as the meal. It is amazing that you can have a fantastic French dinner as a take out but LeBistro made it happen. Sorry for the long review but I was totally impressed as a foodie I have eaten at great restaurants in Europe including France as well as many here in the States and say this is a fine dining and I will go back to enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant.

I now give this restaurant no stars. Not based on the food. It has everything to do with how we were treated over one dish. The chefs wife continued her personal attacks after I posted the review. It is she who has removed all desire within me to ever give this establishment another chance. The food was fine. We just found one dish, out of the many we sampled that night, to be something that simply didn't taste right. The chefs wife is the one who left a bad taste in our mouths. She likes to blame the customers. Because surely nothing is wrong or ever goes wrong in her restaurant. She attacks the credibility of her customers. What happens after I tell ten people who tell ten people, what happened that night? read more

First time and excellent dinner at Le Bistro at Lighthouse Point. Restaurant month menu was delicious, we had the truffle potato with chorizo and roasted summer carrots, canadian trout salmon, saffron risotto, fuji apple tart and couverture chocolate. Service was wonderful. Loved the cozy atmosphere. Definite recommend! https://www.lebistrorestaurant.com/fort-lauderdale-restaurant-months read more

Everything about this restaurant was amazing!!! The good was phenomenal! The service was impeccable! The ambiance was outstanding and the chef was an absolute doll! Such a great environment! I would recommend this place over and over again. You are paying for absolute quality. Perfect date night. My party had the steak Diane, the lamb, and the lobster. All of it delicious. We had the 4 desserts and my personal favorite was the creme brûlée and the apple tartar. Don't walk. Run! This place is 5 stars all around! read more

After seeing this restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares, I was a bit skeptical. Did they really turn this place around? After reading positive reviews on Yelp and elsewhere I thought I would give it a try. We started off with the bee pollen goat cheese. I thought it was artistically presented, and the combination of the cheese, chives, almonds and honey worked very well together! I noticed a lavender taste which was interesting, unexpected but not in a bad way. Next was the beef wellington. It absolutely melted in my mouth! It came out quickly and medium rare as promised. I loved the wine sauce used with it, it added a really nice flavor! We finished off with the brownie and ice cream which was also very good, and drisselled with plenty of chocolate sauce! The service was actually really quick also! The beef wellington was supposed to take 30 minutes but it came out quicker than that. We never had to wait for anything really. I would love to come back and try other food there. read more

I loved this little bistro. It reminded me of my favorite French restaurant in California, where the entire staff was legit from France. The food was prepared perfectly and very authentic. I had steak au poivre, which was excellent. The best I have had since we left California. My husband wanted some things off menu which they were very happy to accommodate. It is a little pricy, we did not have alcohol or dessert and we were at around $90. But, man... the authenticity! It was worth it. We'll be back for sure. read more

I'm very late on this review as I came here for Thanksgiving dinner. Since it was just me and my boyfriend this year, and I don't eat meat anymore, I figured going out to dinner would be our best bet for him to get turkey and me not to have to deal with a dead bird. I researched a bunch of restaurants when Savanna M mentioned that she had received an email from Le Bistro with their Thanksgiving offerings. I looked it up and was pleased to find that they were offering traditional Thanksgiving meals as well as a vegetarian option. I was also pleased that I was able to make my reservation through open table. The reservation was for 7pm Thanksgiving Day. We arrived and entered the restaurant. It is pretty small inside and I definitely wouldn't recommend coming without reservations. The entrance area is very small and I was uncomfortable waiting for them just to come up and greet us and get us to our table, I can't imagine if you had to wait there for any period of time. This restaurant has a very quaint feel, and on the inside you feel like you're in a small house up north, definitely not a South Florida vibe, but it was cozy for the occasion. We placed an order for a bottle of wine, and decided on our meals. The menu was three courses for ~$35 a person. We both started with the autumn salad. This was a delicious salad with cranberries, almonds, green apples, blue cheese, and a dijon dressing. I've been trying to recreate a similar salad at home since then, and I just can't seem to get it quite as good. For the entree my boyfriend went with the traditional Thanksgiving dinner while I went for the vegetable plate. I loved the green beans and creamy mushrooms on the veggie plate, but the main item, an acorn squash stuffed with sweet potatoes left a little to be desired. I think I wanted the squash a little more cooked for some creaminess. I also wish they had traditional white potatoes as my boyfriends meal also came with a sweet potato. The cranberry sauce was good with a nice tartness and not too much sugar added. My boyfriend was very happy with his turkey, and he also had the green beans and mushrooms I did on his plate. Dessert was up next. I ordered the pecan pie as it is one of my favorites, but waayyyyy too much sugar for everyday life. It was quite delicious with a really nice crust. My boyfriend ordered the apple tart and pastry in that was great also. The service here kind of went along with the atmosphere. It wasn't a five star restaurant service feel, but more like a homey feel where you could see the staff bringing the food from the kitchen and the owner stopped by to chat and see how things were. With the bottle of wine and tip our Thanksgiving dinner was less than $100, I didn't have to deal with a raw turkey, and I didn't have to clean up. I also didn't have pesky leftovers tempting me in the fridge for a week after while I'm trying to diet. I was pleased with the meal, and I would love to come back and try their regular menu. They keep vegetarian and gluten free diets in mind, but also prepare some serious meats as well, so there is something for everyone. read more

Never again. Very price.did not mind that. Service good to fair. When we had just finished desert. They ask us to move to a make shift bar. We had a party of 9. Easy to figure $100.00 a person. With tip over. NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL WE GO THERE. read more

Deerfield Beacher's, I highly recommend this place. The menu is almost entirely locally harvested produce and meat and much of it is organic as well. The portions are not over-the-top huge, which allows diners to savor a three-course meal and not walk out waddling to and fro like at a lot of other places in central Florida. I was thoroughly impressed by the Cream of Mushroom Soup, one of the best I've ever had. Chef's Beef Tenderloin was exceptional as well and you could cut it with a dull spoon it was so tender. Please support this local business which has been serving the community for over twenty years- you won't be sorry! The menu prices and wine prices are excellent as well. read more

OWNER CALLS MY REVIEW FAKE!!! THEYVE CHANGED THEIR RESPONSE LITERALLY 5 TIMES DELETES SOME AND POSTS NEW ONES HAS DIFFERENT PEOPLE ASWELL. You guys are known even on tv for being rude and disrespectful. Not even a upscale eatery. She first said "SORRY" Then deletes the response. I then get another response months later saying sometbing completely different. Now that's gone and now she just says "this is flagged for a fake review" They are insane!! WORST UNAUTHENTIC FRENCH RESTAURANT. OWNERS ARE IN A DELUSIONAL STATE about how they act to customers and how they think there food is. Owners wife had made 2 responses to me and deleted them. Owner is a crazy maniac. Never was I offered any type of fix for this terrible dinner I had there. I would've paid $250 just to not have the opiod addict server and owners wife ask me if I was ready 100 times. They think there restaurant is something it's not. It's a inexpensive French restaurant with terrible service and mediocre food. I came here with my 2 if my friends to eat dinner. I've ordered DELIVERY HERE through delivery services over 15-20 TIMES. All the delivery orders I have placed here easily exceeded $1000. Upon arriving they acted like it was some crazy exclusive restaurant. Although it is a very average French restaurant. They were extremely rude acting like we weren't going to order anything. They repeatedly asked us every 5 minutes if we knew what we wanted or if we didn't want anything... We asked to move to 2 tables or move to a bigger table so we can have more room since we order a lot of food. One of our guests ended up leaving due to the small table and did not want to eat here w the way they treated us. They said we have to pay a fee for table clothes the money wasn't the problem although the PRINCIPLE... They really must me STRUGGLING to charge a table cloth fee. The waiter had bags under his eyes so huge looked like he was on OPIATES at the time. The owners wife and waiter must have asked us at least 7 times what we wanted. Couldn't even choose what I wanted with them constantly asking if I was ready. I asked to see a champagne list I was ID just to look at it which I did end up looking at. Although morning was appealing. Owner is crazy locals in plaza were explained to me as well saw how insane he is on KITCHEN NIGHTMARES. Got a response from the owners wife saying sorry and to contact her through yelp for assistance. Suddenly it is gone and I get a response from someone named "Ellen" who was not even there the night we dined. Her response was rude and had lied in it. Whether you do or not charge a table cloth fee Ellen your server as well the owners wife tried to charge us one. Your comment about our is very disrespectful especially considering "underdressed outfits were at least $2000 a piece each of us. Food was alright spent thousands with you guys was treated rudely because I look "young"??? That is discrimination. Really stupid on there side considering I would've ordered at least another $1000 worth of food on delivery as each order always exceeds $100 and 10 order goes by fast. This is not a very upscale restaurant not expensive $50-$150 or so per person they act like it's nasr et or la nouvelle.. Went out for a meal last Friday at Makoto was about $650 per person and was not as dressed as nice as I was at le bistro. They and you guys need to get your stuff together before you guys are out of business. read more

We've driven past this restaurant a few times and then realized that it won at the Garlic Festival-again! So when our anniversary came by we had to try it. I did a little research and was very impressed with their website! It includes all kinds of information, full menu and wine list. Their menu is pleasantly seasonal to highlight the freshest ingredients. We had started with the "Bee pollen goat cheese" appetizer and it was such a refreshing opener with it's fresh endives and lavender, d-lish! We followed up with "Chicken `n dumplings" and the day's special of "Beef Bourguignon" which were both impressive. And for desert I couldn't resist having a freshly torched creme brule. I've traveled to France many times and can honestly say the flavors were deliciously authentic and very reasonably priced. The thing I was most impressed with was the gluten free menu options. As a Celiac this is huge for me and is why I researched the restaurant before we even thought of going. French cuisine is always a concern for Celiacs because of it's traditionally flour based recipes. As it turns out, the Chef-owner's wife is also Gluten Free! GF items are clearly marked on the menus and the staff was fully knowledgeable. Needless to say we'll be back again! read more

Good food. 5 stars Price 2 stars Atmosphere / decor / ambiance 0 stars It's a little too quiet in here. Music should be played for a better atmosphere. Coming again ? Probably not. Recommend ? Yes but with warning on price and atmosphere. Lamb , medallions , mussels , mushrooms. Excellent! read more

Food is good, however portions are small. (I guess it is French food, so no surprise since the French are notorious for their tiny portions..) It's not just the portions though..the entire restaurant is very small. This normally would not bother me...However, the little table they put us at was so cramped and SO close to the table next to us that it was awkward and uncomfortable. Left a sour taste.. Though the food was tasty, we won't be back. read more

This is a hidden gem!!! Actually was heading for another recommended restaurant close by but wasn't impressed. Decided to try le bistro. So glad we did!! The food here is absolutely outstanding. Had the escargot followed by steak Diane. Cut and cook was perfect. My wife had the crispy duck salad (soooo good) and the fresh salmon. Service was impecable. Very friendly and informed. Not inexpensive by any means.... but for food and service this good I really don't mind. Very unassuming from the outside but everything is about the food. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wow... still amazed by the impolitelness even through the internet. If you read the comment the issue use of us having to relocate tables was the manner in which we were asked to move. Had someone explained the reason we would have understood. Instead we were told to change. Aditionally when we decided to leave, of course we expected to pay for what we consumed but i wouldnt so impolitely say to someone "you will need to pay" as for what restaurant i manage. What difference does it make. Does it affect how poorly you manage your own restaurant. At the time i was a manager for PFCB now i work in milan come by anytime if you want too see customer service read more

I have to give an update, as there have been some consistency issues here. The escargot never was warm enough, and the pesto sauce was lacking flavor. The mahi fish was bland. And a small salad was uninspired. What happened here? read more

Very disappointing. I had read the great reviews and was eager to try it. I ordered the escargot to begin. They were excellent. Then came moules frites, which was a disaster. The french fries were floppy and limp. The moules were small and mushy, not at all fresh. When I returned the potatoes, I was told that the type of potato was not apt for french fries. So why was it on the menu? I will not return. My two dinner companions each ordered something else and were pleased with their selections. I was the unlucky one. read more

Came here spontaneously for my boyfriends birthday dinner when Papas Raw Bar was full. This place was meant to be. He loved the prime rib. Perfect medium. And so tender. I had the oxtail and it was so juicy and flavored perfectly. We had the mushroom to start, and finished with creme brûlée. Great wine selections Wonderful dining experience. Plus the owner Elin served us! She was such a pleasure. Definitely added an extra dimension to our entire dining experience. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a special place. read more

This place is amazing! The food is incredible on its' own, but to make it even better, it is mostly gluten and dairy free! Those of us on restricted diets need never feel deprived here! From the garlic pesto escargot with gluten free bread, to the roasted cauliflower with rosemary, golden raisins, garlic and shallots, to the bee pollen encrusted goat cheese, this place is FANTASTIC!!
