To get this review rolling I arrived late, par for the course really but helps with the entrance and honestly you get to see how a staff responds. Bis on Main wait staff were very good all around and that really makes or breaks a place. I've eaten here twice and both times the service was very good, professional and polite, all be it a bit stiff but I can't complain. The general ambiance is cozy and more intimate, this is a great place for a dinner date or special occasion for two. In my case we had way more than two but it worked out well. You can easily bring 6-8 people if you call ahead. Food - pretty top notch, the rib eye was very tasty, spot on medium rare. The salad was good, not the best I've had but still solid. The charcuterie board was nice, could have been a bit more generous on the cheeses but still tasty. Wine selection is reasonable although there are no "value choices". It's $16-$27 dollars per glass.... That's right per glass. I do think any restaurant should have a nice house red for less than $10 per glass. I get it, restaurants make a lot of money on alcohol but the meal is also not cheap so cut a guy a break. We did crack open an Opus One so you know I was suffering but still.
All in all, Bis on Main is a great choice for a dinner date, special occasion or business dinner. Pocket book will thank you if you keep it to just a few times a year though! Expect higher end quality and service in the end. read more
