The Bistro

Mimosa was on point! Order the carafe. Bloody Mary, just right! Service impeccable. Atmosphere was wonderful. Brunch!!! Oh the crab cakes Benedict and the bananas foster french toast… words can’t describe! Add to that a beautiful brunch date and I couldn’t ask for more! Visit this place yall, you won’t be disappointed! And ask for Jason as your server!

Absolutely amazing, staff was awesome, food was phenomenal. Get the drunken sauce please, people need to try it! I will refer this place anytime

Food was good, but took a bit long to get to the table, and timing of it was bad. The onion dip was good, but their portions are smaller from our last visit. While we had a party 15, no one told us that tip was automatically included. I was not as please as I have been going there before.

My wife and I stopped in this restaurant on our way back to New Hampshire. We had an amazing experience. The food was great but what we enjoyed the most was our quirky little waitress Brittany. She helped us order our drinks and meals. Everything she selected was a hit with us. We enjoyed talking to her so much we asked her to sit with us. We will definitely stop back in if we are ever passing by. The drunk sauce is to die for

They just started a Sunday brunch — FINALLY what this town needs more of! Menu is extensive and delicious. I’ve tried both the stuffed French toast and the crab cake benedict. Both are delicious. The prices are totally reasonable. Additionally, mimosas and bloody marys were likewise really good and reasonably priced. I prefer it to the Sunday brunch at Friends. However, be warned, do not come here if you are in a rush. Food takes awhile to come out, but I give them a bit of a break for that since they just started Sunday brunch only a few weeks ago.

My wife and I had tickets to a play and reluctantly decided to give this place another try. Well we are glad we did, food was always ok but this time it was great, we sat in the bar area and were planning on crappy service like normal, well not this time! Our bartender, think her name was Amy she was Fast and friendly and greeted up right away, she made my wife a special Cosmo that she loved and she’s picky. Keep up the good work we will be back !

Very pricey, but you pay for the atmosphere and the higher scale dinning experience. The crab dip appetizer was on point. The drunkin angus steak was excellent and I have had it twice now. This is a great place to take a date, but like I mentioned at the beginning, very pricey

Terrible place
Used to be good but now sucks
Service is poor and slow
Food was food and had plastic in it
Deserves no stars at all

The Bistro was a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t have altered anything, at all. They seated us at 9p, we enjoyed having the whole place to ourselves. We both adored the NY Strip which is the house special. I can easily rave about the food, as it far exceeded my expectations.
As far as their other offerings: We started with two apps which were Shrimp and the Oysters Rockafeller. Both were excellent. The sides were extremely fresh, and you could clearly tell that the chef took care in preperation. We didn’t bother with dessert due to the time, however we would have otherwise, as the food was absolutely fantastic.
We had the opportunity to meet the chef who was personable, and very charasmatic. I truly loved the historic value of the building and the atmosphere it creates. Very romantic. There was a piano player/​singer who was lovely. We enjoyed a nice conversation with her, as well. Definitely an experience worth having again.

Bad service.. . slooooooow service too. Barely mediocre food. Overpriced.

The Bistro has serves up the finest dining Valdosta has to offer! When you step inside you enter another world. This is a great place for special occasions, date nights, girls night out, guys night out, etc. They have a fabulous wine selection and great food! I had the vidalia onion dip for an appetizer and drunken angus for my entrée. It was all tasty and fabulous! I loved it and I can’t wait to go back again!

Parking downtown in Valdosta is no problem at all. I parked a couple of blocks away so I could get a spot which was completely unnecessary. I drove by several times and you can easily find a spot right in front and there is not even a meter. The Bistro was a really nice place. The art was eclectic. Staff was pleasant. The food was good. We ordered a bowl of crab bisque and one of the chicken entrees. The soup was good– not the best I have had, but definitely good. I didn’t like the chicken, but my husband did. The prices were reasonable. We saw a wine list and most wines were sold my the bottle and were overpriced, but we didn’t order anything. It was a good choice.

I went on a Tuesday night and it was practically empty, with only two other tables occupied. In fact, we joked that there were more workers than diners.
The service was good and the portions were plenty big. The menu was fairly basic with 8 – 10 apps, a few pastas, 3 – 4 salads and about 15 – 18 entrees. I think all of the entrees fell into the seafood, chicken or steak categories. I was told that the «Drunken Filet» was the house specialty, but I didn’t try it.
I had the crab stuffed grouper topped with a tarragon sauce and I finished every bite. The only things that I didn’t care for were the dinner rolls, which were definitely not freshly prepared (probably came frozen in a bag) and the vegetables were a little mushy and could have used some seasoning. I can’t remember the last time I picked up a salt shaker, but had too this time just to give the veggies a little flavor. My dining companion had the sea scallops and he said they were excellent.
The wine list was fine, but not great. Certainly reasonably priced. I had a bottle of White Cloud Chard. for $ 41 and I think that was the most expensive white wine on the list.

I have not had to chance to eat at the Bistro for supper; however, I have eaten the lunch buffet several times and absolutely love it. Everything is fresh. This is not your typical buffet… I would describe it as gourmet/​kicked up southern cuisine. Super elegant, nice ambiance and lots of fresh seasonal vegetables. When in season the collard greens are to die for! Almost better than my granny’s. Bite your tongue.

Great little find in downtown Valdosta. Mind you it’s likely the only little find in downtown Valdosta, but they seemed to have a good crowd and the food was great. Passing through we were looking for a place for a quiet dinner and found it through the iPhone on a search of local restaurants.
The reproduced Chagall paintings on the wall are great and the converted historic building has a charm reminiscent of a lot of places in Atlanta. The service was fine, though could be stepped up a notch.
We started with the Hot Crab dip, which was quite tasty and followed up with a special Grouper with a lemon beurre blanc and capers and the Drunken Filet. Not hard to see why the filet is the most popular on the menu, according to the waiter. The Caramel Cheesecake was good, but nothing to rave about.
If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth checking out.

This is a trendy restaurant in Valdosta, if you can believe it. The food I believe is «Southern» with a twist and surprisingly good. There isn’t much around here so pick your poison, chain or chef? I choose chef!
