Bistro at the Bijou

My boyfriend and I were visiting from out of town and decided to eat here because we love historical stuff and the history of this building sounded interesting. While the atmosphere and live band were wonderful and were what we were expecting, the service and food was not. Our waitress seemed disappointed when we told her that we would not be ordering drinks and our service went downhill from there. From what we read online, we thought that this place sounded like a restaurant, but I guess it is meant to be more of a bar. We didn't realize that this was a place where we would be expected to order drinks. After she took our order for food we didn't see her again until we stopped her to ask for the bill. We ordered coke to drink and were just given coke cans with no glasses or anything. We both ordered sides and we never received them. Our entrees that we did receive were pretty bland and the chicken had a slimy texture. We were never checked on so that we could communicate the fact that we never received our sides or offered refills. Maybe we just came on a bad night, but this was not the experience that we expected.

Only had drinks but excellent variety of bourbon. Great staff and had great conversation with another patron. They have awesome musical venues but haven't been in a decade. Do se the lineup and it is solid.

Updated review. Still like this place, but DON'T come in at open. Forget service, even the food was sub par. This is my first bad meal here but worse was the owners response. Basically told me to eat it for free instead of getting me what I ordered. I really tried but it just wasn't any good. I left disappointed and wondering if I'd ever come back. So sad... Old review: So unexpected. Great gluten free menu. Amazing food. I won't say this often... It's under priced... $14 for a meal that I would have payed double for and still been happy. You have to go here. Stop what you're doing and plan a trip here. This place needs to be on food network. Guy Feiri, why haven't you been here. You really need to try this place. If you agree, like this review.

Clearly they are short staffed, but the food was worth the wait The atmosphere is nice. The staff are friendly and the food was really good. The price is also reasonable. I had "fire on mountain " and the sandwich was great. Loved Teh sauce. Would recommend this place.
