Fantastic food with warm atmosphere and excellent service. Pricing feels like a steal for what you get. I definitely recommend Bistro K and will be adding it to my staple places.

The staff are angels. One young man prepared the only dish he knew how to cook for me when the kitchen was officially closed so I would not have to walk to the shopping center. It was delicious. A female servor used her phone to order a Lyft for me when I could not open the app on my phone. She would not let me reimburse her and helped me to the car. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful the staff is. The food is terrific also. Lovely place to eat.

What an unexpected fabulous find within a small shopping center! I love the intimate atmosphere, the classy-&-comfortable furnishings, and the friendly-&-attentive service by the entire staff. I've dined here for a quiet-&-peaceful breakfast as well as during a couple of energetic and lively Friday night dinners -- with live entertainment. When we'd requested to share a salad, we were impressed how attractively they'd divided each of our plates. To date, of the entrees which (for the most part) we enjoyed, I least liked their Bistro K Sole (however, I should've known better since I don't particularly care for breaded meats. My hubby surprisingly ordered their Coconut cake for dessert (he's not a coconut-loving type of guy); we loved it: so light, extremely moist, and wonderful flavors and textures -- that we ordered it, again, on a return trip! Fun locals vibe!

We were looking for a spot to eat for my wife's birthday and coincidentally found this hidden gem of an Italian restaurant. It was last minute and they were able to take our reservation which was really nice. The other plus was that they had live music, which my wife loves. So it worked out perfect we came here for her birthday. I ended up ordering a special they had for that day which was the Osso Bucco. I will say that it was so delicious and tender. They hit it right on the spot. And the portion was huge. I almost couldn't finish it. All the food we ordered for my wife and kids was delicious. Their service was also on point. I really enjoyed this place, and am happy how welcoming they were to my family and I. I will definitely be back for their delicious Italian food and great service.

I visited shortly The Bistro K after they first opened, mostly out of curiosity, and my verdict was, 'It's okay...' I hadn't been back since - until recently, when AR and I were feeling indecisive and looking for a late Sunday lunch. I'd mentioned The Bistro K to AR the week before while picking up a pie at Ball Park Pizza, which happens to be just across the parking lot. (They make great pizzas and one helluva pizza sandwich!) The soft lighting and rustic decor set the stage for a relaxing meal, perfect for a casual date night or small family gathering. The indoor dining area is charming, but if the weather's nice, try for an outdoor seat.

Still not overly impressed, though I'm starting to think maybe Italian cuisine just isn't my thing. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, with plush seating that feels cozy. Honestly, the experience was just okay for me. The presentation of the dishes was nice, the drinks were solid, and the service was excellent. We both enjoyed our meals, but I found the portion sizes of the Burrata appetizer and the Short Rib Ravioli a bit underwhelming, especially given the price. Bistro K is on the pricier side for casual dining. Expect to spend around $30-$50 per person, depending on your drink selections. I don't feel the need to rush back to The Bistro K anytime soon, but I am intrigued to try their Happy Hour. Although the pace may not be suited for a quick meal, it's ideal for those wanting to savor a leisurely afternoon or evening filled with delicious food and great company - though it is a bit on the pricey side. - Big Aloha!

We love heading over to our favorite little spot bistro K... The food is always so delicious and the service is amazing . It seems like I always get the delicious fresh meatballs in marinara sauce with tons of fresh Parmesan cheese . They carry one of my favorite wines, Austin, Hope Cabernet. My girlfriend had the lobster ravioli and she said it was delicious . We wanted to sit outside, however it was a little bit chilly . so we got a very cozy booth, listening to all the great music. This is a local favorite that people just keep coming back to . It's a comfort place times 1000.
