Great experience last night. Met a friend for dinner at this Bistro I heard good things for a while. I liked the homy feeling of the rooms the smiley young waitresses and the food. I had the rockfish with risotto and it was excellent. Nader the owner stoped twice to chat. the place was almost full on a Tuesday night. prices were right. it felt I had dinned in my friends house. I will definitely be back. read more

This place was amazing, the food was so delicious and tasted out of this world. We ordered Mezza plater and it was so good along with Caprese which was refreshing. Then had the mediterranean chicken and vegetable fettuccine and both were so good. Its rare than i rate a restaurant but this one was really outstanding, especially its a new place and people need to know about it. read more

Food was very good, great prices and love the brunch. Staff was very friendly and understanding when we needed a larger table

So many great things to say. First off, cleanliness is outstanding. I walk in and I'm welcomed right away. The owner comes by to meet us and checks on us a few times to make sure we're happy. I feel at home which is so important. The food was outstanding. I had a couple apps, chowder, and dinner. It was so good I went back pretty fast to try the bruch which was also great. Make sure to try the drinks too. This place takes pride in what they do, definitely recommend it for a date night, grabbing a drink alone or with friends, family dining, or even takeout. read more

Wehad an amazing dinner at Bistro 804 tonight! Spencer greeted us and waited on us also, we can't say enough about him, he recommended the Salmon and we both got that for dinner. He was on top of it, always checking on us and we love his attentionWhat an asset to Bistro 804, Spencer is going places!!! read more

Love this place but last few Thursdays have been very rough. Service has fallen off dramatically (last week we were forgotten and didn't see a waiter to order or get drinks for at least 20 minutes after being seated). Tonight a girl sitting on a chair in the entryway told us they had a private party and we could only be served in the bar area or outside. Both were full (we told her not the other way around). The only thing missing to make this ruder was her snapping gum in our faces. Hope they turn things around. This was starting to become a regular neighborhood hang out. read more

My daughter and I came across this establishment because she requested "mashed potatoes" for lunch. We searched Yelp and found this restaurant. We ended up having the Greek surf and turf as well as an appetizer with hummus, taziki, Greek salad and dolmade, and the mashed potatoes. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent! We enjoyed Katie. She was very personable and made our experience there extra special as she interacted with my daughter who is disabled. It was a lively experience. I recommend Bistro 804 highly! read more

Nice restaurant tucked away in the west end. I have been twice now and both meals were fantastic. The first time, I had the shrimp and grits. Portion size was huge and flavors were amazing. The second time, I had the Shrimp Po Boy. They didn't skimp on the shrimp and the sandwich was great. Overall, this is a nice spot with reasonable prices and a good happy hour. read more

Great local spot. Good food, good service, convenient location. Walk to dinner, then easy walk home!

I've been here several times and continue to be impressed not only with the selection, especially the dinner specials, but the service is great both at the table and at the bar. The bartenders remember people and their drink of choice. Little things like that are huge. 5 read more

Not great, went for breakfast and the service took forever and the food was cold and sub par

Overpriced and underwhelming. Salads are decent, everything else we got was sub-mediocre.

I used to order from Bistro 804 via Grubhub pretty often, but they've raised prices by far too much now. What I used to order for $13 is now over $20. There's no acceptable excuse for that kind of increase. read more

Decided to have an early dinner and I'm so glad we decided to stop in! We started with the veggie egg rolls and the sweet garlic dipping sauce had just the right amount of spicy kick. The blackened shrimp tacos where phenomenal and my husband loved the tuna melt. Definitely a local spot to check out...you won't be disappointed! read more

Outstanding newish bistro. Excellent food quality, small but well chosen menu. Burgers, Mediterranean, awesome salads.

This is our favorite place to eat out. My husband and I have been going to bistro for almost a year and every meal has been terrific! Friendly and kind family run restraunt and always make you feel right at home. Great menu that will make everyone in your family happy! read more

Been going for years for taco night - best shrimp tacos and best skinny margueritas in the city - until last night. Last night the shrimp tacos were mostly shredded fish with one whole shrimp or, on my wife's plate, three half shrimps. When mentioned to the owner, got a second shrimp for one of my two shrimp tacos. Marguerita was skimpy - only the ice filled the glass and it seemed only contained a few sips. Very disappointed. Won't be back. read more

Always something delicious ! Great diversified menu and Every Item is a winner . Food is cooked to order and served with a smile . We've tried almost Every item on the menu and everyone is delicious ! Cocktail hour is great and reminds me of Richmond's version of Cheers - What a fun place . . . where friends meet ! Give it a Try ! read more

Just had the grape leaves. Delicious! Always enjoy stopping by this neighborhood restaurant for a warm welcome.

Always a pleasant experience and the soups are on fire delish. So friendly, so good, so very welcoming and warm. Thank you Bistro 804

First visit to this nice small neighborhood restaurant on a Saturday for an early dinner. The service is very good and the food is also. It is a family friendly place with a varied menu and a bar area with several tvs. My tenderloin with mashed potatoes and baked green beans with corn was very good with the meat sliced and tender, juicy and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were real with just the right amount of seasoning. My wife had the Mediterranean chicken over rice with a side of Greek salad on the plate and it was all good with the chicken tender and flavorful and the salad very good as a complimentary side on the plate. Our friend had the fish and chips and reported it very hot and crispy with good fries and a bit of cole slaw. We will be back and try a sandwich from the varied menu. read more

Traveling through Richmond and stumbled across this place. On the smaller side of things, but nevertheless a very average looking bistro that you would find within a strip mall. Good service and decent food. However, some of the food did not match what the description said it would be. A few other minor culinary errors like poor toasting of a bun and too much mayonnaise in a chicken salad kept the food from reaching a very high level. Overall a decent place with clean food at reasonable prices. read more

Delicious food and great atmosphere. It is a family owned restaurant. It is spotlessly clean and the service is so good it is almost overwhelming! The owner checks in with his patrons to make sure their meals are tasty (they are!) and the service is good. Our waiter, Sam, was polite and professional. This will be my new regular place for friend meetups - also family dinners. According to the customers that were sitting around us, I am not going to be the only one. Lots of regulars. read more

We visit Bistro 804 several times a month. Always a good experience so we invited some friends to join us tonight. Our server was very sweet but our bill was incorrect. We had ordered happy hour cabs but charged for full price . When we asked about it we were told they don't have cabs on happy hour. All she should have done was tell us that up front. This wasn't the only mistake on our bill. Hate to end a good experience with this problem. Just always check your bill. read more

I came in here on a thursday night and they were pretty busy. I was greeted by a gentleman and i gave him my name and he gave me my order and he said have a wonderful night. The service was amazing! Then when i got home the first thing i ate were the shrimp tacos! They tasted so good and the sauce was amazing! When i finished that I opened up the fried chicken sandwich that was on a burger bun and had ranch, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. That was so good the chicken was well seasoned and the side of fries were also well seasoned! Cant wait until they can open for dine in! Definitely coming back! read more

Very good service and polite staff and very clean! Food was great highly recommend. Great location

I have experienced 804 Bistro twice now and cannot be more impressed with the staff, the atmosphere, and especially the food. They go out of their way to make sure the customer is having top notch service as well as savoring a wonderful meal. read more

Their website and the door to the restaurant says "late night menu 10p -11p", but their kitchen closes at 10 pm, so no food after that. I passed up several possibilities tonight in order to eat at Bistro 804, so this was disappointing. My complaint is do about the kitchen closing at 10 pm, but rather the false implication that food would be available for purchase up to 11:00. read more

Went for dinner tonight and it was amazing! The dining room has a warm, chill atmosphere and the food was amazing! I had the crab dip as an appetizer which was perfect to share and really good. I got the philly which had perfectly sliced ribeye, the veggies tasted fresh, and the warm cheese melted on top tied it all together. The other entree we got was the sailor which looked great with perfectly toasted bread. This is a very friendly, family run place with great service and a really good atmosphere! read more

This restaurant has food as amazing as the huge-hearted team that runs it! Despite having their own challenges due to Covid-19, Luke Stackow and the team at Bistro 804 adopted a family and over delivered to make their Christmas special. When I provided a holiday meal to another deserving family as a way to honor Bistro 804's generosity, they personally delivered it for free. The recipient said the food was incredible - and in fact made their Christmas. If you are looking for amazing food made lovingly by incredible people, you'll find it at Bistro 804. Order takeout today! read more

unfortunately have had horrible service here on both of my visits here. The happy hour is a good deal and the drinks are good, but the food is average. The servers were nice but unfortunately worst service I had in a long time. Took forever to have our order taken, food was slow, refills slow, checks came out wrong twice. It's too bad because we really liked the drinks. read more

Bistro 804 is the classic neighborhood restaurant, but goes above and beyond expectations. The staff was very friendly, attentive but no intrusive, and the food was terrific. I ordered the special shrimp and grits, which turned out to be even better than expected. It had a wonderful kick to it with ground chorizo sausage mixed in a creamy sauce. My husband's pulled pork was both sweet and savory. We will definitely be back. read more

Really good food, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff!

Our wonderful daughter and son-in-law surprised us with dinner delivered from Bistro 804 this evening and it was perfect. It was quite the spread with soup, salad, meatloaf, Pimento cheese, and bread and it was 100% perfect. Everything was the correct temp, plentiful, and the flavors, divine. We even have leftovers for tomorrow! Yum! Easily the best food we've had delivered. A new favorite, for sure. read more

Grabbed dinner here with a friend and was underwhelmed. Nothing wrong at all with the food or the experience, nothing outstanding either. The service was friendly and prompt. The menu has a wide variety of options and they have a good happy hour. The Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer seemed a bit overcooked (maybe fried too long, as it was sort of dark, not saucy, and a bit crunchier than I would have expected). The ranch and blue cheese it's served with were good, didn't taste bottled. The drink I ordered was sort of disconcerting as the limes looked less than fresh, nothing that would have hurt me to drink but not appealing to look at. My friend said her club sandwich was pretty good and it looked like it was, along with the fries. They were plentiful and well seasoned. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing -- I'd be happy to return to give it another try as I love this neighborhood and the businesses that are there. It's nice to get some locally made food right up the street, so I'm hoping that this was just a fluke. read more

Super nice and attentive staff. The food was really good. The Philly cheesesteak was way more than one serving.

Great neighborhood place. Warm & casual, feels like family. Food is so good, we had the Philly sandwich, Buffalo wings & crap dip. Wait staff & owner were at our table constantly checking on us. Good drinks too. Will be back soon! read more

Would have been 5 stars for food. Server was friendly but she never pre-bussed, asked us if we wanted another beer, and was texting on her phone in the kitchen as I passed on the way to the restroom. When we needed another fork & napkins asked a young boy doing homework (who had come out of kitchen area) for help. He immediately got the items for us, all with a smile. Should have tipped him instead of server! read more
