This is a must try!!! Food was amazing and the craft cocktails were unbelievable. Our waiter Sydney was the best. Can't wait to go back. Great place for a date or a nice evening out.. read more

Just what we needed after a day of walking throughout the town. We had a later reservation, but didn't feel rushed with our meal. It was a comfortable quaint restaurant that had the feeling as if we were sitting in someone's home. Definitely will return to this gem when we visit again. read more

Great cozy restaurant in a little house near center of town. Limited parking in front. You definitely need a reservation. Staff is super friendly and helped facilitate our seating as we got to restaurant 15 mins before our reservation and party was still at the table they had earmarked for us. No problem. 5 mins later they had set-up another 2 top and we were seated. You feel like you are in someone's house the way they have it decorated inside. Very warm and inviting. Service was prompt and we got started with a French Onion soup and a buratta appetizer. Nice yellow heirloom tomato on the buratta plate and the mozzarella was very fresh. Followed up with Caesar and Niçoise salads ... both well put together. Main course was to split steak frites. Delivered medium rare as we asked with a chimmichuri sauce. Service was outstanding throughout the meal. Very attentive to make sure everything was just right. Skipped dessert this time. With a glass of a nice local Cabernet Franc, and a 20% tip we checked out at $111, about $55 pp. High for Chelan, but this is 5-star dining in Chelan. Good food, unpretentious service, comfy location. Well done read more

Who doesn't enjoy warm baguette with herb butter!! i would like to see more entree salad options and entree options. Put those amazing prawns on a Caesar and call it good!! read more

Food was delicious, but over priced for the atmosphere and portions. Let's just say the food is the reason for the stars. Gets a 2 stars because the service wasn't great. I made a reservation for 6 on Sunday at 10:45am. We showed up about 15-20 minutes early and were greeted by a young man who told us we could not be seated until our reservation time. Totally understandable if the restaurant was busy, but that wasn't the case. Every single table was empty and nobody else was waiting to be seated. So, from the start we weren't off to a great impression. We were finally sat at precisely 10:45; however, instead of sitting us at a table in the shade on this 90+ degree morning, we were sat directly in the sun at a table with no umbrella. When we asked if we could change seats because we were all burning and the lack of ice with our lukewarm water wasn't cooling us down, we were told no because all of the other tables were reserved. But again, the restaurant was empty. By the time we ordered, ate, paid, and left it was about an hour later and still EVERYONE SINGLE TABLE WAS EMPTY. We could have easily been moved to a different table to accommodate the people that were currently dining and paying for food. Did I mention that the silverware was too hot to hold from baking in the sun? Overall not please with the service but then again every worker seemed like this was their first day on the job as a sever. Will most likely not be returning, but in the off chance that I do, I will be requesting to sit inside there very small dining area. Not impressed. read more

A wonderful gem of a place in town. I try not to be annoyed by other reviewers but the one that mentions that the view is of a parking lot is just not true. It's not a view property, it's in a town, there is parking, there is a road. Again, it's in town. And yes it's in an old smaller house, and that creates smaller indoor square footage/. It's been fabulously reimagined, especially the front patio area. It's super cute and incredibly well done and I'm not sure what the other reviewer wants from them. The drinks - we had margaritas, a Paloma and a mezcal watermelon drink, all were delicious; the mezcal was light and well balanced and my favorite. The food - the tuna was a surprising hit, crab cakes were solid. My daughter had French onion soup to die for and a house salad - now I'm sorry but I need to address the reviewer that complained about the house salad and in general the same ingredients being used in the menu - it's a bistro it's not the Cheesecake Factory - the house salad was 5 star, I would order it as an entree next time. It wasn't huge but perfectly dressed and light with a large wheel of goat cheese, tangy and crunchy. Very satisfying! The buratta was another favorite for us and of course the baguette. Steak frites perfectly cooked. The service - perfect in that way of always there when you need something and very friendly. Dishes cleared promptly, food and drinks out in a reasonable amount of time. You might be wondering if I know the owner, I don't, we have only visited once and we will be back for sure, but as a society we should move in a direction of appreciation for small business owners, the folks that take chances and roll their life savings into their dreams to serve us a bistro dinner under a lanterned tree on a magical patio on a late summer night creating memories with my family. Leaving ridiculous, childlike tantrum reviews because their vision doesn't add up to perfection to you is so lowbrow and entitled. I for one am exhausted by it. Please consider joining me in cheering on the folks that create the luxe texture of our experiences and let's change the conversation. read more

Came back a second time and what a great experience. Excellent service on a busy holiday weekend. I had the Poulet frites - I've never had better bistro chicken - so moist and flavorful. The fries were cooked to perfection. Missus had a salad verte that was chock full of goodies. Son had the burger and the patty was fantastic. Topped off with a fantastic citron lemon tart - wow! The prices were fair, the quality was excellent, the service terrific. We're making this place our must stop. read more

Lovely spot. Delicious food. Our 4 and 6 year old loved the burger. Friendly service. Will return soon!

Fabulous date night spot. Food was great. We will be back! The dishes we ordered were all top notch. The cocktails were unexpectedly fabulous, and the quaint interior is unique. read more

One of the best restaurants in Chelan, hands down! The minute you walk in, you can tell it's a classy place. The decor is awesome to include the bathroom. The service was spot on as well. There were five of us for lunch and everyone raved about their choices. We had the Bistro salad, steak frites and the crab melt. Two of us got soup: clam chowder and tomato bisque. everything tasted delicious! My steak was cooked perfectly and the food was seasoned to perfection. We were there during lunch time and the steak frites was $20 during lunch hours and $28 during dinner hours. I was perfectly satisfied with the amount of food that came on the lunch sized portion. I'll definitely be back and I'll bring more family and friends. read more

Had a great evening! Will be back and to order the shrimp on the appetizer times 8!!! Ridiculously good!

Great food and excellent service during our visit. Reservations are recommended as the place is smaller but we have had luck without.

The Best Restaurant In Chelan ! Amazing Ambiance and service ! Honestly these dishes are my favorites and the only thing I can say I dislike is the hours they're open because I wish I could have their food whenever in the day!!:) that's how amazing their food is!! read more

Past 3 times we've been here our order have been forgotten, they changed their menu from good to way worse, and today we had to wait for over an hour with a reservation to get our food: a burger and salad. Families arriving after us got their food in a reasonable time and had time to get dessert. Last time we were here we got raw chicken. Also . Stop calling your green salad a Salade Verte when you're waitresses don't know what that means. This place has gone to shit. read more

Amazing food and drinks and ambience! Everything exceeded our expectations and we will definitely return!

Located near a gas station and busy road with view of parking lot, Bistro failed to live up to its name as the service, ambiance and food was no where near "bistro" quality. Furthermore, I don't know how Bistro justified charging Sorrento's / Wapato Point Cellars Grill / Vin du Lac price when it is clearly not at their level. Outdoor seating arrangement was crowded, and with the restaurant surrounded by heat reflecting pavement, today's 96F heat felt unbearable as there was not enough greenery, no mist spraying system or even ice water. Their limited menu consists of dishes that repeats the same ingredients over and over again. We ordered charcuterie board, green salad, steak frites, langoustine, and chicken pasta. The charcuterie board has the same nuts and dried fruits in the salad, the pasta had the same oil drenched peppers as the charcuterie. The pasta was too oily and the curry flavor unpleasant (and I usually love eating all types of curry). The langoustine portion was small, the shell completely uncracked, and we were not provided with any tools or wipes to eat this messy dish. It came with a soggy side of sliced potato salad with pickles that was also unappetizing. All other dishes were mediocre; the only food I liked was their warm baguette, but only got a little bit of it on the charcuterie, and did not want to spend $6 for more for just the baguette. Overall, we were quite disappointed as it was night and day compared to our meal at Wapato Point Cellars last night. read more

We were a party of 8. We were told they didn't serve parties of 8 together and we could only sit outside if we had a dog. All the outside tables were empty. I told them they just lost out on $300 read more

Great food, drinks and service. We love the Bistro. I highly recommend it. Reservations are highly recommended. read more

This is one of the two best restaurants in Chelan. The food is good quality, but not cheap. They also serve some interesting cocktails. The decor is quite eclectic and the restaurant is warm and comfortable. The staff is attentive but not overbearing. read more

This was a surprisingly wonderful experience. The food was so good, ambiance was romantic, and service was super friendly and enjoyable. We started with the fresh baguette and they happily accommodated a request with olive oil and balsamic with s&p for dipping. It went great with the butter they provide. For our main dishes, we shared the cavatappi and croque madame over a bottle of Chardonnay (maybe 2 ). Both were so fresh and delicious. If you're in Lake Chelan, go here. If you're nearby, it's worth it to go out of the way to eat here. read more

I had the Bistro BLT for lunch. Asked the waitress to go light on the aioli, but it was dripping! That's a shame because it alters the texture of the delicious sourdough bread. next time I will say no to the aioli and the Gruyère. I used to visit that building when I was a child nearly 80 years ago. it housed Dr. Piro's home and office. read more

We got the crabcake benedict and a couple of cocktails. Our server was nice and the cocktails were fantastic, but the food was just ok. The crabcake Benedict were really lackluster. Both of our poached eggs were poached solid so we didn't get the expected runny yolk. I got the fruit salad on the side which was pretty good and well plated. My husband chose to get potatoes which he said were overseasoned and undercooked. read more

Bistro At Lake Chelan - The bistro sparkler was really delicious :) - American Near Me - Chelan, Washington

Excellent venue and great food with friendly service. I found the portion sizes for the price to be a little bit unbalanced. I realize that it's French cuisine and the quality plays a major role but it felt a little overpriced. The crab cakes and tuna were absolutely outstanding but the potato corn cake was very oily. All that being said I would certainly order the crab cakes and tuna again, as they really had exceptional flavor and great quality. If you are looking for French style cuisine with great food and don't mind paying a little more, then this certainly is the place to go. read more

The atmosphere is amazing, the food is fantastic and the service is excellent. All the food is great but tops on our list are the Steak Frites, the Crab Cakes and the Wild Mushroom Cavatappi which is an amazing pasta dish. read more

This is a lovely spot. The decor is so pretty. The cocktail list is tasty and so beautiful. And ALL the food we tried in our group of 5 was delicious. GO!! read more

The best food in Chelan by far! Great prices, amazing service, super fresh and delicious food. Highly recommend! read more

The food and ambiance were great. What wasn't so great was we waited well over an hour for our food, while we watched several tables , both larger & smaller, that came in way after us get served b4 us. Sadly our waitress never communicated anything or offered any attention while we patiently waited.... Would give this service a one star read more

We just had the quickest meal at the Bistro. We made the mistake of trying to eat there with Two year old. The food was p pretty good except for the bitter lettuce in the salad. But the staff made faces and gestures about us not so behind our back. It was very uncomfortable. Will never go back.... Even with out a toddler. read more

Loved every minute of my date night here. Fantasy food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. read more

Delicious food! Great service!! We definitely love dining at the Bistro. Reservations highly recommended.

My wife and I recently had our date night here. We absolutely loved it! We were able to make reservations last minute and get it in. I ordered their Bistro burger and my wife got their grilled chicken club. Both of us really loved both of them, the burger that I got was one of these best I've ever had! The service there was fantastic as well. The waitress was one of the most friendliest waitress I've had during this COVID season. As well, the whole place felt nice and intimate, clean, well designed. We will definitely be back here next trip to Chelan. read more

Terrific lunch experience on shady patio. Delicious food, great service, a fun chat with the chef/owner. really liked their commitment to local wines. Great addition to Chelan's food scene! read more

I would say this is the best breakfast around, the chicken and waffles is my highest recommended with the perfect amount of sweet and savory. read more

Burger was just ok. Worst crab cakes I ever had. They were expensive. Do not order. Nice waitress, and good creme brûlée. It's not on the water like the pictures suggest. Go to Campbell's instead. read more
