    Eggplant Napoleon

    My friends and I celebrated a birthday dinner here. We ordered 2 appetizers to share. My 3 friends ordered the diver sea scallops, which they each enjoyed and I ordered the seafood paella, which was loaded with seafood, but not very flavorful. My white sangria was really good and we were offered a piece of tres leches cake to share. It was a nice night out.

    Mediterranean Seafood Stew

    Came here for lunch with a bunch of friends. The food was delicious and the presentation was excellent. The octopus salad was tender and tasty. The artichoke hearts were delicious just enough olive oil and flavor to mop it up with the hot bread they served the table with. The brussels sprouts were also delicious and a good way to start the meal. I my lunch was their surf and turf, which was amazing. I never had a filet mignon that big at restaurant. It was cooked to perfection and you could almost cut it with a fork. The mushroom orzo was a nice compliment to the steak. Brischetto was also very good.one of the best Brischetto I've ever had at a restaurant. The service was outstanding. This was one of the best meals I had at a restaurant in along time

    Fried Turnovers / Empanadas, filled with a mix of beef, chicken & vegetables .

    Not good... upon entering I noticed the restaurant had a slight moldy smell. Turn off. The waiter took our order and One of the servers came over with a very large bread basket and gave us each 1 piece of bread and walked away with the basket. I'd rather they didn't give us bread because I thought that was Quite cheesy. If you're going to give us bread put a basket on the table with a few pieces. We decided to order a few Tapas for dinner. Very disappointed . The meat tasted steamed , it had absolutely no flavor and sauces/accompaniment made no sense . The servers were attentive . I do not recommend and I won't go back .

    The food here was very good. We had tuna tartare, grilled calamari, seafood paella and ny surf and turf. Service was very efficient and friendly. The ambiance was ok. It seemed to me to be a little odd and I can't express why. Might not seem odd to anyone else. It didn't detract from the food or service which we really enjoyed! I would be happy to return.

    Steak with roasted potatoes and sautéed greens
    Jason P.

    My wife and I dined at Bistro, which as the name implies is a restaurant and Tapas Bar, a few weeks back. I stuck to the entree portion of the menu rather than tapas. My wife and I split a saucy, bean and veggie topped grilled calamari dish. The calamari was in larger tubier sections than you normally see. It was relatively tender. A pretty good dish. My strip steak was interesting in that it was butterflied, but only apparently grilled on one flattened outside portion, and then folded back over. I ordered it medium rare, but something about the butterflying led to an uneven temperature experience. Parts were medium rare. But parts were rare and parts were more well done than medium. Parts were very good. And other parts were overly chewy. The steak also had a bit of a peppery sauce. The sautéed greens that came as a side were very good. The roasted potatoes were pretty good. The lava cake I ordered for my dessert was surrounded by red sauce drizzles and topped with a sweet white sauce. This was well plated and pretty tasty. Service was attentive. The atmosphere was fine. Four Stars

    Seafood Paella

    The food was amazing, drinks were very good. The staff were very nice. Definitely coming back.

    Chocolate Lava Cake

    5 stars for this decadent lava cake! The bread was really good, I wish it had butter. I could have asked for it but I ate it too quickly.

    Brussels sprout salad
    Rachel B.

    I love the Brussels sprout salad here! Although it's usually very quiet when I go, almost empty, which is weird. I also got the grilled vegetables as a side but they are actually steamed. Sparkling rose was also very good.

    Wobbly table, mediocre food. We tried four tapas, all equally undistinguished. I think this place gets by on its bar.

They go down way too easily. Do yourself a favor and order the pistachio martini -- dangerously smooth and totally worth it. The restaurant itself is super easy to get to -- it's right in a shopping strip near I‑95, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a relief. Inside, the vibe is simple elegance. You've got options: table seating, counter seating, and a full bar if you're in a cocktail mood. We couldn't decide on just one thing, so we went all‑in on appetizers: * Tuna Tartar - super fresh and flavorful * Calamari Ecuadorian Style - tender with a sauce that was different in the best way * Trio Empanadas - the Colombian beef and Ecuadorian chicken were my favorites; the plantain & cheese one wasn't really my thing * Chickpea Salad - the dressing deserves its own award And shoutout to Fausto, our server. He was knowledgeable, charming, and on top of everything without hovering. Just really solid service all around. Already thinking about what I'm trying next time.

We tried calling before arriving to see if they would be able to take us but their line was busy. I'm not sure their phone was working. We were a table of 4. They were pleasant and quick. They auto charged a 20% gratuity, which was a bit steep but understandable due to the holiday. Charred pulpo was tender and delicious. The scallops were tender but I wished the bacon was crispy. The lobster ravioli sauce was salty. It was salty in the bacon wrapped scallops as well. It would've been more enjoyable if the sauce was good, especially with the bread given. The sauce in the Valentine's Day special with the steak and shrimp was delicious. A bit on the oily side but cooked to perfection. The seafood was so good! A lot of muscles, clams, shrimp, and crab. I ordered mine with pasta. The drinks were delicious! I highly recommend their pisco sours.

    We are very blessed . . …read more That our area of Southeastern Connecticut has such a large Puerto Rican population - - or we may have never tasted the wonderful food that this restaurant offers. One of the best, if not THE VERY BEST, restaurants in the local area. My only concerns: 1) I didn't see a bathroom, but I didn't need one ‍; 2) we could have used a knife for the pork stick, but we should have asked. The staff is extremely helpful. Wonderful designs, with lots of inspiration. Now for the food: - Chicken Steam Plate: Chicken leg, rice & beans, fried plantain pieces. Chicken super moist, rice was outstanding, & plantains were very tasty. - Beef Stew: very good, similar to Filipino Beef Mechado. - Pork Stick: great tasting pork - - for me, I would have liked a bit more "fatty" on my stick, but it was really meaty!!! - Beans were nicely done. - Smashed Plantains were served with 1000 Island dressing: probably just as good without the dressing. - Ground Beef Empanada: good, a bit of vegetables would have put it over the top (potatoes, onions, carrots, peas) - - but that's there style. - Chicken Empanada: ok, a bit salty for us. Enjoy!!!!!

    The food is really good! The service is quick. It's a sit down spot but the food is already made,…read morehot, ready to eat. There's ample seating inside. The only thing is that this spot is a bit pricer than other Hispanic restaurants. Therefore I don't make it in often. But when I do come, I'm never disappointed.
