Came here for an early dinner on a Tuesday. The restaurant was quiet which I enjoyed. I ordered the coq au vin. It was well cooked and melted off the bone. The sauce was also delicious. We also got a salad which was fresh and yummy! And the profiteroles were perfectly sweet with great texture. Service was fantastic as usual! read more

We picked Bistro Niko for a dinner because of the location - but the restaurant is so much more! Valet is really the only option for parking as the restaurant faces a busy stretch of Peachtree in Buckhead. It's $2 plus tip. Once inside we were seated quickly and waited for rest of our party of 4 to arrive. The menus are huge (literally) and I knocked over my husband's water glass. The wait staff was quick to notice and with precision reset the table with new linens. The ambiance was lively, slightly loud. Server shared specials then seemed to check back in at just the right times. I had trout almondine (incredibly tasty!) and guys at table had steak. Other friend ordered the duck. If you are a fan of chocolate martinis Bistro Niko has them. Previous visit was at lunchtime and that was equally lovely. We will be back! read more

The food at bistro Niko was very good! The decorations were adorable and our waitress Kat was unbelievable adorable! We ordered steak and veal, has a nice selection of wines by the bottle! However. We were treated badly by the Manager on duty for simply asking him to take a picture of us for our Christmas "Date night" couldn't understand his behavior! Were we not spending enough? They might want to explain to him customer service! For the record he was just stand around watching the wait staff work! read more

From the entrance to the dining experience, this place blew our minds! We expected to walk into a standard French bistro and walked into a French Rivera decked out with holiday decor and live jazz music! We enjoyed the peach bubbly cocktail together and an order of oysters on the half shell for starters and everything was incredible. The 2 regions represented in the oyster selection were clean and crisp, not fishy at all but very fresh. We ordered the croquette and the Norwegian (smoked salmon) Benedict and both were outstanding, and very swiftly delivered to the table. Might have even been able to use another 5 minutes to finish our oysters. But the food was just absolutely delicious. The atmosphere for the holidays makes you feel like you're entering the world of "The Nutcracker" just with live jazz during the weekend brunch hours. The only "issues" we ran into was not getting our bread without requesting and the live music was just a tad too loud. That's it--not enough to keep us from returning, which we plan on it soon! read more

I had gift Visa cards so I gave waitress one for a hundred dollars. She came back and said it was no good. I gave her a regular Visa card and pair it in full. Upon returning home I called. They had taken the full 100.00 gift card plus my regular visa. I stopped by the next day to get my 100.00 refund. The manager said not to worry because their system would refund my 100.00. It's been months. Still mo refund Food was fine. Ive not returned. read more

The worst steak I have ever had. The service was so slow and bad, i can not even think of sending it back. I did not like the bowl of melted cheese with a splash of onion soup. If you work hard for your money, this is not the place for you. Rather eat at Marlow. read more

Love the location! To begin, valet parking is only $3. Walking in the hostess was very polite and welcoming. We had a reservation and were seated instantly. My date was a 10 minutes late, but neither the hostess nor the waiter minded. Waiter was very knowledgable about the wine menu. Food was just okay. Scallops were good, but not great. The ambiance was very romantic and loved the lighting. read more

Upon arrival we were greeted by a man at the host desk who was far from warm and fuzzy. Perhaps the rainy weather had him down in the dumps? It was hard to tell if he was just pretending to be Parisian although I know many French people unusually they're friendlier than that. The restaurant itself was adorable decorated for the holidays. It was festive. We seated at a table facing the street near the bar. Our waiter was nice very to the point not a whole bunch of small talk. The French onion soup we had was delicious some of the best we have found since being here in Atlanta , I thought the escargot was tasty too. Salad was fresh and delightful. I love a good Belgium endive salad, and who doesn't love blue cheese and walnuts! Speaking of blue cheese the martini my husband had had an abundance of olives stuffed w/ blue cheese. My glass of Sav Blanc was yummy. We had two rounds of drinks , the second round his martini glass was broken so I brought it back to the bar and saw the bartender basically put the contents of the drink back in the shaker and pour it in a new glass. She was kind enough to make him a whole brand new martini once I asked. I don't know about you, but if you're ever given a broken glass at a bar, I promise you , you want a whole new cocktail made. No one wants to eat glass by accident. My glass of wine oddly enough had a chip in the bottom of the stem, but at that point to go complain about that seemed more hurtful than helpful. Our entrées were also enjoyable. I think that the steak au poivre should have had a little bit more of a crust to it, wasn't a proper sear but it was good . The scallops were delicious and the white wine sauce served with it was perfect. All and all I think we'd very much like try the crab cake and oysters next time. Perhaps saving room for dessert next time ! The food was delicious, the overall vibe is still up for debate. read more

This was the fourth and last time we have been poisoned by gluten on a meal labeled gluten free at Bistro Niko. The last time I left a review, the owner graciously reached out to me and told me to ask the waiter to tell the chef that my trout almandine needed to be made in a separate pan. I have celiac disease and even cross contamination is enough to make me extremely sick. Thankfully, the waiter told me that the pans are too small to cook the fish and that no matter what they tell me, they will use a giant grill that is cross-contaminated. He said that they will tell me the food is safe, but they are lying and that the owner doesn't know what is actually happening in the kitchen, so I should order something else. I did, and my seared foie gras was delicious (despite being cold in the middle as if it had been frozen right before they cooked it). I also had a large order of mussels and frites which were delicious. My husband (who is sensitive to gluten, but does not have celiac disease) ordered the trout, and asked to have the chef ensure that the grill was cleaned before cooking his fish in an effort to minimize the gluten exposure. He enjoyed the fish, but when he went to bed he was miserable all night long. In order for him to react that badly, there must have been a significant amount of gluten in the dish. Additionally, for a restaurant as expensive as Bistro Niko to serve water with a chlorine content as high as a YMCA swimming pool is shameful. Rumi's kitchen offers delicious filtered water (both sparkling and still) at no cost. Bistro Niko should provide potable water. The taste was so bad that we ordered a bottle of San Pellegrino. Minutes later, we were told that they didn't have any. We ordered a bottle of flat water instead. It's a small thing, but it's indicative of the overall quality of the restaurant. I hate to write this review. I want to love this restaurant and I had high hopes that the third time would be the charm, but paying find dining prices only to end up aching all night is simply not worth it. If you have food allergies of any significance, this place is not for you. read more

Great service, staff was very kind, we arrived late in the evening but got our orders in and were not rushed. They were accommodating with our 5 year old who had dessert for dinner. We left full and happy, would definitely return! Food was great, only complaint my steak was bit salty saying someone who loves/ adds salt to everything. read more

Absolutely wonderful! We came here on a Tuesday night & loved it. The menu is very extensive, with lots of options for everyone. We started with an appetizer of the tuna tartare & shrimp pastry. Both were good & not too overly filling. I ordered the salmon for my entree & it was cooked very well. Flavors were great. My mom got the lobster pasta & enjoyed it. She mentioned it would be better with a creamy sauce, but overall liked it. For dessert we got two of the ones our waiter recommended. Both were good. One thing about the food was it was wonderful but not the type of food that sits heavy on you. Some restaurants you leave feeling yuck, but this is not one of them. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quaint & upscale. There is valet parking in the back. Our waiter was PHENOMENAL! Niko went over the top to make our first experience here wonderful. He knew the menu through & through but his personality was wonderful. He is one of the best waiters we've ever had in 50+ restaurants we've been to in Atlanta. Highly, highly recommend him! We'll definitely be back!! read more

This elegant French restaurant located in the Buckhead area of Atlanta is definitely a special occasion place. The holiday decor was beautiful and inviting. While waiting a few minutes for our table, we ordered a drink at the bar. Once seated we started with a couple appetizers. We had the Crab Cake $26 and the Escargot $18. For the entree I had the Sea Scallops $32. Everything was delicious. We ended with the Chocolate flourless Cake $9 was good but a little dry. A lovely experience. read more

I'm going to start off this review with the recognition that this is my 12 year as a yelp elite, and I've heard all sorts of jokes about why would anyone spend the time writing reviews just so they can complain about restaurants. But this mess is the whole point. Reviews are a wonderful way to make other diners, aware of the strengths and weaknesses of a restaurant, and also a way to communicate with management so that they can continue improve and reward those who are great brand ambassadors. For Buckhead, life restaurants, I've gone to bistro Niko for a dozen of his 13 years. We live nearby and this is a biweekly destinations for us either personally or professionally. Obviously, the the decor is excellent, very comfortable and inviting. management is exceptional and prove that as they manage through the very trying Covid period and subsequent demonstrations that left Buckhead with many broken windows unable to open businesses. Part of what marks managements exceptionalism is that they kept many of their staff employed during these trying times. I'd like to call out two tonight who are fantastic. Raphael had been with BN for a decade. He's super attentive and always remembers my daughter and wife. We are a bilingual household and he will toss some Spanish to my youngest while greeting me in English. He has brought her a small side of fries (proactively as our meals were not lining up ) and cookies from the kitchen at others. He's a gem and the ideal of what restaurants need: professionals. Mesti has helped us many times but tonight she did again. She I always a breath of fresh air. Super nice. She has just the right touch of being super attentive but not interjecting herself into the experience. I've dined a lot of exceptional restaurants, and she has the touch of the best of the best. So listen the food is great, but I wanted to highlight the people tonight. Go try the food yourself!!! read more

My sister and I came in for lunch on New Year's Day!!! The food was amazing, Aaron was really good. He was so nice to split our entree for us and was attentive. The only reason I gave a 4 stars was the hostess. She was so not nice. We felt so unwelcome. We had contemplated to leave when we arrived. We both work in the restaurant industry and have done all job duties so we would know the expectations. That definitely rubbed us the wrong way. The hostess is to be the first impression of the restaurant and man she was not. I have not came across negative energy in a long time. She needs a new job. The girl with the pink sweater and glasses!!! Go get yourself a new job if you hate what you do!!! Just saying!! You are not nice at all. read more

Our family of 4 decided to try bistro Nicole on a busy Friday evening. Starters included a French onion soup and cheese puffs. French onion soup was in an interesting shaped cup. It tasted nice with the cheese topping. Cheese puffs were somehow lacking cheese. Our entrees included Veal, duck, trout and salad with poached egg. Trout on a bed of asparagus with toasted almonds was the pick of the entrees. Perfectly cooked and flavors blended optimally. Veal was the next favorite dish. The duck was cooked medium and was not as tasty. Possibly it should be ordered medium well. Overall 4 stars. read more

I have heard good things about this place, but sadly it was not up to my expectations. The service was great. We felt taken care of - that's why this place earned the stars. I'm going to start off with what was great - it was the dessert. The Crème brûlée was out of this world. I would have eaten that for the appetizer, dinner and dessert The birthday ice cream was also amazing! Coming to the food: Sorry to say but Everything else we ordered was disappointing for a restaurant in Buckhead. Starter: The French onion soup was very average. It wasn't bad but it did not hit the spot. Main course: The duck was cooked as recommended, medium rare - I loved the texture. But the food was not at all hot, it was colder than Luke warm. The red wine flavor was over powering, and not well balanced. The pasta was not bad, but it wasn't great either. Very average. It's comparable to an everyday average pasta. The Ambiance was amazing - the decorations, a nice festive vibe. It was a nice place to be at for sure. As a huge foodie - the reason why I gave two stars is because I weigh my rating based on food quality + presentation ~ for a nice restaurant in Buckhead, I don't think the food was up to the mark and price. Would not be returning read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant. I quietly sit at the bar and eat, don't bother anyone and tip well. Tonight I ordered the Trout Almandine. If you eat with your eyes first, it looked terrible when it arrived. The fish is folded over and plopped on top of the sides. All the almandine just falls into the mashed potatoes and gets embedded there. I asked for an extra plate please and it was brought. The bartender asked if I wanted the dish re-made and I said no and was eating. All of the sudden I was completely embarrassed by a manager so had to get up and leave my dinner on the bar. I didn't complain, I didn't make a fuss, but a fuss was made anyway. READ THE ROOM PEOPLE. And serve the trout almandine open with the almonds on it, with out the bones running down the center. read more

3.5! Atmosphere/service: our waitress was amazing! I wish I remembered her name, but she was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. Valet parking is $2 which will be cheaper than trying to park in the garage (~$12). Valet can provide change, the restaurant is a cash-less place I came to find out when trying to get change to tip lol. The restaurant is beautifully decorated for the holiday season with ornaments and lights. Such an amazing atmosphere and so cute! Food/price: they have complimentary bread service with butter. Their drinks menus have a lot of wine to choose from as well as beer and some cocktails. I had: - Nouvelle Vie ($15): gin, elderflower, cucumber. Refreshing and delicious, I enjoyed my drink - Au Poivre Burger ($19): peppercorn crusted, mushroom, truffle essence, gruyere, brandy pepper aioli, BBC bun with pomme frites. The fries were crispy and hot, freshly made. My burger was cooked how I liked it. The peppercorn taste was definitely apparent and the truffle was barely there. I thought it was a solid burger - tasted better the next day for me lol. - Baba Au Ruhm ($9): brioche in rum syrup, apricot coulix, Chantilly cream. I thought it would be better than it was - Profiteroles: we got this for free to celebrate my friend's birthday! Choux pastry, vanilla ice cream, bitter chocolate sauce, almonds - it was DELICIOUS. Would highly recommend. read more

We found this experience mostly enjoyable, the food was delicous! The service was very nice until dessert...it got busy and I think our waiter forgot to ask about drinks. I found him and ordered coffee but he forgot again and by the time it came, our dessert was almost finished. He apologized and never charged us for it though. Unfortunately we reserved this for a romantic anniversary dinner, even noted it on our request- and they did give us a nice round booth but....a very large and loud party of about 50 came in and took over that side of the restaurant shortly after we arrived. I'm sure if I would have asked to move they would have accomodated us but we were already settled in. I loved my drink their specialty "St Germaine" came in a little carafe and was light and tasty! They treated us to an anniversary dessert which was so nice. We will be back for sure! They have valet parking- so convenient Restrooms- 4 unisex individual toilet closets very nice and clean read more

This was my first time tasting French Cuisine and this location did not disappoint! The restaurant is gorgeous, once you are inside it's liek you are really in France, there are plenty seating areas, the meju is diverse and everything was phenomenal! My favorite appetizer was the french pizza with mushroom and truffle essence, it was thin, crispy and the truffle gave it such a nice after taste.

I dined here alone as a single woman last Monday night and I found the waiter to be a real creep. French onion soup was good!

Nah, look it's been a while since I've had a 5 star experience at a French spot. But this place has nice valet, beautifully light ambiance, delicious food and our server Abby was super knowledgeable and fun. She suggested the Trois Martin, my friend ordered it and I opted for the There & Back. I hated my drink and it was nothing but crushed iced and not very flavorful. She also advised me to try the SCALLOPS...Sear Sea Scallop, I did & the were the best I have ever had in my life, my goodness‼ The Trois Martini is sweet and blue raspberry like flavor, pretty great! We had the créme Brulée a la Vanille & Ile Flotante for dessert with a Café Paris Martini (has hazelnut cream) DECADENT! They were light and airy yet strong flavors that rang out. I loved our visit and catching up with my friend, the phenomenal food was such a bonus. Thus 1st timer will be back! read more

Paris in Atlanta? Don't mind if I do! A friend and I made a reservation for lunch and were greeted promptly. We sat outside, which I preferred (although fans would be nice in this blazing heat) over the decor inside which seemed oddly Christmas-like. The French onion soup and Niçoise salad were good.

Really fancy place and was really impressed with the service and the attire of all the staff. I really try not to give bad ratings, but this place was somewhat a disappointment. It looks super fancy from outside or even first glance inside. However, there was a weird smell to the place that kind of smelt like a wet rag, also, the food was just not my taste. I got the Tagliatelle and it was very bland. My friend got the French pizza and it smelled a lot like the wet rag I described earlier, so I'm wondering if it was cheese, unsure, but overall the meal was not in line with my taste. The reason for my poor rating is also the fact that there was a fly flying around my table and it landed in my food (see picture), so that along with the taste of the food, it was simply not worth the expensive price of the meal. read more
