This wad the first time trying Bistro 41. It was delicious! ...and expensive. We started with wine…read moreand I had a Willy Wonkatini (chocolate martini) .. it was really good! (kinda on the smaller side) i did end up getting a second one ($15 each). For apps we got the tuna cervichi and flatbread. (I do not eat raw tuna, so I have no option on that dish. But the rest of the table ate it up) The flat bread was great too. It had black olives, figs, tomatoes and lots of cheese. For dinner we each ordered something different. I got the crab cake stuffed Salmon with seasoned spinach and mashed topped with, what i think the waitress said was lobster sauce.. altho my friend that got the seafood risotto was supposed to have the same sauce on top but hers was a much more red color. The risotto was another great dish. It had scallops, big shrimps and muscles in it. Cooked perfectly. My friend had the Sicilian Penne. He said: It was a delicious pasta dish with sausage and cannellini beans. The Gorgonzola cheese was an amazing addition that really took the dish to the next level. Our server Sydney was great. She let us know they were short staffed some wait ataff and she may have been backed up (there was probably 6 tables in there at the time idk.. where I waitress i have a 12 table station, and its fast paced..) but she still a great job. The restaurant its self love nice after the renovations, but inqoukdnhave never known it was a finer dining place rather then a typical breakfast diner from the outside of it. Ill be back! There were other things on the menu I'd like to try. (Please, dont mind the photos, we were all just so excited to dig in i didn't remember to take pics till we were 1/4 of the way into eating)

I saw peel and eat shrimp, fish, salad, slaw and potato salad. I sampled the slaw which was fine. They had an interesting string bean dish. On the meat side they offered sliced ham and prime rib sliced in front of you. I was happy with the ham and prime rib. Two things I want to do. I want to come back and tasted their normal menu. Hopefully put this intio the rotation.

The triple tail was the kind of dish that makes you wonder why this fish is not on every menu in Florida. Light, flaky, and perfectly cooked, with the crab cake adding just the right amount of richness without stealing the show. The walleye was just as impressive. Crisp where it needed to be, tender where it counted, and clearly handled by a kitchen that understands seafood. Nothing overcomplicated, just really well executed. The drink selection also deserves a shout-out. Plenty of good options to pair with dinner, whether you are feeling like a cocktail, beer, or wine. It is always nice when a place puts as much thought into the glass as they do the plate. All around it was one of those meals where everything simply worked. Great food, good drinks, and a kitchen that clearly knows what it is doing. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

The quality is average for what you're paying for the meal. Meanwhile the service is an example of why there has to be better options. Our waiter wasn't really interested in our table. He took a long time between courses. And it took 40 minutes to bring out a ready made cheesecake. This is unacceptable given the fact the entire meal order was placed at the beginning of service.
