Phenomenal. The food was excellent, the service wonderful, the ambiance was so welcoming, and the experience was perfect. This will be our new celebration restaurant even though we live 2 hours away- looks like we will become frequent users of the nearby Hyatt. Ally and David took such good care of us! read more

We have been going to LeBistro in Incline Village for many years. The food and service are always the best and consistent. We have a reservation for 8/22 with two other couples. Love the lobster bisque! The cozy ambiance is very special. This is a special place also for anniversaries. read more

The food was amazing. Servers were friendly and very helpful with the menu. We dined outside on a beautiful evening where the trees provided nice shade. read more

Long overdue review, but this place was amazing. Well worth the price of the food that was both satisfying and filling to consume. The service was great as all the staff is personable and kind. The ambiance is warm and fitting especially during the winter months. The food was just what we needed on a snowy day, and the ambiance was the cherry on top. My husband and I were only here for a 3 days, and 2 of the days we spent having dinner here. We look forward to returning on our next trip and hope to share our experience with friends and family in the near future. read more

I liked it before I ate a bite. I don't know if it's intentional or I misread the room but I'm a fan of 70s-vibe elevated (but... homey? Is that a thing) French fare. Think, maybe, Julia Child cooking at the boss' house, prepared by their cook in their over-sized split level. That's specific, I know. But that's the head space I was in and that's the head space that allowed me to enjoy my meal at Le Bistro. I came here with a large group of folks I have known since my teen years and we were ready to eat, drink and carouse. Given our group's size and the relatively sparse crowd on a Saturday night, we were given the big table in the front dining room. Despite being on display I welcomed the seating. Our server was chatty and friendly. Realizing that we were a table of (mostly) newbies, she told us about the $70 prix fixe menu*: 5 courses from appetizer to dessert. Done. Sold. Let's do this. To accompany the first part of my meal, I had to begin with a French 75. The glass was lovely. The champagne was bubbly. And the gin was a respectable pour but not so heavy as to overwhelm the lemon and other elements. Plus, hibiscus for a purpley hue. We're off to a good start. Soup: Lobster bisque. Full of sweet lobster meat, cream, deft use of tomato paste and pepper, and as much butter as one could want in a serving. My cholesterol levels would have to be sated on another day. Appetizer: Crab cakes. I figured if the lobster was a hit, let's stay in the same neighborhood. A plate of Dungeness crab came breaded, flaky, sweet, and meaty to my waiting belly. Paired with a delightful (appropriate use of the word, given the French setting) remoulade, this former New Orleanian had no notes or complaints save wanting more. Salad: House Caesar. Keeping with my fishy meal, I was pleased to note that the salad was very (white) anchovy heavy and the cheese was Parmigiano-Reggiano rather than Parmesan. AND it, too, was served with a heavy hand. I understand that some may want editing but when eating this style of food in this setting, set the dial to 11. Going into the home stretch, I requested a glass of Grenache. Our server let me know that she had a blend. I told her that was good enough and when I received it, I was ready for my entree. Main: U/10 scallops (ie the big boys). No fear of any heavy handedness in this dish. The protein was prepared perfectly so as to allow for the sweet flavor of the delicate meat to come through. And even though it was served 'French-style' (coated in a Fontal bechamel sauce, topped with breadcrumbs and broiled until browned), I never lost the plot on the scallops. Dessert: An assortment of macarons. Completely serviceable (not an insult; a descriptor). Every course was fair to generous in size and I left satisfied, full and happy. This isn't trendy, sceney food. This is old school, well-executed French comfort food and it was wonderful. When vacationing in Lake Tahoe (or, if you live there), I can't imagine not putting Le Bistro as part of the rotation. *Prices may have gone up since then. read more

I would not return, service was slow. I felt like I was ignored. Somebody slapped a random plate down next to me. Didn't even tell me what was on it and my entire meal didn't come complete. I left cash and just walked out on an unfinished half glass of wine and an unfinished meal would not recommend. Sad it has diminished. read more

A very fancy place with a good vibe. A quiet place with excellent food. We ordered a Filet Mignon, Chicken, and some salad. We ordered some bread and I have got to say it was the best I have ever had. They gave us complimentary Soufflé Potatoes and they tasted amazing. The waiter was very nice and she was awesome. Would come back again. read more

Le Bistro - Dining Area - French Near Me - Incline Village, Nevada

The atmosphere is great because of location behind the buildings on Country Club Rd, The service was excellent, never felt rushed, good wine recommendation. The foI'd was excellent with pretty presentation. The Scallops were perfectly prepared in a light mushroom sauce - Coquille St. Jacques. The King Salmon had a wonderful flavor and crisp lightly spiced crusting on the top. Sides of fresh veggies and mashed potatoes were perfectly prepared. Not overcooked. The gals enjoyed the escargot and the guys enjoyed the hamachi and tuna slices on fried potato chips "Napoleon " style As appetizers. The dessert - a mix of items like carrot cake, custard, apricot tart, chocolate bonbon - all scrumptious - a nice finish to a wonderful meal. The meal was expensive but more than justified by the wonderful preparation and fine service. Definitely worth a night out. Definitely worth revisiting. Congrats to the chef-owner and staff for the fine dining experience! read more

One of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the staff didn't want to be there. While the food itself was good, for the price we expected a much better experience for my dad's birthday. We were seated uncomfortably behind a guest with her chair pushed all the way out, leaving us squeezed into our seats. The staff, although occasionally forcing a smile, never made us feel welcome. Instead of checking the reservation list themselves, they asked us to find our own name. When appetizers came, they told us they couldn't fit them in the middle of our table. When clearing plates, they expected us to hand them over instead of picking them up. To top it off, one of our dishes never arrived and neither did our sparkling water for dinner. Overall, the food was decent but the service and hospitality left us disappointed, especially for a special occasion. read more

We always look forward to coming back every year to this cute little Bistro! Their food is cooked to perfection, and their service is amazing! I almost couldn't get a table for NYE, but David made it happen! Tonight, we had the perfect meal to end 2024. See you again in 2025!! Please continue to be amazing!! read more

We went here for a post-bday celebration and it didn't disappointment. The restaurant is small which made it feel very intimate and romantic and the decor is very cute, including the lamps and wallpaper. Both our courses were very good as was the bread that we ordered. The dessert was very good too and shareable. Great service too. This is a great place for a special celebration! read more

Somebody in that kitchen knows how to cook food. Flavors and textures were wonderful, so delicious. Scallops are a real joy.

Hands down the BEST date night spot. We did the tasting menu and every course was incredible. The lobster bisque deserves its own mention -- incredibly rich and loaded with lobster. From the escargot to the lamb chops and the dessert tasting, everything was flawless. An unforgettable evening and the perfect place for a special night out. We will be back!! read more

They have great food and service as usual. Their lobster bisque is a must. Their wine selection is excellent.

I have tried all the local restaurants since i moved to Incline and I think this is the best one. I am shocked they have not been busier the 3 times I have eaten here. They are hard to find as they are facing the back of the little strip mall and you cant see them from the street or the parking lot. This restaurant is definitely worth the hunt. Prices are fair for the quality of food. I really enjoyed the 4 course meal. My friend also had the 4 course meal with no overlap in choices so were able to taste 8 different dishes and they were all fantastic. read more

A Hidden Gem That's Been Hiding in Plain Sight We've lived in Incline Village for five years and, inexplicably, had never eaten at Le Bistro, even though we probably eat out two or three times a week. The other night, we finally decided it was time. We're kicking ourselves for waiting so long. From the moment we sat down, I was impressed. The wine list is easily the best in town, thoughtful, deep, and shockingly well-priced. I know a bit about wine, and most restaurants mark bottles up two times, or more, over retail. Not here. For example, they had an excellent Sonoma County Dry Creek Valley Nalle Zinfandel listed for just $48... essentially retail price. The menu itself is surprisingly expansive. It offers a range of classic and contemporary French-inspired dishes. The food was superb: beautifully prepared, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. It was so good we went back the very next night. In talking with the owner, I learned he hasn't raised prices in five years, which makes the experience an even more remarkable value. The service was attentive, and never rushed. Our server encouraged us to "take your time," which made it feel like an old-school French dining experience, where you're meant to relax and savor each course over several hours. For the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience, the value is outstanding. Of course, I secretly hope he doesn't raise his prices, but part of me hopes he does, because I want him to stay in business for many years to come. Incline Village is lucky to have several great restaurants, but Le Bistro stands apart. After roughly 500 meals out around town, this one genuinely surprised us and it deserves every bit of praise it gets. read more

Intimate ambience, excellent food and service. This turned out to be our best meal of the trip. The place appeared to have a lot of regulars. When we were dining, we noticed the manager greeted many of the customers by name and talked as if they knew each other for years. In fact later in the evening, he even poured himself a glass of wine and sat at one of the tables to chat. Love those kind of places. The decor is simple elegance and the food teeters between rustic and fine dining French. We arrived promptly for our 7pm reservations and was seated right away. As luck would have it, we got a great table ...a cozy corner booth that afforded a view of the entire room. The menu gave us the option of doing a 5 course prefix meal ($70) and/or ala carte. We chose to do 1 prefix and 1 ala carte. Overall, the entire meal was excellent. The special appetizer of the day, Lobster Mushroom Scallop Ravioli and the Veal Chop with a veal stock cream sauce really stood out. The ravioli took a little long to arrive but we weren't in a hurry. Excellent service. Efficient and unobtrusive. The captain waiter and back waiter worked well as a team while the manager helped to pick up any slack. Small operation but well executed. We will definitely return on our next trip. Happy Eating!! read more

A very genuine French bistro indeed. Tucked away in an alley next to a rustic group of low rise apartment buildings. Tables inside are very unstated but the quaint outdoor seatings among young redwood trees and string lights are absolutely adorable. Every dish is served piping hot. Price is reasonable whether you do Ala cart or prix fix. And the desert platter is worth special mentioning: one order and you get a mini cream brûlée, a mini layered cake, seasonal fruit mix, mini apple tart and a chocolate truffle. Yes, going back there again soon. read more

Had a great birthday experience and the staff was so sweet to make a custom dessert plate! Service was outstanding, but the food didn't match the level of service we received. Highly disappointed in the quality and freshness of the food served. Lobster Bisque en Croute - although it looks so scrumptious, it tasted like a chowder, not a bisque. Way too much cream, and the only lobster flavor coming through was in the chunks of lobster on the bottom of the soup. Cesar Salad - never had a ceased salad that was presented with a piece of anchovy on top. Presentation was unappetizing. Tuna Hamachi - although the presentation was nice, the taste was horrible. The fish tasted so old and chewy, I was very disappointed. The hamachi and tuna was not fresh and had such a fishy aftertaste that I couldn't finish the dish. Lobster Ravioli - Pasta tasted old and chewy, and so did the sauce. Very rich, but not in a good way. Tasted like old, reheated ravioli. The dessert plate was the best part of the meal. The crème brûlée was to die for, but I am not sure if that was house made. If so, then I'm hooked! Not generally a fan of this dessert but the caramelized top layer was sooo good, and the crème filling was the perfect texture. So creamy without tasting like a pudding. The chocolate cake piece was also delicious with raspberry sauce. Yum! read more

My family took a trip to Lake Tahoe for Thanksgiving and I made reservations for thanksgiving dinner at Le Bistro. I really wanted to love the restaurant but it was a disappointing experience. The food took forever to be served. And it was bad from the start. My daughter's bow pasta was uncooked in the middle and we had to send it back to get it cooked again. I ordered the escargot and it tasted bland, the last one even had sand in it. The Lobster and scallop ravioli had lobster shell in it. My mother ordered the special Grilled Salmon, and it was still raw inside. My filet mignon was probably the most delicious dish. But the pork just tasted weird. For the price I expected much better quality and attention to detail of the food. read more

This is a cute little restaurant near the lake nestled away in the trees. They have a vast wine list but also do cocktails. You can order food a la carte or do their several course meal. I did the four course meal which included an appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert. For the appetizer I got the crab cakes. They were a little tiny and overly fried. Their sale was a little bigger and filling. For the entre I got the filet minion. Now that meat was butter, obviously order it medium rare! The mash potatoes were a little hard for my taste but still delicious. For the dessert, they give you a plate of four mini treats to eat. The crème brûlée was the star out of the minis. The service was attentive but felt rushed. Go for their wine selection and that filet minion! read more

Great meal at Le Bistro the other night! My favorite was the gnocchi with morel and truffle cream sauce. Service was good and the atmosphere was quiet; perfect for a romantic date night. I'd say the prix fixe menu was a good value for the quality of the food, but wine prices were quite high. read more

Le Bistró is good, but fell a bit short on my expectations. First, let me say that the staff was very nice and I think they were working really hard, so the issue is mainly with the food and atmosphere. We came here for my birthday and it was busy Saturday. We had reservations and were seated in a nice corner booth. From there we could see the happenings in the restaurant and it made for some excellent people watching. We had the 5 Course a la carte menu. For the appetizer I had the smoked salmon. While the presentation was artful, it didn't stand out as something that was much different from smoked salmon I've had elsewhere. Next it was onto the soup- and it was a no brainer. I HAD TO TRY THE LOBSTER BISQUE WITH PUFF PASTRY. YES!!! This was delicious and the dish dazzled and was definitely worthy of 5 stars! For the entree I had the scallops. They were huge, buttery scallops, but the taste was overpowered with...tarragon(?) I'm not sure what spice was trying to upstage the scallop, but it would have been better served as a sauce on the side. Last the dessert trio was a let down. The mini Creme Brûlée had a very bitter caramelization and the raspberry tart and chocolate bon bon were blah. I left those alone. Dessert is something I really enjoy, so if I'm leaving any on the plate, it's an indication that something is amiss and in this case, the desserts lacked flavor. Last, the atmosphere is a bit stale. I think it needs a little revamp. I like that it's quaint and tucked out of the way. It has a charm to it, but needs some updating. Overall I think Le Bistro tries in an earnest way to be great, but is overextended. As I mentioned, the waitstaff was very kind and was definitely working hard to support one another, but maybe some editing of the menu may help and some reworking of the decor would help to bring it into the 2020's. The outstanding Puff Pasty Lobster Bisque was tempered by the lackluster appetizer and abysmal dessert plate. I don't regret coming here, but the extravagant price point should not leave me feeling mixed emotions. read more

I haven't given a 5 star rating this fast in a very long time. Without a doubt the best restaurant in Incline village if you're looking for that higher style/fine dining experience. First off, Paul and Diego were fantastic. Very professional but not uptight at all. They seem to be enjoying their jobs and served us in a very timely matter. They'd have conversation while also serving an entire restaurant and not once did I notice them make any mistakes not with us nor other tables. They stayed proficient and on top of everything. Very strong staff here. The atmosphere, the moment I walk in I felt such a cozy at home warmth from the spot. It's quant, it's small, it's warm. Most restaurants in town seek this modern or gastro look and to me it feels forced or lacking personality--all copying ideas that aren't really coming from them. This place sticks out and gives you a personality that can completely pair well with what they're serving. And now the best part, the food. Starting from apps to main course--and only getting more delicious with each dish. We started with horderves--flat bread pizza type thing and these flaky cheese balls. Terrible way to execute what they actually are but I don't know French. They were fantastic appetizer openers. Paired well with the viogner I got. Appetizers rolled in after that escargot and ravioli's. Honestly, escargot wasn't for me but I've heard raves about it and while the flavors were all there. My mind wouldn't allow That texture to go unnoticed. The raviolis were a bit bland with the sauce and probably my least favorite of the dishes we ordered. While we're on topic of least favorite items, the veggies do coke unseasoned it seems. Mashed potatoes, carrots, and asparagus were just that--nothing to compliment their flavor. We followed with the lobster bisque. First bite made me realize it's only going to get better from here on end. The bisque was so full of flavor and the flake pastry that lay on top just melts in the mouth when dipped and served. I don't eat lobster bisque often for it doesn't always do the job. But wow was this soup a treat. Main course came--holy hell was that a perfect experience. We shared the scallops and filet. Scallops were big, tender, flavorful. I've never had scallops this way in my life and would only hope to find a dish that can compare to these one day. But that filet. Absolutely mouth watering. Every single bite is close my eyes and ride the waves of the Cabernet reduction. The perfect tenderness to the filet cooked medium rare. Juiciest steak I've ever had. I was about to order it again to take on another ride--but was definitely getting full at that point. No room for dessert unfortunately. All in all, can't believe I didn't come here sooner. I'll 100% be back and can't stress enough how amazing this restaurant is. read more

Best part of our dinner was our server Heather. Very friendly and attentive. Food was good, nothing outrageously great. Lobster bisque was good but very watery. Not worth the up charge. Rack of lamb was tasty but undercooked. Ordered it medium rare and came out very rare. Escargot and filet was very good. The 4 course meal for $82.00 was not worth it. Order A La Carte. Also, double check your bill. When we arrived we overheard the table next to us having the check they received refunded due to an overcharge. Our bill was also overcharged by $20.00. Our itemized bill was $264.80 but the "merchant copy" bill was $284.80. Maybe they thought I wouldn't notice but I did. There are many restaurants in the area that are much better for a lot less money and better quality. Sage Leaf, Rosewood and Soule Domaine are much better choices. This was our first and will probably be our last time here. read more

Le Bistro - My birthday surprise dessert from Le Bistro. We love you! - French Near Me - Incline Village, Nevada

We wanted to go somewhere special for my fiancé's birthday while we were up in Incline, and she had been to Le Bistro before but I hadn't. The space is definitely old school, but cozy and romantic. In the shoulder season, we were some of the few people there, but I would venture to say it would be much busier in the summer/winter. We decided to go with the prix fixe--everything was so rich and delicious, but we were so incredibly full after. I would say you'd be fine just getting an entrée and maybe an appetizer. It was all so good though that I was difficult to not finish everything. I will definitely be back! read more

We had too high expectations for this place. We waited one hour for the main dishes to be served and the complimentary potatoes were brought after we finished our food. The wine by glass was not too good, the papaya salad had no flavor compared to other places. The duck was ok, but not impressive. If you are looking for an intimate place where you can hear the conversation at a couple of tables away from you and not too hungry and willing to wait then maybe this is your place. read more

Pretty pricey with service on the slow side. $84 for 4 courses but beware that some of the choices have added cost. Most of the food was excellent in taste but I thought the portions a bit small for the cost. Do NOT recommend the crab cakes. Small portion and tasted no better than frozen fish cakes from the local supermarket. Nice atmosphere. Quite small and intimate. read more

Fantastic French fine dining in a cozy welcoming space. The lobster bisque en croute was the stand out of the meal for me- creamy, indulgent, with pieces of lobster and beautifully buttery and flaky pastry over it. The foie gras was also an excellent choice and melts in your mouth. They also do a great dessert spread of 4 different small items which was the perfect way to end the meal on a sweet note without having to pick just one thing (especially since they were all so good!) read more

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Le Bistro in 2012, and we came back to celebrate our anniversary and we are so glad we did. It's a small little place in the back of a strip mall, and the decor looks just the same as it did last time - very homey, very French, like you are at your favorite Aunt's home in Paris, if you favorite Aunt is an amazing chef! They have an extensive menu that you can order a la carte or get five courses. We splurged and got the five courses and every one was incredible. We had to take a picture of the lobster bisque en croute, it tasted as good as it looked. We also had the lamb loin, the ahi Napoleon, seared foie gras and coquilles st jacques. They have a great wine list with plenty of local and international selections, not just French, and we chose a lovely Châteauneuf-du-Pape that was delicious. They have a few very cute outside tables with blankets but it was too chilly for us so we stayed inside. It's definitely worth a visit for a special occasion or any time you want great French food. read more
