    Grilled chicken salad with Italian dressing
    Pickyguy P.

    First time here and had some lunch!!! We will be back! We sat outside at the sidewalk tables. Weather was beautiful! Service was great...food was great!!! I had the grilled chicken salad and it came in a bowl!!! You don't see salad served in a bowl very often and I loved it! Ingredients were fresh, portion was very good and I didn't have to ask for extra dressing!!! We will be back to try the dinner selections one day! When you go, get ready to guess how many pennies there are on display (thats all I'm gonna say!)

    Salad Southern Fried Chicken Salad and Bistro Burger

    Tried the Bistro out on a whim and we were really impressed. We come a few times a month now! The ambiance inside is a small, quaint bistro vibe and eating outside is a real treat. Service is amazing and the food has been phenomenal. Only bummer is having to go inside to register to pay instead of being able to pay your server which is fine, just kinda annoying. We had the fried chicken salad, burger, quesadillas, Alfredo, chicken tenders, fries, and ice cream cookie sandwiches and ALL WERE DELICIOUS! Pros: Amazing food (everything we've tried we loved) Fair pricing Friendly staff Great outdoor seating Cons: Having to go inside to pay at register Closed Mondays and Tuesdays and early on Sundays.

    Date night in Monroe!
    Brian V.

    My wife and I decided to try a date night in Monroe and the Bistro seemed to have limited reviews that were mostly 4-5 stars so we decided to give it a go. I already knew what I was ordering after previewing their menu on Yelp. We ordered drinks then fried raviolis, Caesar salads and I ordered spaghetti & meatballs and my wife ordered the chicken parm entree. I enjoyed the fried ravioli and the red sauce had great flavor. The Caesar salad was good but the croutons were small square like the store-bought type. With that said, I did enjoy the salad. Considering this is an Italian style restaurant I was surprised that they didn't serve a loaf of bread with butter before the entree. I thought that complimentary addition was customary in a restaurant that serves Italian food. The spaghetti and red sauce was good but the meatballs were small and there was only 3 on the plate. There was more than enough pasta, but I would have rather enjoyed more protein and less pasta. My wife enjoyed the red sauce but she was not fond of the breading in the chicken parm. The chicken was more like a processed patty rather than what I expect in an entree of chicken parm. I enjoyed the limited meatballs with the red sauce and the toasted Ciabatta bread that came with the entree. I'm not sure whether my wife liked hers because she took most of the meal home to our son who seems to have 3 stomaches. She made a comment about the chicken not being what she expected. We both enjoy a good chicken parm. and when I tried hers it was the tendered chicken breast that we both normally enjoy. Next time I will heed my own advise and wait until a restaurant has an adequate sample size of reviews before trying it out.

    Caesar side salad

    Main Street Bistro offers a nice variety of Italian-themed cuisine that fills you up while not breaking the bank. Nice. We stopped in for a late leisurely lunch and were promptly greeted. Daily specials are on a large board so we each ordered one.  Afterall, if daily specials suck . . . well, why return, right? They didn't! The chicken in my wife's salad was fried perfectly and my mushroom penne was  delicious as well. After a couple bites the chef, Tom (whom we learned later is the owner), approached to inquire about his work. I stated the pasta needed more salt which he immediately agreed knowing how sensitive some diners are to sodium. A couple of shakes later and the dish sprang to life. I liked his attention to detail. The restaurant's  hope is "that every bite not only fills your belly but warms your heart!" You did and thank you. Looking to get your belly filled? Warming my heart to happy, too, on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Mangia qui!

    First time exploring downtown Monroe. Read the reviews and had lunch! Great decision!! Sweet staff, great food and quick service. Ate our food before pic!! Empty plate speaks for the food! That was the bistro burger! Highly recommend!

    Salmon and veggies
    Charlotte W.

    Stopped by for dinner during the car show downtown. I ordered the salmon cake special but they were out but they had a salmon filet instead. They salmon filet was delicious!! Perfectly seasoned. The veggies were great and fresh. My husband ordered the chicken marsala. It was delicious and came with a salad and two sides! So much food and all delicious. Our server was new but did an amazing job! We sat outside and it was great service.

    Pasta Alfredo with Crispy Chicken
    Peyton H.

    This is our favorite restaurant in all of Monroe. Maybe even one of our favorites of all time. The decor is adorable, such a vibe. The waitresses are so sweet and very attentive (it's always the same two ladies when we go and we usually visit for lunch). The food is incredible, I'm talking great. You can tell the chef truly cares about his dishes and they are packed with flavor and cooked with care. I also love that they prioritize fresher ingredients! My husband has a dairy allergy (I'm sure the chef and waitresses will recognize our order as soon as they read that part ) and they always take wonderful care of him making sure his meal is made and handled correctly. I also think the prices are reasonable and the location is great! This is THE place!

    Yuck. That's the word that comes to mind. We gave them two chances over the last couple of months,…read moreand I could not have been more unimpressed. The first visit was for brunch -- except there was no brunch. It's advertised as brunch, but the menu was dinner only. Pasta at 11am? We passed and left. So, dinner it was. They market themselves as Italian-inspired cuisine. If this is Italian, my foot is an eggplant. I rarely write harsh reviews, so bear with me while I go into detail. First, the cocktails. I ordered an old fashioned. The older gentleman behind the bar -- who I believe is the owner -- should not be making cocktails. If you're going to charge $20-25 for one, do it right. Invest in a mortar and pestle, skip the premade mix, and don't use bargain whiskey. Smoking the glass doesn't hide premade bitters or cheap bourbon. Second, the bread. No real Italian restaurant would serve this. My family and I genuinely wondered if it came from Aldi or Lidl with a dusting of flour to fake an artisan look. Third, the appetizers. We should have stopped here and gone elsewhere, but we pushed on. The calamari was rubbery, soggy, and greasy. The crostini was fine -- though it's hard to mess that up. Fourth, the entrees. I ordered the ossobuco. One look at the sauce and I knew this wasn't going to be right -- ossobuco shouldn't be sweet, and this was. The meat was okay, but the sauce ruined it. My wife saw my face and started laughing -- until she tasted her own dish. A real Italian restaurant should be able to make a proper tri-color tortellini. This one couldn't. The kids weren't impressed with their pasta either. The staff, though, were good -- no complaints there. Given how cramped the space was, we were genuinely impressed by how well they maneuvered around. In closing: beyond the questionable food, there was an off-putting vibe we might not have noticed if not for the manager's belligerence toward his staff -- we could hear him yelling at them in the back. Odd, considering he spent the whole time sitting at the bar while the owner flirted with one of the waitresses which was the only thing funny about this dinner. Overall, this is one of the rare times I'll say: avoid this place. Questionable food, questionable behavior. Our waiter, at least, was great.

    I want to give a huge shout-out to this Olive Garden, and especially its manager, Shanikqua…read moreCalhoun, for the outstanding customer service and professionalism she demonstrated today. This review proves you don't have to get everything right; you have to take accountability and make it right when things go awry--even when it's not your fault. I ordered lunch for my team from this location via the website. The website offered delivery, so I chose it to make my life easier. The order was supposed to arrive at 12:45 but didn't arrive until 1:06. When it did, the bag contained only 3 of the 12 entrees ordered. The delivery driver had another order with an incorrect name and nothing else. I went to the location myself and asked to speak with the manager, who was already working to resolve the issue when I arrived. She offered to remake the order and refund me for the trouble, which was beyond generous. Everything was exactly as ordered on the remake. I highly recommend this location, but I'd say opt for pickup instead. Funny (not so funny) tidbit: After the manager loaded the new order into my vehicle, the delivery driver pulled up with the missing food . The manager remained positive and reiterated that it was a pilot program and that they were still working out the kinks.
