Located across street from Sam's in Irmo SC…read more I've been here twice now, it is a good location for a business, lots of parking, large dining inside. There are two picture backdrops for ops nice touch. I like that if dine-in not much wait for seating. Service can be hit or miss based on the server, ours has been hit and miss. Basing my review on the fish baskets as I haven't ordered the boil bag. We like that get two-four fish filets lightly breaded w a side. My side has been waffle fries and then white rice last time. I remember the fries were too salty for my taste and the rice was not cooked through IMO. The cocktail sauce they have is prepackaged, to me it tastes like sweet ketchup just fyi for the business owner. It would be added value to customer if perhaps with the baskets they could include 1 or 2 hush puppies along with the choice of side. We have had the corn here which is fine as they will season it various levels of heat. I think this restaurant is a decent choice for small or large parties, the side issues can be easily corrected.

We started off with some fried green tomatoes.  Everyone does their little twist on them and this place did the same.  Personally, I am good with them as is and maybe some remoulade for dipping.  Here they had a pepper sauce that came with them and cheese melted atop the FGTs.  Not bad and nothing killed or overpowered the flavor from the FGTs.  However, I did wish that the pepper sauce had a bit more kick.  I cannot remember the name but the drink of the much was a peach based drink.  It was good and it was not just some peach flavored alcohol but it was made with peach puree.  They had me at peach when she ran through the specials.    For the main entrée it was the ribeye at a medium rare with fries and asparagus.   You get a choice of a bordelaise or garlic aioli to accompany your steak or whatever you want to dip in it.  Steak was cooked to the medium rare as I requested and that is a good start because we know there those places that consider what you ask for as just a suggestion.  Good flavor from the steak with no need for the sauce as I found out and I just enjoy asparagus.    Good experience.  Despite this being my first time here this place gave the vibe as a solid choice.  One of those places where when you are unsure of what you want but don't want to risk something new because you are hungry or with someone who cannot come to terms with their food desires.  This is a that old, trusted place you can rely on when you are hungry and good service.  A first experience that went very well.

Oh, this place CUTE cute…read more I was trying to figure out a place to go for lunch this past weekend that was good for a quick bite but also had some OOMF to it right? Ofc I scroll through Yelp (as one does - literally hi friend!) and one of the top rated is The Bistro. I whip on over there and, albeit confused with the parking sitch (you can park in the back and go in through the side where the restrooms are, or you can go in through the front? Yo no sé.) I was greeted by this gorgeous host who promptly sat me and a drooooopp deeeeaaaddd waitress Annie T, don't get it twisted, came with the suggestions and shoutouts I couldn't be more excited to get. I decided on The Bistro Bee Sting (yall, I mean come on.. look at that photo. DELISH!) and a turkey melt with some cheese grits as a side. So friggin good. A bit expensive but honestly 10/10 will be back. And GET THE BEE STING! I'm still drooling. 8.4/10 only because of price, but service, ambiance, and flavor were all 10's.

The staff were wonderful!…read moreApparently they had more bookings than initially anticipated and did a great job of accommodating everyone and making sure everyone was still happy and enjoying the experience. We sat at the bar because all tables had been filled when we arrived and we never felt left out of the group. This event was a 4-course brunch and cocktail pairing for $40 a person. A STEAL! The crab deviled eggs and shrimp and grits were our favorite courses. I was so full by course #3 that I actually took a box home with my last course (French toast) and had it for breakfast the next day. I highly recommend keeping an eye out for these paring events and I plan to attend again in the future!

It may be the best buffet with the widest variety I've ever seen. Obviously the great majority is Asian-themed but they also serve Lowcountry Boil as well as a few Southern staples like Mac & Cheese. The entire back wall is a pick-what-want Hibachi order line. Ice cold beer and huge glasses of Coca~Cola!

I fear the prices need to be lower or the food needs to be edible!! Somehow they even made French fries taste none edible. Do not waste your money. None the less it doesn't help you have workers watching you eat right behind you. Let's not forget the dirty looks we received while being watched eating from behind.

I was a little disappointed that the options were very minimal and the prices were so expensive.! I got the hibachi shrimp and teriyaki chicken with vegetables only . Everything had good flavor and the chicken was cooked well. The shrimp was good as well. They had a spicy sauce that was a little lighter than sriracha but was very good. I'd give it a 7/10.

Once she arrived she took our drink orders and after waiting so long we were ready to place our order. I point this out because people seated after us not only placed their drink order but received their drinks before we were even greeted. We waited an additional 20 ish minutes to receive our drinks. I had to find someone to follow up on our orders. It was very disappointing, especially for the price point! We all go to hibachi for the "fun," "show," and "experience." Sadly it didn't deliver. It was a bit MEH. The food was good, but that's kinda it. One positive is that if you bring a cake they will store it in the fridge until your meal is over. I'm not sure that we will return. There are other establishments that we may try next time.
