I've been coming here for years and I love it. The food might be more like 3 stars but the service is good and the atmosphere is warm. Worth checking out. Best nights are on the weekends, especially during the summer. read more

A neighborhood gem. Great find in Piermont. Reminiscent of Provence... Southern France. Even authentic French tablecloths. The menu is wonderful, the wait staff are friendly and amazing. The specialty drinks are sophisticated and delicious. Good selection of wines. An instant new favorite go to place for me and our family. If you have ever been in southern France, you will be at home. Pleasantly surprised! read more

I ate hear for the first time tonight. It used to be mexican but now it's a french bistro. the outside seating is very nice in the warmer weather. The inside looked cozy too and i'm told they have an outside Tiki Bar in the summer too. The pizzetta was terrific as was the creme brulee, they served it with some brown sugar baked in. the scotch they served me was nearly a full glass instead of the usual quarter! this could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. The prices were high though, more then i like to spend on eating out. read more

Had a great experience here. Sat outside and had some delicious pork and risotto. The waiter was attentive and friendly, and the food was delicious. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food and the quality that you get. They also have a nice wine and dessert selection read more

We went to Sidewalk Bistro on Saturday evening, and it was quite busy. We were offered a table on the inside, not far from the bar, but opted to wait for a table in an adjoining room, which was quieter (there was a large party in the other room). There are also tables outside the front of the restaurant and in an inner outdoor courtyard, but it was a little too cold for us. In warmer weather (or, perhaps, a bit earlier, before the sun went down), the courtyard would have been very appealing. The food was generally very good. My wife and I shared Mussels a la Basquaise, with prosciutto, peepers and tomatoes, as an appetizer, and it was quite good. One of our friends had scallops cerviche as an appetizer, but was unhappy with it because it was made with cilantro, which she doesn't like, and it was not mentioned to her when the waiter described the dish. We tasted it, and I would describe it as OK, but not great. I also had the fish special (as did one of our friends), which was prepared with a fish which was described as being similar to grouper and with a provencal sauce. This was quite good, and I would recommend it if it is offered in the future. My wife had shrimp and scallops with spinach pasta in a saffron sauce, which was also quite good. Our other friend had duck, which he enjoyed. The bottle of Sancerre wine which we ordered was excellent and cost about $40. For dessert, we had sorbet with fruit and Belgian waffle, which we shared. Both were well prepared and presented in a very attractive way. If I had any criticism, it would be that the service was a bit slow. Also, the staff, although very pleasant and welcoming, just missed a few things that they shouldn't have. For example, a large number of people have an aversion to cilantro, which does usually have a pretty strong flavor. This should not have been left out of the description of the dish. In addition, one of our friends ordered tea, but, when the teapot was brought out, it appeared to be cracked, and water leaked out all over the table. They replaced it, but given the size of the leak, they should have picked this up before bringing it to the table. This is basically a very nice restaurant, and I would definitely recommend it to people looking for this type of food and atmosphere, but the management might want to invest a little more time in training the staff. read more

Great place, especially when you can sit outside in the garden. It's a little bit of French food in Piermont, with charm, good service and fun atmosphere. Don't miss it! read more

Good French Onion soup and Caesar salad had just the right amount of anchovies. Crepe appetizer with pear and feta also very good and light. Love the tables in the front we can sit with our dog after a walk around lovely Piermont. read more

This is one of my new favorites! A hidden gem in Piermont. Food is fantastic! I had the mussels which are offered in 3 different broths (I tried all 3 on different occasions). I recently had codfish. It was fresh. The staff is very friendly. Bobby the bartender is awesome and he knows his way around a bar. I would recommend anything on the menu. It's that good! read more

Will definitely not Go there again. They changed wine Wednesday from BYOB to 50 % off one of their bottles. read more

Decided to try this place as opposed to the usual Freelance due to their outdoor seating. Big mistake. Sitting here writing this review feeling worse than I would have if I had eaten at McDonalds. First, I ordered the shrimp cocktail which ended up having a big piece of black hair on the shrimp. After I noticed the hair, I waited about 25 minutes without any server coming back to my table. Finally, my boyfriend caught the attention of one and they took it back as we asked. For an entree, I ordered the seared scallops and shrimp with snap peas and quinoa. No flavor to the snap peas definitely were previously frozen. The shrimp and scallops were eh. Overall, the best thing at our table was the fries. Definitely not a place I would ever return to. read more

Alway a great meal. Friendly staff, great service and atmosphere is causal and exciting

Cute little place when it's not too busy. Mussels and risotto have been fantastic every time I have it!! In fact I want the mussels now! Came for the first time a few years back as an out of towner and loved it. I am long over due read more

Food was excellent, Service, Sarah was a wonderful waitress. We were able to talk, and have a nice leisurely dinner. It was recommended by a friend and associate, and I would certainly recommend it as well. Everyone enjoyed their meal read more

Sidewalk Bistro - French Near Me - Piermont, New York

Best think about this place was the wait staff. Worst thing was the excuse of a manager they had. Not sure what the kitchen issue is. I think maybe understaffed. Food shouldn't take over an hour to get to the table. read more

Fantastic Bistro!!! Wonderfuly prepared specials, wine options (Bruce Wayne), Gastro Beer...can't beat Prix Fix value during week. Mingle with locals at Bar. St. Pattys Day specials were superbly finished...would have had second serving but portions were just perfect. C'est Magnifique!!!! read more

Consistently delicious food and good service. Sunday lunch menus are great and very affordable and the mussels are soooo good! looking forward to coming here again! read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! I got salmonella or some type of terrible reaction from undercooked chicken, violent vomiting, dizziness, sweats on the side of the highway about an hour after eating here. When I called the next day to speak to the owner or manager I was told I'd get a call back that night and never did. I looked online and you can get sick that fast, but when I finally talked to the ill-informed, unprofessional manager he disagreed, is he a doctor as well!?? They refused to refund my dinner amount that I paid stating that someone had to order the other half of the chicken I ate, and nobody else complained about an illness. How do I know that's true?? What if their half of the chicken was properly cooked, unlike mine. They consistently tried to blow me off in an unprofessional manner hoping I'd go away, very sad. I contacted the Health Department and I was informed later that they were cited for making salads with no gloves on so clearly cleanliness is not paramount. Very unprofessional and uncaring. read more

My husband and I were there last Saturday early evening. We chose to sit at the bar and have an early dinner. Bartender was very attentive and courteous. We had the coconut mussels with frites and a cold seafood salad both were delicious. This was our third time and we will keep coming back. Highly recommend it. read more

Had dinner tonight. Food was good but service was horrendous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our drinks never came. We had to go find the waitress to get the. And our desserts never came. We had to ask 2x for them. After 45 minutes we gave up. read more

This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Rockland county. The food and service is top notch! My favorite menu item is the burger, I have had burgers all over the country but nothing compares to the one here. The other dishes are amazing too, all very flavorful and nicely prepared. 10/10 would recommend, I would give it more stars if I could!! read more

Our favorite date night location. They are consistently good and the staff is very accommodating. Today we were disappointed at our favorite place. We were basically ignored by our server. Husband ordered a Stella Artois and received some kind of ginger beer or strong ale in a pint glass. When we questioned it the server argued with us and said we were wrong he poured it himself. Trust me, it was NOT Stella. It was a family celebration and we spent much of the time waving our server down. Lobster risotto not great. Crab cakes and muscles were awesome. Disappointed mostly in service. Spent $250 regret for first time. read more

Recently retired and wanted to do a "retired thing" with my wife and decided on afternoon outdoor drinks and food in Piermont. Chose the Sidewalk Bistro and we were glad we did. Soooo relaxing and the food and drink were great. The pastry crust pizza was amazing (we had the bacon and onion based on other reviews) and it was tapas night and we both had a petite filet cooked perfectly medium rare. The Macroon dessert was also unique and delicious. Service was personable and perfect with Alyssa taking care of us and everyone else we encountered. Not from the immediate area but not far and we will be back and with friends. Love finding new places to eat. read more

Awesome time with a group of 3 on Bastille Day --- I got the escargot as an appetizer (pretty good) and the lamb chops were superb -- plus our waiter was excellent. Love dining outdoors in Piermont -- even met and conversed with the owner of Sidewalk Bistro (he was incredibly friendly) as he walked by our table. I would definitely visit Sidewalk Bistro again the next time I'm back in town. read more

Upon our arrival we were greeted by a lovely hostess. Pleasant atmosphere, the only thing that was missing is music. Refrain from ordering pizzas. read more

Whether you are seeking the best Hamburger in the tri-state area or a delicately prepared fish offering - this is the spot. Service is exemplary and pricing is quite reasonable. read more

Was here on Memorial Day with my girlfriend. The food was amazing, the service was perfect (attentive but gave you time and space to decide on your order). My girlfriend unfortunately started to not feel well before our food came out. The wait staff and bartender were very helpful in getting EMS to tend to her and after all was cleared got us another table and we were able to continue our meal. They took care of her as she was family and I couldn't be more pleased with how well they take care of their customers all around. Will definitely return here many times over. read more

Poulette ....white wine, cream, shallots, garlic, parsley GET! Duck Breast & Confit...coconut yam purée, ginger maple glaze GET! and we were not only impressed with food and drinks but the gentlemen named Bob who is the manager (if he is not the owner, they should make him one) keeping us updated on waiting for a table and then followed through during our meal and literally had us laughing all night long...because after dinner we moved to the bar instead of going home like we should have...we will be back! read more

This place is great for big events or casual dining. Had an amazing and delicious meal at the Sidewalk Bistro for a college graduation supper. The restaurant was incredibly accommodating, providing a private area for a party of 20. Pre-determined appetizers were brought to the table as soon as everyone had arrived, while drink orders were constantly being taken by the wait staff. Sal, our main waiter, was so quick, anticipated many of our needs, and was very patient with a group this big. He brought out our main dishes very promptly and all of our orders were correct and delicious! Can't wait to go back again. read more

Every time we visit, it's delightful. It's especially inviting when you can sit either out on front sidewalk OR did you know they have (our preference) a lovely back garden/patio area? The menu, the service, the food, the cocktails -- all deliver. read more

Just ordinary food. Very unprofessional service. "Tourist Trap".

Went on a Saturday nite. Third time. They do not take reservations. This is just stupid. Once again, waited 35 minutes in a crowded area. Noisy. This is expected. Owner could have offered a little something but did not. Won't go on Saturday anymore. Food is excellent as is service. Server presents specials with no prices. Would they have a menu without prices? Don't think so. Most are embarrassed to ask prices but I did and got a "look" from the server when I did. read more

This is a great place, the food is excellent wether it is the Duck, the veal chop, or the mussels. If you like to sit at the bar, this place is friendly and fun. The people are regulars, and it's a great scene. Really worth checking out. read more

My sister treated me to lunch for my birthday. It was perfect. We sat outside at a table that reminded be of being at a cafe in Paris. The food was so delicious. We both had burgers cooked to perfection. There was no problem asking for a substitution for the side dish. Service was friendly and attentive. It was a memorable meal. What a treat! read more

Appetizers where very good particularly the Calamari. Crab Cakes ok. Mussels with curry were ok and Halibut poor. It was over cooked . Service started out good but tailed off some. Told the waiter about the over cooled Halibut but no response from him. Wines by the glass, white had one French white even though this was a French Restaurant? read more

Made a reservation and took my family for lunch on a Saturday. It was busy and the service was a little bit on the slower side. However, it was worth the wait. The bread basket arrived and it has some delicious bread and small croissants which were fantastic. We stared with the pate' and the cheese platter. It was enough food right there. Next, we ordered mussels- Provençal in wine and also a batch of the curry ones. They arrived steaming hot, perfectly cooked, and were delicious! The fries were also delicious. Tons of food and enough for more than two for sure. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert. We will be back without a doubt. read more

I've been here a couple times already. This time I tried the steak tartare dinner portion and a couple of the Blood Orange bubbly cocktails. Everything was amazing, the cocktail was very bubbly and refreshing. Especially on a hot day like today. Highly recommended! read more

My husband and I used google maps and stumbled upon this unassuming gem. We usually would have gone to AlainsBistro but the app says it is permanetly closed. Much to our delight Sidewalk Bistro stayed true to bistro fare and executed it brilliantly. The Sauternes and Armagnac to complete the meal were affordable and exceptional. read more

Had a great lunch again! French onion soup is always good, crab cake was all crab, no filler and the white wine from Michigan made lunch today tres bon! If you like french bistro food, put this restaurant on your list. read more

Nice spot. If you want to eat outside there are the tables near the street but the back of the restaurant has an outdoor area that is quiet lovely and a little more quiet. Food was great but it took awhile for it to come out. Service was a little lack luster. When it did come, main entree was quite good. There were 3 in our party and we all enjoyed what we got. Didn't order dessert , just coffee. One coffee came out with a spider in it. No worries... This is one of the perils of eating outside however our server never noticed that the coffee sat there untouched. All that being said, food was good so I will go back again sometime to give them another shot. Worth a try is what I would say on this one. read more

We had a birthday celebration and met up with a few couples. We were seated in a beautiful garden in the back of the restaurant with its own bar, very inviting. Friendly staff and good service. We ordered a verity of dishes that were all very tasty and nicely presented. Prices are reasonable and we all enjoyed the atmosphere and food we had. Highly recommended, we are surly coming back here. read more
