Bistro by the Tracks

“Absolutely amazing experience! We are native to the area but this was our first time visiting this restaurant. We were warmly greeted and welcomed in by the host, our server was amazing and took such great care of us, the food was more than just great food, it was thoughtful with very special touches, the desserts were absolutely wonderful! We lingered in the bar after dinner. The bartenders were very friendly, knowledgeable and talented. Every employee we spoke to was very pleasant and seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. We will definitely return! Many thanks to the chef for the small plate that he prepared just for us and to the entire restaurant staff who took such wonderful care of us. Great job, everyone!”

“The food was absolutely exceptional—beautifully prepared, rich in flavor, and thoughtfully plated. It truly felt like a special occasion meal. They went above and beyond for my husband’s birthday, leaving a hand-signed card on the table, which added such a personal and memorable touch. The atmosphere was modern, intimate, and stylish—perfect for celebrating. The only drawback was the service pacing. Our server never offered an iced tea refill and empty glasses sat for most of the meal. At this level of dining, timing and attentiveness matter, and the experience felt slightly off-tempo. Despite that, the food alone makes this a place we’d gladly return to—special, delicious, and worth the evening out.”

“Classy, American steakhouse, great for a special occasion or date night. The menu shines with quality meat, seafood, and vegetable offerings. Nice decor and service. Broad wine and liquor selection. The 60-day aged ribeye was sliced and served with simple garnishes to highlight the great beef flavor. It was accompanied with grilled squash and delicious potatoes. The tuna crudo was light and fresh with a Vietnamese theme - topped with spicy peanuts, light chilis, lemon grass, and other garnishes. The three milk bread buns had a light coat of sea salt and were served with a nice butter. The lamb meatballs were nicely charred and placed in a vibrant green and orange sauce. Special thanks to Chef John for coming by to share about the food and his plans for the upcoming menu items. Thank you to Abby for the professional service. Note: This is a premium dining experience; expect to spend around $100+ per person for a full meal and drinks.”

“I first experienced Bistro on the Tracks about five years ago, and while it was excellent then, their new location is an absolute upgrade! It's much closer to my usual shopping haunts, making it incredibly convenient. The interior is a perfect blend of cute and classy, with quirky decor that adds personality without sacrificing sophistication. From the moment we walked in, the staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful, making us feel completely at ease. We even managed to snag a same-day reservation, which was a pleasant surprise and made our visit effortlessly enjoyable. Be prepared to pay for quality, as this is a high-end establishment committed to locally sourced ingredients, but every penny is absolutely worth it. To start, I ordered both the milk bread rolls and the cheddar biscuits. While the rolls were lovely, the **cheddar biscuits were an absolute revelation!** Though listed as a side, they made for the most delicious starter – I'll definitely be getting those again next time, perhaps even skipping the rolls entirely (though they were good too!). We also tried the peach salad, which was wonderfully refreshing. It's certainly for a more adventurous palate, as it's far from a traditional salad, but the unique flavors intensified with every bite, creating a truly memorable dish. For my main course, I opted for the dry-aged beef tenderloin kabobs, and they were phenomenal. The beef was incredibly tender, and the homemade steak sauce served on the side was simply incredible – I highly recommend it! I also ordered a side of loaded gold potatoes, which were super good, but honestly, the delicious corn and other accompaniments that came with the kabobs were ample, so the extra side wasn't strictly necessary. My husband had the grouper, and he raved about it, especially the fantastic sauce that complemented it perfectly. Finally, we finished with the buttermilk pie. It was good, but not a standout for me personally – though I confess, I'm notoriously picky when it comes to desserts! Overall, Bistro on the Tracks continues to impress. The new location, delightful ambiance, friendly service, and truly exceptional food make it a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next meal there!”

“Super nice atmosphere and very good aesthetic inside. My family and I (party of 7) had to wait an hour for our food to come out. I understand this as it takes a lot of prep and time to prepare 7 orders but, the appetizers were such small portions we were starved by the time the food came out. Every appetizer ranges from 20-50$ and would probably feed 2 people comfortably. If you have over 2 people you’ll probably only have 1-2 bites each. Our appetizers were very delicious but I will say the menu wasn’t as large as I was hoping. It was quite the confusing menu as well, the descriptions were so complex I had to google half of the items. I had gotten the lamb chops which were $54 and they only came with 4 shanks. Every meal on the menu doesn’t come with sides which seems a little extreme for the price we are paying. Overall the food was delicious but expensive and a little lacking. Be ready to spend at least $150 for 2 people.”
