Outstanding Food – I went to this place on a friday evening at 6:30pm without a reservation, and was able to get a table for two immediately.

Affordable French – I can't afford to go to the Le Francais and Le Titi's of the area too often, so my wife and I come here when we have the taste for French. Whenever I come here I order something different, usually from the Fixe Prix menu that constantly changes. So far, I have not been disappointed. Our latest venture was New Year's eve and I had a lobster appetizer, cream of pheasant soup and orange duck that was all outstanding. Portions decent sized. The price is right, too. Many entrees under $20 and Fixe Prix is arou... read more

Good food, strange location. – I've been here a couple of times and both times the food was quite good. The location is a little strange for this type of food, and am surprised that it's lasted in this location for a few years. Great menu selections. Consistently good food!

RETRO BISTRO IS THE BEST – I went to Retro Bistro, with a couple of my parents friends one friday night. It was excellent. The food was superb. The atmosphere is excellent, our waiter was the best. I had Steak Frites, and it was amazing, we also shared the chocolate sampler and it was very good.
