Delicious and wonderful atmosphere.
The server (K) was so delightful ! Her recommendations were spot on. Service was also well timed.
The out door area is covered with heaters and fire places. Made everything feel so warm.
For the garlic fry lovers, they use real garlic, so yes! They were some of the best fries I’ve had.
The happy hour menu had lots of tasty options and the cocktails/mocktails were so good!
They have shareable plates which was nice great selection an there is something for everyone.

Back Bistro treats us so well every time. The service is always great. I took my parents out who were visiting from out of state. Our server, Drew provided excellent recommendations on both drinks and food that were a hit! It was really nice that he remembered me from a previous visit over a month ago. That level of attention to detail goes a long way in the food service world.
Also shout out to the rest of the staff, chefs for quickly preparing such a delicious meal and the bartender, Garrett, for always making the best cocktails! After your first visit to Back, you will definitely want to come back soon!

Our company had our Holiday Party here. The manager, AJ, did a great job preparing the place for our gathering. He coordinated everything we needed several weeks before the date and made sure our requests were followed. Service on the day of the party was excellent. All food came out as scheduled, and everything were delicious – from the appetizers to the steak/salmon and desserts. We will definitely come back here for future group gatherings.

There is a decent happy hour menu with decent prices, however the portions are extremely smaller than the regular menu portions. I’m not a big girl, and I don’t eat very much but I finished the appetizers within a couple bites. The service is great. The waiters are attentive. I’ve only ever ate on the patio so the atmosphere is pleasant. I just really wish the persons were a little larger and they didn’t try to trick us with the decent happy hour prices.

Amazing service, full of fast working employees! An empty plate wouldn’t sit on my table for more than 2 minutes before it was taken. The atmosphere is so comforting yet elegant. Comfortable seating! Amazing cocktails! We started with the pork belly, it was so crispy but tender and juicy. I got the prawns and polenta and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection! My wife got the braised short rib and subbed for the garlic crème fraiche mashed potatoes, they were so buttery! Every bite of the short rib fell off without pressure. I will be coming here monthly!! After note: who is on aux because every song is a bop

We enjoyed an absolutely superlative evening at “The Back Bistro” last night! From the affable and helpful staff, through delicious cocktails to an unbelievably good dessert, EVERYTHING was first rate! Kudos to the chef! His dinner creations were shockingly tasty! AND, the bartender provided the very best in cocktails! Every aspect of our visit was unexpectedly delightful. Our thanks to Colin, the manager, as well! We WILL be back!

Back Bistro is marketed as an upscale California restaurant serving up American entrees in a polished and intimate environment. Does it live up to this? Well here’s the review:
There were nine of us, six from out of town and three local. It’s our first time here even for the locals. Our criteria for selecting this place was that it had to offer an intimate dining experience with great food (with vegetarian options) and good drinks. We came here for dinner on a Tuesday (2/6/24) evening. Made reservations a few days prior for 5:45pm. Our table was able ready for us by the time we arrived. The restaraunt is located in Palladio, a neat and clean little shopping area. Parking along the street was impossible even for a Tuesday, but there were plenty in the garage. The restaurant is surprisingly smaller than what I was expecting. There’s patio seating outdoor that adds to the dining area which look like it might be a cool place to dine at during the warmer months. The interior decor is very neat and polished; definitely fitting of a more upscale restaurant. Definitely a 5/5. Our server (didn’t get a name… SORRY!!) was fantastic. A young man that paid enough attention to us but didn’t over do it. Service is a 5/5.
As a group, we ordered some appetizers which included Ahi Poke, Goat Cheese Fritters, Cheese & Charcuterie, and Goat Cheese Fritters. All turned out great especially the Goat Cheese Fritters. Appetizers were a solid (5/5). Our dinner orders included Vegan Stir Fry, Grilled Chicken and Gnocchi, Scallops and Prawns, and House Cheese Burgers. The food arrived within 15-20 minutes after ordering. I surveyed the group on their dish. Presentation review were all very nice, a solid 5/5. Taste fell a little short however. While it was good, it wasn’t exciting, not something that one would crave for. Most would give their dish about a 4/5. Personally, I had ordered the Grilled Chicken and Gnocchi. My dish turned out ok but not great. The gnocchi was good and but with very few pieces of chicken in it. The chef had used WAYYY too much garlic that it took over the entire dish. Taste wasn’t bad however and I’m not a garlic fan. Portion size was much smaller than I had expected. Granted it IS a bistro but was expecting more. I would give my own dish about a 3/5. The drinks… all came out REALLY GOOD and did not disappoint. We had ordered Margaritas, Moscow Mules, and Barrel Aged Old Fashioned. Everyone in our group enjoyed what we ordered. A solid 5/5. We also got dessert ordering pretty much one of each from the menu to share. The Sticky Toffee Cake definitely tops the list as the favorite.
Our bill came out to be about $75 per person with tax and tip for the experience which included appetizers, two drinks, and dessert. It’s definitely pricier for the dining experience. Overall value to price ratio is probably a 4/5. Overall experience is about a 4/5. Do not expect to walk away full when dining here. Personally I walked away feeling hungry given what I had ordered. If not for the great company we were with, the experience may be lower. Do check this place out if you’re in the area. The place is marketed as polished and intimate. It definitely lives up to it. Make sure you’re with good company however, grab a couple of drinks and hang for a while. Food is good but it’s not the highlight IMO. The drinks were. Cheers!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Back Bistro in Folsom, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Nestled in the Palladio, Back Bistro offers a chic yet cozy atmosphere perfect for any occasion. We were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home.
The culinary delights began with the Eggs Benedict, which was perfectly executed with creamy hollandaise sauce and perfectly poached eggs. The French Toast was a delightful surprise, rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. For the main courses, we tried the Short Ribs and Steak and Eggs. The Short Ribs were tender and juicy, falling off the bone, and the Steak and Eggs were cooked to perfection, with a flavorful sear and perfectly seasoned.
The ambiance of Back Bistro adds to the experience, with elegant decor and a relaxing vibe. Their craft cocktails are exceptional, complementing the dishes wonderfully. The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive, making our visit even more enjoyable.
Back Bistro truly stands out as a gem in Folsom’s dining scene. Whether for a casual brunch or a special dinner, I highly recommend Back Bistro for its outstanding food, excellent service, and charming atmosphere. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!

The lamb burger was amazing and tasty, highly recommended! Great selection of entree salads which I will have to come back and try.
The goat cheese appetizer was spectacular. It came with an optional side salad that was fresh and delicious. I’m embarrassed to say I forgot to take a picture as I dove right in. Doing some OMAD fasting so was pretty hungry when I arrived. The shortbread was homemade and the strawberries were sliced thin and whipped cream perfection. The coffee was remarkable and from a local roaster and French pressed!
Back Bistro is the kind of place that takes care and thoughtful attention to their menu, dishes, and environment. The service is outstanding and attentive. They have a huge outdoor seating area as well. Will definitely be on my list of favorites in the Folsom area.
