Reviews
I ordered the chef’s special beef stroganoff, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The beef was perfectly tender, almost melting at the touch of a fork, and the white wine mushroom cream sauce was rich without being overwhelming. Serving it over a bed of mashed potatoes was a delightful touch—the textures played beautifully together. The parsley garnish and edible flower added not just color but a subtle freshness that tied the whole plate together.
My friend enjoyed the vegetarian Portobello pasta, and that dish proved just as impressive. The balance was masterful: the earthiness of the mushrooms, the gentle sweetness from the butternut squash, and the tender bite of kale all complemented one another seamlessly. The toasted almonds and blue cheese brought it to another level, adding depth and a luxurious richness. It’s absolutely a dish worth returning for.
We started with the baked brie served alongside roasted garlic cloves and Merlot jam with slices of baguette. Every component was spot-on—the brie warm and indulgent, the garlic roasted to velvety perfection, and the jam offering a lovely whisper of sweetness. Paired with a glass of Fess Parker Chardonnay, which carried a beautifully balanced bouquet and a buttery, crisp finish, the starter set the tone for a memorable evening.
For dessert, the crème brûlée exceeded expectations. It struck that delicate balance of being creamy and smooth without leaning too sweet. We also sampled a selection of macarons; while the flavors were pleasant, the texture leaned denser than traditional macarons and didn’t stand out as much as the other dishes.
Overall, our experience at Bistro 317 was truly wonderful. The care in each dish, the thoughtful pairings, and the inviting atmosphere made for an evening we thoroughly enjoyed. Aside from the macarons, everything was outstanding, and we will absolutely be returning. Bistro 317 is a welcome addition to downtown dining—elegant, heartfelt, and delicious.
And I learned they have a buy 4 get 1 free and that they are open for breakfast. Really good to know.
After handing us menus, our server went into the kitchen to eat his lunch while we waited for him to return and take our order. When he finally came back, two people in our group ordered pasta salad as their side, only to be told—after he checked the kitchen—that they were out. We were then offered sweet potato fries as an alternative, but were never informed there would be a $3 upcharge.
When the food arrived, the presentation was very poor and unappetizing. The ham and cheese croissant looked hastily assembled and smashed rather than carefully prepared.
Overall, it was not a pleasant experience, and sadly, it’s not a restaurant we plan to return to.
If you like French pastries you can’t go wrong but it’s not quite a brunchy place like some other restaurants.
