This is a true 5 star review. Great experience overall at Downtown Bistro. Came in 45 minutes before close, a bit under dressed, but still greeted warmly. Menu is pretty vast, I chose the daily special New York strip steak with asparagus and loaded baked potato based on waitress recommendation. Did not disappoint! The steak was tender and cooked just right with great seasonings. I hardly ever order steak because I’m a bit snobby with steak and don’t think most places cook it well. When I do order steak, I never order New York strip. But I was pleasantly surprised with the best New York strip steak I’ve ever had! Asparagus was good and so was potato. With tax and tip it was about $32. The owner came out and spoke with me for a while. Good conversation. I’ll be back for sure and want to try the steak pasta dish next time. You should absolutely try Downtown Bistro.

One of my favorite places to eat in Kennett. They have the best mixed drinks, if you haven’t tried the Gypsie Juice, you definitely should! All the food is great, that being said, you may have to wait a while for your order when they are busy. But, it is always worth the wait. The portion sizes are huge so I always need a to go box. I don’t think I’ve ever ordered anything that I didn’t like.

We were in town late after a game at the middle school and looking for a place to get a good dinner that wasn’t fast food. A lady at the game recommended Downtown Bistro. They close at 9pm and we walked in at 8:15. I hate going in that close to closing and expecting a lot, but our server assured us we were fine. Casey took care of us and made some recommendations. It took about 15 or so minutes for us to get our food, not long at all. Every thing came out perfect and was great. If you live in Kennett and haven’t tried them, you should. If you’re visiting, stop in and enjoy.

Kennett, Missouri’s Downtown Bistro is quite a surreal experience in dining excellence. Here, you’ve stepped into another world. And it’s one of the kind of things you would wish to see in every restaurant.
I’ve been in town a couple of weeks, found out about Downtown Bistro 3 or 4 days in, and every visit (and there have been many) has been absolutely amazing.
It all starts with correct leadership; it always does, right? Here, the owner operator is from Greece & he’s an extraordinary mentor to all his staff, a great & imaginative chef, apparently a visionary (as evidenced by his careful & innovative design of the restaurant; including interesting photos of the township’s history) and of course, the menu of Downtown Bistro includes delicious dishes for every taste. Everything is delicious— as well as beautifully presented.
In short, I love this place. And the people who work here are just entirely competent, thoughtful, accommodating and good people.
You’d think that each employee was from the same wonderful family…but instead, these thoughtful employees are simply fantastic people who’ve been kindly trained to work in a harmonious work environment. Very amazing experience to see. And dine in.
And if all the aforementioned weren’t enough, the owner himself is a true international war hero. His name is Christos Panagiotidis. This man is singularly responsible for decisively taking charge on the Grecian-Turkish border and for personally saving the lives of a group of innocent young girls attempting to migrate & who were in harm’s way on the border. This man personally intervened & stopped the unnecessary use of deadly force. He saved their lives. Period.
In short, this is really one of those great places.
So, if you’re considering the Downtown Bistro, go ahead and head that way. The people, the food, their friendliness, thoughtfulness and ambience are all together just a marvelous experience.

I hate that I didn’t get the waitresses name, but she was awesome. She was very attentive and said thank you all of the time. The food was even better! I had the seafood platter and the steak and shrimp pasta to go.
