    This restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the service was amazing. First, there was a long wait (Sunday brunch), and my partner has accessibility issues and walks on a cane. They pushed us up to the front and sat us immediately because they didn’t want her to stand to long. That was so kind of them, and they didn’t have to do that. Next, our server Angel was so sweet and gave us the best service. He greeted us with kindness, explained what we didn’t understand, and made sure we had everything we needed. The espresso martini and pistachio latte were to DIE for! The skirt streak was amazing with both of our meals. And they sung happy birthday to me! It was an amazing way to celebrate my birthday and if we ever come back to Miami, we’ll be back!

    The food and service here are exceptional! So many options to choose from, check the menu beforehand cause you have OPTIONS and may be overwhelmed with the selection. Everything we had was great! Portions are HUGE so come hungry!! Great atmosphere and service!! The rating they get is truly legit! Parking can be an issue, but if you find a place to park, your stomach will thank you for visiting Bistro Cafe in Downtown Miami.

    We had a wonderful experience thanks to our waiter, Carlos! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Carlos had great recommendations from the menu and checked in just the right amount — not too much, not too little. His warm attitude really made my birthday special.
