About the restaurant

Gonzales Bistro is an upscale restaurant that makes its home near the very heart of Independence square. We are the only restaurant by the square with prime & waygu aged steaks, fresh seafood, New England oysters. The bistro offers a Wine Spectator Magazine award winning wine list, craft cocktails including house made Tiki drinks. Our reputation is based on repeat diner loyalty not marketing.

Gonzales Bistro changes menus often in order to take advantage of local, seasonal products. Chef Parind's food has big flavors & is seasoned assertively, yet is nuanced, complex, and most importantly, balanced.

Come join us and experience big city dining without all the hassles. Gonzales Bistro is a intimate space with an open kitchen, wood ceilings, framed by great black & white pictures from a bygone era while the charming independence square offers free parking, wide open spaces & vistas of historic buildings. Nearby parks, art galleries and shopping define the sophistication of Gonzales.

The food at Gonzales Bistro is always absolutely phenomenal! Each dish is a work of art. The Ahi tuna is some of the best I've ever had. The filet mignon is cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning so that you can really taste the flavor of the steak. It’s clear the chefs put a lot of care into their craft. The cocktail menu has a variety of expertly crafted drinks to choose from. The Mexican Martini and Espresso Martinis are personal favorites.

I appreciate that Bazille maintains a positive vibe. The food is varied and always fresh and tasty. The large windows offer a nice view. Our server, Jason, provided excellent service, which is most important.

Let me begin by saying that we have been At Savor at least 5 times before. Obviously, we would not continue to go if we had bad experiences there. Quite the opposite the students and also the professors are extremely helpful. They always know the ingredients, how things were prepared, why they made the choices they made and so forth. The staff is more helpful than any staff at any other restaurant I have ever been at. The food is very creative and the portions are the right sizes. I find that many restaurants try to make it up for average quality with and excessive heaping plate full of food. Now clearly you do not get all this inexpensively. It is not unusual to $100 per person, 4 courses and paired wines.
