    The food was delicious. Services excellent. There was a problem with the lighting which would cycle by itself from acceptably dimmed to very bright. We will come again. Great experience.

    I reserved a special from Mercadito called "Amor y Sabor" and boy it did not disappoint. The ambiance was very chill and the music was not too loud. Our waitress was very nice and attentive with us. The food was fantastic it consisted of a 4 course meal. It began with a shot of tiger de leche (Peruvian cuisine). Then we had a choice of camarones ceviche which was super tasty and flavorful. After that, we had queso Birria tacos with the dip and that was also delicious. Next but not least, we had some nice and tender strip steak which was perfectly cooked and was easy to chew. Our night was capped off with some churro desert and a glass of champagne. Overall an awesome and exciting experience and would highly recommend it!

    Another wonderful dining experience at Bistronomic! I have been dining here for fourteen years and never been disappointed. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated. After time to settle in our server arrived and took our drink and menu orders. We started with the three cheese board which we thoroughly enjoyed. Then we had the Maine Lobster Bisque and Mini Comte Cheese Ravioli as our appetizers and they were delicious. For our main courses we had the Prime Beef Shirt Rib and Homemade Fresh Ricotta Tortellini which were both wonderful. Chef came by and visited each table to check on our dining experience which is a very nice touch. Bistronomic is a warm, friendly, and inviting restaurant with delicious cuisine!

    Best meal I've had in a long time. We ordered everything off the vegan menu and it's so refreshing to have options that are so full of flavor and don't rely on faux meats. One of my favorite places to come in the city. And best green beans in the world!
