It had been a long time since we had been to Bistro Niko, primarily because our last experience wasn’t the best. For the holidays, we decided to give Bistro Niko another try because of the festive decor and recent reviews we read. I have to say, everything was stellar! Our group was impressed with the food, and the service. Everything we ate was delicious! I think my favorites were the Florida shrimp and tuna tartar appetizers. The beet salad was also amazing. Entrees, you can’t go wrong with the Trout or Twin Beef Tenderloin steaks. Very tasty. Borgi, our server was excellent! Gave us great service and was very attentive. He checked on us frequently without being too much. A big part of our pleasant experience had to do with him. Ours girls night out at Bistro Niko was fantastic!

It is a great neighborhood location that has just the right balance of comfort food (meatloaf, pork chops, seafood, and pasta) with a step of higher class. Priced within means to enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine (or cocktail). A favorite

This evening we had the Portobello Tartare to start, and Beef Bourguignon as our entree. This was possibly the best beef I've ever had, and I am a complete food snob. It was so tender you could have cut it with a spoon. It melted in our mouths! The food was exceptional, the servers were attentive but not intrusive. The ambience was on the loud side, but understandable at a festive family-friendly event. I've eaten here many times, and I've never had a bad bite, but tonight was superlative!
