Restaurants near Sawin Wildlife Area

This was our third visit to Bistro Nineteen and we have been impressed by every experience we have had. We enjoyed brunch today with our small children and the atmosphere was elevated yet inviting for our entire family. Every single dish that our table of 7 ordered (3 kids included) was delicious! We will definitely continue to support this gem of a dining experience that we are lucky to have here in North Iowa.

Food and service were both great! I recommend making a reservation just in case as it gets pretty busy. There was a little wait but not too bad at all for how busy they were, we will definitely be going back!

It was big city great! There were three in our party and we each had different starters. Caesar salad, wedge salad and French onion soup which were all fabulous with such presentation! Our main entrees were also a work of art. I had sea bass in a chanterelle sauce, my husband had duck and our son had venison. The venison was medium well and was ordered medium rare but that could have been a misunderstanding. It was delicious anyway. The chef walked around to all tables checking on our food. We had dessert of molten lava cake with ice cream and a crème brûlée. All were wonderful. We had not been here before but will definitely return.

The food is very good, Thank you Rich!!! We shared FF so adequate side, It would be nice to be to get a small salad with the meal, included with entree. Our waitress was so fun!!

Overall enjoyed our time. The value is there (this is Iowa, after all) and the quality was OK. Flavors felt a bit dumbed down (but, again, this is Iowa.) The TV above the bar was kinda distracting from the booth we were seated in. My expectations were met and I will be back.
