The place is really nice. The staff was very informative and friendly. The food was outstanding. The servings were definitely enough to satisfy the heartiest appetite. This was a first time visit for us, but definitely not the last. Bessemer is a tasty place.

We stopped in Saturday because we were hungry and this place did not disappoint!! The food was delicious and the portions are plentiful. I had the omelette and my friends both had shrimp and grits. My apologies for not taking pictures. The drinks (lemon drop) martinis were good too. Everyone was nice, super accommodating, courteous and professional. And that was so refreshing and welcoming that we went back the next day (Sunday) for the live band and had another awesome experience!! It’s a nice drive from where we live but we will definitely be regular customers.

All I can say is Jesus take the wheel……. I ordered off DoorDash. I got the baked spaghetti with the salad and the game day box. Let’s just talk about the chips in the game day box. They weren’t regular tortilla chips. They were seasoned tortilla chips. You can eat them by itself and they taste so good. The baked spaghetti with meat sauce. Oh my God, it was so good. My salad was an entrée by itself. It was huge. The spaghetti was huge. I ordered peach cobbler, but they were sold out of it. At first, I was upset, but they did a substitute of their strawberry cheesecake. That cheesecake was like heaven. Every bite I had to just close my eyes and just Savor it. This Restaurant is a hidden gem. If my food was this good and I ordered from DoorDash, I cannot wait to go sit down in the restaurant itself. Hands-down, the best restaurant I have been to in a very long time.

I love the live music and the staff was more than accommodating to our wants. The Bistro is that place for a grown and sexy vibe. Great drinks and food prepared to perfection.
