“ Not sure why the bad reviews. 10 of us from book club dined in a private room service was fantastic. Blake took very good care of us. I ordered the chicken piccata and it was excellent and a great price for the portion. Everyone enjoyed our meals, and many had desserts which they all were raving about (pistachio gelato, creme Brulle to name a few). The entire wait staff was on board taking care of our group. They were very good about 10 separate checks as well. ”
“ Absolutely fantastic meal. Sorry, I ate the sandwich before I could rake a photo. I ordered the ham & brie sandwich and a small caramelized Pear & Bleu cheese salad, and everything was delicious. I'm not great at trying new things, especially complex or creative sandwiches, but this was amazing. Highly recommend! We came in the evening on a Tuesday, they weren't busy, so it was very chill. I really like the decor. Our server, Cooper, was great, patiently explaining the menu. Never been here before, but definitely planning on coming back! ”
“ Our server, Chris, was friendly and provided great service. I had the chicken taco salad which was great! Lots of fajita type veggies. Recommend! ”
“ Bröntes, a most exquisite dining experience. I never knew upon arriving to this country that I would get to experience such delightful cuisine. However, the French toast did not taste like it was from France, but instead Montreal, Canada. Ironically, after eating the French toast, I started speaking Chinese. Although, the eggs Benedict contained Canadian bacon, it reminded me of my time in China. The coffee tasted like it was crafted by the magical hands of Howard Schultz himself! ”
“ This place is always crowded at lunchtime with a very chatty vibe. If you come a little later, you can hang out with a latte and read (it's attached to a great bookstore). The menu has some good vegetarian options, particularly the quiche de jour, but I tried the egg and cheese croissant today which turned out slightly bland but with great hashbrowns. Service was attentive but the tables are covered with white paper now (a personal pet peeve). Still, a solid option in a convenient location. ”
“ Perfect while she's shopping. Have a drink at the bar. Yes a bar in a bookstore. Long overdue. Who cares what they spend as long as the Manhattan (with a holiday twist) goes down east. About 10 spots at the bar along with all the tables around the bistro equals unraveled shopping experience. Only missing draft taps, but maybe I missed that. ”
“ I have visited Joseph Beth dozens of times, and even ordered coffee from Bronte Bistro's little stand in the bookstore, but I'd never actually dined at this restaurant before, so I thought I'd give it a try. Let me just say that this was not what I was expecting ... and that's not necessarily a good or a bad thing. I was in the area running errands for work, and thought this would be a good place for a quick working lunch. I was wayyyyy off base. Bronte Bistro was packed for lunch on a Thursday around noon, and even a table for one would have taken 20 minutes. Thankfully, there was a seat open at the bar, so I squeezed my way into the corner and popped open my laptop. Like I mentioned, this place was busy!! There was a pretty big range in clientele - everyone from moms and their kids, to men in suits, to little old ladies meeting up with their friends for lunch. The bartender was friendly and fast - she had my food out to me just about five minutes after I ordered. I also appreciated that she didn't check in as often as you might with a regular table ... she noticed I had my laptop out, and respected that I was trying to make every minute count. It was tough to concentrate, but I eventually got into a rhythm and was able to knock a few things out. The prices were not bad, and the food was good. I had the "Pick Two" combo with the Pear & Bleu Cheese salad, and the half Chicken Salad sandwich. The salad was tangy and sweet, and the chicken salad was a good mix of creamy with some crunchy elements. I will say, next time I would probably just order the full sandwich, since that's served on a croissant. The half sandwiches are all served on wheat toast, which is totally fine, but not the same as a croissant. I overheard that they serve breakfast until 1 p.m., which is incredibly generous, and I'd love to come back and try that, but maybe on a weekend when I'm not trying to get some work done. ”
