We needed a dog friendly restaurant. 2 dishes of water were already at our table when we arrived. The cuban sandwich was one of the best ones I've ever had and the smoked wings were equally delicious. The restaurant is in the beautifully rehabbed historic district. The restaurant and bathrooms were spotlessly clean. Our waiter Lucky was attentive and friendly. Service was top notch. We will definitely be going back!

This was one of the best date nights I’ve had in so long! The food here was fantastic. So fresh, unique and well made. The menu was interesting and new, the drinks were fantastic, and the service was exceptional. The hostess, server and even the manager were all super helpful and friendly! The restaurant has a very romantic and pleasant atmosphere, with lots of interesting decorations and chill vibes. My husband, who is the pickiest eater I know, ate everything we ordered and loved it! Highly recommend the Mediterranean Hummus. It was so fresh and delicious! 10/10 would recommend this place for any occasion and we will be coming again.

When we first got there we almost left because we were seated outside & waited about 10 minutes at our table with no service. I am so glad we stayed! Our food was AMAZING! My husband got the elk chops & I had the best Caesar salad of my life. I know that sounds crazy…. But soooooo good! We live about 15 hours away & will make the trip again & stop here!

Really nice place. Repurposed 1920 ish Pharmacy, market Place and Barbershop.Now a Bistro...and WOW great food!We shated the hummas appetizer and Power Bowl. We were traveling, so happy we stopped here!

First, our waitress Shannon was amazing! Super professional, comfortable, attentive and friendly. The food was equally awesome. Very high quality redfish/shrimp plate, homemade hummus was a wonderful appetizer. The husband had a flatbread - delicious.This restaurant would thrive anywhere - really, really good. What a delightful find, just a couple of minutes off of Interstate 10.Extremely welcoming to our dog - they brought him a water bowl as soon as we were seated on the patio, without even being asked. A few other dogs there - no problems whatsoever.Big lot of free public parking, right across the street, so no worries about the vehicle, either. Loved everything!

Good food, service and atmosphere. Cool place in downtown Lake City. Cajun Redfish was excellent, but oysters on the half shell were disappointing. They were tiny, tasteless and not opened properly…still mostly attached to shell. Note to management…Get a new oyster shucker!

It was crowded, but the service was fast and efficient. The Wagyu beef ribs were well-seasoned and meaty. Cooked perfectly. The Elk chops, ordered both medium and medium rare each came out perfectly cooked. Very lean and tasty with a good blackberry reduction that was not too sweet and just the right amount. Expected baked mac & cheese, but it was rotini pasta with cheese sauce poured on top and cold. Mashed potatoes OK. Would still go back - a small tweak to the sides and it would have been a 5 star meal. Lots of of other options on the menu for a unique collection of food and a wide price range for all budgets.

So good! Love our waiter too! Knowledgeable and friendly

I have been patronizing this Bistro for about two years. It does have good food and friendly staff. However, A friend of mine came in from out of state for a visit. And I thought it would be nice if we went to Marion Street Bistro. We Did and it will be the last time I spend money at this place. Let me explain: My guest order a median-rare ribeye, it came to the table well-done. She sent it back, and asked the waitress, which would be quicker a stake or the meatloaf? She said the meatloaf. So she order the meatloaf (because, she tasted a bit from my wife's plate, which she order meatloaf. So we waited , and waited on the meatloaf. My wife gave half of her meatloaf, so she could eat with us. After we were all finished, the waitress set the meatloaf on the table. Literally all our plates were empty. I asked to speak to the manager. I explained the above situation, and asked if she would comp here meal. No was here reply! So we said we did not want the meatloaf. So we left. I looked at the ticket and they even charged us the the mash potatoes and veggie, that she ate with half of my wife's meatloaf! I went back in the next day and left my name and number with the manager for the owner to call me. He never did! I don't expect much when I go out, good food, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. Nevertheless, when the place overcooks your stake, brings the main course out 25 minuets and does not want to take any responsibility for anything! That's very poor management! So they are going to lose several hundred dollars if not thousands over a $14 burnt meatloaf! Neither will I recommend anyone to the place!

Best hummus dish ever. Roasted garlic, pesto, roasted peppers, warm pita. Good selection on menu, raw oysters were very good, not so much for the oysters Rockefeller. Good bar with a good bartender. Our server, Ashlyn, was attentive and pleasent. I'd we are back in the area, will go again.
