While some appreciate the quality and consistency of the food, others have been disappointed by certain menu items, like the chicken Parmesan and short ribs. Customers have also expressed frustration over hidden charges on the bill, like a 4% surcharge and a $1.95 service charge. On the other hand, the portion sizes are generous and the ambiance is lively and charming. Overall, Il Bistro seems to have a loyal following and is favored for its comforting food, great drinks, and prime location in the heart of the market. Despite some service hiccups, many diners find this restaurant to be a favorite in Seattle.
Normally love this restaurant, and had planned on dining for a celebration dinner with my partner. Our server disappeared, never took my dinner order, messed up our appetizer, charged us for it, and when the appetizer we ordered was brought out it was terribly overcooked. A large table got seated next to us, and because how they arranged that group, it effectively blocked access to our table. For the last 30 minutes we sat with empty glasses while I tried flagging someone down for the check. Altogether I wasn’t impressed and very surprised. For the money, I’d have expected better, and hope it was just an off night for the staff.
Still in a secluded location making it special. Was late and needed to meet a theater time but staff were excellent, responsive. There was no sense of rush or annoyance. Service was excellent and food was great!!!
Great service! Food was delicious. Definitely recommend.
I have lived here for 31 years and just discovered Il Bistro two months ago while at The Pike Place Market. This was our second time there. Food, service and atmosphere was outstanding and a friendly, helpful staff. We will be back again.
All of our dinners were delicious and the service was great. We had a show to catch later and our server made sure we were finished in time without rushing us.
