Food: Uninspiring flavors, safe variety

Bistro 1968's House Special Crispy Lobster, Lobster Rolls and Snow Capped BBQ Pork Bun show sparks of creativity, but overall the taste underwhelms. While the menu has a decent variety, and portions are generous, the exceedingly high prices in relation to the quality leave you dissatisfied.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions, often larger than normal, satisfying customers.

  • Almost Creative

    Mix of innovative and classic dishes, some execution misses.

  • Bad Value

    High prices not justified by food quality or service received.

Vibe: Excruciatingly loud ambiance

A jarring atmosphere marks your experience at Bistro 1968. Loud noise and harsh lighting create an undisturbingly disappointing ambiance. The buzz around the restaurant's modern feel falls short due to this disarray of sensory infliction, making it an inappropriate choice for a date night.

  • Okay Buzz

    Modern feel, potential to be great, visit fell short this time.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Loud noise, harsh lighting, and sparse decor negatively impacted experience.

Perks: Hapless service and unwelcome noise

In addition to the deafening noise, the unprofessional and lackadaisical service at Bistro 1968 creates further agitation. The reservation process is a task in itself, being remarkably unorganized. Despite free parking and suitability for large groups, these underwhelming features significantly mar the overall dining experience.

  • Okay For Groups

    Great for groups, though cramped and busy at peak times.

  • Bad Service

    Wait times long; service slow, inattentive, and staff unprofessional.
