"We had a large party and had excellent service by our server Abbas. I ordered a strawberry refresher and the almond chicken. Both were out of the this world delicious. Everyone else had the same opinions. Portions are huge so plan on having leftovers. Definitely will be back to try more of the food!"

"Today was my first time visiting La Bistro, and I had the pleasure of bringing the whole family to enjoy a meal during the holy month. Despite the busy nights during this time, the experience was absolutely wonderful. The food came out perfectly and was right on time, allowing us to break our fast without any delay. Our server, Abbas, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He was incredibly respectful, patient, and attentive while we made our choices from the menu. He even recommended the steaks, which were excellent. Abbas truly displayed professionalism and made our dining experience special. I will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend La Bistro for anyone looking for great food and top-notch service."

On Michigan there is the unique, but pretty solid LA Bistro. Best part is, you can bring in your own bottle of wine for free. The shrimp burger there is one of my favorite lunch treats.
