"We had an incredible date night at 1424 Bistro. We shared the saganaki (outstanding, unique appetizer), my husband got the orange roughy, and I got the halibut. Everything was spectacular. Very flavorful and fresh. Our server was Kristin and she was so helpful and kind.
Don’t miss out on this wonderful restaurant..especially on these beautiful Spring nights out on the patio.
We will be back!"
