Bistro 524

Reviews look like we missed something good… the restaurant closed on September 20, 2014. (

Great food, great service, and a very nice ambiance. Why would anyone not give this place 5 stars. This is one place that deserves all 5.

Groupon turned us onto this little gem hidden in a small, nondescript mini-​mall on a main road in front of a CVS. Inside, two beautifully decorated and separate dining rooms are bridged by a closed kitchen. Everything — and i mean EVERYTHING — that we have ordered has been outstanding and actually extraordinary. This is honest, fresh, inspired and thoughtful cuisine — well worth the price and drive.

It is always a little nerve wracking when you walk into an establishment and there’s no one there. But then I realized that the other reviewers had said that it was a quiet restaurant. Putting my faith into the other reviewers, I ordered, a croissant with fresh strawberry jam and melted brie, a garden salad, and bistro potatoes. My mother ordered, an omelet with spinach, pepper and onions. I remarked at how fluffy her omelet was and she said it was delicious. My croissant was everything you expected it to taste like and more. It was outstanding. The Bistro potatoes (read homefries) were delicious. the ONLY negative thing I have to say about the food, is the salad. It was a vinaigrette on top, and I couldn’t taste the vinaigrette. It was like eating wet lettuce. If you don’t require much by way of your salad, order away. Apparently, we were the second table this week to come in based on Unilocal reviews, so keep it up Unilocalers!!!

My husband and I ate here last weekend and we loved it so much we are going again this weekend with friends. Great menu and lots of food. I had the veal chop and my husband had the pappardelle bolognese. He was saying he was finished and taking the rest home but then he continued to eat and finished, very stuffed. I ordered ice cream for dessert and four huge scoops were delivered, with ONE spoon. Obviously I could not eat it alone and after getting another spoon, the two of us couldn’t finish it.
The menu is upscale and it is so nice to have a restaurant close by with that type of menu. It was very quiet on a Saturday night. I think they just opened in Dec. (after the demise of Restaurant 524) and I hope people find them. Would hate to see this restaurant not make it also.

I came here for brunch with a group of 7 last weekend and we all really enjoyed our meals. The menu is a bit different with items like crème brule french toast and chorizo biscuits and gravy.
I would recommend checking this out for brunch if you are in the area.
