Horrible Restaurant! My husband and I and two other couples went to this restaurant on Saturday Night. The place is huge. It wasn't that crowded. Â We were seated all the way in the back room of the restaurant and basically forgot about. My husband ordered a wedge salad for $14. It was the smallest wedge of lettuce I have ever seen. It was less than a 1/4 of a head of lettuce. One neighbor ordered the soup of the day. It came in a great big bowl and there was only about a 1/2 cup of soup in the bowl. I ordered the Kennet Square Pizza which was o.k. My neighbor ordered the Queen Cut Prime Rib and the other neighbor ordered a King Cut. They were very small potions and were not cooked to specifications. Â The one neighbor sent it back. I would NOT recommend this restaurant.
Review Source:Went for brunch with a party of 6 and although at the end we enjoyed: there were some slow points of service. French toast were enjoyed and my skillet was hot and good although it was forgotten and i had to wait while the rest of the party were eatting
Nice setting in the rustic area of Chester County.
Their cheesesteak spring rolls are delish. I don't know why they have them on the "bar" menu when there is a bar upstairs in the dining room as well...you have to ask for them. My aunt had mushroom bisque said it was fantastic. Â I had a burger which was done past the med rare stage into medium still ok but chef should know better or pay closer attention to customers specs. Â The waitress seemed to disappear after food arrived and showed up when were almost done...would have been nice earlier to get a refill on a drink...but too late they could've gotten more $ from us on martinis and more stars on this rating.
Review Source:We just left our third visit to Bistro on 10. Â And it was a quick one. Â We went for happy hour. Â Two booths had diners...other than that there was one man at the bar. Â We were directed to the bar, where one customer was paying his bar bill. Â We were not acknowledged by the bartender. Â We sat at there and waited.....and waited. Â And waited. Â The only people there for happy hour! Â We left and told the manager that were not acknowledged or rcvd. service.....he appeared shocked. Â
Very depressing place. The first 2 visits were mediocre, but the happy hour ad led us back in to give it another try. Â In this economy, one would think anyone would appreciate business!! Â We will not return.
I'm not sure why others had a bad experience at Bistro 10 (maybe just a bad night) but we had a GREAT meal at Bistro 10. The cocktail drinks are generous and inexpensive. They also have a great selection of micro brew beers on tap.
I had an excellent Tanqueray and tonic for $5.
Before your meal they bring you small bread baquetts with herb infused oil. This oil was incredible. I know I'm raving about oil but it was that good! We ordered more and couldn't stop.
We also had the truffle fries and DUCK AND SMOKED MOZZARELLA FLAT BREAD. Very very good.
I ordered the King Cut Prime Rib which was outstanding. Get the king cut over the queen. The queen cut was much thinner and not as flavorful.
The service was very attentive without being over bearing.
After reading a lot of fair reviews I was hesitant about eating there but the place was crowded which is always a good sign and the food was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate in going back again.
Note - I am in no way affiliated with this restaurant. I stayed at the Inn and was very pleased.
This was our first trip to Bistro on 10- driven by it plenty of times before. I must say I was surprised to read the reviews after returning home. Our food was excellent, the service was quick and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was nice, I'm not sure if something ha changed recently, but we will definitely be back.
Review Source:Decent dining choices in this area are limited. I'm a frequent solo business traveller with a decent expense account. I was really looking forward to dinner here after wretched meals elsewhere.
The place was pretty empty but I was led to a booth near the kitchen behind one filled with people obviously having a good time. Great, fine, everyone loves a good time, but the acoustics of this place made it sound like all of them were screaming in my ear. After a long day at a customer site all I want is a little peace and quiet and a nice meal. I asked my young waiter if there was a table in a quiet area but she gave me this odd look and basically said no, even though there were plenty of open tables on the other side of the place. OK, fine, I'll deal.
Wine, small caesar salad, rack of lamb medium rare. Wine arrives quickly, a decent if unexceptional Malbec. Salad delivered by kitchen runner, overdressed. The salad, I mean. I ate about half of it. Waiter asked how I liked my salad. Um, really? It's just a salad.
Lamb arrived, looked fantastic and artfully arranged. Unfortunately it was overcooked and bland, served with a mountain of mashed potato and steamed broccoli that I barely touched; both were OK but I just wasn't interested in eating them. Wine glass was emptied and set at edge of table. It waited a good ten minutes before waiter noticed it was empty and offered another one. Was never asked if everything was OK with the main dish -- it wasn't but I was hungry and let it go, and eight chops were plenty for a dedicated carnivore even if they were overcooked. Bailed on dessert.
I'm used to being ignored as a solo diner but this time it was really too damned obvious that my waiter barely had the time of day for me, despite having ordered over $40 of food and wine. You didn't even earn that 10% tip, young lady. Hints: a good waiter immediately notices when a wine glass is empty, asks about the entree, not the damned salad, and doesn't emit an uncomfortably chilly vibe. Where do you think you are anyway?
Two stars because it was better than anything else I've had on this trip, aside from the weekend in Philly and the fantastic Restaurant Week prix-fixe at Rum Bar. OMG.
Although I live in Morgantown, I'm constantly traveling south to Chester County to see friends, work, shop, eat, drink and be merry. Â For the past few months I've been passing by this cute cafe/bistro on the corner of Route 10 and 322. Â The hubster and I decided to give it a try this past Saturday.
The decor inside was very rustic and somewhat eclectic. Â Even though if was fairly obvious that the staff was brand new and still working out the kinks, they were very attentive. Â I'm always willing to let a few things slide in a new establishment.
I just wanted an appetizer (bridal shower earlier that day - still recovering from the sugar overload), and the other half wanted a full meal. Â I ordered the Herb Crusted Grilled Shrimp (with red pepper coulis, savory battered french baguette, roasted pepper salad and shredded goat cheese = YUMMERS!). Â Hubby ordered the NY Strip Steak special. Â When our meals arrived, I was looking at my shrimp and noticed that 3 of the 4 shrimp were grey (not white/pink). Â I'm paranoid about food being thoroughly cooked in the first place, and that just set me off. Â The manager happened to walk by so we grabbed his attention. Â I couldn't even finish my sentence because he looked down and my plate and knew there was an issue. Â He immediately took it back to the kitchen and produced (what I hoped) was a brand new plate of food (cooked through this time). Â I tried to eat it, but was a little wigged out over the raw shrimp and wondering was this new plate of food REALLY a brand new plate of food (call me cynical). Â The hubby LOVED his steak (can't go wrong with a tasty slab of beef for my man).
Although I gave Bistro on 10 only 2 stars, I will go back and give them another try in a few months. Â Hey, maybe I can revise my review in the future! Â The manager was so apologetic that he took care of our entire bill (on the house), drinks and all. Â So if anything, I give them props for trying to make good on what could have been a distrastrous evening had I not been paying attention. Â ;-)
