" Dined for dinner and had high expectations. The onion soup was excellent, but the main course didn't live up to it; my beef bourguignon was dry and not very flavorful. The service was friendly, but I felt ignored at times. I appreciate the ambiance, but I can find better French restaurants with more consistent quality around town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Bistro Du Jour given its reputation, but I found it underwhelming. The service lacked warmth, and the atmosphere felt more commercial than cozy. I had a steak that was a bit overcooked and lacked seasoning. Not a bad experience overall, but I expected more considering the hype surrounding this restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I rarely write reviews, but I had to share how much I loved Bistro Du Jour! They have a fantastic selection of French wine, and the bistro classics are mouthwatering. The crème brûlée was the highlight of my meal - perfectly crisp on the outside and creamy inside. Service was friendly, and I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I dined here recently for brunch with friends, and it was fabulous. We had a wide variety of dishes, ranging from omelets to pastries, and each dish was delicious! The atmosphere was lively and charming. The only downside was the wait for a table, but it was worth it. I will certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited again and it's just as good as I remembered! Fantastic escargot and tart tatin! Such a cozy bistro feel and a lovely view. The service was very prompt and attentive this time around. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for some authentic French flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! The pastries are simply divine, especially the almond croissant which I couldn’t get enough of. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch. Service was friendly but a tad slow. Still, I highly recommend stopping by when in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" The seafood platter was a generous portion and quite satisfying, but the edges of the plate didn’t showcase the freshness I’d hoped for. The service was attentive, but the impertinence of some staff was notable. Worth a visit if in the area, particularly for their pastries. " (*Curated Review*)
