" I wasn't quite impressed with Boxcar Bistro. While the ambience is lovely, I found the food to be quite lackluster and overpriced for what you received. The duck confit lacked flavor, and I was expecting something closer to what I've had in France. On the plus side, the service was friendly, but it wasn’t enough to counteract the disappointment in the food quality. I should note that my dining partners enjoyed their meals, but I would likely not return unless I heard significant changes had been made. " (*Curated Review*)

" Boxcar wasn't quite what I was hoping for. The menu looked appealing, but my experience was a tad underwhelming. I had ordered a pasta dish, which was just okay in flavor. The atmosphere is certainly pleasant, a lovely place for a date, but I wouldn’t say the food is as impressive as the decor. Service was very professional, but the food just didn’t match the level I expected from this establishment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice place for a special occasion! The food is a touch pricey, but the quality speaks for itself—cooked perfectly and so fresh. The ambience is what really sets it apart; it has a charm that makes you feel like you're dining in a trendy neighborhood in Paris. I can’t say enough good things about the service too, our waitress was attentive and very accommodating, making the night feel extra special. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having just come back from a trip to France, I was very pleased to find that Boxcar Bistro delivers on authentic French bistro fare. The French onion soup was rich and hearty, much like what I had in Paris. The service was prompt, and our server had a great understanding of the wine list. My only complaint would be that the desserts could use a bit more creativity; however, the chocolate torte we tried was luscious! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Boxcar Bistro a few times now, and each visit has been wonderful! Their duck confit is by far my favorite dish. The atmosphere feels upscale yet still relaxed enough to not feel out of place. While the service has always been friendly, it’s been a bit slow on occasion, especially during peak hours. However, the quality of food makes it worth the wait! Highly recommend to anyone looking to treat themselves to a nice dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Boxcar Bistro for the first time, and it definitely exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale, making it perfect for a romantic dinner. I ordered the duck confit, and it was beautifully cooked—crispy skin and tender meat! The service was also top-notch, attentive without being intrusive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Boxcar Bistro was quite delightful! My husband and I shared the escargot to start, which was flavorful and well-prepared. For the main course, I had the sea bass, which was cooked to perfection, while my husband ordered the steak frites that came with a delicious chimichurri sauce. The ambience is lovely, it feels intimate and upscale. Service was friendly but we did feel a bit rushed towards the end of our meal, as if they were eager to turn over the table. Overall, a solid dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
