" My dining experience started well, with a beautiful appetizer, but things quickly went downhill. My main course arrived cold and unseasoned. The waiter was polite but didn’t seem to have enough time for us, resulting in a lack of follow-up on our meals overall. I left feeling quite underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful dinner! The tuna tartare was fresh and vibrant. I also tried the duck ravioli and it didn’t disappoint; rich and flavorful! The vibe was perfect for a special night, and I appreciated the attention to detail from our server. Definitely going back to showcase this place to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to visit Bizou due to its rave reviews, and it did not disappoint! The food was excellent, particularly the autumn squash tart, which was like a little slice of seasonal heaven. However, I did feel that the service was a bit rushed—the waiter seemed eager to get us through our meal. Since the food was so good, we overlooked that minor hiccup. I’m planning to try their brunch soon as I've heard great things about their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Awful experience last week at Bizou. I walked in and had to wait a long time to be acknowledged; it seemed like there was a lack of staff. The food took forever to arrive, and when it finally came, the chicken was overcooked. They offered no apologies for the wait, and it felt like they did not care about my dining experience. It was disappointing after hearing so many good things. I doubt I will return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bizou is one of my favorites in town! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for dates. I've had the duck confit here, and it was divine. While I had mixed service experiences on different visits, I appreciate their unique menu. Overall a great choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great friends' brunch here last month! Everything from the omelets to the baked goods was fantastic. The staff was super friendly. I might have gone a bit overboard with orders, but it was hard to choose because everything looked delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Bizou for the first time last week, and the food was up to the hype! The seasonal fish of the day was impeccably cooked and seasoned. I loved how they used local ingredients. The server was friendly but not particularly attentive, thus the 4-star service from me. Nonetheless, with the level of flavor in each dish, I'm eager to return for another meal soon!
