We love Retro Bistro! The food is fabulous. The service is terrific. The prices are just right! The owner, Chris, is the best! He makes you feel like he knows you and remembers you. He just might. We hired them to cater my husband's 40th birthday at our house and they were incredible! They thought of everything! We will continue... more

I was surprised to see Retro Bistro listed fourth in popularity. I have been eating at Retro for twelve years and love it! The menu features French cuisine with an Asian influence. The wine list changes every four months... and is reasonable. If you haven't tried it, you should. more
