Lire plus While I was deeply saddened by their absence from Downtown Covina, I am pleased to say that Bistro is back and better than ever in Dana Point (Southern Orange County). Location: absolutely perfect!! Great area pretty close to the beach and within walking distance to plenty of other restaurants and shops. Parking is free easy. Decor/ambiance: the space is gorgeous. The exposed stone of the bar gives a rustic feel that is blended beautifully with the tables/chairs. Lighting at night is perfect and gives a slightly romantic vibe. Drinks: well crafted artisanal cocktails and a fabulous selection of wine and beers. Food: the menu had been changed from the Covina location but for the better in every way. Classic favorites are there from before but now there are even more options which blend the French, Asian, and American cuisines. Chef Manny is truly a master chef and takes the utmost pride in each dish that comes out of his kitchen. Moreover, the artistry and creativity that he manages to bring to the menu is nothing short of incredible. Service: I mean...truly exceptional. Short wait time for table, wonderful welcome from our server in addition to fantastic recommendations, and overall a great experience. Can't wait to go again!!!
