Went to Bistro Gentil last night with friends to celebrate my husbands birthday and had a wonderful night. The staff were absolutely lovely and nothing was too much trouble, they were very accommodating with the surprise cake I had made and did not charge cakeage as we all had desert as well as cake. The food was simply delicious, I absolutely loved the salmon entree and the steak I had for main was perfectly cooked and just like a little meat muffin....so tender. We have friends visiting from out of town in August so I’m just about to make another booking, I know they’ll love it.
