"I had heard a lot about this place and was really looking forward to the experience. I 'll start by saying that it didn 't live up expectations in some ways but was still a good experience. First of all, I 'll start with decor and atmosphere. For a higher end place I definitely expected a little wow walking in but it all fell a little flat. The bathrooms had plastic paper towel dispensers that didn 't even match the tile or anything. Rolls of toilet paper just stacked on the back of the toilet, and the doors were just frosted glass so I could see the figure of someone sitting and moving around as I waited. Kind of awkward when I met them as they walked out. My turn! Our seats felt more like just shoved in a corner surrounded by walls on 2 sides so half the party just had a brick wall for their view. It wasn 't cozy, it was just kind of poorly laid out. Secondly, our waitress was unfamiliar with most of the menu and had to look at it several times and ask the chef a few times. It took 25 minutes for her to get our drinks, and 45 minutes until she took our order. She fumbled and struggled just to open a bottle of wine as we just awkwardly sat there and watched and waited. Then she we come back ever so often and not even speak, just grab a plate or glass and walk off. It was nothing terrible just not what I expected from a higher end place. I expected a competent and friendly server and all facets of place to be similar theme and feel. But... All that aside, the food was delicious and the drinks were well crafted and good selection of wine. We had the meat and cheese board, mesh salads, a NY strip, a filet, 2 Ribeyes, and the pork chop. Everyone loved each item and we finished with creme brulee, bread pudding, and ice cream. We walked out satisfied and full. I probably won 't be back however at least not with any regularity."

"Reflect bistro is a wonderful combination of fine dining meets casual eatery. The service staff is very attentive, with a reservation for dinner they seated us right away. The decor is a bit dated, you feel like you are in a hotel restaurant rather than a stand alone establishment but that has its charm. We started with delicious cocktails. An amazingly made hurricane for me an a delicious old fashioned for my fiancé. For an appetizer, we chose the cherry bbq boneless wings. The sweet and savory sauce is made right there in house. The chicken was perfectly cooked and breaded in house! From there we moved to their creamy buttery perfection of a lobster bisque, with a small lobster tail with just the right texture right in the bowl. Totally recommend! For the salad course we chose the cherry tomato caesar. The dressing was delightful. It was rich with a hint of what tasted almost like a spicy-mustard. For our main course, I had the huge espresso crusted ribeye, with asparagus and a potato hash! Definitely recommend the expertly prepared steak! My fiancé had PAPPARDELLE FRUITDE MER a perfect entree of roasted red pepper pasta with scallops, shrimp and lobster tossed in a white clam sauce. The portions were huge, and we definitely have lunch tomorrow! For my wine I deviated a bit from my usual dry tastes to Chateau Grand Traverse late harvest Riesling. It was wonderful paired with my ribeye. He had the Gemma De Luna Moscato, which he really enjoyed with his pasta! We will definitely come back when we are in town!"
