Bistro 101 — Restaurant in Canton

A Bittersweet Symphony at Bistro 101 Rating: ★ Upon my recent visit to Bistro 1011, the reputed gem of Canton, IL, I anticipated an evening filled with culinary delight while enjoying the celebration of my daughter’s engagement. The service was mediocre with plates and drinks brought at several times, the waitress asking for help grabbing one of the glasses of Sangria. On the positive side, the dishes presented were both inventive and satisfying, showcasing local flavors with a refreshing twist.

However, the evening took an unforeseen turn that left a sour note. Just as we were savoring the last morsels of our meal, preparing to leave, we were brusquely informed that the table was needed for another party within a mere six minutes. This abrupt rush significantly marred what had been a delightful experience. Considering the considerable amount we invested in our meal, this rushed ending felt not only inappropriate but also disrespectful.

While I understand the demands of a bustling restaurant, a balance must be struck between efficient service and providing a relaxed atmosphere where patrons feel valued and unhurried.

My wife and I decided to come in for our 13th anniversary dinner because it was close and we had heard good reviews from family and friends. We were not disappointed. My wife got the filet mignon and I ordered the coffee rubbed flat iron both medium rare. She got a garden salad and I got the onion soup. Personally I’m not big on onions or rabbit food, but I figured I’d give it a go. Surprisingly the onion soup had an amazing flavor that I loved, very rich and bold flavor with just a hint of sweet. My complements to the chef all around. Our steaks were prepared perfectly. I’m a bit of a meat purest, and the flavor was amazing. Our server was amazing she did a great job, my only regret was I didn’t have any more money on me to leave her a bigger tip. overall it was a very good experience, the mood was great, and staff very professional. Will definitely be coming back as often as possible, glad it’s right here just off the square in Canton. Keep up the great work and great success will...

We started off with Blue Hawaiian and an AppleTini then moved to Chevre Stuffed mushrooms for our appetizer, which was so good it was gone in seconds! Followed by our fresh garden salad and dill pickle soup. Yes thats right, dill pickle soup. Im so glad i tried the soup, I would have never thought of making a dill pickle soup! It was absolutely delicious! Our mouths were delighted and the anticipation of our main course grew. I had the cranberry Mushroom Trottole -trottole pasta tossed with sauteed mushrooms, thyme roasted chicken in a cranberry-sage cream sauce. The sweetness of the cranberries with the cream sauce and chicken was so good we literally could not stop eating this! Chris had the grilled fillet mignon with smashed potatoes and fresh veggies drizzled in garlic butter. The steak was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. We ended with the bread pudding for dessert, and it was oh so good. We made the right choice and We are so glad we chose the Bistro 101 for...
