Bizzotto's Gallery-Cafe — Restaurant in Onancock

Over priced and over rated. Slow Friday night. The service was fine, new server but I am sure not a "fine dining" restaurant server should be wearing shorts. Meals- veal parm OK. Veal was too thick had to ask for steak knife to cut it. Marinara sauce good. Overall, not a bad meal. Veal Marsala was also too thick, needed steak knife but overall good. French onion soup bland, tasteless. Was given a serving spoon to eat it with and then a teaspoon. No soup spoons?? Meatball app ok but $13 for 3 small meatballs a bit $$. Ribeye steak special terrible. Had to be sent back. Thin piece of meat, gray in color, no sear. Ordered medium rare, came well done. Unable to cut it and could not even chew it because of the fat. Embarrassing to serve. No apology or check by manager. Overall, nice atmosphere but not so sure...

The food had a nice flavor and presentation. The service was poor. The waitstaff had difficulty answering questions regarding the menu. We were a party of 6. The main dishes did not come out at the same time so that the majority of dinners were cold by the time everyone was served. Plates were not cleared in a timely fashion. There was an error with one of the deserts and instead of apologizing and getting the correct desert, the server looked as if she did not know what to do and attempted to walk away without correcting the error. Water was not refilled until after we had finished dinner and desert. It is a shame that a restaurant with a good food selection failed so miserably with...

Update: new ownership in the past few years has subtly refreshed this bistro. Expect solidly prepared continental fare with quality ingredients matched with a well curated wine list.

The room itself has an artsy vibe. It is in a charming 19th century building with high ceilings and is open and spacious; there is an attractive bar with bar service, and, thankfully, no tv's, but occasionally some very good live music!

Relax and enjoy! I like the clam appetizer and the veal as a main course! Also, the single fried oysters as an appetizer really impress!

Pretty much, all the food...
