Bistro Eighty Ates — Restaurant in Webster

Unfortunately, I can’t Even judge the food because we never got it. I understand that sometimes food can take awhile, especially during busy times, but we had reservations for 11am. They didn’t take down the number of people correctly, but I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal since they put 5 people and we had 6. Usually seating is even numbered, but they had to scramble to figure out where to put us. It seemed like they didn’t see my reservation because they looked at the paper with my name and time and were like oh, oops, it’s going to take a minute. We weren’t seated for at least another 20-25 minutes. Ok, no biggie. Took our drink orders, came back with the drinks and asked if we were ready to order and we were, this was maybe 10-15 minutes after we were seated so seemed to be going fine. Then we were sitting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. One person finished their drink and the waiter asked if he wanted another, he said no but I’ll take an ice water. Waiter came back asking if one of the kids wanted another chocolate milk, we said no but she’ll have an ice water. He came over with that and walked away. About 45 minutes after ordering, we had all finished our drinks and the waiter came over to say the food would only take a few more minutes, and we had to again ask for an ice water for the first person who asked and never got it. We waited another 15 minutes or so and flagged down the waiter, asking what was going on, he again said it would be a few minutes. We said if the food wasn’t going to come out, we’d like the check for the drinks so we could go somewhere we could eat. The waiter got flustered and talked to the hostess, then they went to the back. He came back saying it would be right out, we thought meaning the food because we said we wanted the check if the food wasn’t coming out and it seemed like he meant the food. 15 minutes after this, we’re still waiting, he finally comes over and says here’s the check for the drinks. We were understandably upset, and said so the food order never even made it to the back because now we’ve been here for an hour and 45 minutes and it took you 15 minutes to get us the check when we thought the food was coming out. Another person came over to see what the problem was and said how the food had been canceled because we asked for the check. I don’t believe the kitchen ever got the food order, as we had seen multiple other parties who came in after us receiving their food. Nothing was done to rectify any of this. We will not be going back. We ended up going to another mom and pop breakfast place, and within 45 minutes we were seated, ordered, food out, and...

This was a fun place to eat. I met a friend there at her suggestion. Not disappointed. The staff 100% on point. Not overly checking on me while I'm eating or reading the menu to order. I felt so relaxed and comfy in our little booth. The drinks.. many suggestions made by the server one picked. Winter blues was the name of it it had a light in it and was perfectly prepared. Only thing besides my water that I managed to finish completely. Appetizers were a nice variety I settled with the spinach artichoke dip. Was brought in a wood plate like thing. The dip was perfectly warm and I almost ate all of that too. Dinner entree was smokehouse ribs with french fries and coleslaw. Ended up taking most of that home with me. The ribs were smokey, rich in BBQ sauce, fell right off the bone melt in ur mouth. I truly enjoyed what I could eat and then 2 days later I finished them and Jesus couldn't have cooked them better himself. Lastly dessert.... I had the Oreo cookie pie. Delish...i ate as much as I could an brought the rest home.... Worth the 8.99. Now I ordered their clam chowda to go because I'm a huge chowder fan and when someone says they have a rich and creamy chowda I'm down to voice my opinion. I love the cove in mystic CT. They had the thickest and creamiest I've ever tasted .... TILL NOW... Warning.. warning ... Thick and delish u may get addicted... Mind u I took it to go and am now eating it 2 days later.. BOMB.. Anyway the chowda is to die for. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone... (Like my Subaru). It's a lil pricey but well worth every dime! Even Jesus would be impressed .. thanks for such a tasty meal and a welcoming warm environment to consume it in. I hope more ppl...

The atmosphere at Bistro 88 is always lovely and they do some wonderful specials and I've had some great things that I enjoyed in their menu. But the last two times that I've been in I've been having some bad service issues. This morning at brunch a friend and I ordered the breakfast poutine and lemon ricotta pancakes with berries. When the server brought the food out the pancakes were just plain pancakes, no ricotta no Berry garnish. For $12 for 3 pancakes they really have to be made as described on the menu. We had to request to our server to go back and add the berries that were supposed to be on top and again ask why there was no ricotta. We were told that the kitchen said that they ran out fresh berries, and that there was ricotta already in the batter. We had already tasted the pancakes, and it was absolutely not the case, they were regular pancakes-very nice but not as described on the menu. This made our waiter have to do more work fetching ricotta and a berry compote so that we could make our own pancakes much like the menu described. When the manager asked us how everything was we explained the situation and she did strike that item from the menu, and spoke to the cook, however having been a server and a cook in the past I think our server really should have caught the fact that it was absolutely not as described(the manager even said so when she looked at the...
