Bistro le Bliss — Restaurant in West Bloomfield Township

Tonight we had mushroom crostini, French onion soup, Beef Stroganoff and Duck.

The crostini were a beautiful presentation and delicious. The French onion soup was phenomenal. The broth was perfectly seasoned and just a delight to eat. The Stroganoff was wonderful. I don't care for noodles or sour cream.... that being said, the egg noodles were delicate and really quite handsome in the dish. The sauce lovely. The beef, Yakov uses Filet......so delicious! So perfect. Thank you, vey nice dish indeed!

I had Duck. When I tell you, if you EVER want to try duck, this is the time to try it. The skin is crispy, so delicious, the sweet potatoes are fluffy but substantial. The spinach was not overdone. That so many places over cook their food, is understated. Not here the spinach was not wilted and lifeless, it was perfection! The cherries, oh my goodness, Devine(!) and my beloved goat cheese..... perfection.

I haven't even mentioned dessert. I would never get strudel on any given day as it's usually too dry, but something called to us. Thank God lol. The dough was fantastic. Ever so flaky and once again, the apples are NOT overdone. Bravo! And never have i had a flourless chocolate cake be so light and addictive to eat! Bravo x2!!!

Yakov, it was a pleasure to dine with you. My only regret was that I couldn't stop and tell you how lovely our whole meal was from beginning to end. You were much too busy to stop from cooking.... but ..... Thank you a thousand...

What a gem we found! I agree with other reviews that this place does not offer fancy decor, but that’s a plus in my book. This is a place if you don’t want to dress up yet want to eat something good. We arrived around 545, but I could see it quickly getting busy.

The guest population seemed a bit mature (50ish and up), and I loved it as there was no loud music or rowdy party crowd; you could enjoy conversation and good food.

We started with fried smelts, escargots, and burrata/tomato salad. If you are to order escargots, order an extra bread basket with it to soak up its sauce! Burrata/tomato was good, but there was nothing special about it. My kids surprisingly loved deep-fried smelts.

For our entrées, we tried their lamb chops, duck breast, scallops, and salmon. Duck was our least favorite, but it was still good.

We tried their crème brûlée, basque cheesecake, and pecan chocolate cake for dessert. They were all very good.

I almost don’t wanna leave good reviews and keep it to ourselves. And to the reviewer who complained that they closed around 830 while the sign said they’d open till 9, maybe you should have considered possibilities like they sold out their items for a day or they were super slow for a night or maybe nobody really want to work that late serving entitled folks like yourself believing you should be welcomed for going into any restaurant 30 min...

If you're looking for a fine dining experience this is not it, if you're looking for a casual dining experience this might be it. Overall the food was generous in portion adequate and taste, lacking in variety.

I always judge a "French" restaurant on the duck, and have for about 2 decades now. I ordered medium rare, came out medium. Not sure how I feel about sweet potatoes as a match for duck, I mean, I've certainly seen it, but is it right...not sure it's what I would choose in Bordeaux. (To be fair, I'm French and never had a sweet potato until I moved here).

Service...well they weren't bad. We got what we wanted when we wanted it, but let's be 100 here. Fine dining servers are ghosts, and diner waitresses are super friendly, these are exactly in between, I guess how you would expect. For the cost of the meal IDK, I guess I would expect a more involved uniform that had all black or something, even minimal.

I'll leave it at that. I can't complain at all, but I'd love to rave, and this place has the workings of a place to rave about, just a little more...
