Bistro 29 Reviews

“Good and soul-satisfying. This is food rooted in a sure knowledge of what pleases the human palate. It’s earthy, hearty, and bursting with flavor. Some chefs try to wow you with their innovative, fancy, airy creations. Chef Brian Anderson, on the other hand, takes familiar dishes and just nails them. One of our party looked around at the end of our meal and announced, “This is my new favorite restaurant.””

“And flash by they will, as Bistro 29 is a keeper, a chic place that the after-work crowd can fall into and have an honestly prepared plate of excellence for a reasonable price, no pretensions or unnecessary frills welcome.”

“Though its been open just a week, Bistro 29 seems to already have the blessing of local foodies who've been steadily streaming into the former Lolo's space for first dibs at ratatouille crepes, roasted chicken and oddly enough, even the grilled Monterey Bay sardines (which BiteClub imagined might be a hard sell in The SR.) And word on the street, or at least on the blog, is that Chef Brian Anderson has got the goods to make a go of the Fifth Street spot that's been cursed since the closure of Lolo's.”
