Campagnia Bistro
Reviews
I have been there twice now and both times I was delighted. The appetizers were wonderful. The philly cheesesteak style sandwich was tender with excellent flavor. The salads and margarita pizza are my favorite. The ambiance is very relaxed and inviting. The staff was very friendly. I was surprised to see negative feedback for this restaurant because I enjoyed it very much on both occasions. Its the kind of place I think for an enjoyable meal, girlfriends and conversation.
I gave it a 3 stars. I ordered several appetizers which were good, not great! I was seated at the bar which was very small. It was very crowded, my fault I decided to stop during happy hour. My bartender and waitress were very nice and pleasant to converse with. I found the cliental different than I had expected. I expected a crowd similar to Ruth Chris, which also has a nice happy hour. I was not impressed by the crowd. The men out numbered the women by 3 to 1, good odds for single gals.
Nice ambiance. Liked the different seating areas and the fact that they had a cigar area. Our servers were good too. Very friendly people. The drinks were top notch. Now for the important part (it is a restaurant), the food! The fettuccine was a 3/10...and oddly, the chicken tasted like ham. The Filet Mignon was not cooked very well. The bacon was charred and so was the outer edges of the Filet. A Filet Mignon should not be difficult to slice...and it was. The saltiness of the meat made it very difficult to eat as well. The baked potato was a success, and the only thing I was able to enjoy. The vegetables were just okay. Although, a bit flavorless, however that could have just been the overkill of salt in the Filet taking away its flavor. We could have always hit a drive thru, made our own drinks and taken a walk at Woodward park and it would have been a better dining experience...and we could have avoided the type of crowd. No room for diversity ey? I guess you don't pay for the food in these types of restaurants. Oh yes, and they may want to ditch the curbside service. I mean, Applebee's does that. Upscale restaurants don't. If it wants to be considered upscale then they should ditch it.
The food was delicious! I ordered a chicken covered in a mushroom sauce! Very tasty!
Love it! Service, food, ambiance etc.......all is great!
