Bistro on Bridge

Best risotto balls ever!
Ate here several times last year and the service was much better at the bar. Took my two teenagers to eat in the dining room area once. When we came in the the "hostess?" did not acknowledge us for several minutes and when she did , she halfheartedly asked "do ya want a table?". What did she think we were standing there for? I realize this place is fairly casual but her disinterested demeanor and slovenly outfit-flip flops and ill fit ting bottom of the dirty laundry pile sleeveless (dress?)- did not represent well for this establishment. The "hostess" literally slapped the menus down on the table and mumbled so incoherently (then just turned on her heel and walked away) that we all asked each other: "what did she just say?" However, we had a nice table looking out at the street traffic and the server was much better than the "hostess". Food was excellent, as it was when my husband and I had eaten at the bar- you have to try the risotto balls. My advice to the bistro is replace your hostess-she is not at all a good 'front face' person-maybe she should try dishwashing. Otherwise, good eatery. I'll be back to give it another try.
Great weekly promotions, and their ghost wing challenge is actually challenging and fun! The place is new and clean - it's great for Phillies games. Servers / bartenders are one of the main reasons I choose this place out of any others on bridge street (besides the fact that they are the first place to start the $5 Martini's during Happy Hour). Also saw a cool band perform there at one of their monthly Pub Crawls. Then there is a club upstairs too (Club 212); it was an eventful night with plenty of fun! If you have never visited the Bistro, you HAVE to! and if you have visited, you know you will be back for such a great food menu and beer specials!! I actually work down the street at another bar, but I love this place for many reasons - the Bistro will always have me coming back!
No better place for outdoor eating and drinking (and it's pretty great inside, too)! An incredible beer list, excellent food, and never an empty glass. Really a top-notch experience.
food was good. not too much on the menu for us becasue we are picky eaters.atmosphere was great!
