Blackstone Bistro - Saint Louis Park

I dined at Blackstone Bistro one time for dinner and was impressed with the quality, so I thought I would try lunch. Had a business lunch, the ambiance is comfortable, elegant, upscale and all around perfect. The food was Five stars and the presentation is Amazing We were seated promptly and the server was profesional and very knowledgeable, she gave us a quick description of the menu and the specials . The menu was rich with Great Appetizers, Salads, pizzas, Italian pastas, great selection Seafood and Steaks. I started with Mushroom soups, which was full of flavors. I had the Barley quinoa Salad with chicken and my guest had the Bento box as our main. It is definitely the best salad I have ever had, and my guest loved his food. The Chef and owner as in my last visit came and said hello and checked on our food, we have never seen this before that the chef comes out of the kitchen, it felt amazing and welcoming. The portions were very generous and prices are just right for lunch. Very highly recommended. They have brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. LOVE THE FOOD AND WE WILL BE BACK GREAT JOB

Outstanding food service. 5 stars all the way. Now on my favorite list.

Waits for an hour for our food for a table of 3. When eating finally arrived, one of the commands was wrong. they don't seem to have the service working.

The atmosphere was charming, and the staff was polite at first. However, when we asked for something other than water or inquired about an update on our order, their demeanor changed noticeably. They kept saying they were busy, yet there were only about ten other parties in the restaurant. We wanted to enjoy a lovely Mother’s Day outing, but this experience really put a damper on it.

This was my third visit, and once again, the food was fantastic. The service was a bit slow, possibly because the restaurant was busy. Regardless, I've added it to my list of favorites!
