Situated about 2 blocks from my office and directly next to a Starbucks means I'm here for lunch or a bite after work several times a month. Bistro 24 is yet to disappoint.
The service is always stellar, but it's the Ritz, so it ought to be. The food is all quite good. It's not the most romantic or fanciest dining room... There are more fun & eclectic places to take a date but is a great place to take a client or colleague for a bite. i think of the Bistro as more of a lunch place than a dinner spot, but it certainly goes either way.
If you are looking to try the Bistro but are on a bit of a budget, i would try one of these two little tips:
1. Check out Friday Night Grill... its about 35 per person and all you can eat. They have steak freshly cooked on the grill outside and a variety of sushi and salads inside. The desert table is decadent. For less than you'd spend on a steak next door at Morton's, you'll get a ton of high quality delicious food.
2. Happy Hour is at 5pm. Their appetizers and many drinks (including draft beer) are half off. Get a Firestone Pale Ale or Double Brown Ale for just $3. One of my favorite appetizers is the Ratatouille Pizza. (Only $7 during happy hour!). It's delicious and eats like a meal.
