| - Back in the day, like 2012 or early 2013, I used to come here a lot. I would come here just to chill, have a drink, and people watch. It wasn't until recently, that I finally had a meal here. We dined here because we wanted to try something different. Plus, it's so close to our home. Service from start to finish was exceptional. The chef even came out to check on us. I was craving steak, but our waiter recommended the seafood special for the evening, which was two filets of Swai cooked in butter. Swai is very difficult to prepare correctly. The fish breaks down so easily and it's very tough to cook without drying it out. Our waiter convinced me to try it. He stated that I won't regret it. So, I went for it. I also got a side of their meatballs just in case the fish wasn't big enough. I got my meal and was actually shocked that I got over 10 oz. of fish for less than $20 in a restaurant. I have to admit that it was one of the best prepared Swai's that I have ever had. It was flaky and very buttery. Taste reminded me of Black Link Cod or Butter Fish. I guess I didn't need the extra side of meatballs anyway. I still ate them. I instantly became a fan of Bistro 57 after having just one dish, the Swai. My girlfriend had their lasagna. I'm sure it was good because she ate most of it. Will I be back? Bistro 57 is close to our home, the food is good, and the service is excellent. I'm sure that I will be back.
