Testimonials

Great seafood options! It was hard to make a decision because all main dishes seemed amazing. The chocolate cake was terrific! The Moscow mule was also great
Carolina Mikalauskas Sanches
Went here tonight for an early (7pm) birthday dinner. Ambience is very quiet and romantic. You can tell they put in effort to make you feel cozy. Food was cooked perfectly, menu was classic French. Servers were friendly and inviting. Our hostess asked for her name to have the chef spell it on her dessert. Small touches like that just make the night that much more enjoyable. Would recommend and would go back for either a special event or even during a lunch or happy hour.
Sean Tully
Amazing ambiance and good food. I like how they separate the sections with red drapes to create a romantic and private feel. The wines are reasonably priced with half-glass options. This was my first time at Bistro Cacao. It will not not be my last. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and quickly shown to our table. We had reserved in advance.
