Dinner Monday evening was FANTASTIC. The Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken is one of the best I’ve ever had, and certainly the best in Green Bay. The Chicken was spiced well, distinctive and not overpowering. Our server was attentive and offer good recommendations based on our interests. Sat with a nice view overlooking the Meyer Theatre, and will be a nice place for a dinner and show. Last week we stopped for appetizers. Excellent flatbread and seared tuna. Artisan cocktails were (too) delicious.

My friend from California was coming for a visit, and we wanted to try a new restaurant; and Bistro Buchanan was our choice, and it was an excellent choice: the meal and the drinks were excellent as well as the service and the gorgeous restaurant. We both had Chicken Frangelico and brandy old fashioned. We were late for the reservation time, and they handled it well.

It was a last minute Birthday dinner. The staff and Chef were able to accommodate the whole family. The quality of the food was phenomenal, the wait staff was amazing. As we were dining the Chef came out to greet us and ensure the quality of the food and that our experience was amazing. We will return

My husband and I came here for a date night, and we were honestly blown away. The place is absolutely beautiful, and everything, from the food to the service and the overall vibe, felt so special. Our server, Ash, was a gem. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for. The bartender welcomed us with the kindest smile as soon as we walked in, which set such a lovely tone for the evening. And the chefs? You can tell they truly love what they do! The dishes were not just delicious but felt like pieces of art. We left with full hearts and happy stomachs, and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

Went here for the first time for my boyfriend’s birthday. We were seated at the bar while we waited for our table to be set up. We got drinks at the bar. The bartender was very friendly, but the drinks were a little weak and we waited a long time for them. Once we were seated our waitress the entire evening was attentive and very friendly. He had the ribeye and I had the seafood ravioli. His dish tasted great and mine was good. There really wasn’t a sauce to it, and it needed salt. The chef came out and checked on the tables himself. I really liked that, it stands out from other higher end restaurants in the area. Overall I think this place will succeed! I would like to go back again.
