My Honest Review of The Bistro in Erie, PA

Finding The Bistro was a bit of a challenge, as the sign wasn't very noticeable. Once inside, I was greeted by a beautiful, albeit slightly crowded, atmosphere. The food was enjoyable and the location seemed to justify the price.

I was looking forward to the breakfast buffet, but it wasn't available during my visit. Instead, I opted for the lemon ricotta pancakes and eggs with toast, chicken sausage, and fruit from the regular menu. All were very tasty, although the coffee could have been hotter. The view of a snow storm across the bay from my window seat was a stunning sight.

The dinner menu at the bar was well thought-out. I had a half chicken with herbed spaetzel, buttered green beans, and a lemon chicken jus. The dish was well prepared, presented, and flavored. The chicken was juicy inside and flavorful outside, and surprisingly boneless. The bar had a good small selection of whiskeys and the staff were nice and attentive. The view is unbeatable, making it a reasonable place for a quick bite or a drink if you're staying at the Marriott.
