Best WLM Reviews

We had the best experience for our Valentine’s Day dinner. The food, service & drinks were superb. We especially liked that we didn’t feel rushed to get out of there & the server was incredibly attentive. First time here & will definitely be coming back :)
We love B2 Bistro! We had another great experience tonight, even on a busy valentines weekend. We sat in Amber M's section, and she was great! Super attentive and very friendly. My husband enjoys the selection of IPAs on tap. I had their valentines special Eskimo kiss (tequila and sparkling wine), which ended up being a great combination. We always order the calamari for an app, and it never disappoints. For dinner, my husband had the Mediterranean Chicken sandwich. He said it was very flavorful, light, yet filling. I had the Chicken and Shrimp Cajun Alfredo, which was absolutely devine! For dessert, we ordered the Creme Brule Cheesecake, and I can confidently say they have one of the best cheesecakes in the area! The combination of the caramel sauce and whip cream was perfect.
The food and atmosphere was absolutely amazing and that was topped by our fabulous server August who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taking care of with a smile and great service
Had a fantastic experience here the service was top notch! The waitress was very busy, because the place was packed, be she made room for us, and it never felt like we lacked for service.
When everything else is closed…. This is your go-to. Crispy calamari app was very tasty, however it was more breading than actual calamari. It’s under shareable plates but after all the breading falls off; it’s more of a single portion. Generous serving for the wine; however over priced for a Cabernet. The Bee’s Meed was well balanced and refreshing—menu must keep!!!
Our meat and cheese board was a very generous serving but the bread was very chewy. Loved the Spanish almonds!
Overall service was good. Again, not my first choice but will definitely visit again.
I visited on Sunday, January 28th, 2024. This was my first time going to B2 Bistro. I heard good reviews so I was expecting it to be nice, but I was entirely disappointed with my entire dinner & experience.
To start off, we were standing at the host's stand for 15 mins. We ask the people in the kitchen if we could get seated. They replied, “There's no host at the moment. Just wait til one is available.” We stood there for another 10 minutes before getting seated.
After getting seated, I ordered the Orange Julius drink and was told they put away the ingredients for the night. So, I opted for the B2 soda instead. The B2 soda was supposed to be mango flavored. However, it was nothing like soda. It tasted like flat seltzer water, no mango flavor at all.
Next, we ordered the bread board, just for them to bring it out w plain bread on a tray with NO olive oil dip and/or olives. Then they asked if we still wanted it. Why would I want plain bread with no dip???
That wasnt all. Next, I ordered the crispy brussel sprouts. When I got the dish, I was shocked. My entire plate was burnt and Im surprised they still served it to me. (Please view image).
The other entrees we ordered were the Chicken Parm Baked Ziti, Lasagna, Crab Cake, & Pulled Pork Tostones and they were alright, nothing crazy. Wings were also a little bit dry.
Im very disappointed that this dinner was $150 and the whole experience was all over the place!
Overall, 2/20, I highly do not recommend.
First, this place is enormous! I bet you could get 400 people in here. The bar also is just huge. I was there at 4 pm on a Thursday, and the 3 of us sat outside. The atmosphere is young, fun, minimalist, and natural. We got a bunch of appetizers to share, and later, I had their apple, carmel, ice cream dessert, and everything was good. It's a bit pricey for my budget, though. I couldn't afford to make this a frequent stop, It'd be special occasions only. The menu is a good size and has something for everyone. But some dishes are in the $35-$45 range. Service was very good.
We had a really excellent time here. Our server was super nice (only wish she would have been a little more attentive as we could have used additional beverages before the meal was over — that was really the only drawback). Food was great and nicely presented. We order a pizza as an afterthought and I went over to watch it being made. Pete was super friendly and put up with all my questions and then came out to the table to make sure everything was okay. It was more than okay. It is a little pricey, but the food and atmosphere are great.
