I had high expectations for Latitude 44 Bistro, especially after hearing so many positive reviews, but my experience left much to be desired. Starting with the service, it was noticeably slow. It took over 30 minutes for my soup and salad to arrive, while other tables seemed to be served in a timely manner. Perhaps there was an issue with only one waiter handling multiple tables, or maybe our food was being prepared by someone else due to staff shortages. I ordered the French onion soup, which was disappointingly small. On a brighter note, the Chicken Caesar with blackened chicken was quite good; it hit the right notes and was satisfying. However, my ribeye steak was a letdown. The texture and taste were unusual, leading me to believe it might have been previously frozen, thawed, and then refrozen. I had ordered it medium, but it arrived well done, which didn’t help its case. The accompanying carrots were also a miss; they were undercooked and tough, making them difficult to enjoy. Lastly, I opted for the mushroom pasta, but it was overpowered by an excessively strong blue cheese, which took away from the overall dish. The shrimp were boiled and added on top which was also strange that it wasn’t cooked with the dish. Overall, my experience was disappointing compared to the glowing reviews I had read. While there were some redeeming dishes, the service and quality of the food left me wanting more.

Came to 44 Bistro because they had an excellent selection and outside seating. It did not disappoint. The food was excellent but the two drinks I have were even better. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. I look forward to coming back for more. On my second visit I tried the crab cakes and a pasta dish (shrimp tortellini). It was delicious and very filling. Despite being much busier this time around the service was still excellent.

Incredible food and incredible service! Marquis was a pleasure to have as a server. He was punctual and made sure we were satisfied throughout the night. Me and my significant other were told it would be an hour wait, which was typical with it being Valentine’s day, but 20 minutes later, we were called and told our table was ready! From the service, to the food, and the atmosphere, it was all-around a 5/5 experience. And to the man who paid for our table out of the kindness of his heart.. Thank you and god bless!! You truly made our night. Will definitely be returning.
