Wonderful lunch on a cold day visiting from out of town! The smoked salmon croissant was delicious, my wife staying it was better than any salmon she’s had in a while! She also loved the side salad. Cocktails were well-crafted as well. Butter salad with steak was wonderful too!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I recently celebrated my 60th birthday at the bistro, and I truly cannot say enough about the outstanding food, service, and atmosphere! We hosted around 40 guests, and everyone raved about the attentive and professional waitstaff. The Steak Frites were a huge hit, and the Salmon entrée was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The mini pastries from the bakery were absolutely delicious—such a perfect touch! The bar offered fantastic signature cocktails along with an impressive selection of beer and wine. The ambiance throughout the evening was warm, inviting, and simply unbeatable. To top it all off, the Airbnb upstairs was stunning and made the perfect venue for continuing the celebration with friends and family. Having the bakery just a few steps away was such a bonus—being able to grab a hot cup of coffee at 7:00 AM the next morning was the icing on the cake. This place is a gem. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

We had the best experience at Roux & Lucia Bistro! Everything from start to finish was absolutely perfect. We started with an espresso martini (which was spot-on) and then shared a charcuterie plate, avocado toast, and a Croque Monsieur. The charcuterie was top-notch, with really wonderful quality and fun choices. The avocado toast was hands-down the freshest I’ve ever had...topped with a roasted Romano tomato and even little capers tucked in. Pure perfection. The Croque Monsieur was just as amazing, warm and comforting. The outdoor patio is such a lovely spot to relax, and honestly, the whole place is spotless. Every detail...from the monogrammed plates to the black napkins and pretty silverware, makes you feel a little bit special just sitting there. We left already talking about when we’d come back. Without a doubt, we will be back soon!
