Bistango is a beautiful place all around! The food is some of the best I have ever had. My husband and I went there for a friends birthday and had a wonderful time we sat in the galleria and it was beautifully decorated. The staff was a bastion of service and cheer. The many questions I had were greeted with expertise and I was left at the end of meal wanting for not a single thing. A greater birthday one could not dream, a grander night one could not plan. Hats off bistango, hats off.

I recently went for the first time and ate at the bar and the food was amazing and surprisingly very modest in price. The wine list was very extensive and bartenders were very friendly and fun. I highly recomend it, whether you're alone, on a date, or with friends! I had a memorable experience!

My husband and I reserved this establishment for our rehersal dinner the night before our wedding. We felt we were forgotten at times (no one came to replenish drinks), and had to ask several waiters before getting things we needed. I also wrote a letter to the restaurant, detailing our experience but did not hear back from them. It felt to me that they really didnt care for our patronage. Needless to say, all 30 of our guest did not return to this restaurant, and each had told their family and friends.
The letter i sent:
We had reserved the Galleria for our private affair and although we enjoyed the food and decor we were dismayed by the impolite demeanor of the waiters and servers. We expect that a restaurant of your caliber would have unparalleled service to compliment the food and decor.
My husband and I had also planned to conduct a Chinese tea ceremony in the Galleria which did not need an elaborate set-up. The set-up was quite simple and only required the removal of a small table. When I asked to move a table, I was met with ardent reluctance and unwillingness. After several insistences, the waiters finally helped move the table and we expressed our gratitude for their help even though they completed our request with annoyance.
Throughout the evening, I felt intimidated to ask the waiters for more water or tea after my initial request to refill because at that time, the waiter raised his voice to me and asked in a condescending tone "How many water refill you want?" I was completely taken by suprise as were my fellow guests. I've been to many 4 and 5 star restaurants with a staff far more accommodating than your own, and I struggle to apprehend why there is such incongruence in the quality of the food and lack of good service at your restaurant?

I discovered Bistangos on a trip to California and for the past 5 Years, I fly in from Las Vegas once a week to have dinner. I live in the City of Fine Dining and Entertainment and have been to all the best of the best here in LV. Bistangos has a wonderful ambiance and the staff is terrific. Bill Blank is always accomodating when he knows I am flying in for dinner and each week seems better than the last. The food is absolutely excellent and the Wines and special events they offer should not be missed. If you want the best and have not experienced fine dining, then make sure Bistango's is your first choice !
Pros: Excellent Service !
Cons: There are no cons to this place.

i've been to this establishment twice..first time was a decent experience, second time sent me directly to the hospital. I got food posioning from their garlic soup and pizza..this was confirmed by a Doctor of Medicine at the UCI hostpital. Everyone at my table that day got the same thing so this leads me to believe my food was tampered with since myself and the server exchanged some words when it took her 25 minutes to take our order.
IF YOU WANT TO BE KNEES DOWN IN FRONT OF A TOILET FOR 5 HOURS YOU SHOULD EAT AT BISTANGOS RESTURANTE.
be careful.
Pros: good ambience, good general manager
Cons: awful service, sickening food.

I had the pleasure of dining at Bistango a few years back. The atmosphere is beautiful - there are art displays throughout. The waitstaff was very nice and prompt. And the food was to die for! I had the filet mignon - it was superb! For dessert, I tried the chocolate souffle - I don't think I'd tasted anything that decadent before. The meal was also presented beautifully rather than just plopped onto plates.
Pros: Amazing food, courteous staff, beautiful atmosphere, chocolate souffle
Cons: High prices (but in this instance you truly do get what you pay for)
