The City Newspaper Review

Reviewed by: Michael Warren Thomas

For decades the restaurant was known as the The Rio Bamba, one of the area's best fine dining restaurants. Several years ago it was completely gutted and vaulted ceilings were installed, along with a new kitchen. In 2005, the white tablecloths were removed and the name changed to Bamba Bistro, but it still leans toward fine dining. The food is meticulously prepared by Executive Chef Brian Antinore, reflecting the changing seasons.

The food and drinks are out of this world, The Chef prepared some Goat cheese stuffed squash blossoms that were to die for, the atmosphere was very romantic and the wine selection was superb. Its my new favorite restaurant.

Up until this year, this was one of my favorite places to dine. The last 2 times I had dinner here, things were getting progressively worse. So bad that dining companions asked not to eat here again. Salad, entrees, everything was disappointing. What a shame--used to be a great place.

We had an outstanding dinner!! The Calamari and Rack of lamb were superb and cooked to perfection. Chocolate Cake is a chocolate lovers dream. Service was excellent and courses well timed. We will be back soon.
