This little French bistro tucked away in the corner of a little shopping plaza was the best choice that we made on a random Thursday. Let's start with the server he was absolutely superb, extremely attentive, caring and thoughtful. Next let's move on to the food. We ordered three appetizers. Firstly the baked brie was incredibly amazing, cutting into it the brie oozed out and paired perfectly with the honey and the balsamic. It was a wonderful combination probably our favorite dish of the day. Next was the mussels. They were tender and sweet to the taste, extremely fresh!! Lastly for the appetizer was the escargot a classic French cuisine. The escargot was fresh and the parsley garlic oil was to die for. Dipping the bread in the parsley garlic butter had my taste buds dancing all over the place. For the 2 entrees we got the boeuf bourguignon and the le cassoulet. The boeuf bourguignon was amazing, tender, flavorful, where it all fit together like a glove. Lastly the le cassoulet was great. The duck was fall/pull apart tender and paired perfectly with the white beans. For the pricing for a French restaurant we thought it would be expensive, but the prices were actually fair. Will definitely come back to try more dishes!!

I went with my girlfriend, the Lobster Bisque was light and amazing with some bread. The Filet Mignon was smooth and soft along with gratin side.

This is our second time here. This first was for my birthday and the second for our anniversary. It just has that special place feel to it. The escargot is mind blowing as is the foi grois and pate. I ordered steak au poive both times bet it’s just that good. Above all, the service is amazing. We went on a Tuesday and there was one waitress for the entire place and she killed it. So glad I don’t have to go to manhattan for this kid our quality and experience.

Visited this restaurant yesterday 7/28/24 for the first time. The exterior of the restaurant may not be appealing when you get there, but as you walk in, you will experience the magic of the food the service and the music. Everything was perfect and Lorali is an exceptional and awesome waitress. I must return and recommend ❤️.

The food was amazing. I typically don't get wow'ed by food because I like and eat Flushing and there's a lot of good food everywhere, but I was already planning my second trip here as I was eating dessert here. The people here were also sooooo nice, I don't know why I'm so jaded by humanity, but the kindness blew me away in addition to the food. We had a baby with us and she was getting hungry too; when I tell you the owner (I think she was the owner) dodged and backflipped to get that hot water and cool water to us, I couldn't believe it myself. The sincerity I felt at this place felt almost familial.

It was an authentic french experience! I had the french onion soup, that was sooooo tasty… probably without doubt the best french onion soup I’ve had, and as entree I had the Chicken cordon Blue,and for sure was the best ever! So creamy…so tasty…green beans and purée with perfect season and butter. My husband had the Steak au proive which prepared exactly to his liking, and the chocolate mousse was superb cuz I tried! Make efforts to visit this place, and I give you my word that you will have a great experience as we had. The staff of the restaurant was so kind and attentive . For sure we are coming back! Enjoy the food!

A real bistro! Great French food without ceremony. Not the stereotype “big plate with little food”. The escargots were swimming in sinfully delicious sauce that invited serious mopping - scarpetta! The mushroom sauce around the risotto was reduced perfectly to create intense flavor that complemented the delicately seared scallops. As usual, Ron and Pauline’s recommendation did not disappoint. Merci beaucoup!

The food is delicious. I ordered the salmon (saumon à la ratatouille) which was really good, I paired it the white wine Sangria which was also good. Finishing off with my favorite dessert creme brulee, 😋. The aesthetic is unique and the atmosphere was welcoming. Overall, highly recommended💚.

Me and my girlfriend have been to Bistro Eloise before, and it’s always a treat. This most recent video was no exception. We sat down a little bit closer to closing time than we would have liked, but the server was so kind and welcoming anyway. We even tried to order dessert early, since we knew they were getting close to closing, and the server assured us there was no rush and that we should just relax while enjoying our dinner. It was a great experience, and the food was delicious as ever. Highly recommend.

We chose this place to celebrate our 3rd anniversary and, while the food was very good, the overall experience did not fully meet our expectations. I made a reservation in advance and specifically mentioned that it was a special anniversary night, hoping for a bit of attention to detail. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were seated at a regular table with no special setup or decoration. Service was slow at the beginning — it took around 10 minutes for someone to approach us, and an additional 10–15 minutes to receive the champagne we had ordered. The server also came across as a bit rude at first, which immediately lowered our expectations for the night. That said, the food was genuinely good. We ordered the filet mignon, octopus with chorizo, onion soup, and shrimp. Everything tasted great, with the filet mignon being the standout dish of the night. Overall, the food quality is there, but the service and attention to special occasions need improvement. With better hospitality, this place could easily offer a much better experience.

While the French food is really good, the service needs to improve. It takes 2 waiters to wait on 8 tables and they are slow. The food is amazing and you feel like you’re in France with the food and ambiance. They waiters take forever to give you bread and water at the beginning of your meal and the French bread wasn’t hot. The Brie and crepe was amazing and flavorful. I’d go back for the food but expect a wait.

The scallops appetizer was very good. The mussels were very good. But the steak was almost inedible. It was tough, dry, and tasteless. But because I didn’t have lunch, I was so famished I ate the whole steak. Very hard to chew and swallow. The sauce for it was good though. The mojito was good also.

For the first time ever I’m kind of confused how to really grade this place. Some of the dishes are perfection, while others are so far from French cuisine. The tartare for instance, I asked what ingredients were in it and I was told ketchup along with other things that I can’t remember because as soon as I heard ketchup, I was turned off and avoided it all together. The French onion soup also left so much to be desired and lacked flavor. The beef bourguignon was delicious along with steak. Both dishes cooked well and seasoned perfectly. Then you move on to desert and $13 for a crepe without a filling and just some fruit on top is just way over priced for what it is. Other places at least fill it with canned whipped cream to be cheap and still give you a “filling”. I don’t know? Just a very strange place. It’s like they kind of understand French food but also don’t at the same time? It was very hit or miss like there are two different chefs in the kitchen and one is French and the other is like from another planet and is trying to understand what French food is. I have no problem paying for quality but I just don’t think this has the quality for the price. This place isn’t bad but I also wouldn’t say it was great and you have to give it a try. It’s a good attempt at French food given the areas I wouldn’t say Queens is really known for French food but for more authentic places or even places that are at least somewhat decent when it comes to French-American Bistro, I wouldn’t go here. However, given that some of the food was great, I think 3 out of 5 stars is fair. The main reason why I deducted a star is because the service was so slow and it was not busy. I guess they added the Parisian touch of making you wait forever to get the servers attention.

My husband, my son, and I dined at Bistro Eloise on Valentine’s Day, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The restaurant was busy, which we expected on a holiday, but the level of disorganization was unacceptable. My son ordered the filet mignon, only to be told they had ran out of it. We then waited nearly an hour for our appetizers and almost another hour for our main courses. The staff repeatedly blamed the delays on it being a holiday and being understaffed, but that doesn’t excuse the lack of preparation or communication. What made the evening especially upsetting was overhearing a staff member (a petite French woman) make a demeaning comment about the kind young man clearing tables because his English isn’t strong and he is Hispanic. That was deeply inappropriate and unprofessional. While the food itself was good, the service was chaotic, inefficient, and inattentive. Staff appeared disorganized and seemed to be walking in circles rather than effectively managing tables. Given the high prices, we expected a much higher level of professionalism. Sadly, we will not be returning.
