Stopped through here on a road trip from Baltimore to Philly (roundabout way, yes!) and we were not disappointed! John, the bartender, was super welcoming and the beer, cider, wine and food were all excellent. We had sandwiches on fresh baked bread, the feta and artichoke dip to start, and a few different beers, cider, and a great sav blanc wine, surprisingly. The atmosphere is great, the service was great, and the food and drinks are fantastic. Your decision is made - go here!

First, let me say, the food was absolutely amazing! They never disappoint in quality. Fresh homemade bread and fantastic combination of ingredients for their dishes. I will put their quality high above Panera, however the price point is right there if not a tad higher. So plan high quality dishes for a higher price.

Went Here on Valentines day with my Fiance. She had the meatloaf and i had the New York Strip. The meatloaf was sub par to say the least and my steak was barely warm. Not the Type to complain but I most likely wont be going back not worth the money ( a little over 20 bucks for the loaf and a little over 30 for my steak). Server was great but i didnt catch his name.

We went for the reservation only Saturday night Valentines Day specials. The decor in the Bistro was nice. Somewhat upscale for Hanover. More modern decor in a classic space. Spacious seating. She had some wine and I had a whiskey sour, which was excellent. We started with a mushroom leek tartlet which was good, and French onion soup which was great. Our side salads were served before the meal as well, and were very good as well.
One of the best Caesar salads I've had in a while. We both had the ribeye. Both were larger than expected and cooked perfectly (rare and medium rare), and came with a nicely made mushroom risotto and a fantastic cream sauce. They were seasoned nicely as well. Not bland and not a slap in the face with black pepper and salt like some restaurants. For dessert we got the chocolate creme brulee which was outstanding, and the Pot De Creme which was also delicious, but a little smaller than the other desserts, so I would possibly recommend other desserts if you want to share. Overall I will absolutely be returning for special occasions or nicer date nights. I'll also definitely have to try their lunch. One of my favorite restaurants in Hanover now.
