👍👍 This is a review that is long due. We came here when the restaurant first opening and came here again about 2 years later. It is so nice to see the quality of the food has not changed. It is very delicious and high quality food. The servers are so friendly and attentive. The owner is super friendly... People often mention good, restaurant, great, ordered, delicious, crab, menu,

    This is a review that is long due. We came here when the restaurant first opening and came here again about 2 years later. It is so nice to see the quality of the food has not changed. It is very delicious and high quality food. The servers are so friendly and attentive. The owner is super friendly as well and everyone was very personable! Ally was our server the first time we came she and Brittany was our server later and they are both awesome! (Sorry if I misspelled your names). The ambience is great but can get a bit loud and hard to hear your table. Overall we love this place! This is the only location that we know that make Beef Wellington, and they make is so deliciously!

    This was an unexpected find! If the Bistro were a person, it would carry itself with poise, and easy elegance. The interior was beautiful! The food did not disappoint either - everything was cooked to perfection and artistically presented. We had Caesar Salad, French Onion Soup topped with Gruyère, Beef Wellington, and Seafood Crepe. You absolutely must ask for wine recommendations. The selections were very interesting and paired perfectly!

    Cute little restaurant that was a distinctly French restaurant that appears to be transitioning to more European bistro. There was just one waitress/bartender with front of house manager on a Friday evening. Service was good and prompt but it wasn't overly busy. We started with a crab cake that was as stated with no fillers but all crab. Accompanied with an aoili that had a little spice to it. The pork schnitzel was perfectly fried but a little thick and a bit pink by the bone. It had wonderful flavor with a squirt of lemon. The sweet potato puree was a great pairing as it had warm spices added to it. Loved the sauteed spinach with pickled red onions. The hanger steak was cooked perfectly to order and tender with great seasoning. Paired with Pomme puree and a large amount of delicious vegetables. Looking forward to returning for a reasonable meal with inexpensive drinks and great food. Can't wait to see what Amy and Shawn do with this restaurant.

    Unexpected delightful find! We usually eat at the other French restaurant across the parking lot but decided to try this place for lunch and will most definitely be back! The French 75 were perfect start! I had the beet salad with so many little tastes of carrots, red and orange beets & other veggies. The Seafoood crepe was truly savory and not heavy but creamy at the same time! The scallops were tender and plentiful! The shrimp were perfect size and tasty. The microgreens & spinach added a nice touch. The "gravy" and crepe were perfect consistency and combination. The service was spot on. Prices were super reasonable especially for the quality and portion size. Loved the brick walls and ambiance. Go enjoy any meal there! Nice bar too!

    Great food and service!! We had the lamb chops and seafood medley pasta, both were amazing. Chicken tortilla Soup and ceasar salad were flavorful and delicious. Raspberry peach Cheesecake was delicious too. Highly recommend!!!! Can't wait to try other dishes, like the duck and hanger steak especially. Loved leaving full but not bloated, food not heavy on the stomach.

    Four of us had dinner last night for the first time. I had seen postings of this place on Facebook (ILM Foodie Alert) and after reading positive comments and looking at some photos (food looked wonderful), I wanted to try this place. Their menu had a lot of good items, which made it difficult for all of us to choose. I ordered the crab cake appetizer, which had a nice spicy cream sauce on top, along with a small mixed green salad. There wasn’t a lot of filler and while there was just white crab meat, it was very tasty and filling. My husband ordered a cup of the chicken tortilla soup, which he said was very good. One friend ordered the crab and roasted red pepper bisque, also very good, and the other had the fried goat cheese salad. All of these appetizers were good sized portions. In fact, the next time I go there, I’ll start with a salad instead of a heavier appetizer. For our entrees, two of us had the Argentine hanger steak – a 6 oz portion, topped with a chimichurri butter, mashed potatoes and vegetables. I ordered mine rare and it was rare, just the way I like it. My husband had the pork schnitzel that came with a sweet potato puree, sautéed spinach and pickled onions. The fourth person ordered the seafood crepe appetizer as her entrée. I had a small bite and I really liked the flavors of the lobster cream sauce. Everything was excellent and we all enjoyed our meals. What we also really liked was the reasonably priced menu. Entrées ranged from $15 to $25. The wines and cocktails were also well priced. We also had Key lime pie for dessert. Very tarty and not overly sweet. The service was excellent, from the manager Regina (or is she the owner?), and our waiter Leo. We found the restaurant to be a cozy place with its brick interior and seating for about 50 people; plus a bar that seats eight. The music was a little loud, but after asking, it was turned down, making it a pleasant dining experience. We look forward to our next visit and trying something different on the menu.

    We had the Prix fix menu with wine pairings which were spot on. The crab cake was an absolute must-try. It had just enough filler to hold it together and had great flavor! Each dish was well balanced, fresh, and nicely presented. With a little more ambience and more definitive entry area, we've got a winner!

    Excellent food from a thoughtfully curated menu. The portions sizes were "right-sized" without being too small or overly large, fitting the prices nicely. Our waiter, Preston, was fantastic. He was very attentive and checked in on the table often, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall it was an outstanding experience, we will definitely be back with more friends and family.

    Brief review: Great food, great service, above and beyond my expectations. Detailed review: I was in town for a wedding and was looking for dinner. My first two options had no tables. So we "settled" for Sweet n Savory. We were hesitant to come here because the prices are quite low for the menu items. I was worried about either small portions or poor quality ingredients. I couldn't have been more wrong. The food was delicious. The portions were generous. The Service was fantastic. I got the pork chop which was the best pork chop I've ever had. Highly recommend this restaurant. On a side note, the bar tender Mike was amazing, so sit at the bar!

    Talk about well prepared food. Sweet n Savory's Epicurean Bistro didn't lie when they said they will prepare good food for you with care. We took our remaining guests there on Saturday night for a great meal to remember and it was the right call. For appetizers, we had Egg Rolls, Beet Salad (sorry, the photos disappeared), Elk Carpaccio, Seafood Crepe and Loaded Crepes. While everything tasted good, the Elk Carpaccio and Seafood Crepe stood out. We have to say, THEIR CHEF IS LEGIT! For main dish: 12oz Root Beer Ribeye- None of us have thought that a ribeye soaked in root beer would taste good. My son and one of our guests ordered it and both were surprisingly pleased. They said the meat was tender -- melted in their mouth -- and the horseradish pommes puree made it even better. Seafood Medley Pasta - Both my husband and daughter ordered it. It was too creamy for my husband but my daughter liked it. The pasta was al dente. They both expected and wished for bigger scallops instead of bay ones. 1/2 Rack Lamb - One of my sons thought it was the most tender lamb meat he has had. He was raving about the crispy potatoes that came with it. He meant to share with my other son but that didn't happen 😅 Pork Schnitzel - My youngest son is a German food fan because of his foodie friends, hence his desire to try this. His verdict: it leaves much to be desired. But he really loved the sweet potato puree that came with it. Local Swordfish - This got a very good review from my son. He said there is a bite to the fish in a good way. The sides are delicious. He was already thinking about returning and trying more of the Chef's creations. Gina, our server, greeted us at door with her beautiful smile. She was super attentive the whole time we were there. My kids and guests were so impressed by how nice, gracious and hospitable she was that they even talked about her on our way home. That says something. She should be the standard! The entire staff and experience were the highlight of our night. We definitely recommend 🙌
