AH-mazing. My husband and I went here for our first date night after our first child was born and let me tell you they did not disappoint. We felt like we were in a chic restaurant in Chicago or NYC. The food was fantastic, great flavor, wonderful fresh ingredients. You will not leave here saying "well I could have made that at home." The only.... critique (if youll even call it that) is the pictures on the menu make the dishes appear to be larger than they actually are. This is not place you would go to for large portioned plates of food. Everything is precise and the presentation is impeccable. Its enough to give your partner a bite and thoroughly enjoy the rest of the dish. We cant wait to come back here for another date night.

Frozen 2 could be filmed there, unpleasant to sit with your coat on during dinner. Hilarious that the hostess asked if we wanted to check our coats. Oysters, only two varieties and the waiter was far from knowledgeable about the individual quality of the selection. The bisque was barely room temp and the king crab legs were not broiled as requested. The cioppino was cooked well but over salted and seasoned, difficult to taste the individual elements. Not an intimate atmosphere and loud nor were they accommodating to our requests for some warmth. To pricey to risk a return especially since we live 100 miles north

The food was absolutely fantastic. Most of the dishes have a novel twist--the orange cheesecake was more of a custard consistency, for example--but its never distracting. Everything is well thought out, from light appetizers, to the delicious French-pressed after-meal coffee. The service was great, as well, and both members of our waitstaff were friendly, knowledgeable, and fun while never being intrusive. The portions are on the small side and the prices slightly high, but I completely feel that you get a great value for the money. I will definitely return.

Food was great, seating by the windows were nice (besides the funeral home view down a couple buildings :-( ), Kelley our waitress was awesome, friendly, and informative. French onion soup dumpling appetizer was delicious, drinks were perfect (i believe Steve made the drinks), filet was tasty, the potatoes side on the dish could have been warmer, was not a fan of the dessert mint chocolate but overall would recommend this place anyway! Found a new favorite place :-) Thanks to the friendly and professional staff

I was in Royal Oak to see Tom Segura on St Patricks day. My boss suggested I try out bistro 82, so I did. It was amazing. I sat at the bar because I was by myself. The bartender was awesome, very knowledgable, and gave excellent suggestions. I had the feature, a glass of wine, dessert, and a Manhattan. Delicious. All of it. I want to say his name was Dustin, but dont hold me to that. If I am ever in the area again, I will certainly be back!

Every time my fiancé and I dine at Bistro 82 were always smiling from start to finish. The service is impeccable and the food is irresistible! We especially love the calamari, scallops, cobia and the filet is the best filet weve ever had. Desserts are also extremely flavorful and artistically presented. Were looking forward to trying their other restaurant "The Morrie." Were sure its going to be fabulous as well!

Steak Frites are good. I have tasted some of the food that were shared and passed around and also the desserts. Most of the food are good looking but of average taste. Kinda expensive. Ambiance is good at night, and average noise levels. Not so fancy. Price is on the average to expensive. Good place for adult get together. Celebrating a birthday here is just so-so. Best probably for having a quiet dinner date.

Very expensive for small portions. The drinks are just ok nothing special mine was super bland so I switched it out for a glass of wine that I knew I would like. The service is pretty good but she kept interrupting our group mid conversation. As for the flavors they were nice my scallops could have used some more seasonings and veggies rather than 1 carrot cut into 4 sections. Nice atmosphere.

We went in to celebrate my husbands birthday. we loved their ambience and service(Justin was too nice). The food was top notch(expensive, but the presentation, taste and textures compensate). I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a place to celebrate with your beloved ones.

The food was delicious, they had us seated very close to our reservation time and at one point there was flooding from the kitchen I think and they cleaned it up very fast and offered to move anyone if they were too worried about the water. Very nice staff and good atmosphere.

When I heard my friend was taking over the space at Sangria I couldnt wait to get in there and eat! 3 weeks after opening the place runs like it has been there for years and the food looks and tastes outstanding. Great atmosphere and courteous staff - highly recommended.

Great place for a private event. Great place for a date. Food is awesome. My favorite dish is the cobia. The drinks are awesome and the service is always strong. Highly recommend. Finish with some incredible deserts of course.

Food here was superb. It was a bit pricey but it was the first place I got to try bone marrow and it was delicious. Id recommend this place for anyone wanting to go out for an upscale date or dining event.

Bistro 82s wait staff is amazing and attentive, the food is a delight for the eyes and your palette. Portions are not gratuitous, but they are filling and you leave feeling satisfied.

The food was incredible, and had absolutely no issues with service. If you want a great night out, its well worth the price. I highly suggest the ratatouille, the sauce was impeccable.

Fantastic service, great food, and a fun atmosphere. We had a large party (19 people!) and we didnt wait for a thing. Our servers were very attentive and informative. We will be back!
