My husband and I went there for dinner and the hostess initially gave us a cool reception when we advised we didn't have a reservation. There was only two tables in the restaurant seated. When she did seat us it was practically out of the restaurant and to the opening of the shopping center which didn't really afford a nice view. The menu is creative and reasonably priced. The wine list is also very nice and offers lots of variety. While waiting on our food some servers and the hostess congregated behind our table and had a conversation about the painting and general small talk. It was distracting and I would encourage the staff to have their conversations of of the dining room floor. The duck was very well executed and the pear sauce and polenta cake were good complements. The steak was good but a little overcooked. As we ate we saw other people seated in the front near the windows. That would have been preferable and if we go back I would definitely ask to be seated there. I am guessing the owner or manager, I am not sure who he was since he didn't introduce himself,came by and asked how the food was and thanked us for coming at the end. Our server was barely attentive. I would more then likely go back for lunch or maybe just a glass of wine.

Pros: good food, elegant presentation

Cons: inattentive server, seating is a little crowded

I fell upon 360 Bistro not knowing it was in the area and was very surprised. The food was outstanding. My carpaccio was very good, well chilled and the presentation was very nice. i also had the Sturgeon which was fantastic. Served with a smoked tomato vinaigrette. So happy to find 360.

Pros: menu size perfect

Cons: tables too tight

My husband and I went to Bistro 360 for Valentine's Day 2008. We had been there when they were The Grape and enjoyed it.. We had to order the prix fixe menu. That was fine with us. Our server was very slow and apparently had too many tables because between courses either there was too much lag time or they were bringing out the next course before we had finished the prior course. The server was not attentive to us and when I had seen that aside from the dessert items listed on the prix fixe menu the were serving some people cheesecake, I asked if I could have that since I ended up with some horrible fruit soup dessert. The first course was okay. The second was the best course. My husband choose the chocolate ganache dessert and that was very good. However, I was not pleased with the food or the server. For over $150, our meal should have been much better and we should have gotten top notch service. Also, they charged us $16 each for a flight of 3 wines each with each wine flight only being a 3 oz pour. That is too high for a place like Bistro 360. Maybe in a 5 star restaurant. We browsed the wine list and checked out the prices on some of the bottles and they are very inflated. LIberty School for $40 a bottle. That is way too high. Obviously, the wife of the owner being a sommelier should help them offer good wines at reasonable prices and not try to rip people off by marking up prices on bottles of wine. We had a good Valentine's Dinner probably because of the company, not because of the meal or the service. Although, I do like the atmosphere of the restaurant and the seats were very cushy and comfortable. Oh, almost forgot. The server never offered us coffee with our dessert. We probably will never return to this restaurant. We were not impressed with the food. Just the decor.

Pros: Nice atmosphere and decor

Cons: Poor service and food quality not exceptional really
