What Blanca Bashirian doesn't like about Starving Artists Bistro:
We were seated right away at a small table which didn't fit four people and a baby with a diaper bag. Then the we had to flag our waitress after 20 minutes of waiting. The food wasn't that great for the price they charge. I won't be returningFood: 1/5 View all feedback. What JESSICA likes about Starving Artists Bistro:
We went for an early lunch and the food was not very good. To be fair, I don't think the food is the selling point.The atmosphere is very relaxed/casual and the restaurant has a ton of music memorabilia. The artist theme is definitely the focus and that was 100% met.Based on my experience, I'd say this place would be great for appetizers, drinks, and live music with friends. View all feedback.

Yummmyy the shrimp salad was amazing! It was a sweet and savoury bite for lunch and I ended it so fast. The location is stunning and the service was on site!
