My first time at historical Bistro 821 and it was unforgettable! We had a table just on the 5th Avenue S due to Christmas parade, enjoying the view and the ambiance. Service is fast and attentive , but sometimes busy. However, we stayed till late, so sincerely appreciate for patience! We ordered Sea Bass and Snapper with a house salad accompanying by white wine Cakebread Cellars from Napa Valle . OMG! So delicious! Fish, especially Sea Bass was something phenomenal! With coconut sauce it reminds Asia and tastes fantastic! Also the wine was very good! I sincerely enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. That dinner made my day! Yes, I definitely recommend to dine at this restaurant and hope to come again for that delicious food at the patio no doubt!

Started with the Brie appetizer which was very good. Loved the sauce underneath with the combination of the Brie and buttery crust. The wedge was delicious the bacon jam and the crispy onions really tie it together. But what I love the most is that you could make combinations with the entrees. So I got both the snapper and the sea bass over risotto. Both had their own flavor and own sauces and the risotto created a nice barrier between them so they didn't mix. I loved the sea bass flavor but enjoyed the crispiness of the snapper. I will be back! Bathroom was clean but the stalls were quite tight. Staff was accommodating.
