What Dorian Leannon likes about Beatty and the Bistro:
It is difficult to not give Bitters a good review, but it is important to recognize that the establishment is operated by graduate students rather than professional bar or kitchen staff. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Beatty and the Bistro:
The food and service were once amongst the best in the city. Place is starting to look run down, service is beyond slow and quality of food is average at best. I hope they can turn it around because I would never recommend it now and I once recommended it a lot. View all feedback.

Despite once being a top spot in the city, the declining quality of service, food, and ambiance leaves much to be desired. The restaurant is in need of a serious revamp. However, loyal customers appreciate the warm atmosphere and delicious fish chowder. Operated by graduate students, the place is charming, offering tasty dishes like seafood chowder and bruschetta. Some patrons have enjoyed excellent, fresh meals for years, despite slow service. With a unique decor and delicious, homemade food, the Beatty Beastro has the potential to overcome its current challenges and return to its former glory.
