French Market Bistro is a great restaurant all around, so I imagine you can't go wrong.

Their chargrilled oysters and the crab/brie soup are two of my favorites. They have a slight Asian leaning in their dishes, which I love.

Has anyone ever had the pizza there? I saw someone post about it the other day, and I didn't even realize they had pizzas.

The fish special of the day is always worth considering

Crab and bri soup

Chargrilled oysters

A hidden gem is the chicken caper

Never had a bad meal there

Don't get a steak. Everything else is great.

For lunch, they usually have a grilled chicken dish, broccolini, and mac and cheese. It's very good.

I can't speak for dinner because I rarely go for dinner.

Fair enough, the one time I had a steak there it sucked. Just my opinion.

Everyone has strong opinions about pizza, but I think it’s one of the best pizzas in BR. Whenever we go to dinner there as a family, I make my daughter get a pizza so I can have a few slices.

You must have just had bad luck, I eat dinner at FMB a good bit. When I’m not feeling seafood I go with the steakhouse special (filet plated with blue cheese wedge), it’s simple and always great. Their blue cheese salads are some of my favorites.

I’ve had a few bad service meals over the years. I think they were new employees but I’ve never had a bad meal there. Love that place

Chicken Caper is definitely a hidden gem that most wouldn't think to get.

Borivane knows what he's doing back there and really gets creative with the specials they run at dinner time. He also does a great job of letting his line create their own stuff too.

This used to be BR's best kept secret, but the secret has definitely been let out the past few years. Been going there for 15+ years and never have had a bad meal.
