Bliss Bistro often looks quiet and empty inside, although the atmosphere appears warm and inviting. The food and wine were quite good, and I especially enjoyed the duck confit. Dining in the garden after dark was pretty nice, but there were mosquitoes, so be prepared. Overall a nice dining experience, and for I hope they can attract more customers in this cute neighborhood location.

The Perfect Bistro!!!
by musiqnu
This is such a perfect bistro. The menu provides excellent variety and I was also glad to see that the dishes are not the "super rich French" fare that I don't always like, but instead more American with French influences...or something, JUST KNOW the menu offers a large selection of delicious, and moderately priced dishes to choose from- also, the outdoor patio is so nice and romantic. I oculd go on and on, but instead-- you try it =) I will be back- briunch, prix fix menus, more vino, Monsieur!!
Pros: cuisine, service, ambiance
Cons: none

Amazing food, best in Sunnyside
by froggygoo
My boyfriend and I dined there tonight and fell in love with the restaurant. The menu seems to be American cuisine with French-inspired flair. I had chicken au jus with truffle mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce. The chicken was roasted and cooked perfectly; the sauce was delicious. My boyfriend had the steak with frites and vegetables. I tasted his steak and wished I had ordered that because it was so tasty. You could really taste all the flavors, especially the garlic. The lighting is intoxicating. Overall, we had a lovely time and hope to return back soon to sit in their backyard outdoor seating that looks very inviting. I highly recommend. We're sorry we didn't go sooner.
Pros: delicious food, great menu, perfect lighting, very romantic
Cons: don't go there expecting true French cuisine, it's really only French inspired
