A friend and I met for lunch with a reservation. We were seated and offered water and nothing more, no wine list. The waiter seemed hurried, my mushroom spaghetti (no vegan options) was salty and the pasta was more than del dente. No offer of...fresh pepper…pricing is steep for this small offering… My companions sandwich seemed ok, she ate it but left half, the fries were not eaten We asked for a Latte, both coffees cold and both cost 7.90$. With so many other lovely restaurants to try this moves to the bottom of my list, sadly…More

10 years ago we had a really bad experience and had to walk out after two and a half hours of not having had our main course. We are all for second chances, so we decided to bring our friends this time and give it...another go. Service was extremely slow, but we were very patient about it, as it gave us more time to chat and catch up with our friends. However, when we see our server Robert interact with other diners, who seem to be regulars and locals, we were surprised that we were NOT receiving the same level of service. I have to admit though that the bad experience we had ten years ago involved the same individual, believe it or not. He was quite rude, got orders and bills mixed up, etc. He literally slapped the receipt on the table, and questioned our friends why they didn’t leave any gratuity!! Either we were stupid for going back or we were hoping there would be much improvement in the service level….It was such an unfortunate experience for our friends who had never been, and for us to have driven all the way from Niagara-On-The-Lake to then be treated like second class customers; it really wasn’t worth it, and we don’t think we’ll be back any time soon. We can do far better for less, and be treated more respectfully somewhere else.More

The staff were amazing but the food was not. We asked ahead of time if they could do a vegan option. I chose mushroom spaghetti and it didn’t explain what you got. Just a few mushrooms on a small amount of spaghetti very salty and...oily no flavour cost $29.00 nothing extra. Salad would have been $15.00 on top of this. Prices way too high for what you get. Definitely not value for the money. Won’t be going back!More

I ordered chicken , avocado, bacon and lettuce club sandwich with fries, and my friend ordered spaghetti Bolognese. The chicken was very dry and my fries were burned, a very small dish of coleslaw accompanied this and I have to say that this was the...best part of the meal! The Spaghetti was very dry and not enough sauce. We should have complained at the time, but I didn’t want to spoil the experience for my friend.I had a glass of tap water and friend had 2 bottles of Stella Artois. No desserts ,nothing else and the bill with a small tip came to $91. Disgraceful for what we had . I feel sad to say but we will not visit here again .More

Every time we have had a meal at the Lowville Bistro it has been wonderful. The food is delicious, the wait staff are friendly and efficient. It is our go-to place for special occasions. It is not inexpensive, but it is worth every penny.

This has been a go to place for us for quite a few years. We loved it, and took many friends and family to dine here, raving about it! Well, I have thought long and hard about writing this. It is not easy. We were...embarrassed quite frankly. The prices had gone up markedly, and the portions were very small. The menu choices had been pared down significantly. I had a small steak with a tiny smattering of vegetables $49. I asked for rare, and got medium. My husband had the same. His medium steak was well done. I sent mine back, and ended up with a smaller steak. There were only 2 main course specials, and the once plentiful dessert menu had only 3 items. The riblets appetizer was about a third of what it used to be. Only 2 servers were there, so service was very slow, and spotty. Total bill was $364 for 4 people with 1 bottle of wine. I don't want to say that we won't be back, but we will give it time to see if things improve.More

Beautiful location but outrageously priced. Specially in a small place. Country setting. French fries for $13.95? Salads for $ 20? Not much vegetarian choices.

Fantastic dinner at Lowville Bistro! The service was excellent - as always - and the food was wonderful!!! Their outdoor patio is lovely, secluded and nicely shaded, with tables well spaced. Due to the weather, we ate indoors and again, tables are well spaced and...we felt totally safe. The fish special was outstanding and the veal chop was excellent - and huge! Robert, the owner, is highly visible and ensures everyone’s evening is going well. The staff are attentive and engaging, and seem to be enjoying their shift. We had a lovely dinner, as we always do! Lowville Bistro remains one of our favourites!More

While the location and patio were lovely, the food was disappointing. Service was friendly and efficient and the appetizers (bistro salad and escargot) were ok, but the pasta entrees were not very good at all … and expensive for what they were. Both were swimming...in below average tasting sauce. The sausage in my partners penne arrabbiata was tough and fairly tasteless. Also surprised that many items on the menu just weren’t available. No pizza, no chickpea fries, no dessert. I would go back to have a drink on the patio but I wouldn’t eat here again.More

I was thrilled with our welcome to the Bistro, management of Covid, professional wait staff and an amazing meal! Will be going again!!

Have eaten here for years and never been disappointed. Great staff. Great food. Great specials. Love the outdoor patio. We also enjoy their take out. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner

Used to be quite a nice little gem, with awesome servers and a cook staff to die for.... the last few times it’s been very disappointing... prices have gone up.. portions down . The wife and I used to go here for every date night......but that will not be happening again. Gonna miss seeing Roberts smiling face though!!More
