In Short – Navigating the sprawling Design Marketplace Center to find this bistro is no easy task. But when they do arrive, diners are more than ready to relax into the modish Mediterranean-on-the-Schuylkill surroundings. For a main course, try the grilled swordfish and trout fillet medallions with purple potatoes and caraway seed-citrus vinaigrette. Or try the citrus-infused white-bean herb salad and cilantro-Dijon sauce that comes with the pan-seared salmon.

Delightful

My husband and I returned to "The Bistro" for our fifth anniversary. The food is always superb. This visit we went "tres francais" with the escargot and charcuterie apps, followed by a very tasty striped bass and rack of lamb. My only disappointment was that Bistro's legendary cassoulet was not yet on the menu. We finished by sharing a chocolate mousse cake "demi-boule". The ambiance was urbane yet comfprtable with sparkling river views. A wonderful and romantic evening.
- Pros: superb food, fantastic view, great ambiance

Please Sir.. May I Have Some More

What a great meal! Everything we had was super yummy and the prices were very reasonable. I had the risotto with scalllops which was unbelievable. If our waiter had rolled a tub of it up to the table, I would've dived in, head-first, just so I could eat my way out. I don't often have food fantasies quite like that, but that's how good it was.
- Pros: Superb foood, really cool view
- Cons: None really
