My husband and I love this place for date nights. The food is consistently great. The music and dancing is romantic. And Frankie and the bar staff always provide top notch service. My favorite drink is the Irish-O and my husband likes the old fashioned. Guacamole and chips is a great appetizer. And we usually order the steak and chicken entrees. I am never disappointed at Bistango.

I was taken here as a business client and can I say, the atmosphere with live music was awesome ! The food was great especially the sides like the truffle fries, asparagus and brussle sprouts.Just expect it to be pricey...

The service is good but not great. The overall style of the restaurant is outdated. It's a gigantic fish bowl feeling which means it's loud. The food quality was bland. The Spanish shrimp entree is what you could make by watching a You Tube video for 5 min. The swordfish was very good which had a mushroom gravy flavor. We ordered two glasses of champagne which was cold and served in chilled glasses. Overall just a mediocre restaurant in an old run down corporate building.

Delicious food! The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare! Not many places get the right temperature for food. The 16oz Rib Eye comes with one side of potatoes, we added one mo re side and it was enough for two people! Previously we had had the wedge salad as an appetizer which I did not take a picture off but it was delicious too. We went on a Saturday night and they had live music, very nice location. Service was very flat and we had to wait a long time to have our order taken but it’s definitely a place I would go back for the great food. Parking it’s $8 an hour but they validate your ticket at the end which I was not expecting but was very nice.

Great live music here - I have discovered a few favorite bands here. The menu here is perfection. They are great with preparing lamb, chicken and salmon, but everything here is really delicious. Great cocktails and very friendly and professional staff (with great memories).

Joined a girlfriend for lunch and she had the salmon salad special and I loved my blackened shrimp salad with feta! We each had ice tea and cappuccino after lunch. The service was terrific and really enjoyed the round booth we were given. Nice sunny ambience too. Very efficient valet and convenient location to her office in MacArthur Court.
It was very nice. My friend's food was under cooked...he asked for medium rare and his lamb came back rare. He didn't finish the lamb (small order) and took the remaining chop home to cook more the next day. Other than that the food was good, the wait staff helpful and relatively prompt. I did order a grand mariner soufflé with the rest of my meal, but they still took quite a awhile to deliver it, I had hoped they would begin cooking it as we were finishing our m,Ian course, apparently not. Overall I like the restaurant and enjoy the food immensely Le, we just had an off evening there I guess.

One of our favorite restaurants in Newport Beach. Karyn and her team do a great job. I had a business meeting with the CEO of a partner company and was very happy that he was please with the food and service. Moses was great, he showed us the way.

The pasta with beef was amazing! Also I ordered Isfahan Coctail! The taste was something else! I definitely try this place more than once.
