Balkan Garden Bistro

"This restaurant offers authentic food from Bosnia, according to our friend that is from there. My favorite dish was the Cevapi, but everything we ordered was excellent. Our server Michael recommended a couple of dishes and desserts. He was great! We enjoyed the entire experience; it was worth the drive!"

"This is such a great place to have a meal. My husband & I came by for Sunday brunch, & they did not disappoint. I love the ambience from the decor and design, & it gives a calm atmosphere. I ordered Balkan steak & eggs with a Turkish coffee. Meanwhile, my husband got lobster bisque, cheese pita, & a buttermilk pancake. Since it's our first time here, we sampled each other's dishes and all were delicious. Can't wait to come back again, perhaps for dinner next time."

"Tried this new place out on a Wednesday evening and it was fairly full which is a good sign. We all thought it was good but not great but would give it another chance. The beef kabob was request med-rate but came out well done and rather tough and under seasoned. Liked the cevapi and would like to try other more traditional items and have a dessert - they look amazing!"

"Me and my friends decided to check this new place and and surprisingly impressed. We had a large party and with different requests and orders. The staff was very friendly and pro-active. Amazing atmosphere, good food and great service. Definitely will come back."

"Glad this place is finally open. Been anxious to try it out since we saw the signs go up down the way from our place. The atmosphere and decor is nice and feels cozy and welcoming. We were greeted kindly and sat by the chef himself. I am not sure yet if he may also be the owner but may inquire next visit. Our waiter was Hector. He was very kind and knowledgeable with the few questions we had, having never been there before, or had very much experience enjoying Balkan region cuisine. He took great care of us. I had the Cevapi. It is seasoned sausages on a sizzling iron skillet with onion and red peppers with a Bosnian flatbread? If I recall correctly. But dang, it was so good. The bread was fantastic. Grilled, lightly oiled, easy to tear apart and porous and fluffy on the inside. It came with a side of some sort of mild pepper sauce and a yogurty based sauce. I guess you can eat it how you like, but I tore off bread and made mini pitas out of it and put sausage, sauce and onion and peppers on it. Parts of the menu have some pricier entrees like a tomahawk steak, and sea bass. We thought what we ordered was a little on the pricier side too even though it was mid range price in the menu. Until we saw the portions we got. You'll probably have lunch for tomorrow for leftovers. We had the ceviche as an appetizer and it could feed like 4 people to share to start Or close to 2 just to have as a shared small lunch for 2. And this ceviche is fresh and delicious, and it is mostly seafood. A lot of places load theirs with tomato and onion and whatnot to cut costs. But theirs is large, very fresh, and very liberal with the protein. Which I can also very much say about the cevapi and the kebab dish my mom had. You will definitely get your money's worth. What we had was fantastic. We will definitely be back, and I want to try more of the menu. I didn't try any cocktails, but the selection looked nice, as well as wine. They also have a bakery near the front door that looked awesome! Hopefully Hector will be working and be able to take care of us again next time we stop in! Glad you guys are in the neighborhood. We'll be back soon!"

"Had the most delicious brunch today! The food was amazing with such beautiful presentation! The ambiance was perfect for catching up with my cousin. Had a wonderful peach bellini to accompany our meal. Definitely recommend those who want fabulous food, personable service and gorgeous environment to stop in! Carlos was our server and Juan made the most amazing bread pudding!!"

"We went here for my daughter's birthday and we chose it because of the reviews and photos. We loved it, Carlos was a great server, the food was great. We will definitely be back!!"
