Bistro 821

What to Eat

They’re known for their seafood — the Miso Sake Sea Bass and Jumbo Prawns are house favorites. The crab dip is a great starter, and the scallops and Chilean sea bass get raves from just about everyone. Expect flavors that fuse Asian, European, and domestic influences — it works better than it sounds.

Happy Hour

Happy hour runs 5:00–6:30 PM at the bar, open daily. A great excuse to grab a seat early and try a cocktail. The bartenders are known for a great espresso martini.

Events

Bistro 821 hosts events throughout the year — Restaurant Week, Thanksgiving, a Christmas Long Table dinner, and New Year’s Eve. Check their events page for what’s coming up: Special Events
