“ This is one of my parents favorite restaurants, when they come to visit us in Clinton. We were disappointed the past few times we have visited, with the food quality (seemed to have gone downhill in recent years). This being said, were extremely impressed on our visit last weekend. It seems that there were a few new dishes on the menu, and the classic french fare was re-imagined with attention to quality and flavor. This said, the service though extremely professional and courteous was a little slow. It took a while for what appeared to be the one server working to make her way to all the tables. It was busy for a Sunday afternoon! This said the young lady who served us made us feel very welcome and did her best to take care of us, and ultimately was extremely gracious. We love sitting on next to the windows overlooking the vineyard. You really can't beat that backdrop, and we love the intimate setting of the bistro. We look forward to returning soon! ”
“ This was my first time eating in the bistro.. cute restaurant, once it started to fill up the acoustics were better. Our server was very attentive.. I wanted a side of vegetables and he made it happen without a problem! The Mac and cheese is delicious, we loved it. Also really enjoyed the fries and mussels. The watermelon salad was a little blah, but overall great meal! We each did a flight as well, their wine is yummy! Very good ambiance to the whole winery.. ”
“ This might be one of my more frequented restaurants, especially for a nice lunch. I always get the Madame croquet, because where else can you get it?? It's been consistent over the last ~6 years which is a huge testament to the kitchen. I love being able to see the kitchen. Service is always good. Can't wait for the stone cold red to return to the menu. Love checking out the art on display, as it changes just about every time we come. ”
“ One of the best dining experiences I've had, ever. Our server, Garrett, was incredibly informative and attentive, while at the same time giving us space to enjoy our food and conversation. We got a bottle of the malbec and the assortiments de fromage. All the cheeses were excellent, however, the brie combined with honeycomb over the warm baguette took the prize. For our main courses we ordered the half duck and the chicken forestiere. Cooked to perfection, with a fantastic crisp to the skin. Don't skip out on dessert, highly recommend the crème brûlée. The quality of the meal exceeded expectations for the prices charged. Will definitely be back! ”
“ What a nice treat in a sea of fried clams and lobster rolls!! An excellent selection of traditional French cuisine using local ingredients paired with local wines. The 19 Chard was very good. Enjoy! ”
“ Chamard has exquisite food. The atmosphere is nice and you can eat outside at the picnic tables if you wish and can bring your kids and even your dog. A little pricey but it is well worth it in my opinion. ”
“ Let me start by saying I typically only write reviews for either exceptional or terrible experiences. Let me also say that I am usually a very health conscious person. If I order a burger, I'm the annoying type to remove the top bun to make it a little less guilty. The Four Mile River Farm Burger at Chamard Bistro is an experience. Don't worry about remembering the name, it's the only burger on the menu. Which also says a lot about it. There wasn't an ounce of guilt experienced while eating this thing. It is perfection. I literally closed my eyes and savored every bite slowly. I don't know what they put in this masterpiece, but the flavors blend so perfectly, it is astounding. Note to the chefs: do not change the recipe of this burger. You've reached nirvana. The rest of the experience was exceptional as well. The service is spectacular and the wine is delicious. The servers are knowledgeable and recommend things well. Now back to this burger. Oh my God. ”
“ Nice for a light summer meal. Tuna salad fine, chicken pesto sandwich fine, service very good, ambiance relaxed and easy, wine inexpensive by the glass. Ask for a window seat in either the dining room or tasting room, deck is great for dining if not too sunny, rainy or cold. ”
“ This is a great place. We stumbled across this place somewhat accidentally and were pleasantly surprised. We were able to get a seat overlooking the vineyard and it was incredible. Our bread was hot from the oven. The muscles were plump and juicy. My Crocque Madame was amazing, with a perfectly cooked egg and great ham. and were pleasantly surprised. ”
