The best place to enjoy your evening in Turlock. Great ambience, great food and exceptional service. Always run into friends and family always a plus...

We were stuck next to the kitchen and the large party room. People kept hitting us as they walked by. It smelled very fishy and it took over 45 minutes to get our food. The only upside to our overpriced dinner was the tiramisu.

The Food and Service was exceptional but we we had no choice but to sit outside.
The evening was very hot and it really detracted from the experience.

It had been a while since we had last been out to Bistro 234, kids will put a damper on ones eating out out places that dont have play places. This was our anniversary and we had ditched the kids for once so we revisited an old favorite. It was better then we remembered and while they seemed a little short staffed on a Tuesday night the bartender/waiter was on point and did an outstanding job.

Hands down one if the best meals that I've EVER had! My wife and I went to celebrate two months being married (silly, I know. we're still in that honeymoon phase). The food was downright AMAZING! Great wine selection, both by the glass and by the bottle. To top it off, the service was still excellent. It is a bit pricey, but well worth the cost.

First time I've there, and made already reservations for my 25 years anniversary . And also told the people from Belgium that we are going in oktober .

My filet was cooked perfectly medium rare! Melt in your mouth. I am never disappointed. The food, drink and especially the service was exceptional. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

WAS one of our favorite places... but on this night we were told the chef would not make a lunch version of our favorite salmon (which we do all the time) and when the food came out it was awful. The salmon was swimming in a huge puddle of sauce with only 2 asparagus spears.
It was very disappointing and actually turned out stomachs. My husbands steak was "chewy" in his words. The waitress never came back to ask how things were or offered dessert. Unfortunately both couples have now crossed this restaurant off our lists.

Food was amazing and the place was very elegant but the service sucked our waitress only came to our table like once

Very good food

Server seemed to have gotten up on the wrong side of bed.

The service was a little inattentive and slow. They don't have a kids' menu and don't even offer any smaller meals for children. I've been to plenty of restaurants that don't have kids' menus, but the waiters at least offer kids options (pasta with butter, etc). We were told the gnocchi was our option (a full serving for an 8 year old). Food was delicious though.

Bistro 234 never disappoints. So far, the best potato gnocchi I have ever had.

I have never had a bad meal here. I tried the special tonight, seared venision with cherry reduction, potatoes, and asparagus. My guests had short ribs, and sea bass. All of our dish were great.

Can't go wrong! They have an amazing menu and great specials every time we go! We are never disappointed!

Nice we were able to make a reservation and we got there and got seated immediately. The food is excellent quality and good portions, we were able to have a conversation and hear each other, wonderful atmosphere. Waiters we kind and did an awesome job, never had to ask for anything.

Very good as usual. Will continue coming here for business and casual dinning.

The water and bread was already on our table when we got there. Service was great!! And food was really great too. Not one complaint.

Another great meal at Bistro 234, along with outstanding service. I will definitely be back.

Jayton continues to keep the Bistro going strong. Shawn, our server, was steady and attentive to our needs and ensured we enjoyed ourselves. We will continue to dine at the Bistro without any hesitation!

I was at Bistro a couple of years ago and I remembered this really good burger they offer with pickled onions. . Decided to give it another try with the Hubbs. This time we ordered something different. He had the ribeye with this rich mustard sauce over it. Overall I would say It was ok.
The pasta with shrimp I ordered was nothing special. Penne pasta with this rich white sauce basically. The truffle macaroni was also ok. I did like the Albarino wine though! That was worth it. May be I will try it again during their wine tasting nights.

Great location. Seated immediately. Wait staff outstanding and personable. One in the party ordered a glass of wine and after serving it, the waiter brought out a sampling of a similar wine. His recommendation (and the taste of his sample wine) encouraged us to seek out the winery the same weekend to purchase a couple of bottles to take home. Great experience and fantastic food!

Awesome food as usual.
Server was ok. Not very friendly.
Love this restaurant.

We came in late but as it was our anniversary, we wanted to still have a nice evening out and were not disappointed. Service was exceptional as well as the food.

Very good flavorable food. Loved the shallot aioli. The salad had the perfect amount of dressing (tossed) not drowning in dressing. Everything was great.

This was our first time at Bistro and it lived up to all of the hype. The food was delicious, the cocktails were great and the service was top notch. I had the halibut and my husband had the sea bass - both delicious. We had the iceberg wedge salad to start and it was so fresh and tasty. The blue cheese on it was amazing. We ended the meal with creme brule. Perfect. We will be back soon.

Table was pushed into a corner, limited air conditioning which made us very uncomfortable.

The food and service are always amazing. The staff always goes out of their way to make sure you are happy.

great food and great drinks. The waiter left a lot to be desired.. He asked everyone around us how their food was but not us. He offered dessert to all around us but not us. Never smiled once. We left a $25 tip. Hope that made him smile

Always wonderful, always top-notch. Jayton is the best!!!

Jay and his crew always go a step above and provide a great experience.

Thank you so much for a wonderful graduation lunch yesterday!!! Best service, best food and we had an amazing time. We live in Tracy and can't wait to visit Bistro 234 again. I gave you a huge shout out on FB too. Truly a wonderful restraurant!!!!

I was very disappointed. I had not been to this restaurant in a long time. I had always thought it was overpriced but the service was usually pretty good. This time it was awful. The guy didn't tell us there were specials nor was he at all attentive, and definitely not friendly. Perhaps it was because we were two older women since he treated the couple at the next table very differently. It was hot and I ordered a salad. For $20 I got a lot of lettuce, a little dressing slopped on the plate and 3 shrimp...not worth the money!

Ordered a Marker's Mark old fashion (on the menu) and bartender poured an inferior whiskey. Drinks were order during happy hour

Great food

Came in on a Saturday for an early Mother's Day lunch. Pretty busy so had to wait a few minutes for the hostess, not a problem except for my elderly father who cannot stand long. Service was slow, but very good. The three of us really enjoyed our food and my parents said they would certainly come back. However, the highlight of the meal was the Bloody Mary. My father is still talking about them, and said he would go back just for those! Thumbs up, and see you again soon!

Cozy bistro on Main in Turlock. Good food, excellent service, nice decor. Altogether a classy way to dine. I had Ahi; my wife had Chilean sea bass. All well prepared. also the olive assortment with chewy sourdough bread...absolutely yummy. Just come for a cocktail, olives and bread. A classy addition to old town Turlock. Nicely done.

Took my prom date to dinner here before the dance. We both enjoyed the food; she ordered the grilled mahi mahi and I the Bistro 234 New York Strip. It's a very pleasant environment, definitely recommend.

Seems that if you make a reservation through Open Table, you get the worst tables even if reserve early. Food is so-so. Servers are really friendly.

It is the perfect little place for a nice date or even just more of a classy dinner
