If Bistro on the Avenue were to launch today in any other location, it would not survive, due to its price point and lack of creativity.  However, it is a favorite among Westmount locals, and is a viable option if you live nearby and don't feel like cooking.  In other words, we would not go out of our way with the intent of coming here, but we also wouldn't mind revisiting this long-standing establishment every now and then.
