I had called to order the Pecan Strawberry salad for pick up, as although I enjoy sitting in the restaurant, I was extremely busy. This is my favorite salad from them because of the pecans. I picked it up, brought it home and there were no pecans in the pecan salad. I called to let the hostess know and her response was not indicative of superb customer service. A «well do you want to come back to pick up pecans» should have been«can you please come back so we can correct the order and we will include a side soup» or «let me get your information so next time you come in we can include a salad or soup to your meal on us». I didn’t have time to drive back and no other solution was offered except for her telling the chefs in the back know what happened. Apart from that really good food!

I invited my friend for lunch. We didn’t wait much to be seated. We ordered the special of the day which was chicken with 2 shrimps and a sauce. Not impressed. Got my bill $ 51.Fine big deal. Now having to wait for waiter to come back with your $ 9 change for 45 minutes because he was too busy to bring back your receipt was mediocre. I totally tip well but when service is not the best and the play dumb so they can keep the change is just upsetting. Needless to say he kept the change and we walked out. Not worth it in my opinion.

This place is excellent. Food like none other: fresh and beautifully presented. Invited my friend to join me for lunch and she was amazed at the food, service, atmosphere and cost. I ordered an espresso coffee and will return to treat myself to an exception delight.

Great place for lunch with great ambiance. A little on the pricey side if I could rate a 4.5 this place would be a 4.5. Staff is great and very friendly and the place is beautiful. The food is good and it’s definitely not your ordinary food. There’s a special taste to the food but it’s lacking greatness. However it’s almost there. A great place to visit none the less.

Special café menu was intriguing but a tad over rated. And pricey. Good and varied pastry selection. Chef Jesse came out and explained the menu and process he goes through when cooking. That was super cool.

Lovely venue, elegantly appointed. Attentive service. Upscale menu. Delicious food. Our first visit to the Loretto Bistro definitely won’t be our last. We went for brunch on Saturday. Our party of three had pancakes, waffle, and the«Hangover,» a pulled pork burrito. All were delightful.

Service lacks appropriate response time. They gave an uncooked chicken breast on my salad! How can people ruin a salad? Crappy. Needs improvement on service and chef training.

First time here and definitely not the last! ITWASAMAZING! My mom had the strawberry spinach salad and shrimp scampi, I had the Lamry salad and also amazing! We will come back soon and try the brunch menu! The place is super cute and clean, the bathroom also really beautiful and they even have lotion to moisturize your hands after washing.

We just got here, but right of the bat we expected a bread basket, nope, so we asked where the apps on the menu are, they don’t have that either. We decided on pasta for my husband and he wanted pair it with a wine, no wine, I wanted a beer with my sandwich, clearly no beer. We have received our food yet, let see what our entrée because they pretty much have that with sides of salads, ONE soup of the day(it was spicy so I couldn’t have it) or a side salad. This place pre ordering and asking about the menu is such a let down.

I’ve eaten here twice and both times the service and the food have been great. The atmosphere and décor and nice and inviting. The food is perfectly seasoned and the staff is great! Awesome place for lunch! I’m glad Mission finally has a restaurant like this. Highly recommend the red velvet cupcake and the shrimp pancetta pasta.

This weekend we decided to head over to The Loretto Bistro to have lunch in celebration of my mothers birthday; this was our first visit. Atmosphere was beautiful, tons of natural lighting and a great open feel. Wait staff was very knowledgable of the menu and very attentive. The food was delicious, I had a half portion of the strawberry pecan salad with the house cilantro ranch dressing and as my main dish I had the wild mushroom risotto with chicken. Very delicious food and happy to see something like this in the valley. We can’t wait to visit again. Oh, and don’t leave without trying the carrot cake; it’s heaven on earth.

First time visit. Out of town guest. I ordered a entrée salad which had bruised avocado and rotten tomato. Very disappointing considering how abundant produce is in this area. Expected that the chef/cook would be proud of what they sent out to be served on the table. The setting and service are good. Will try at least one more time. The cucumber lemonade was refreshing and a nice combination.

I’m not giving it 5 Stars because it just opened today. Had a salad and it was great. The ambience was fantastic.
