Bistro 12

Fantastic food with Mediterranean influence. I had the grilled octopus and the Branzino and while simply prepared - both dishes were beautifully presented and delicious! The owners are lovely, welcoming people and it truly feels like you've been invited to dine in their home! If in Tarrytown or nearby, don't miss this little gem!

We went to try Bistro12 today for the first time and the food was delicious! As appetizers we got lobster bisque and bolinho de bacalhau (I forgot to take pictures), as main course we ordered the seafood risotto and the risotto saffron with filet mignon, and last but not least we had the Portuguese pudim and the carrot cake for dessert. Everything with high quality and extremely tasty! Also our waiter named Carlos was very accommodating and attentive. We’re definitely coming back to try other dishes.

Lobster bisque soup was good. Grilled octopus appetizer was good. Beet salad was good. Lemon drop martini was meh. Braised rabbit was disgusting. I'd go back here again if I was in the area, but I'd try a different drink and I'd NEVER order the rabbit again. And I recommend others do the same. (P.S. This wasn't my first time trying rabbit. I haven't had rabbit very often, maybe 1 or 2 times before this. My previous experiences were good from what I remember. The rabbit here was greasy, bony, stringy, the mushrooms overly buttery, and the vegetable side boring.)

Bistro 12 is one of the best restaurants in Westchester! The food is authentic, fresh and delicious! The ambience is warm and inviting… As an added bonus, the art on display is also phenomenal! Well done to Miguel and Manuel for this amazing gem. Five stars is not enough! Do not walk, RUN to this place!!!

Find this local gem while we were visiting our kids. A storefront restaurant serving European food. Just wanted a little bit since we flew in and had a late lunch. I tried the Grilled Octopus, Garlic /Oil and Escarole and Fried Calamari with Tomato Sauce. Both very good. My wife ordered the Butternut Squash Soup and the Eggplant Rollatini. She thought the soup was on the light side. Miguel , the owner who comes from Portugal's Madeira Islands is consistently over seeing the dining room and talking with diners. Even plays the ukulele. Both very good food and service.

We had a delicious meal at Bistro 12. The food was light and fresh. After three courses, we left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. The salads were both specials. The sardine salad was savory and tasty. The crabmeat salad was sweet with avocado and cherry tomatoes and a lemon vinaigrette dressing. Entrees came with mixed vegetables that were at the peak of freshness. Only complaint was that the meal was a bit rushed. I’d suggest telling the waiter to slow down the pace if you’d prefer a more slow-paced, relaxing meal.
