Reviews
The short ribs were tough. The gravy was salty. The cauliflower tasted burned and everything was cold.
Both our meals were fresh and delicious. Staff was friendly and prompt with everything.
Ambient temperature of the restaurant was too cold for us
food is always very consistent and the service is superlative
We enjoy their super fresh and tasty salads. Big enough for 2 A wonderful place to share with a friend...but I miss their delicious Sunday brunch
They have an excellent choice of dinners and a array of choices in small dishes as well as full meal deals:) Its one of our favorite places to eat.
Server Norma was great. Food was excellent
great I will be back
We were on a 1 hour lunch break and informed our server when we arrived of our limited time. After ordering, it took so long for our food to come out that we all were forced to box up half our food. My cheese/bacon was burned on my sandwich.
Chef Zach is a favorite of ours!
Service and food were exceptional.
The service was average. The prices were very high for what we got. The menu choices were odd. There are not very many entrees but many choices for what they call shareables. Regret is what I feel this morning for spending so much and not enjoying it! Oh ya, the steak (sirloin) was very chewy. The menu reads that it's aged like it would be really good, NOT!
EXCELLENT FOOD, Great Ambiance
staff was friendly
server was great
I had a pork and Brie dish that was...bland. Just not exciting and not worth the meal price.However my friends food was much better
Great service and personal attention.
Norma the server is amazing. we have had her a few times now and she makes the experience great!
Norma was FANTASTIC!
The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and prompt.
Pair of sliders and gin and tonic. Plus couple of brews. Best servers in Puyallup.
The food was excellent but service slow.
My chicken was WAY overcooked then they tried to tell me it was prepared like that on purpose because they "char" the outside. The chicken was BLACK n the bottom and took a steak knife to cut through it.
The staff was friendly and gave us great service with a smile!
great food. wonderful server.
Always a pleasure. Fantastic as always.
Everything was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a great experience and will be going back.
app and salads came out fast, but when it came to the entree it took over half hour
Great food with lots of unique flavors.
The food was excellent, but the furniture could have been more comfortable.
Always great food. Waiting for the food always seems a bit long.
Food is wonderful; service ezcellent.
The noise level was unacceptable and that should be corrected. Add some overhead accoustical treatment to the room.
Nice remodel, brighter atmosphere. Great food and service!
Not enough flavor on the quinoa chicken salad. Other than that food was great. Especially the Ahi salad.
Great good great service
We love the food and the service. Cierra is our favorite waitress although we have always had great service from all the wait staff.
Delicious food, unique & favorites available on menu. Great date restaurant! Service is also excellent, a hidden gem!
Love this place! Everyone very attentive without being annoying. Great for a fancy well presented dinner or a nice happy hour snack.

Couldn't get eggs poached. Never offered more hot water for tea. Food was cold.
The Food Was EXCELLENT. The Service Was Excellent. The prices were reasonable for the food we received. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!
Restaurant was really nice. Great service! Food was amazing! Be sure to try the s'mores dessert!!!
Wonderful date place, candlelight, romantic atmosphere and absolutely fantastic 5 star food!
Our waitress was excellent
The ambience, menu selection, presentation, excellence of taste, all lead to truly fine dining.
Everything about the dining experience at the HG Bistro is on the plus side. Ambiance, menu choices, service, and presentation. It all adds up to excellence
Service was great! Food was exceptional! Best appetizer menu in Puyallup! Literally the best ahi I have ever eaten.
We went for our two favorite dishes, smoked sage pasta and seared scallops. They are both off the menu. We liked what we had but missed our old favorites.
We were in no hurry but it seemed like it took quite a while for our main course to come that might have been a problem for someone else
The food was great, but I thought it took too long to get our food. We had lunch and dessert and were there almost an hour and half. The waitress was very attentive. So I think it was the kitchen being so slow.
Waitress was curt and less than knowledgeable about the wine. Obviously steering us towards the more expensive offerings. Our usual waiter is awesome.
The interior could use some updating.
A great experience with the exception of the noise level that made it difficult to hear what others were saying.
HG Bistro never disappoints. Delicious food & excellent service. Great atmosphere; more of a date place, not kid place in my opinion. BUT, they do welcome kids in the restaurant; no kids menu. Happy hour menu in bar is a great deal. Kids can't be in the bar. I highly recommend trying the crab rolls & flaming s'mores desert!
happy hour prices were only good for the bar area and we were in the dinning area.Food was excellent, skip the drinks and order wine.
This is a great date place complete with candlelight. The food is unique & delicious. The service has always been outstanding.
Food was out of this world! Clean restaraunt, service outstanding, just great all around!
Creative menu, excellent service, great food
The food and service were excellent
The appetizers were good, but the main dishes were sincerely average, the waiter seemed to forget about us, and my cocktail order was forgotten.
The food was great and the service was excellent!
my dinner was very dry and to spicy but took care of it and I got a very delicious steak and they gave us a 25.00 gift card and free desert
The food is amazing everytime we go!
Love this restaurant! Amazing food and service!
The service was ok however the food took a while before we received it. Portions have been minimized and an entree doesn't fill you. Mashed potatoes were watery and pasta sauce smelled bad.
The food was ok. The croutons on salad were stale. The atmosphere left a bit to be desired. We don't like the idea of alla carte menus.Adds up quickly.
Food very good - service excellent - always a pleasure going to this restaurant - however, it can be very noisy.
They would not take out certificate for Lunch on Saturday .
We have been eating at HG for many years and continue to enjoy the food, wait staff & atmosphere.
A great escape from humble little puyallup! From the moment you cross the threshold you're in a mini Tuscany. The mood and atmosphere are great and the food-even better! Pleasant, knowledgable waitstaff to match a sizable wine list.
Very good food.
The food was delicious and the service excellent. The only glitch was our appetizer never arrived. The waiter offered to buy us dessert to make up for this and indeed did not add the dessert in with the bill, but we left enough to cover that, the bill and the tip also.
The food at this restaurant is 5 stars! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, and the service is great. This is one of our favorite date places.
Wait staff and service was excellent. Gave excellent information on the menu items - including suggesting a lower priced item when asked for best options....We will return to HG Bistro!!
Would go again.
awesome experience
It was my wife's birthday. It was a very enjoyable experience. Great service, great food. We will be back!
Missing the scallops from the menu! Overall great service and food. Will keep going back!
Wonderful service and enjoyed the food!
We LOVE this place!
My favorite restaurant!
This is one of the best local restaurants for Puyallup/Sumner area! Fine dining close to home.
It was a dinner rush on a Sunday evening, so I had taken into account their business at the time. They were overwhelmed and understaffed, but that didn't stop them: The host actually pitched in to take my table's order and apologized for being limited on serving staff.The food was actually delivered in a very timely manner (the poor chef must have been pulling his hair out!) and very nicely prepared!Great ambiance, lighting, smells... we will definitely return!
We have enjoyed HG since it was Hungry Goose, except now it is much more enjoyable with the ambiance and superb menu. We especially love our waitress who has been our server each time we have been in and she is absolutely fantastic, always remembers us and treats us like a King and Queen, checks on us throughout our stay, but does not always stay in our face. The food is always excellent and we love the wine choices.
It was a fantastic restaurant, the food was amazing and so was the service. I would most deffinately eat there again.
The food is fabulous. The environment cozy and the service fantastic.
we entered and it was very noisy, but when we went in to the dining room, it was quiet and intimate. Server was bright and pleasant. Food was excellent except for the asparagus - too old & tough. Also, would love to see more gluten free items offered.
We love happy hour at HG but will not eat dinner there again.The meat portions were very small (4oz?) for the price of the mean and the veggies were miniscule. 2 tiny stips of pepper on my meal and 2 thin slices of zuchinni on my husbands. Come on, include a real portion of veggies on the plate or don't put on the menu that they will be there.I had to stop at McDonalds on the way home because my husband was still hungry.
Overall fantastic night, only thing I would say was not good was the fake whipped cream on the dessert. For a high end bistro real cream is a must, not the non-dairy in the bag. Even ready whip would be better. Other than that great night!!!
Gene is an excellent server. We also like Jenna but did not see her Sunday night. Hope she is still there.
Our food was excellent. I would not go there if I was in a hurry as the preparation took a while. But it was worth the wait.
The quality, variety, presentation and preparation of the food was outstanding for our community. the menu is diverse. The service was not very attentive, but was by-in-large effective. Service did not have the "WOW" factor that the meal did.
setting and server were great. had a good selection of food.
food was just great, will visit again!
The food was not as good this visit as on a previous visit. The zuccini served with my meal was not cooked. Another memeber of our party had her meal come out much earlier than the rest of us. The staff was friendly and the other meal items were tasty.
Everything was delightful, we will be back, thank you.
Our server was wonderful!! He was right on top of everything! We will be going back again! Thank you!!
The food was great.
We've always enjoyed our visits to HG and have shared our experience with many friends.
We LOVE HG Bistro!!!! The service, ambiance, and food are all worth every penny and surely on point every time! Thank you, HG Bistro!
The only thing we were dissapointed in is that one of the specials were not available
was sad you had run out of the ono fish for fish & chip special, 3 of us had ordered it before we found out it was sold out.
ok so this really is 1 of my favs but this trip was'nt the staff ignored us and then was constantly back peddling to try to make up got there at 15 min till din rm opening and told host? that we'd wait for him in the bar he never came and we saw him seating two other tables we asked the bar help to check what happened so they said it would be a little while longer finally we were seated and then just left there till again we said we had a VERY early morning ! and would some one take our order there were many more screw ups seemed no one was overseeing anything.. as i said they kept making up for each mess but we were looking for a good meal and some pampering and down time have always loved this place on every level but food was inconsistantly great and awful this time will def go back and see if this was just one bad night thanks
Fabulous food in a very nice setting. Great server. A jewel. Great find.
Pretty slow service. It was a no-rush atmosphere...but it felt SLOW.
Beautiful restaurant, great server, and amazing food! We couldn't stop talking about how good the dungeoness mac and cheese was!
We love HG and come there often. Restaurants.com was an added bonus. Our only complaints are the hostess (older lady) and the service is alittle slow. We keep comming back so no big deal. They have an excellent Happy Hour.
Such a great find. The location makes people drive by though - next to a bowling alley! As soon as you walk in the doors, you forget all about that though. Fabulous experience.
What and unexpected little suprise in Puyallup! Very comfortable resteraunt with a nice atmosphere inside and friendly staff. Once you get past it's location and get inside, you're in for a treat of fine dinning like you would in a larger city. And the food ... well like I said, unexpected suprised, it was very good and we will definately be going back...with or without a discount!
We love HG Bistro. The food is excellant and so are all of thier staff. We have never had a bad experience there in all the years we have gone there.
We posted on Facebook how great the food and service was and two people that commented asked if Gene was our server, and he was! Can't wait to go back : )
HG Bistro was the best meal we've had in many years and was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary together!
