Editorial Review for Dwight's Bistro – by Michele McCole Moss
The Scene
The cozy dining room is adorned with charming accents, like fragmented wall tiles, fresh flowers on the tables and a cork collection from the restaurant's wine bottles. While you wait for one of only eight tables, sit at the bar, nibble on fresh-baked bread and watch chef-owner Dwight Delude whip up his rustic fare.
The Food
The menu changes daily according to Dwight's whims. Golden pan-fried crab cakes transport you to the Chesapeake Bay at first bite. Venison, duck or seafood is often an option, but the filet mignon with blue-cheese butter and balsamic reduction is a mainstay. Homemade ravioli come filled with pine nuts, mushrooms or asparagus, and are served as a side dish for the meatier entrees. Plates overflow with fresh-grilled corn or sweet potatoes, only adding to the generous portions.

My wife and my mother both agree that in another life I was a restaurant critic. I''ve been dining at Chef Delude's restaruants for almost 15 years. The menu is not overwhelming and the atmosphere makes you want to stay and talk among friends. After a few visits, you'll feel at home. The food is consistently the best I've ever eaten. What makes Dwight's different from most restaurants is that the owner is the Chef and the Chef is always there making your meal. It's not like most big name restaurants now a days where Jose finishes up cutting lawns and then works the night shift on the grill. Dwight puts 100% into every meal - nothing less. I'm not a realtive or an employee, I'm just an absolute support er of Dwights Bistro. If you've got a discriminating pallet, a few bucks to spend and a great personality, then you're the kind of person I'd enjoy eating a meal next to at Dwights. After being able to dine there a few times a week, I moved on and now only get a chance to dine there every few years, but I'm never disappointed. You won't be either. Bon apetitie!
Pros: Phenominal food, outstanding service and great music.
Cons: You'll think you overdressed when you see where it is.

this place was recommended by a friend...she said it was fantastic. When we drove up...we were almost afraid to go in. The inside was "okay" but nothing fancy...cute because of all the quaintness..but certainly not an upscale restaurant. The food was decent ...but nothing I would go back for and the prices were way too high. I would never go again. Not worth it at all.
Pros: none really
Cons: too expensive for what you get...no atmosphere and mediocre food
