We found Bistro 71 on a road trip, while staying at a Hampton inn off of I81. I assumed we would be limited to chain restaurants, but stumbled on the restaurant in another Trip Advisor posting. Less than 10 minutes away, in a charming restored town center, Bistro 71 felt like a gift. We were treated like regulars, and despite... More

I'll admit, I had a preconceived opinion before our first visit to Bistro 71. I read a lot of poor reviews regarding the service. However, my wife and I enjoy fancy dining and we like to support local business so we decided to give it a try. We visited Bistro 71 last Saturday evening around 7:00pm. We were promptly seated...

The food and atmosphere are outstanding! The owners are very personable and friendly and make you feel right at home.

This place is a GEM! My wife & I were traveling south and stopped for the night in Chambersburg. We had seen a highway billboard and asked at the hotel (the clerk knew little of this restaurant) and headed over a short 5 min drive from I81.

Friends and I ate at Bistro 71 after getting a recommendation from Mallory at J&B Bridal. The management was welcoming and friendly. Getting to chat with the owners was a treat.

They are true american treasures in... More

This is a great place to enjoy a romantic dinner. We were visiting Chambersburg on a stop over stay at the Craig Victorian B&B and they suggested we go here for dinner. We had a wonderful dinner and wonderful service. Thank you!

Delicious tapas, especially the mac & cheese, tenderloin with poached egg, and pumpkin creme brulee. Tried to go again on Sunday to have other things, but it was closed.
