    When we made this reservation on OpenTable, it came up as a brunch reservation. We saw a menu that was not breakfast, rather brunch or breakfast and lunch. However, when we got there only "breakfast" was available with a small handful of things on the menu. There were only two servers working for the entire inside and outside. They were doing absolutely everything as best they could, but it was ridiculous how long it took just to get a cup of coffee let alone place an order and then get food. Management needs to help them out. Too bad because it is such a beautiful little spot. I hope that either open table or the people who manage this space will figure this thing out because it was definitely not a BRUNCH as we were expecting prior to our daughter's graduation ceremony on a Saturday.

    We were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to stay on property so chose The Bistro. From start to finish, everything about our experience was absolutely incredible. The service was warm and attentive, the ambiance was just right, and every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. We had the seabass and beet salad, both of which were perfectly executed. The chef and team ensure you have a wonderful experience with delicious food and impeccable service. Whether a special occasion or a just looking for a great meal, go to The Bistro, you won't be disappointed.
