We had a delightful lunch at the Bistro. Service was efficient and professional and out table quiet and not on a main corridor. The food was excellent and arrived promptly. The Roasted Chicken Panzanella was exceptional and the Sweet Pea Salad very good. The added salmon was excellent- moist and perfectly cooked. An excellent lunch - we could not have had a more enjoyable experience.
