    The food was good and I’m glad the servers weren’t pushing us out of the place. It is pretty pricey but everything was quality except the takeaway boxes. Please get away from using plastic.

    We always know we can get a good brunch at the Bistro. The food is always good. and freshly prepared. That said, they fell short this time with service. We had a 1pm reservation for Easter brunch with a fixed menu selection. We arrived on time and were seated promptly. After that, we waited close to an hour for drinks. We told a passing server we were still waiting for our drinks and it had been 45 minutes. She said she would check on it. Then as she passed 10 minutes later, we told her again that we still didn't have drinks. At this point, other tables were complaining about slow service as well. Patrons at a nearby table were cleaning up their own dishes and moving them to another table. If only they had taken the time to communicate to us they were running behind, had too few servers, or really anything. The owner came out to talk to one table who had not received their appetizer and did not say a word to any other tables. Clearly people were frustrated. Our entire brunch took over 2 1/2 hours. Had we known this in advance, we would have planned our day around that. Sadly we missed out meeting some friends because brunch took so long. The food was very good and generous portions.

    As always, the menu diversity, and the fact that nothing ever disappoints makes this a must-go. Our compliments to the chef!

    The cocktails are fantastic! I've tried a handful of them and all were spot on! The portions are more than enough, and the quality of food is amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone who asks.

    Fixed menu price $95\person but they ran out of all food except a few choices left to choose. We had to wait forever to check in, getting the orders and forever for the food to come out, plus the food was cold by the time it got to the table. Worst Valentine's dinner experience ever!

    Poor experience overall. Stagg complaining about being busy, very loudly multiple times. No water given after asked 4 times, food was warm at best, rice was crunchy, dessert was just awful...not edible more than just tasting. Very disappointing
