We had brunch and it was DELICIOUS! It's a lovely place with two separate areas, the bar and the dining room. We were the only people there so we sat in the bar. Our server, Liv, was wonderful! The food is amazing and they are very generous! We are looking forward to going back when the weather is warm and we can sit on the deck and watch the golfers!

We had a lovely meal with a wonderful view at the Bistro at Shuksan. We had the jambalaya and the salmon pasta dinners. The salmon was cooked to perfection with the pasta that had a very flavorful sauce. The jambalaya was perfect with seafood and seasoned very well. It was a warm day and we ate on the terrace. You could see the mountain, trees and golf course. It was a perfect evening.

I am DUMBFOUNDED at the hype for this place. The food was awful, ambience was non-existent, service was slow even with an empty restaurant–did y'all go to the same restaurant I did? Between the soggy food, ceiling tiles and wide open kitchen doors where I watched kitchen staff play catch with some sort of kitchen item while we waited an eternity for $100 worth of overpriced mush–the other reviews simply can't be serious.
