    It is a shame that some businesses don't value single diners, which was evident at Bistro. I was seated at a table next to the bussing area where I was bumped into numerous times and the noise ruined the idea of having a nice dinner.

    Probably the best high end casino restaurant in the Coachella Valley. The menu was extensive and every item we ordered was delicious. The menu had a number of items we haven't seen at other casino restaurants, and was also less expensive than its competitors. Service was attentive and friendly.

    My family & I totally enjoy dining at the Bistro, we’ve made it our “Special Occasions Place”, we brought two of our friends on Saturday, for them to enjoy what we’ve been boasting about, unfortunately it was not without incident, all ended up good, solely because of our waiter, Justin. He saved the day. The food & service continued to be amazing.

    We are repeat customers of The Bistro. Whenever we have friends or family in town it is our go-to restaurant and it never disappoints. On this visit we were celebrating my birthday and we appreciated the complimentary dessert! Service was excellent provided by Daniel. My husband had the special, veal scallopeni and I enjoyed my favorite salmon. We highly recommend The Bistro for the best in food and service.

    The food was cook well except for the rainbow roll my wife ordered she said the white fish (hamachi) was mussy to the taste probably due to the age of the fillet cut off of but normally we enjoy the food

    Service was great. Had a nice table along the windows. They made my drink perfect… Tito’s cosmo, light on cranberry- super light pink no lime juice(they always pour too much and then makes it tart) and we split the bone in pork chop - more than enough for 2 people. And the bacon au gratin potatoes- yummm. The entire meal was good. Make a reservation as soon as possible when you get concert tickets. Makes it a much nicer experience. So many people did a walk-in and had to wait or get turned away.

    My partner, Brandon and I had the best time with The Bistro. The service was impeccable! Maria, our server was so welcoming and the whole staff check in on us because it was our anniversary. Xiomara, Zoe, Rosie and everyone else were so welcoming. The food was delicious, the rare steak my partner had and the Mizo glazed sea bass I ordered melted in my mouth. Truly recommending The Bistro at Fantasy Springs Resort. Gio

    The Experience was outstanding. We went to celebrate my wife’s birthday and everything went perfect. My wife had the short ribs and I had the 24 ounce ribeye. Both were spectacular. Not cheap, but a great value for the amount and quality of food. Service was impeccable, and everybody was super friendly. I would highly recommend!

    I will unfortunately never return to this establishment and based upon my experience I would suggest it gets boycotted. The food was slightly above average for taste/presentation, etc. It was a little on the pricier side when compared with value. That is OK, my wife and I enjoy going out on the town and eating at new places and this is often the case. My issue with this restaurant most likely stems from management driven policies in regard to the dress code. The dress code, as posted on their website states no hats and no tank tops. I usually wear a mix of business casual to formal wear, and I almost always wear a tweed or flat cap. I find it kind of difficult to see distaste in this type of cap, but hey, I can see some value in a dress code. To preface, I am a disabled combat veteran with facial and head scarring, so I wear a hat because I am sometimes insecure about it. As we walked into the restaurant, I observed two females wearing hats. I observed other females wearing daisy dukes so tight there was camel toe while also wearing tank tops. As I observed this, I thought to myself, great...I can wear my hat. Immediately the hostess told me I must remove my hat. I explained the situation with my scarring, and she said it didn't matter. I then pointed out the women wearing hats and half nakedly eating steak, to which she shrugged her shoulders at. After being seated, and quite honestly getting frustrated, I put my hat back on. I was then notified by the waiter than I needed to remove my hat. I again explained my position on the matter (scarring, the women wearing hats, etc.) to which he stated, "it doesn't apply to women". Regardless, it was my anniversary, and I did not want to cause a scene disturbing the time I had with my wife. But you should know, this policy is being enforced in a sexist manner and after I explained my disability you basically told me "too bad". If I could swear here, I would. I'll settle for "F-off!!"

    When we were seated, we didn't see a server for 15 mins. Usually when you get water they bring you the bread as well. It wasn't brought up until we asked for it. The wedge salad was overdone on the topings. Very disappointed of the service. A lot of new faces. We have celebrated a lot of special occasions there before and never been disappointed like this time. The service was less than it is expected of place like this.

    Best service and food n the Cochella Valley. The menu is diverse and lots of seafood and sushi options with fresh fish flown in from Hawaii and other areas. Miguel, our server was phenomenal. His engaging smile and personality to his wine recommendations and his attention to every detail, we couldn't have been happier. We felt pampered. I felt like I was on a cruise ship. There was one glitch with over-cooked lobster bit he gladly fixed it-and two managers came to make sure all was well. The menu was also a good value, especially compared to so many over priced "meh," meals we have had elsewhere. Bravo. We will be back. Thank you.

    I have a wheel chair, the hostess that seated us Did Not pull the chair out . So I could sit at the table. My husband did that. The Gulf shrimp cocktail were small for the price on the You charge more for ice tea then coke? It was our 54 Anniversary, which I told the Maitred when I made the reservation and the hostess. I thought maybe there would be a complimentary- scoop of ice cream, cupcake piece of cake? Something. The table neat to us had a birthday and got a piece of cake. Just saying it would have been nice. This is our second time dinning, We will have to think about next time. Mr & Mrs Adair
