First time sitting in the bar. A little noisy. Food was wonderful. The duck was perfect. The bartender made great drinks. Our waiter was very attentive and food came at a good pace. Prices are high but don’t mind paying for great food.

This is our 2nd year at the Bistro for New Year's brunch. We have decided to make a new tradition. The mimosas flow constantly, the food is memorable and definitely enough with the multiple courses. Service was exceptional. We especially love the desert table and crepes station. I was smarter this year and went easy on the courses so I would have room for desert. We plan our visit while the Jazz band in playing in the lobby so the ambiance is pleasing but not too loud. Excellent opportunity to enjoy your family and friends while dining. Valet Parking for $5 well worth it. We will be back next year!
