    We have been here a number of times and never had a bad meal or experience. Last night was no exception, went for my birthday dinner. I had salmon piccata which was awesome! We also had the Brussel sprout appetizer which was also wonderful. Our server was terrific! Perfect!

    Our first visit to the bistro was a resounding success, with the most delicious salads (funny how many people don't focus on these, but a beautifully made salad with a glorious dressing really starts things off the right way), made to perfection sirloin filets to rival any Michelin star restaurant and mouthwatering crème brûlée to round off a perfect evening with wonderful service. Thank you for making our first visit to the area a wonderfully memorable experience! We cannot wait to come back to visit again!

    Excellent freshly prepared food. I had day’s special, scallops piccata, which was cooked just right and served beautifully. Nice selection of local wines on offer. Definitely a needed addition to the local restaurant scene. And they’re open 7 days a week which suits a mid week traveler like me!

    Food and service were excellent. We were able to eat on the outside deck with our dog and a great view of the lake. Highly recommend 3812 Bistro!
