The Park Bistro & Bar

The filet mignon was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The broccolini was perfectly al dente and the potatoes were on point. It was a wonderful meal.

Avoid this place if you’re local. If you’re staying at the hotel - idk, maybe eat at the bar. Atrocious service. Tables were bussed by our server before our bill was taken. Two or three words was said by our server in each interaction. Unbelievable.

Was at a women in tech dinner and the food was fantastic.

2/14/24 We came here for the Valentine's Day dinner menu and we're sadly disappointed in the luke warm Sea Bass and lack of any Plant Based options after being assured several times beforehand that the chef would be accommodating as they have in the past. Service was friendly but, slow. The kitchen and staff must have been as overwhelmed as we were underwhelmed! 12/17/21 Our first time eating in the Bistro in almost 2 years. We were initially seated outside but, they only had one heater for the whole patio at the opposite end? It was a cold evening, hope that they plan to get more heaters for the patio? Good thing we moved inside since the food took a little over an hour to get the soup. The food was delicious and they were able to modify a few of the dishes for a Vegan diet! A manager (I assume) came by our table and apologized for the delay. Apparently the Kitchen was overwhelmed? There seemed to be quite a few holiday party groups there Friday night. Vegetarian options: Not many options for plant based diet items!

Been here twice. Both times my servers were friendly enough but gave poor service. Inattentive, leaving drink glasses empty (to the point you have to get up to flag them down), leaving finished plates sitting far too long on the table. Bartender switched TV channels without even basic bar etiquette (or situational awareness) to look or ask if anyone was watching what was on (I was). This guy fancies himself quite the tip-top bartender, but he has not even mastered basic service skills. While not exactly "fine dining," it is an upscale spot. Lunch for one $37. I would expect your servers to get training in food service basics. You don't leave drinks empty. You don't leave dirty dishes sitting for your guests to stare at, and you don't throw drinks down "wherever" on the table. Drinks go on right (not on left, not across the table), and water goes outside (other drinks to its left). All three gaffs made today. Your food is great, but that's not enough to keep guests returning. Service is equally important. Your hostess sat me at one of the worst seats in the house- a bar hightop, tons of loud foot traffic constantly going by (as people audibly were grousing about how sick they've been), was very cold sitting by the windows (when there was plenty of tables near your cozy fireplace). Just because it's a "table of one" doesn't mean seat them at worst spot. You can follow that policy, but then you get reviews like this. Oh, and the worst table I was led to...it had been set with silverware, but it hadn't even been wiped down after last guests... the sticky telltale drink rings were obviously visible. Come on, man. Do better. Was not even offered the option of seeing a dessert menu. Managers, your servers are losing sales for you, FYI. And as I left, your dippy, hostesses didn't even have the courtesy to say "thank you" or "see you next time." Another good reason not to bother coming back.

Love the bar dining. Fireplace, cozy and old-school.

The Park Bistro & Bar in Lafayette, California, offers a delightful culinary experience, especially with their dessert, the Chef's Chocolate Tart. This masterpiece combines a rich chocolate tart shell with a lusciously smooth chocolate mousse. The addition of a salted caramel ribbon creates a perfect balance of sweet and salty, enhancing the overall flavor profile. The raspberry coulis adds a tart contrast, cutting through the richness of the chocolate and caramel. The presentation is exquisite, with a delicate gold leaf topping that not only adds a touch of elegance but also a subtle texture. Every bite of this dessert is a journey through contrasting yet complementary flavors, making it a must-try for any chocolate aficionado.

Park Bistro is a very quaint and classy restaurant tucked inside an upscale hotel. The food is made with fresh seasonal ingredients, it was very good. The service was also good, but I found myself looking for the server before they were checking on us. They have a great bar too.

Great food, nice atmosphere and excellent service.
