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.

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.

Snooty hostess with an attitude...beyond rude! Had reservations for brunch for our friends birthday. Asked to be seated in cozy bar area...hostess said they hadn't served brunch there for last 4 years, though we had been seated there twice in the last year. Oh well, we waited along with six other parties, two left after a while. After we were seated our poor waiter said we had to get the order in immediately as the kitchen closed at 10:30...wow, we had a 10:00 and barely got our order in. He was the only waiter for the entire dining room and seemed totally frazzled so can't fault his bad attitude. Weird to offer brunch on a weekend and have it end at 10:30. Not good. Food was OK but not hot. Really it is obvious that the restaurant only caters to hotel guests who don't know there are so many wonderful options nearby. We will not return after having this experience.

We enjoyed our late lunch leading up to the 2024 Pliny the Younger at the Park tasting. Shared the deviled eggs, I had the crabcakes & my dining mate had the grilled cheese & tomato soup. We enjoyed everything & was amazed how Krissia not only took care of us but pretty much the entire diningroom...bar included. Had been a while since we dined here so will be back.

This was my first time having breakfast at this beautiful Bistro. The staff was courteous and always checking on our table for anything we may need or want. The food was delicious and the ambiance of the Bistro was lovely. We will definitely be going there again.
Went to dinner there in Valentine's Day when I arrived I was told that I had no reservations after receiving confirmation. Waited 20 mins for a table after being seated we got water n then they left us for another 20 mins. Came and got the drink order left us another 20 mins. Out of a four course menu we only received 2 items salads an soup. The portions were so small it felt like we weren't even eating anything. It was hard finding our waiters and management finally came over at around 930pm to apologize about the wait for the food and we never found out what happened. I was given 3  complementary drinks but nothing to eat while waiting, and the drinks were given to us so slowly we stopped wanting them. It's now 945pm with no food, we waited until 10pm without receiving any updates or the food is self and we got seated at 830pm. Told the manager we needed to leave and he took care of our meal and right when we said that our food was ready after all of that we almost didn't want it but we took it anyway. Overall won't be come back EVER!!!

Valentines Day dinner. You want to make it special, by going to a special place. We'll, DON'T go here! The service was horrible. It was a 5 course prix fixe menu. We waited 45 minutes between courses. Complaining only got an extra glass of wine. Either they weren't ready for a crowd or they don't mind ruining a special night. The food was also underwhelming.

We went to The Park Bistro for Valentine's Day Dinner. The server was friendly enough and apologetic about the long waits for our Prix Fixe meal. Needless to say, I don't think we'll be back for dinner. By the way, this place says that plant based options are available but, the kitchen didn't have much to offer much in dishes.

I booked a reservation to celebrate my mom's birthday and we had a wonderful experience. Our server Terrence was beyond fantastic. He did everything possible to make my mom feel special on her day and she had the best time. The food was delicious and the overall service impeccable. We will definitely come back anytime we want to celebrate a special occasion.
From the time we sat at the bar to have cocktails before dinner, we experienced outstanding service, especially since one of the patrons was nice enough to give us her seat at the bar. Then we were escorted to the dining room, and I was a bit uncomfortable in the table because I'm short and the waitress suggested we move to a booth it was just wonderful. the food was outstanding best pork chops I ever had great evening. My advice is to go & enjoy for yourself.

The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Especially so was our waited, Terence. He was attentive without hovering. It wsas my first time at The Bistro which is now my favore local resatrant.
We are regular diners at the Bistro and were disappointed with the slow service. The food was excellent but the menu has not changed in years. Unfortunately they've declined over time. It's time for us to move on and try other great restaurants in Lafayette.

One of the worst Caesar salads I've ever had. No anchovy taste at all. Ton of lettuce but very bland dressing. Very little cheese. Two of us had it and finally sent it back after trying to doctor it with lemon and pepper Good Rueben French onion soup not as good as I remembered. Manager was extremely welcoming and nice Another friend said Jacks had a much better clubhouse sandwich than the one here. Nice booth. Everyone was really nice and accommodating
We were very happy and surprised of this restaurant being in a hotel. The staff was just absolutely friendly especially Kim our server. My husband‘s martini drink had too much vermouth and she was kind enough to bring over some additional vodka. The short rib, dinner and halibut were delicious. Don't be fooled that this restaurant is located in a hotel. It is very very nice. You will be pleasantly surprised.
