Might be the worst customer service I've ever experienced.There was approximately 8 people on deck, which probably seats 30 people. Despite this fact, the two waitresses made us wait 20 minutes to get seated. During that 20 minutes, they wouldn't talk to us, didn't offer us a drink (despite waiting at the bar). And everyone that came behind was also asked to wait 20 or more minutes before being seated, even though there were obviously open tables all over the place. Once seated their attitude completely changed acting like we were their best friends. The appetizer we had was actually pretty good. I'm not sure how they manage to stay in business when they can only serve 3 to 5 tables at a time.

Parking: Lots of parking in front of the building.

Fried Pickles were very well done, crab cakes, burger, and fish & chips were pretty good but a tad bland. Friendly staff and some amazing seating on river

I went here with my family after a hike and we were all hungry. The portion sizes are very reasonable and the food was delicious, especially the burgers and calzone. They have fresh salad, nice staff and short wait times.

Fantastic bar and taproot in Bailey Colorado. Fantastic location. Table right beside a fast flowing creek. Great food. Had the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Wife had BBQ burger. Both were great. Excellent selection of beers. Super friendly waitstaff. Highly recommended

We were staying in Bailey over Labor Day weekend and decided to stop last minute on our way back to our AirBnB after a day of hiking and sight seeing. We weren’t looking for a full meal just an appetizer and my wife wanted a salad. We ordered the Maryland Crab Cakes and a side salad. I wanted a beer but couldn’t decide on one so one of the waitresses gave me a few samples to help me decide. We visited with the staff while we waited and all of the ladies were extremely friendly. When we got the food and took it to our cabin, it did not disappoint! The crab cakes were delicious and the salad was fresh and quite tasty with a lemon basil dressing that was very refreshing. Wish we were staying longer to stop back in again! We recommend it!!

Amazing!!!Absolutely delicious!Great variety of food and drink options that are well worth the priceI cannot recommend this restaurant enough! The ambiance near the river is GREAT, while their bugers (and salads) are equally as amazingStop by and support this local business

Looked like a cute place to eat. Stood at the host stand for 15 minutes. Had multiple staff walk right past us and say nothing. They were more concerned about their band than grieving service. I recommend going down the street to the rustic station restaurant very good food and excellent service! From the looks of other comments experienced the same treatment. Don’t eat here!

We were so excited to see this cute little bistro after driving through the winding mountains. This stop delayed our journey nearly two hours due to the slow service. The food was mediocre at best and the prices were extremely over inflated. The view was lovely and we took some great pictures but we left unsatisfied.

They refused to greet us, serve us and the bartender stated‘I’m only trying to do my job’ after I said, ‘good afternoon’ to her.Three different staff members walked past us and no greeting, no ‘I’ll be right with you’.Clearly this is a ‘whites only’ and I will be adding this to the doesn’t serve Native/Brown people book.I can’t speak for the food because they wouldn’t even greet us much less serve us.So instead we went to Rustic and had a great meal. Not sure what dark energy surrounds this bistro but clearly they’re not ok. Praying for them and they heal from whatever issues they have. To the bartender, I’ll pray for you sweetie, clearly your projection comes from a dark and sad/lonely place.

Great patio, relaxing river covered patio and friendly staff! Mussels were delicious except I recommend adding some crusty bread to dip in the delicious sauce! A couple more servers to help! Ours was a lovely young gal. Would come back.

We drive through Bailey often as it's between our house and our mountain cabin. Recently we stopped for a mid-afternoon meal with our 5 year old grandson. The micro-brew IPA was cold and tasty but the food was a nice surprise. I had the Bailey Meat Calzone. Lots of good meat stufffed into a very nice calzone and served with marinara sauce. Mmmm! Perfect for the carnivore crowd. My wife had the Philly--again the bread and meat was perfect together and for my picky wife they reduced the amount of onions just for her. The fries were included in the price and actually tasted like potatoes. Our grandson had the pepperoni pizza off the kids menu. It was excellent (i snuck a taste when he was distracted by the Platte River right adjacent to the patio). And the pizza was large enough for 2 kids. A special note for "Eadie"; she gave us a warm welcome as we entered and asked for our grandson's name. She was also our server and made us feel very welcome.

Place is dirty, staff is rude and lazy.How is the food? I dont know its bin an hour and a half and still have not received anything.There is 5 of us with simple orders, you would think after seeing the prices that it would match the service. Absolutely not.No refills, attitude from waitresses and the bathroom is disgusting. Go anywhere else!!!!

Stayed at the Air B&B they offerd. We had an awesome stay. My hubby is a disabled veteran with a service dog and they honored him so much. Room was so cute and cozy with a beautiful view and sounds of the river out the window. The bed was super comfortable and the little dinette kitchen was handy. We were within walking distance to our kids and grandchildrens house right up the road. We didnt eat at the Bistro but it sure smelled awesome especially the pizza. And a short walk to super cute little shops and Sassquach Museum. Highly recommend staying here if in the area.

I was traveling through the area again and stopped in for dinner. I got the spinach & artichoke dip again - still delicious! This time I decided to try the Spicy Polish sausage - it was on a roll with grilled peppers & onions and with a red pepper sauce. It came with fries and salad. I like their homemade bleu cheese dressing for the salad. The fries are a type/shape I've not seen elsewhere but I really like them. It was a good meal. The 2nd time I ate there recently I tried their crabcakes as my app - golden brown with a nice remoulade. My entree was their Sheppards Pie. The ground meat was the mixture used for their wild game meatloaf - elk, venison & wild boar. This combined with good mashed potatoes, glazed carrots & roasted corn and topped with a red wine demi glace made it the best Shepards pie I've ever had! I can't wait to keep trying the other things on their menu.
