    The house salad for lunch was really small. I expected a larger amount. But the shrimp addition was nice.
    The Park Bistro & BarResponded 7 days ago

We welcome your feedback about portion size and hope you will visit again to try more of our lunch selections. Warm regards Jake Illish Assistant Director of Food and Beverage

    The food was delicious, but the wait staff was inattentive.
    The Park Bistro & BarResponded on 30 October 2026
    I appreciate hearing that you enjoyed the food, but it sounds like we fell short on the service aspect of your visit. We are sorry that the wait staff felt inattentive during your visit; that is not the experience we want to provide. This is always a coachable moment for us and our staff, and we always will have opportunities for improvement. We hope that you decide to return for some more delicious food and I can assure you that we will do better by you in the future. Warm regards, Jake Illish Assistant Director of Food and Beverage

    Not up to usual high quality. Noisy. Very slow service Waited forever for the check to arrive and then to be picked up. My guest had trouble finding an appropriate item because so much was not made fresh and could not be customized to avoid black pepper. She wii definitely not be returning.
    The Park Bistro & BarResponded on 27 October 2026
    Hi Karla, thank you for sharing this feedback. I’m sorry that the experience fell short of our usual standards, from the noise level and slow service to the delay in presenting and collecting the check. I also understand how frustrating it must have been for your guest to find suitable menu options that could safely accommodate her black pepper allergy. While guest safety must always come first, we should do a better job of communicating ingredients and offering alternatives. We take these concerns seriously and will use this as an opportunity to improve both our service and overall guest experience. Hospitably, Andre Hudson Director of Food & Beverage

    We were very disappointed with our experience on Saturday evening. It seemed like no one was assigned to serve our table and we waited 20+ min before anyone came to greet us and 30 min to even get water or an order started. No request for drinks made until 30 min and we were served our salad after 45 min along with our cocktails. The gentlemen who served us in the end was polite. We have going there for 30+ years with a hiatus since covid for about 4 years.
    The Park Bistro & BarResponded on 28 September 2026
    We are very sorry to hear about your visit Saturday evening. Long waits and slow service are frustrating, especially from someone who has supported us for 30+ years. We are glad the gentleman who ended up serving you was polite. This is definitely not the norm for us, and I apologize again for your experience. We would like to welcome you back on us if you are willing so that we can show you that we are worthy of many more years of visits. Warm regards, Jake Illish Assistant Director of Food and Beverage

    We had a great Saturday brunch! We started with a glass of house bubbly! Delish and a great value at $10/glass. A good selection of brunch and lunch dishes. We are definitely going back!!!
    The Park Bistro & BarResponded on 20 September 2026
    Thank you for the lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed our weekend brunch and the house bubbly — $10 a glass does feel like a treat. We look forward to welcoming you back for another visit soon. Warm regards Jake Illish Assistant Director of Food and Beverage
