The Bistro at the Barge offers a mixed experience that leaves diners with varied opinions. While some praise the outstanding meal and service quality, others criticize the slow service, small portion sizes, and wait times. The atmosphere, food, and views receive high marks overall. The chef's skills are highlighted by some, while others express disappointment in unavailable menu items. Despite some negative aspects, the restaurant remains a favorite for many, drawing diners back with its excellent food and ambiance.

We had a wonderful evening. The food and service were excellent. The ribeye cap steaks were new to us and we'll definitely be back to repeat the experience!
