    Excellent freshly prepared food. I had day’s special, scallops piccata, which was cooked just right and served beautifully. Nice selection of local wines on offer. Definitely a needed addition to the local restaurant scene. And they’re open 7 days a week which suits a mid week traveler like me!

    Food and service were excellent. We were able to eat on the outside deck with our dog and a great view of the lake. Highly recommend 3812 Bistro!
