The food order was spot on, delicious and our sever was very courteous and kind. I've been there when the orders came out wrong, or late, missing items, but this time they got things right.

I got the salmon Benedict and it was just okay. The service here was excellent. There is a tasty mocktail on the menu and the server made it easy for my two friends and I to pay separately. I will be back for the ambiance and service. I just plan to try a different food item.

The Thanksgiving buffet was excellent. Not many restaurants were open on Thanksgiving, so Corner Bistro was quite popular and crowded. As a result, there was quite a line at the buffet. The food choices were ample, plus butternut squash soup and dessert for $49. We're glad we opted not to cook!

Our first time even though they’ve been open for a year and we’re locals. Went for Thanksgiving buffet. Reservations were actually too early for the buffet, but the hosts were so nice they sat us and gave us brunch drinks until the buffet was available. Such nice people working there. The Thanksgiving buffet was delicious!

Servers were great. Our food came late. We were charged a service charge of 3% which was explained that it was because of a credit card being used. I did not like that the total amount was configured and a tip was added with tax included. I do not want to pay a tip on the tax. Overall they have a limited menu but the food is good. My friend had the salmon and she loved it, I have the fettucine and we split a salad. We bought a bottle of wine which was less than the price of 2 glasses and 50% off on Wednesday. We each paid $55.00 for good tax and tip. They sat a large loud group next to us after we were seated which was initially annoying. Staff was very nice, attentive more so toward the end. Short staffed? I would go back again.
