Not bad, Bistro 101, not bad at all... My family of 3 decided to dine at Bistro 101 for lunch before heading back home from our little staycation here at Graton. Since we already had our fill of steaks, seafood, and Asian cuisine, I decided my tastebuds needed something a little more simplistic and normal to eat. That is what you will find at Bistro 101-American comfort foods at it's finest. All day breakfast is served if you're into that kinda thing. Lunch consisted of: *COMPLIMENTARY HOUSE-MADE CHIPS AND DIP *FIVE-ACRE CRUDITE: fresh veggies, hummus, and rye breadcrumbs [which i did not receive]. *CALIFORNIA CLASSIC- SINGLE w/ FRIES: cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, American cheese, secret sauce, on a brioche bun. *BOHEMIAN BOWL: turmeric quinoa, roasted sweeet potato, avo, spinach, pickled onions, chick peas, cabbage, cucumber, cashews, tahini dressing *BUILD YOUR OWN OMELET: choice of 3 ingredients + your choice of toast. We went with mozzarella, peppers, onions, and ham with sourdough bread. *STEAK + FRIES [for takeout]- requested for medium rare. fries couldn't be substituted for anything else unfortunately. House-made chips and dip is addictively good. My daughter literally ate up the dip. The cruite plate was absolutely stunning- beautiful on the eyes and great going down to the tummy. My only complaints with this was the pre-cut, thinly sliced cucumbers which took away from the crunch and the hummus being more on the sweeter side. The rest of the plate was full of fresh, vibrant veggies that I really enjoyed. The california classic was great- just your traditional burger and fries. The bun was toasted well yet still had the soft brioche aspect you come to expect. The bohemian bowl was a bad choice on my end. Just like the hummus being a bit too sweet for my tastebuds, so was the tahini dressing. I needed a bit more citrus to cut into that rich, sweetness. The omelet was great and my little monster got kicks out of the stingy cheese pulls that never seemed to stop. I'd come back specifically for the five-acre crudite and i'll be giving the Cobble Gobble a try as well. 4/5 stars, food is good and although the service is slow, the staff does a good enough job. read more

I have a new favorite salad: MIZUNA STEAK SALAD. A soy-marinated flat iron steak, napa cabbage, mixed greens, watermelon radishes, edamame, pickled cucumbers, ginger, carrot miso dressing. Highly recommend. I got it as Room Service so I can't comment on ambiance. Room Service was expedicious. read more

Man the chips and dip they serve here are so good. We ended up ordering an extra bowl of it because we devoured it! The steak and fries fell short of my expectations and ended up liking my double burger with an egg on it. Our server took our order and ended up having to serve the bar and make drinks so we were kid of left on our own. Had to hunt someone down to get some to go boxes. With all the places to eat at Graton, probably won't be back to this one. read more

I was playing the slots at Graton and was craving a bagel, so I stopped in for breakfast and ordered the Smoked Salmon Bagel ($18). It came on a toasted everything bagel with whipped cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomatoes, capers, and red onions. Both sides were generously loaded with toppings, so every bite had a good balance of flavors. It was comparable to other smoked salmon bagels I've had, but the generous amount of toppings stood out. It definitely satisfied my craving. I also loved the ambiance. The bar and TVs gave the place a lively feel, and the decor was nice too. My server was cheerful and friendly. She joked about my oversized Trader Joe's shopping bag and shared that her sister had "stolen" both of hers. It was a funny conversation that added a personal touch to the experience. read more

This is another option to eat at beside the food court. I ordered the CALIFORNIA CLASSIC SINGLE with Bacon. The taste was basic (the burger was seasoned and the meat wasn't overcooked). A secret sauce was supposed to be on it but honestly I didn't taste anything that stood out. I was thinking, "what could I add that could level this burger up?" Although lacking in taste, it was filling. Would I order it again? No, especially when it's $22. The KENNEBEC FRIES that were served with it were on point! I enjoyed these. * You are supposed to get COMPLIMENTARY KETTLE CHIPS AND ONION DIP. Remind your server! Don't pass on these because they were GOOD! * For a place to chill, get drinks, and/or appetizers, then this can be it. *Service is ok. read more

This is a cozy clean spot inside Graton casino. The staff was very friendly. The Greek salad was fresh, delicious and a large portion. My husband enjoyed the basic breakfast. The shrimp cocktail was weird and slimy. We couldn't eat it. The server refunded us which was very kind. Our one complaint was service was very slow considering the number of staff and how slow the restaurant was at the moment. read more

This was our first time here and it was my birthday. We were very satisfied with our food. The chicken wings were super good. They are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside without being too greasy. I especially liked the strawberry cocktail the best. It looked delicious and pretty when it first appeared. The chocolate peanut butter brownie is a must-have dessert. The chocolate peanut butter ice cream pairs with the chocolate brownie in a perfect match. Overall: Great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. We highly recommend this restaurant for its cocktails and desserts; they are absolutely not to be missed. I would like to especially thank the manager who worked at the restaurant on January 1st. Your understanding is a great help to us. You are outstanding and a valuable asset to the team and the company. You made my birthday truly special and it was an absolutely memorable day. One negative point is that our table was a little bit small so the food and drinks were all packed together. Also, the lighting was not very bright so my pictures are not very pretty. read more

Wow!! I've been here once or twice in the past, but this was my first time back in the area this year. We were blown away by the exceptional service from our waitress, Gaby! She literally made us feel like guests in her home. Not to mention, the classic double burger was incredible! I had a somewhat complicated order, but it came out exactly how I wanted it -- and absolutely delicious. This place has great 80s rock music, super nice and attentive staff, amazing food, all-day breakfast, and tons of other delicious options to choose from. Makes the decision hard lol. Highly recommend coming here, and I can't wait until we're back again next time!! read more

Bistro 101 - Classic double burger with cheddar, no onions or bun, add pickles lol and side of bacon with an omelette - American Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

Gave this another try and once again the food was simply not good at all. I ordered the shrimp n grits and it came out looking as though I was served a bowl of soup. The really really undercooked grits were swimming in what I guess was a complete bowlful of a watery white cheddar liquid. Some of the shrimp appear to have been grilled, others not, and there was a darker sauce in the middle over some of the shrimp. The addition of andouille were maybe 10 mini-bite-sized pieces to equal probably 1/4th of a sausage. The white cheddar liquid was served boiling hot, but this was just a huge miss, not good at all and definitely not shrimp n grits read more

Hate to review based on one off experience but this has to be the worst dining experience ever. Entered at about 11:30 on Presidents Day. Place was half full. Booths taken, just tables left. Fine. Not picky there. Ordered about 10 min later. Nothing complicated. But it took over 30 minutes. And no food came out of the kitchen for at least 15. Never seen a half full restaurant where not a single person had food. Managers excuse was that it was busy. If you can't handle a restaurant that's half full then you can't handle a restaurant that's full. Clam chowder + Caesar salad with shrimp. Don't do this. The croutons on the Caesar salad I could crush in my fingers. The $12! Shrimp were five of those 21-30 count tiny ones. For $12!. $12! Build your own omelette: egg was just under cooked. Why are we charging $19 and serving two frozen hash brown patties?! Don't mind the hash brown patties but don't charge $19 and slap frozen food on a plate plus a squeez-it jam. Okay but it gets worse! Last order was a standard all American breakfast. Sunny side up, toast, aforementioned frozen hash brown patties and sausage. Sausage was raw. Like. Raw raw. It looked like they freaked out and tried to deep fry frozen sausage. So second time had to deal with manager. Offered to comp the breakfast and remake the sausage. How long would that take? Didn't want to take a chance. Server was fine and apologetic. Manager could care less. Something was going wrong in that kitchen, clearly. Customer service was appalling. Don't charge me $20 for breakfast, make me wait 30 min and serve me raw pork. read more

Visited the Graton with a few friends who were new to town. Prior to playing the slot machines, we decided to try the bistro to grab a quick bite. To my surprise, it wasn't as crowded as I thought. We had a large group and we got seated pretty quickly. Our server was not as attentive as I hoped, he was very slow and would often forget small things such as sauce or chips. We decided to try the smash burger and the hot chicken sandwich in which both were not memorable. I prefer the truffle fries. I also got to try the banana parfait which was amazing. Overall, it is a good place to grab a quick bite but don't expect anything amazing. read more

I just wanted to give a shout out to one of my favorite waitresses Dina who works at the bistro. She's very professional at her job. Yet at the same time makes you feel really comfortable like you're almost having dinner at her house. She has an amazing sense of humor. Now let's get onto the food. The chips they offer with the dip. Amazing. Their wings are second to none. But I wish they would bring back the Sriracha Parmesan. I will never understand why they took them off the menu. But I'm sure they had the reasons. Their lettuce wrapped protein burger is out of this world. I am looking so forward to going back. read more

Favorite bartender of the week goes to Amanda!! She was very helpful in explaining the different menu items and letting us know what people love on the menu. We went with the pot pie and fish and chips. Pot pie takes about 25 months to cook so if you're in a rush don't order it. Husband enjoyed it. Fish and chips were just ok. I wouldn't order them again. Prices are high for portions but you are paying casino wages. Overall enjoyable lunch. If you're sitting at the bar u get a free appetizer of chips and dip. It was delicious! read more

We went there today with family for an early dinner. We had fish and chips, steak salads, and a salmon bowl, and a decadent chocolate chip cookie skillet dessert. All were delicious! Omari, our server, was sweet, patient, and very accommodating. Also quirky and fun! We will definitely return the next time we're here visiting family. read more

Ate here once before, not very tasty. But we would give it one more try today and it was the worst experience ever. The waiter passed us by five times before he took our order, acknowledge us, took way too long to bring us another bag of chips or take our order we ordered chili and spinach, artichoke dip. A chili was good. We got halfway through it and saw the artichoke dip had a bug crawling in it. Call the waiter and bus boy over. The bus boy was great. The waiter tried to shove it under the carpet. I told him I'm not paying for the appetizer they build us $9 for the chili. I was shocked. It should've been free with a $25 gift card for next time even though there would never be a next time I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth. I left very disgusted. I couldn't wait to eat a chocolate mint to forget about this experience. read more

We tried the Bistro at the Casino and it was pretty good. The wait staff were all very responsive. We were seated quickly and our orders taken after a few minutes. We had the poke stack with Seasame chips, wings with BBQ sauce, wedge salad, double BBQ Smash burger, flank steak salad and a Blackberry Moscow Mule The appetizers came pretty quickly, which was great because we were hungry. The poke stack had an avocado layer and chopped cucumber and there were plenty of chips. They had some homemade pickles on the side, too. We loved the wings which had a light breading and crispy fried and tossed in sauce. My husband had the wedge salad, which had thick sliced bacon crisped up and on the wedge. He loved it. The smash burger was giant and it was delicious. The meat was really good. My salad was good, but the meat was a bit over cooked. It was still tender, but turned into saw dust at the end of the bite. I could have sent it back, but didn't. I'm sure they wouldn't have had a problem redoing it. The cocktail was fun. You could really taste the fresh blackberries. It was good for a casual dinner. read more

I ordered the Cobble Gobble turkey salad (similar to a Cobb salad). It had good points - the bleu cheese dressing was good, the candied pecans, the lettuce, cranberries and blue cheese crumbles. HUGE chunks of celery I removed. Biggest downfall was they cheaped out on the turkey which was nice bite sized chunks but was a cheap squishy multiple ingredient form of lunchmeat and was totally tasteless. My husband ordered the fish sandwich that had a piece of fish about 1 1/2" thick and a great sauce. So, thumbs up on the fish sandwich, thumbs DOWN on the salad. read more

Worst dining experience I've ever had. Was there for a total of 1.45 hours. My husband and I went after a comedy show and it wasnt even busy. For appetizer we ordered pretzel bites and a Caesar salad which we waited 30+ minutes for them to come out. After enjoying them we waited another 45 minutes for our entrees, I got the hot chicken sandwich which had one bite of because it was awful and my husband got probably the worst steak and fries I've ever had from a restaurant (especially for close to $50). It wasn't hot and tasted like straight microwaved hamburger and the fries were soggy. We only saw our waitress 3 times total. Once to order, once to ask for the check, where she just picked up a plate full of fries without even asking if we were done, and again to drop the check off. She never checked if we needed anything while waiting or even apologize for the wait. The manager avoided saying anything to us when we left. The only employee who treated us well was a water/buss boy/food runner. Never coming back and advise everyone to stay away. We left very frustrated with the waste of time and money when we could have gotten in n out for 1/6 of the price and been way happier. read more

An unexpectedly good brunch and lunch place inside Graton Resort. The smoked salmon bagel was quite good.

Located inside Graton Casino, Bistro 101 offers your classic American food - salads, soups, sandwiches/burgers, and all-day breakfast. I don't expect much from a casino restaurant, but the food wasn't bad. Came in on a quiet weeknight and was seated immediately. We were given complimentary kettle chips with an onion dip w/ everything but bagel seasoning and it was good. You can really taste the onion flavor in the dip, which I liked. We also ended up using it to dip our fries. I got a classic smash burger cause can't go wrong with it. You have the option to choose a single or double patty, as well as add-ons. It was good and not overly salty like some I've had. I chose the single patty, but wish I got the double instead (cause they're so thin!). CK got the fish & chips and it was 2 huge battered pieces of fish w/ a side of slaw & fries. They gave us ketchup and tartar sauce, so you will need to ask for the malt vinegar. Fresh out of the fryer, but tasty and crunchy! read more

This is my first time coming here since my last review. I had an excellent experience. The wait staff was great; very attentive. My build your own omelette was delicious. I continue to love the thick sliced sourdough. Kind of strangely, they only offer oyster mushrooms, so for my build your own omelette, I skipped the mushrooms. Later in the day, I ordered the crispy chicken Cobb through room service in my room (Graton now offers dining room service!). It was excellent, just like last time. read more

Drove pretty far to go to dinner here for my husband's first Father's Day after spending all day in the ICU. We were rejected due to having an infant. When we were promptly informed that there was a sign outside if we wanted to read it, I decided to write this. The research we did online failed us, my mistake. Drop the attitude! No need to ask if I wanted to read the sign. Glad I spent over 100 hours coordinating the expansion construction in the last year to be so rudely greeted the first time I visited to see my hard work in person. Bad look. read more

Located inside Graton Casino Bistro 101 has a nicely sized menu with an assortment of fusion food. The have a ton of appetizers with a pretty good selection of entrees. Fried chicken chop salad was okay. It was a little bland for me and just not enough dressing. Fish and chips was bready but the fries were nice and crispy. There are quite a bit of tables and can accommodate a nice side party of 8 or more with no problem. Staff was friendly, but a little slow on getting you water and refills when needed. Bistro 101 is a nicer albeit more expensive place to eat compared to the food court that's just outside the casino area. read more

Looking for a big Christmas Day dinner? I found it at Bistro 101. Started with appetizer the always available but never disappoints spinach dip yummy. When my meal arrived I actually gasped the plate was huge with thick Ham slices that had been marinated in a honey glaze. The ham was so tantalizing it was mouth watering (no exaggeration here) served with roasted whole carrots. This meal was so filling I had to ask for take home. Once home I settled in with pj's on and you guessed it ..more HAM watching TV Christmas specials! Ahhh, what a wonderful life! read more

I visited Bistro 101 late at night after spending some time at Graton. As expected, the restaurant was fairly empty around midnight, so we were seated right away. The servers were prompt and took our order shortly after we sat down. We ordered The Mess fries and a 12-piece wings combo. The food was decent but not particularly memorable. The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant and relaxed, making it a good option if you're looking for a quick bite after gambling LOL read more

American Restaurant/Bar at the Graton Casino. We came here after a Concert on a Friday night and surprisingly the wait wasn't long. We sat at the bar because it was faster to get seated. My dad wanted a kahlua and cream and my mom wanted hot tea. We started with some happy hour clam chowder, they have a nice happy hour in the evenings and TVs showing the games! Service is great and quick, we also got the happy hour shrimp cocktail and my mom got the salmon and vegetables. There were plenty of options and service was quick. If you want to sit done, dine, and be served this is one of the spots for All American food at the Graton Casino. read more

What impressed me the most during my visit was the service provided by Davina. She hustles behind the bar, no waisted motion in performing her duties, making drinks, serving food, bussing the bar, providing refills, and presenting the check....all while being very pleasant, talkative and attentive! If every service based business had an employee like Davina, it would be fantastic! Thank you for the excellent service Davina!! read more

This is a new restaurant over at the Graton Casino, and it looked very promising from all the photos and what little bit was written so far. I got the mac & cheese with bacon, which was yummy, and a short rib sandwich, our dessert was Crème brûlée, it was very good! The service was excellent, and we were sat down quickly. We never had to look for our Server, so she was doing her job. The ambiance is modern American. All in all we had a great time. I will be back; I'm sure they'll be even better! After our dinner, we went to see Grand Funk Railroad and had an absolute blast. I think this restaurant is still very new. It needs to work on the recipes a little, but it's darn tasty, and I'm sure I'll like it even more next time. Cheers all, and SYOY August 14, 2024 read more

James the bartender and David really made my night after a long day of work. Very relaxed and patient that made me feel at ease. The overall appearance of the restaurant is modern and warm, but still has the typical feel of a bar/restaurant. Whoever made the NY steak that night was phenomenal. The perfect medium rare with barely any grey ring. So juicy and the compound butter added to the extra tenderness. 101 wings are delicious and they are thicccck. I got the classic Buffalo and I can't wait to try their other flavors. The chicken sandwich is one of my favorites when I order for lunch but having it fresh from the restaurant was just THAT much better. Love the aioli and slaw that goes with it. The slaw could use more flavor, but overall still a great sando. read more

They need a serious look at table placement. There are several tables that are basically in the dark. Watching people hold their menus out in the aisle to get some light or using their phones as flashlights. Definitely ask for a booth. Other than their lack of sensible space planning, great place to grab a bite to eat. If we can give 1/2 star ratings, they would get a 3.5. read more
