    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.

    Greek salad and shrimp cocktail
    Molly R.

    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.

    Classic double burger with cheddar, no onions or bun, add pickles lol and side of bacon with an omelette
    Natalie L.

    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!!

    Complimentary Kettle Chips and Onion Dip. 10/10.

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp n grits
    Dan R.

    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

    Waited 30 minutes for raw sausages.

    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.

    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.

    Pot pie
    Karen F.

    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!

    Wedge salad was loaded.
    Theresa R.

    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.

    Seasonal Mushroom Omelette
    Wendy S.

    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.

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

    OK we are from out of the area and we needed a breakfast place and this sounded weird (alcoholic…read moredrinks in the morning?) but it was close. So we gave it a try. I was expecting to feel blah about it. As we went in I saw they named the chef on the outside window, and I thought hmm, interesting. Going in we were greeted by the hostess whose smile was a little too deliberate, maybe it's a required smile enforced by the bosses which can sometimes not be the best feels for the customer. Bosses, please don't do that. But still she was nice and we were seated and helped quickly. They have a great menu with lots of enticing options, it was looking good already. Then we found out they had crab cake eggs benedict! So I skipped out on my other options, pancakes or huevos rancheros, and we split that. The prices seemed kind of high but then where is that not the case these days? Given the feel of the place it seemed fair to me. The food came and it was amazing. Generous amount of crab and it was real crab, with perfect eggs and sauce on a gorgeous english muffin that was... stay with me here I'm not trying to get fancy with prose here, let me just reuse what I said above: amazing. Somehow the muffin was both crisply toasted in butter to a crunch on top (of the muffin), yet amazingly chewy (in a good way) on the bottom. And not soggy, the sauce was well placed on top of the egg above the crab cake. The service was friendly and in all ways perfect. Food came quickly. The place was not noisy or perfumey. My only regret is I can only tell you about that one dish since that's what we shared. I was too full to finish the little smash-grilled baby potato discs so we took some to go. All in all it was fantastic. We will go again next time we are in town. They did try to sell mimosas to us (at 8:30 am lol) but nah we did not go for it.

    I only tried the mimosas. After all the name has mimosa in it. So I was HOPING they made great…read moremimosas. Well the mimosa was SO GOOD! It did not disappoint me at all. It was perfect with the right amount of fizz. My waitress was pleasant and friendly. I loved sitting out on the patio people watching and enjoying the sunshine and scenery. It's a cozy place inside or outside. I definitely will return to try more mimosas on my next visit to California.
