    Waited 30 minutes for raw sausages.
    Jonathan W.

    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.

    Cobble Gobble

    Came in for lunch and enjoyed Cobble gobble salad is delicious. I love the new kitschy selections. Portions are generous. Service is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is always clean and comfortable.

    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

    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.

    Hot chicken sandwich with fries. Delicious
    John F.

    This was our second time dining here this time for breakfast. I ordered the breakfast burger that came with hash browns. The burger was delicious and juicy with the egg on top. The service was excellent was quickly greeted and seated and served hot coffee that was also good. The ambiance is chill and the space doesn't have any of the casino noise entering. I will return again soon.

Despite having…read morethree menus - drinks, dinner, and happy hour - choosing what to order didn't feel overwhelming, and we quickly landed on the anchovy toast, beet salad, shrimp & grits, and mushroom risotto. Our server was incredibly friendly, and the entire room shared the same warm, easygoing vibe. The small, speakeasy themed space was already packed at 5 PM, so reservations seem like a must. Everything we ordered was well-prepared and delicious, but the standout dishes were the beet salad and the shrimp & grits. The beet salad had a perfect mix of textures; chopped pistachios, tender beets, and crunchy radishes over a pillowy ricotta. I finished the salad wishing there was more. The shrimp & grits featured a potlikker sauce that absolutely lived up to the hype; it made the dish. I wish the shrimp & grits were served in a bowl rather than a shallow dish. I found myself chasing the sauce and polenta around the plate, trying not to push it over the edge. That said, if it were in a bowl, I might have just drank the sauce, so perhaps this is the restaurant's way of preserving a bit of dignity for its guests. Next time, I'm hoping to visit when oyster po' boys and fried green tomatoes are on the menu.

    I've been meaning to check this place out since they opened, and finally made it in today--worth…read morethe wait. It absolutely lives up to the hype. The vibe is effortlessly chill, with whimsical decor--think antique lamps, an old record player, and lots of little details that make you want to look around. The whole place felt alive in the best way--buzzing with conversation, laughter, and people clearly having a great time. We didn't have a reservation, but lucked out with seats at the community table. Bonus: the other guests were super welcoming, which just added to the fun, communal feel. We hit happy hour, and wow--it's a good one. Tons of interesting bites and a solid drink lineup. I went with a whiskey sour, my friend had the ginger beer on draft (very refreshing), and we shared the prawns, Brussels sprouts, and creamy mac & cheese. Everything was seriously delicious. Shoutout to our server, Melanie--friendly, attentive, and totally on it, even with the place packed. A couple things to note: it does get loud, so maybe not your spot if you're after a quiet, intimate dinner. Also, the happy hour menu listed Brussels sprouts but didn't mention bacon--I'm vegetarian, so that was a bit of a surprise. (It is noted on the regular dinner menu, which I admittedly didn't check.) All in all, such a fun, lively spot. I'll definitely be back for more bites and cocktails.

We got there at 11 we were seated immediately and it took them about 30 minutes to take our order. Not to mention that the original girl who came to talk to us, was only able to take our drinks and she told us that another server would come back to get our actual food order. The mocha oaxaqueño was actually pretty good. The actual food I got was all right. To be honest it's a little strange when you go to a restaurant and the coffee is better than the actual plate. I got the chilaquiles, normally when you get this plate anywhere else, everything is kind of mixed together, which gives everything a good flavor. In this case the eggs were separated from the chorizo, which was also kind of separated from the actual chilaquiles. Since they were all separated, you couldn't really taste the flavor on the eggs or the chorizo of the Chilaquiles. Therefore, I was not a fan of the dish. I will say that while we were there, no one came to check on us or ask us if we liked our food or if we needed anything. The place inside is very loud and packed. Anyways, it was a little strange to eat somewhere where the server hardly talks to you in a restaurant that is kind of empty. I'm not really sure that the food was good enough for me to come back. But the coffee was definitely good. This would be something I would probably buy for a takeout.

It was late, i guess 45 min before closing. Looking at the menu it all looked great, creative etc. i asked the server shot the food and he said oh everything is made from scratch., etc. we're got two bowls, the dragon bowl and the roast beef bowl to go. We got them home and opened them up. The roast beef bowl was described as being served over a bed of home made mashed potatoes topped with home made gravy and special horseradish sauce. Tasting it, it was a way too salty and the meat was so mushy it blended way too seamlessly with the brown gravy to my taste, ie it was all a mush of sauce over more mushy mashed potato! But i preferred its flavor over the dragon bowl, but definitely did not taste like a home made beef gravy from scratch, it was on the overly thickened by corn starch side, with that fake bouillon taste. Dragon Bowl looks good, topped with crunchy cashews that had slight rancid taste, and fresh green onion. And sadly, the chunks of chicken in it were hard, ie tough, precooked for who-knows-how-long-tasting; old tasting. And the sauce was way too sweet. I was disappointed with the $35 bill. We took the food to go. Once we tasted it at home we basically threw it all in the garbage. What a waste but, yuck. Sorry! Ambiance: The place was empty of patrons, and felt like it was closing now even though they still have 45 min. Our two bowls were ordered were handed to us super fast after ordering, like it took no time to prepare, explaining the poor flavor and quality we experienced, plus look at what others have written about all this premade fast food. I want to give one star, but I'll give 2, in benefit of the doubt they were trying to close early and rushed things vs if it were earlier in evening with more clientele.
