We were driving through town and went out of our way to stop here because my husband had heard such…read moregreat things about this restaurant. One of the biggest reasons we chose it was because they advertised a dog-friendly patio. Before being seated, my husband specifically went inside to speak with the hostess because rain was expected soon. The hostess acknowledged the forecast, and my husband said we were completely fine sitting under the patio umbrellas as long as the restaurant was okay serving us outside. She assured us that it was not a problem. We were seated on the patio and intentionally looked through the menu quickly because we wanted to minimize the server having to come outside in the rain. When the server came out, she immediately commented about the weather and was clearly upset about having to serve the patio. We were sympathetic and tried to be as easygoing as possible. What happened next was honestly bizarre. She pulled out her notepad and just stared down at it without saying a word. We ordered drinks and then sat there in silence waiting for any kind of acknowledgment or follow-up like, "What would you like to eat?" After about 15 awkward seconds, she finally looked up visibly irritated. I ordered, she wrote it down without saying anything else, and then stormed back inside. At that point, we decided we no longer felt welcome. We brought the waters back inside and told her she could cancel the order. Her response was simply, "Are you sure?" The entire interaction consisted of maybe six words total from our server. We later called to let the manager know what happened. While they did apologize, the only solution offered was for us to place a to-go order instead. That completely missed the point. We weren't looking for free food or special treatment -- we just expected basic hospitality after being explicitly told they were happy to serve the patio despite the weather. This entire situation could have been avoided if the restaurant had simply told us upfront that patio service during the rain was an issue.

But…read morefor my wife's and I anniversary I wanted to play the junk box at 4:45 PM on March 10, 2026, to play Music Groups, Aerosmith, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing", and Savage Garden, "I Knew I Loved You". So I approached the juke box, and the bar tender Whoever said, that this is a family-owned restaurant, and they don't play the juke box during the day, because it is a family restaurant, but they have the Game Room, playing crude country music that doesn't respect the family, and they say my music is going make trouble. Plus they can have restricted stuff from not playing, instead, I felt singled out as a guest there. Yes, you can have your double standard rules, because this is America, and the freedom to do whatever you feel like, but that does not mean I have to go there to be singled. I don't have to go back there. The first time was great in January, but on my wife and I anniversary of 26 years, I think I can find a place where I feel more welcomed. It is always the case of passing a great place down through the family, in order for it feel unwelcomed of the glory days. Yes, I know this place has been around since the 1990's, but it is a very unwelcoming place. You can act nice, while showing you didn't want us there. They said it was because Karaoke was at 7PM, while a minute song at 4:45PM. While they didn't even know what songs I was going to place. Again, I thought it would be an old-fashioned feel. Thus instead, I felt the Cold Ridged Religious Feel that was a double standard of Gambling Rooms and so forth. Yes, I went to seminary and everything else, but I am going to let everyone choose their own path. They have their ridged rules, but that does not mean I have to eat there, especially for anniversaries. It is not an anniversary or a place for specially occasions. Again, it doesn't bother me one bit, because I move on, but I am raised with certain values to tell what I believe. My wife felt the onion soup was too breaded and cheesy. They had a great Salad and Gluten Free Pizza. And the bathrooms are clean when I went in there, but I don't feel welcomed there. Like you're a stranger that should never return. I just wonder.

Omelets were dry and to be honest the worst I have had in any restaurant. We are not hard to please, but the experience here was not in any way pleasant.

We had been on our way to another local restaurant but decided to try this spot because I had heard good things. Our experience did not support this at all. I sincerely hope this was not typical, and will not recommend to anyone. What we had hoped would be a good experience was anything but good.

I wasn't thrilled about the $8 price, but I figured it was worth a try once...but it was HUGE. I was shocked at how big the serving was. It was honestly more than enough for a meal for two.

During our recent visit to Oglebay, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at the Garden Bistro,…read morea restaurant that seamlessly blends culinary excellence with sustainability. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Debra, the manager, whose passion for the bistro and its mission was evident. She was incredibly informative, sharing not just details about the menu but also the unique farm-to-table vision that makes this place stand out. We decided to relax on the porch, taking in the panoramic views of the Terrace Gardens while enjoying a seasonal cocktail. The setting was serene--an ideal spot for a light and refreshing meal. We shared the Burrata & Tomato Tapenade ($18), a flavorful dish of fresh burrata cheese, roasted tomato tapenade, grilled crostini, fresh basil, and a drizzle of fennel oil. It was the perfect combination of rich, creamy, and herbaceous--simple yet elevated. What sets the Garden Bistro apart is its commitment to using regionally sourced produce, free-range chicken and eggs, grass-fed beef, and handcrafted bread. The menu features options for a variety of dietary needs, including gluten-free and vegetarian selections. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available, but I highly recommend the porch if weather permits--it's an unbeatable view paired with a truly relaxing atmosphere. The next day, our curiosity led us back to the Bistro--this time to visit the connected GrowLab. What an inspiring experience! The GrowLab is more than just a greenhouse--it's a hub of innovation, where Oglebay is redefining sustainable farming. We learned about the park's hydroponic technology, which allows them to grow everything from herbs to strawberries on-site, without soil and with minimal water. It's a forward-thinking, environmentally friendly system that supports the Bistro's fresh, local menu. The impact is impressive: over 200 pounds of produce are harvested weekly, and with nearly 4,000 plants grown in up to 89 hydroponic tower units, it's a model of efficiency and ecological mindfulness. Even more commendable is Oglebay's effort to educate guests. The GrowLab offers a living classroom experience where visitors can learn about sustainable agriculture and its role in addressing food security. Oglebay's commitment to sustainability is not just a tagline--it's deeply embedded in everything they do, from the gardens to the plate. Dining at the Garden Bistro and exploring the GrowLab made for one of the most unique and memorable experiences of our stay. If you're visiting Oglebay, do not miss this gem. Whether you're a foodie, a gardener, or someone who simply appreciates fresh, flavorful cuisine in a beautiful setting, the Garden Bistro and GrowLab will leave a lasting impression. This is sustainability done right--and it tastes as good as it sounds.

Depending on the night of the week is what potential fun you could have from Karaoke to Open Mic night.

Some nights may be packed while others you'll have plenty of space to relax. Parking can be a challenge too as it is only street parking near by. If your not careful you'll pass it by as the signage is not real easy to see driving by.
