We did not make reservations because we were not sure how long we would be at Arches and did not want to be tied down to a time plan. We arrived around 7pm and much to my disappointment was told by the hostess that she would not have a table for us until 8pm. She was very nice and asked... more

I had the risotto and it was like library paste with no flavor. My friends had the lamb and it was sour. One of my coeaters asked for his meat to be VERY... more

Although the prices are higher at Desert Bistro, you definitely get what you pay for as far as taste and appearance. The chef is wonderful and does NOT disappoint. This is my 3rd time at Desert Bistro and I have never had a meal that was not talked about well into that evening. This time we tried: elk sausage which... more

Fresh, innovative, served hot in a lovely atmosphere by staff with smiles! What else could a person want? We had driven all day and wore our jeans, feeling right at home. The food was wonderful. I will remember this restaurant and tell my friends! more
