    Very cute restaurant, but odd that drinks labeled “margarita” don’t actually have tequila; in fact, no spirits served. Food was good, except for the long, curly hair found on top of our brussels sprout appetizer…thus the reason for the lower rating here. Dedicated play area to drop off your dog, if you have a pet with you.

    NIce view of the lake. We were there on a quiet evening abd while the food was good and the servers friendly, it took forever to get our food. No updates on the reason for the delay, nor apology!

    We enjoyed a lovely late lunch on the patio. The view was divine and the food was delicious. My potatoes were a tad under, but the burger and stir fry were super tasty. Loved the pretzel sticks and cheese appetizer. The spicy “margarita” was luscious. Will definitely be back!

    Our first time here, we wanted a nice restaurant for our Easter meal. We waited a few minutes to be seated but the restaurant is nicely decorated with a nice fireplace and a beautiful view of Seneca Lake. The food was fresh and delicious. The value for the price was very reasonable. We liked the small (but delicious!) desserts. We'll definitely be back and we'd like to stay in a cozy cottage sometime, too!

    My lunch fish tacos were good however my husband turkey wrap was dry. Even though only one other table there our waitress never came around because I’m sure alittle xtra mayo would have helped. It actually a lobby of a cabin rental office. Nothing like I thought of you thinking Bistro. Tables outside looking over the lake look inviting in the warmer weather.

    First time at 3812 Bistro, it was highly recommended by friends and we were not disappointed. The food was fantastic. I had salmon with quinoa and veggies which was cooked perfectly and delicious. My husband had one of the dinner specials- Shrimp Etouffee. He loved it, giant shrimp cooked perfectly. The wait staff was friendly and professional. Will definitely return.

    Dinner special, steak au poivre, outstanding flavor and done to perfection. It was served with garlic mashed potatoes and glazed carrots - all blending together for a great meal.

    First, I was under the impression that brunch was served here based on their website. I made reservations for 11am and when we arrived at 10:49, we were told we could order breakfast only in the next 11 minutes or we would have to get lunch. We ordered breakfast - I asked for a mimosa which was never served and I had to ask for it to be taken off the bill. How the mimosa was forgotten when only 2 other people were in the restaurant is beyond me. The breakfast burrito I ordered looked awful as well. I will never return to this restaurant and I suggest that you change the website so that people aren’t fooled about the lack of brunch. There was a super cute dog that was there who was friendlier than the waitress though…that was a bonus!

    3812 BistroResponded on February 6, 2023Dear Colcla, we're sorry for such a dreadful experience, that is certainly not our standard. But it's very confusing... we have never (not once) offered brunch. And you came in with the option of breakfast or lunch and chose breakfast so? Didn't get your mimosa, why not remind the server? Didn't like your burrito? Ask and we would've made you something else. We are all human, infallibly so. But say nothing during your visit then write a scathing review afterward, there is nothing we can do.
