Great food, great service and a ringside seat for a fabulous fireworks display as part of Oglebayfest! The wait staff was terrific, we loved the shrimp and grits, and the outdoor patio was perfect. So far, best restaurant at the Oglebay resort. We’ll be back.

Was there for my birthday and had a great meal. Server even brought me a dessert with a candle on it. They were not very busy which probably helped with the great service we had. I would highly recommend this place. It has outdoor seating which would be the best for the views but is weather dependent.

We really enjoyed our experience at the Garden Bistro. We were celebrating our anniversary. As we were staying at the Oglebay resort, we strolled by the Bistro early in the afternoon, and were greeted by a young, male waiter. We I formed him that we had 7 pm reservations and wished to dine outside instead of inside. When we arrived for dinner, a table was already prepared for us outside. The waiter could not have done a finer job and the manager made all the guests feel welcome and ensured that all their needs were met. The food was excellent, especially the dessert. Thank you Garden Bistro for the perfect anniversary dining experience!
