The Bistro at Lakeland Village

"stopped in for an early dinner...we so much want to like this place...but its a hit and a miss it seems. Service was really slow...with a "Karen" marching up to our table from the bar to dress down the gal taking our order on having to wait too long for her bill..not cool "Lakeland Karen" I ordered a glass of Italian white wine 10bucks my husband a beer..6 bucks...appetizer of seafood cocktail 15.99 i think...too much money for it....taste was ok...i think it has coleslaw at the bottom..strange presentation. My cod and chips were mediocre at best had to return fries massively over salted and the fish product is a flat oval odd looking thing with not much taste. My husband's burger was ok...overall..a bit small and he had chowder. .came in at a few cents short of 21 bucks..mine was 17.50....i got another glass of wine which was not the same kind as the first..but by that time it i just went ahead and drank it....we had three different people waiting on us...the owners and a young fella..they are very nice people but for over a hundred bucks including tip it was a big miss. Summer was much better all around. ...we will wait till then to go back. I find that our area including Belfair have alot of overpriced underwhelming restaurants and bars. Went for lunch..prawn appetizer was not good...too much money for the portion and prawns were hard....pasta bowls need to be warmed...pasta gets cold quick presentation poor.....fries good blt ok...drinks good."

"We tried The Bistro as we were staying in an AirBnB in the Lakeland Village. The food, service and atmosphere was so great, that we'll probably visit Allyn from Seattle just to visit the Bistro. It's heaven if you love seafood. My favorite was their "sexy shrimps' starter, followed by clam chowder and the fish and chips. All of them were great. If you're vegetarian, you can try their garlic cheesy bread or Fettuccine Alfredo too."

"Excellent food! Decent serving sizes. Great variety of beers and cocktails to choose from. Bathroom was nice and clean."

"Great food, local beer, and nice view of the lake aka pond. I really enjoyed the local beer and the cod and chips was delicious. We had the steak bites as starters. The cheese sauce was the best."

"Four star for Allyn, but a three star anywhere else. We were sat quickly and the staff was super friendly. We got seated on the patio which was nice since some ducks decided to have a bath and we got to watch the action. For our app we got the gorgonzola tri-tip which was just okay. I would order them much less well done next time but the cheese sauce was good. For mains we got the Caesar wrap and burger. The Wrap had croutons inside which was odd but good. The burger wasn't great. Probably began the day as a frozen puck. Both mains came with fries which were good because they had the skin on but weren't great because they were likely frozen. The drinks were fat and delicious. As was the Strawberry Shortcake. It's alright but nothing remarkable."
