Right now, they're closed renovating. They had a terrific Champagne brunch on Sundays. Nothing over the top. Usually a guitar player in the background, buffet style, and the food is really good. Very comfortable!

During our family reunion, we decided to come here for dinner. The service was excellent and so was the food. The view from the outdoor patio was great as well. It was nice to dine here on a warm night.

Let me start with I LOVE BISHOP'S LODGE. I am disappointed that the restaurant has slipped over the years. I am being generous with 2 stars, mostly because the restaurant staff are amazing as is the view. Based on food, I would struggle with a single star. The menu is dull. The dishes offered are uninspired, chain -like. The breakfast menu included a dish titled, juevos nuevos rancheros. This dish included Bishop's potatoes and ranch beans. The dish came out the frozen hash browns (zero seasoning, seemingly dumped out of a freezer bag and slightly microwaved), and Ranch-Style beans from a can with zero additional flavor. The eggs were topped with a conservative amount of fancy shredded cheddar. I would expect at least cotija or asadero cheeses. Not acceptable for a restaurant in a resort of this caliber. The waitstaff was gracious and apologetic, perhaps the chef needs a vacation to reinvent the menu.

I had an absolutely terrible and racially charged experience at Las Fuentes Restaurant at Bishops Lodge. I had made reservations nearly 2 weeks in advance, but when we arrived, there was a party for a local Law firm that apparently caused the rest of the Bishops Lodge staff to forget that there were other customers. We ended up waiting for our table for about 45 minutes. When the hostess finally arrived, she didn't believe we had a reservation and I spent another 5 minutes explaining to her that I was who I said I was and I did, indeed, have a reservation. The restaurant we made our reservation for was too full, so the hostess took us downstairs to Las Fuentes. When we got there, we were ready to relax and expected the rest of the night to go smoothly, but that was not the case. The staff at Las Fuentes was so incredibly rude and racist towards me (a black woman) and my dinner guest (a hispanic man), both of us clearly American and familiar with cultural dining practices. After ordering our food (but before it arrived) the waiter felt the need to come back to our table while we were enjoying a glass of wine for the purpose of reminding us that, "it is customary for you to tip 15%." The waiter then stood there and crossed his arms with his eyebrows raised until we said we understood. I was totally and completely shocked! The waiter obviously had no interest in serving us, and stared us down and whispered with the bartender the whole time we were eating, as if we didn't belong there. The sweet, elderly, white couple sitting nearby gave us a sympathetic look and told us not to worry because they could tell how upset I was. After our food came, the waiter immediately brought us our check. He didn't ask if we wanted more wine, or dessert and didn't ask us how the food was. He just wanted us to leave. I was so shocked and appalled at the overwhelming rudeness of the waiter throughout our meal, I couldn't even eat their over-priced, dry, mealy, bland "crab cakes." I made sure when we left (probably only 35 minutes after sitting down) we only left the customary 15% even though I typically leave 30%. I spent the ride home apologizing profusely to my dinner guest for what he had to endure. We are both respectable, successful and highly professional young people (mid-20s) and we did not deserve to be treated that way. Bishop's Lodge is a joke. I will not be patronizing this business ever again, I will never recommend it, and I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. It was hands down the worst dining experience I've had in my entire life.

Went here for an evening out with Friends because this restaurant was featured in "Restaurant Week". Atmosphere was lovely. However, too bad the service there was not up to par.We arrived at 7pm for our reservation for a party of 8. Took the waiter quite awhile to get going and bring our drinks. We inquired about the "Restaurant Week" special. This featured a three course meal for $30 per person. The waiter again took awhile to retrieve the proper menus. After leaving us alone for quite some time, the waiter finally came back to take our orders. Each course item took a very long time to arrive. This was a bit appalling since there were only two - 2 top tables in the restaurant besides us when we arrived. Those tables appeared to be nearly done with their meal. The food was just okay and nothing to brag about. Portions are small. The waiter took forever to refill our glasses and always needed to be asked for a refill on drinks. Very slow service and the restaurant was not even busy!When the bill finally arrived, we were all in shock as there was a 20% gratuity tacked on for a large party. 20% for sub par service? (we wouldn't have minded paying for excellent service but, this was not the case). Also, there was a "resort fee" tacked on as well. Wow.... this place is not worth it! Don't waste your time.....
