Our experience at Cornerstone Bistro was one not to be forgotten, mostly owed to our server, NIckilee, who made our experience there a fun, enjoyable evening. The food we ordered was delicious -- I had the coconut shrimp and chop-chop salad, both which were presented as described on the menu (how often does that happen?), cooked to perfection (that would be the shrimp), and tasty. My husband had the mussels appetizer, which he said was delicious, and truly enjoyed. We ought to mention that Nickilee saved our evening. We originially ordered the Prime Rib, which she was led to tell us would be cooked medium rare. Before our order came, she returned to tell us that the cooks had informed her that it would be closer to medium. Did we want to try it anyway, and it was not to our liking, she would speak to the manager? We agreed to try it. It came, looking pretty medium, and when my husband cut into it, it was -- well, almost dusty. We turned it away, and went with our Plan B orders, described above. If it hadn't been for the foresight of this very skilled server, our experience at Cornerstone Bistro might not have been so great. I'm also going to add that it would have been nice to see the manager visit our table, considering the above scenario. Ostensibly, he was "upstairs." We will definitely give Cornerstone another try. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the seating comfortable, and there's lots of potential here.

My dad dragged me here, despite my protests re: lackluster Yelp reviews. What a surprise! Food was great. Service was excellent. Polite and accommodating. Got there at 5 for the dinner special. Start to finish, my dining experience was entirely pleasant. Don't be daunted by the poor reviews from years past; I think it's recently reopened after being closed for a bit.

Great service, lacklustre food, dates wrapped in bacon? Really? We make those for football games. Chopped salad that was tasteless. Mediocre entrees. If you want to be a high end place you better step it up. Very disappointed.

Do not and I repeat do not go here for a holiday meal. Unfortunately, we recently experienced Easter "dinner" at Cornerstone. Pleasantly surprised as we drove into parking area. Lovely setting. We had a 3 pm seating on this past Easter sunday. There were 10 of us and restaurant graciously put us in a small private dining room. That was end of special consideration. First, our waitstaff was lovely and very responsive. Drink order was a while in being delivered but busy dining room. Waiter delivered 10 x 10 plates and basically urged us to go get em. Ugh. We stupidly thought that meant go get apps. Nope. Small omelet station with run of the mill condiments - at 4 pm? Tons of people lined up for what we thought were apps - soggy shrimp, salad, some ungodly looking whole fish people were cutting into, crackers and cheese. Then, on the bar was the "food." mystery meat supposedly turkey and beef, some veggies and that was it. "dinner" included app, entree and dessert. After rummaging about to get something albeit poorly prepared, dessert was served. Carrot cake was acceptable and from a freezer somewhere, frozen cheesecake which by the way was not intended to be frozen, or a one inch slice of pecan pie all of which were served on plates larger than "dinner" plates. All had one drink whether it be alcoholic or not and tax and tip: $38 each. Normally not a lot for a holiday meal, but in this case, poorly priced for an even more poorly prepared meal. Only shining element was the nice setting and gracious staff. Will not return. Yuk

Has an elegant comfortable decor with plenty of natural light coming in. there's glass around were the chef are cooking in case you want to watch. We got there for 5 p.m. they weren't quite ready, still cleaning but, had us seated within 15 minutes. Our waiter was great, very friendly, helpful and funny. We were a table of seven. There is an early bird special $17.95 for a drink (beer, wine or soda) soup or salad, a choice of 10 main dishes with good choice & dessert. I had macadamia nut crusted grouper it was bland taste though. also had the crab chowder it was really good. didn't like the desert cheesecake mix with cannoli. husband had the key lime for dessert said it was delicious. my parents had the filet and the salmon cakes both said they were delicious. they do seem to get backed up when it gets busy in there. they close on june 30th for 3 months.

I found the food at Cornerstone to be of low quality (i.e. Olive Garden) and very overpriced. Soup was watered down and the main course lacked in taste. Desserts were prepackaged factory made. Most of the customers were senior citizens and the music was like a 1980's porno style. The only thing I can say that was remotely good about this pseudo-restaurant was the service. But from the amount of 6 customers in the entire place, it gave the waiter plenty of time to focus on us.
