“The Bison Team knows how to manage a party! From the host, servers, barmanagers, and event manager - everyone was so welcoming, service focused and went above and beyond for our guests. We are still getting rave reviews from our friends and family about the food, especially the bison short rib. Thank you to Hayley and everyone on the Bison Restaurant team for making our Welcome Dinner so special.”
