The food was amazing, very upscale. Our salads were delicious and coffee was fresh. We had a wonderful night as a couple.

The atmosphere and the service was fantastic. The drinks were good. The food was not . The “Fall Crostini” Was very, very messy and almost impossible to eat in a public setting. Kind of fell apart. The French onion soup was so salty. It was almost not edible.

Awesome venue - a refurbished classic old hotel. But service was fair (stood around waiting for 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge and seat us.) Food was excellent but a bit pricey, Salmon was well done. Biggest complaint and the reason the overall grade is low it he price point: too high. Particularly the wine: $55 for a bottle of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay I can get for $12-14??!! Come on! For date night or a special occasion it might be worth it, otherwise overpriced.

The service was slow, from the reception desk through payment, but NOT due to the wait staff. They were greatly understaffed, people virtually running to their next stop. Very genuine and responsive wait staff, outstanding food.

Popped in for a quiet lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Best Tuscan soup I’ve ever had. And the Blackhawk salad was amazing too.

Beautiful & great foo, the only reason I didn't give 5 star is we had to wait about 20minutes when we had reservations & our table was free the entire time.

We arrived in a huge group on a tour bus during a tornado and a flood watch, and unexpectedly our entire group had to stay at the hotel to dine that night. We filled up the entire restaurant, almost every seat. The host welcomed us all with a huge smile and kind words, and made all of us feel welcome. I told her I knew she wasn’t expecting all of us, and I apologized for descending upon her the way we did. She didn’t miss a beat and told all of us that she was so happy we were there, and that she couldn’t wait to make us feel welcome. Within minutes we all had menus, ice water, and some of the most delicious bread and butter I’ve ever had. We got to sit by our friends, no fuss was made, and the ladies that waited on us moved like a well oiled machine taking our orders and bringing our hot food and delicious drinks. I’m bad with names but the host had reddish blonde hair and the other two were a short blonde and a long brown ponytail. There was also a man who was bald who appeared out of nowhere and brought us water and he was so charming. The lady in charge of it all knows what she is doing and has a great team. My table was happy and I think the entire tour bus was pleased as well. Beautiful hotel and beautiful night.
Our table ordered a steak, large pork chop, sea bass , and lamb chops. All were beautifully prepared and delicious. When they told my husband that they were out of sirloin, they apologized and offered him a glass of wine or a desert for his inconvenience of changing to another cut of steak. Our server was attentive without hovering. We would definitely go back for dinner.

We had a lovely dinner at Big Bistro. It was nice to be in a quiet restaurant and not have to talk over loud music or TVs. Our server was very attentive. Cocktails and food were delciious. We will be back.

Always consistent in providing quality food and service. The table arrangements and seating are not comfortable.

Terrific!!

There was an unfortunate miscommunication issue between kitchen, the server, and our party of 4. I ordered the orange duck. Kitchen apparently did not communicate to the server that only one portion of duck was remaining and gave it to another party and then the server brought out the other three meals and THAT'S when I was told they were out of duck. They offered to prioritize an alternate item for me...and I believe they also offered to comp my meal, but everyone else would have been done eating by the time I received my entree so I declined. In lieu of that option our cocktails were comped. My husband and I have been patrons on other times and service was excellent. Our BIGGEST complaint was the atmosphere. There was a large party of men (baseball coaches for a traveling baseball team). They were drinking heavily and extremely loud making conversation difficult and their children RAN through the dining area screaming and their parents did NOTHING to control their behavior. Bistro staff did NOTHING to abate the situation so apparently they didn't care about the rest of the restaurant having a peaceful meal.
Great food and service!!!
