Had lunch here, greatly disappointed. Spicy tomato soup had nice flavor, but the soup was splashed all over the bowl and the under plate from sloppy ladling. Steak salad was revolting, with chewy, tough meat, completely bland, soggy wilted greens and gelatinous "balsamic" dressing. French fries were cold and under seasoned. The waitress was friendly and did her best with... More

The roasted red beet salad was tasty, the bread appetizer not so much and the noodle bowl was even worse. Service was good, but the waitress failed to offer me another choice when she realized I didn't care for my dish. The noodle bowl's braised pork belly was actually charred and the burned flavor of pork fat was all the... More

A bit pricey, but good fish and chips meal for dinner. Did not enjoy the tiramisu cake very much, though. More

I didn't expect much from a hotel restaurant, but was delighted to see that the choice was very good and the originality and quality of the ingredients was even better. Fresh, creative food - very well presented. I just wish I had been able to sample more of the dishes! I had the roasted beets with arugula and goat cheese... More

Food was fine but very limited menu. The second night our dinner took a very long time to prepare. More

Check the menu out first, it may not be for everyone. The Mac & Cheese was delicious! It was made with white cheddar and gouda cheese I think. More

We loved the fact that there were 6 micro taps, all with high quality beers. For a chain hotel, this was a true bonus. The menu was eclectic, but there was something for everyone. Most everything is prepared on site, and the appetizers we had were very fresh. Will return. More

Haven't been to the Bigelow in >1 yr and was pleasantly surprised this week when I went there for lunch and found a revised menu with plenty of vegetarian selections. There were your typical salads, but also "heavier" dishes like gourmet grilled cheese and risotto. The increased options will definitely garner a return visit to try some of the selections! More

I ate here twice, and the food was excellent both time. Interesting menu with duck and rabbit as well as pasta and steak. More

I used to dine often at the Bigelow Grille while on business trips and was always very pleased with the food. I now live in Pittsburgh and decided to give it a try - hearing that they had a new chef and menu. I can really appreciate what they are trying to do with the organic and natual foods. Getting...
