![]() ![]() Executive Chef Mike Greco has unveiled Bijou Grille's 'California Bistro Dining' menu for the 2013-14 Theatre Season. The banquet area can host 80 seated guests or 100 revelers for cocktails. Above the restaurant the Bijou reveals a spacious banquet room for larger groups and private functions. Show posters - reflecting the Theatre District - are positioned throughout the dining and lounge area. The grand mural of 'Singing In The Rain' cast members Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor still graces the lounge area greeting guests as they arrive. Wall art has been reorganized and updated to include a roaring twenties, Coco Chanel look that accents the Bijou theme. It's Purple-hued interior now blends nicely with the Bijou's signature Magenta accented stained glass lighting. The restaurant has a fresh new color that offers clean, simple lines and a more contemporary look. The Bijou Grille has a new look! The oft times "eclectic" labeled Bijou has been simplified. it was now 7:30 & they had no food!!! The food was tasteless when it did come!! Never eever AGAIN!! ![]() it turned out they had a 6:00 reservation. As we were leaving the restaurant, the people in a nearby booth said "well, enjoy the show". For the first time in my life I didn't leave a tip, and I am usually at least a 20% tipper. I said they might as well give it to someone as I didn't have time to eat it. My friend gave me 1 of her 2 Pulled Pork Sliders, With the check came my Pizza "at no charge". At 7:15 I told them to cancel my order and bring us the check. My 2 companions food finally came at about 7:00 & I was told mine was 2 min. She looked back to me and was like "oh, well what did you want to do, do you want a menu?" I said I did if the food could be made in time, ordering a Margaherita Flatbread pizza. I said "I can't eat that, I'm allergic to onions". later (so around 6:50 the waitress came back to me and said the entree I had ordered without onions could not be made that way & started to walk away. later, our waitress finally returned & said "what were your drink orders, I forgot to put them in?" We reordered, and then perhaps 10 min. Then the waitress disappeared, to only be seen flying around the restaurant, and talking to the women next to us (she seemed to know them, and needless to see rhey got their drinks & food in good time).not so us.at approximately 6:40, one of our 3 soup orders was brought to the table by a busboy. there weren't many people in the place, and fairly quickly placed our drink order. I called first and was assurred that the overbooking situation was an anomoly! Not so! Our reservation was for 6:00 and we were sure to be early. So, when one of our group suggested the Bijou for this past Friday, I was very skeptical. The restaurany was WAY overbooked & service was ridiculously slow. Main Street was blocked & access was impossible. We went to the Bijou prior to a performance at Sheas last June. ![]()
