    Friday night, 25 minutes for cocktails, and no water while waiting from the server was a pretty rough start. Cocktails arrived same time as appetizers, and our server accidentally spilled one of the drinks. They were quick to order us another drink, but there was still a charge on the bill for the waiters accident. It was removed once asked about, but seemed like it was an after thought to remove. Hiring more bartenders and waitstaff might help expedite drink timing and lack of attention.  Food was good.

    We dined at Big Bowl during Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint. The price-fixed menu was perfect and well worth it. Our sever, Natalie, was excellent.

    Lettuce entertain you has to remove the extra charge. Enough. Surcharges are a terrible business model. One of our favorite restaurants though.

    Menu is very limited now, prices are way higher for what you get, quality of food is just mediocre, not like it used to be....the women in the booth behind us were very loud, where my husband & I couldn't hear each other:(

    Delicious food and excellent service by our server, Carlos -he was the highlight of our experience. Bonus for clean bathrooms. Would have liked more veggies in dish. Only annoyance: the 3% surcharge on top of our meal.

    We didn't realize the bonus $25 card (recd with the $100 giftcard we bought) had additional restrictions on top of the date restrictions... be sure to read the ridiculous long list on the back!
