    We have gone to BDG many times over the years. We have always been impressed in the past. This visit was a major disappointment for me and my family. Several of us felt our entrees were sub par. My pork chop was sloppily plated and tasteless. The risotto was not fully cooked and the lamb shank sauce thin and watery. Our waiter seemed too busy to care for our party. He never offered to pour our wine and seemed more interested in an adjoining tables needs. In short, we are in disbelief of what has happened to one of our favorite restaurants. By the way, we are locals.

    Celebrated our anniversary dinner at BDG and have no complaints. Ambience, food and service are always top notch! We’ve celebrated here many times over the years and will continue to do so.

    I had heard great things about this restaurant and I think if a few things had been different, my experience would have dramatically improved. First, we were sat in a very loud part of the restaurant with music blaring overhead. So loud that I couldn’t hear my husband speaking. Second, our waiter seemed too busy for us and wanted to hurry us through dinner. The restaurant knew it was our 30th wedding anniversary because the waiter who brought our dessert, different than the regular waiter, said happy anniversary. That was more disappointing than if they had not known since it felt like they knew but didn’t care. The wine was delicious and my husband enjoyed it his entree but if I had to do it over, I would have either chosen another restaurant or at least asked to be sat in a different section.
