Bijan's Bistro - Chicago

Stopped for a bite to eat here just before going to see Hamilton. Service was quick and the quesadilla was good. I would consider returning for sure.

Had to finish off our visit with the infamous dog and beef. The place was run so very efficiently although it resembled a three ring circus. Lines everywhere, staff 'hollering ' order to the cooks, wow! Our order was a perfect Chicago dog all the way. Could have eaten three! The Chicago Italian beef was all we hoped for and then some. More giardinia please ! A cold draft beer and a free chocolate cake to go is all a girl could ask for. Would I go back- you betcha

We went to Bijan's Bistro for an impromptu lunch over the weekend. We were greeted and seated outside by a very friendly little man with an accent. Our waiter greeted us right away and took our drink orders. He was fine, no complaints about the service.<br/ <br/ We perused the menu and decided to start with Spinach and Artichoke dip. The dip itself was delicious, but the cracker that the serve it with, left a lot to be desired. The cracker would break no matter how you tried to get dip on it. And as soon as it hit your mouth it dissolved. Tasty dip, but needs a vehicle change.<br/ <br/ My lunch date ordered the Shrimp BLT Sandwich with homemade chips. It was very underwhelming. There were MAYBE 2 shrimp on the sandwich and one slice of bacon. It was very plain and really, not worth it.<br/ <br/ I ordered the Grilled Beef Tenderloin Sandwich with homemade chips. I must say that this sandwich was wonderful. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium) and the whole sandwich was very flavorful and loaded with meat. Well worth the money they charge for it. The homemade chips, for both sandwiches, were slightly over- AND undercooked. But tasted fine. <br/ <br/ Will probably head back there, but not in the near future.

Cute little Bistro. Nice atmosphere. The hostess was super friendly. Roasted pork chop was amazing!

A Good Place To Go. We arrived late and asked for a nearby place to get something to eat; we were referred to Bijon's. The food was good to very good, portions were generous, and the home made chips were awesome. You always expect to pay more than retail for wine when dining out and with that in mind the wine was very reasonably priced.<br/ <br/ This is a bistro done well. I would return and I recommend it to others.
