   This is a sad hotel restaurant with bad service. There were only 2 servers who were either overworked or undertrained. We never got our drinks until after our food came. I received the wrong size salad and was told I wouldn’t be charged for the larger salad. I was. We were told after such slow service and not getting our drinks, they would comp us dessert. They did not. The decor is nice but there are random parts of the restaurant that are not finished or not used, like a stage area with seat cushions stacked up. The scallop appetizer was ok but the risotto was very mushy and lacked flavor. The caesar salad was covered in cheap store bought croutons. I will not be returning.

   Food was very good but not spectacular. Service was good.... but the wait time for the meal and for getting the check was too much. They may have been understaffed but the result was us missing our next engagement.

   We came to eat before a Broadway at The Adler show. We were seating timely, received a token for complimentary parking, and was greeted with a smile. The drinks and food were both delicious. The menu was not updated online so I was not able to order what I was wanting, but the item I decided to order was worth it. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

    My husband had to send his steak back twice. It was undercooked and cold. Both of our side dishes were Luke warm. They did bring us more hot potatoes. Very disappointing We sat at the bar before dinner and had great service and drinks. Bartender was great. The atmosphere was very pleasant

    Special occasion sent us to this fabulous eatery. Medallions of beef were the best meat I've had in a long time, and it should be as the entrees are pricey. Gorgeous room, excellent service, decent wine choices. The desserts were outstanding.

    This place does not get enough credit locally. The black tie salmon is phenomenal and the filet and shrimp is excellent as well. All of the sides, potatoes and veggies are also delicious. Most of the bottles of wine are almost half price of some of the “fancier” places in the QC area. This is an excellent place to enjoy a wonderful meal quickly in a quiet, inviting environment.
    

    Bix BistroResponded on November 25, 2022Hey Zack! Thanks for the phenomenal review! We truly appreciate the kind words. Glad you like our pricing on our wine as well.

    Bix Bistro in the historic Blackhawk Hotel was a great surprise! Not many places open for dinner on a Sunday, but Bix was, and the food was great. We started out with the crab cake appetizer, and for dinner, the Blackened Walleye Fresca and the Pasta New "O." All were delicious. The atmosphere is elegant and extremely laid back. We will definitely visit again on our next trip to Davenport!

    We were in Davenport on a road trip back home to Denver, this was our second time in the hotel and restaurant. Chastity made it another great experience after a long day driving. She was a great host; very friendly, knowledgeable of the menu options and great with our young kids. We thank her so much and will be back next year.

    The location of this restaurant is very promising. Inside a boutique hotel, we were hoping for an outstanding experience. Drinks were excellent and craft made. Appetizer of crab stack was missing avocado, but the homemade won tons were exceptional. However it was a little downhill from there. Steak came with a very thick “crust” of salty Asiago and horseradish that I had to scrape off. I had asked for this “crust” expecting something more subtle. Husband’s meal of walleye was over cooked and served with cold risotto and under seasoned veggies. The server was very nice but a bit under trained. Maybe an off night?

    I honestly don’t see how this restaurant has such good reviews. The food was mediocre at best. We were a party of 6 and 2 of the pasta dishes came out cold, and I mean COLD. They took them back and put them in a microwave. What nice restaurant does that?! The cocktails were cloyingly sweet. In all, it was not worth it whatsoever and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this place to anyone. It is WAY too expensive for what you get. I would compare it to the food quality you get at an Applebees but at 3x the price.

    Were hoping for a romantic dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The menu we viewed on-line when making our reservation was not the loose paper menu we were given. There were fewer choices. Our server had 10 tables and it took 25 minutes to place our order. Then 15 minutes later we had our wine, appetizer, salad and entree nearly at once. We were surrounded by a couple of noisy tables with young children. The pace was slow and then hurried and it was difficult to enjoy our conversation or food. Seemed like they were shot-staffed. Food was good. We especially enjoyed the calamari. Overall we were very disappointed with this dining experience.
