- JDJohnDSt. Louis •2 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoOverall experience and quality isn't what it was when the restaurant initally opened. Bread was stale, overall food presentation wasn't up to your previous standards. We have been a wine club member since you opened. Never get asked by the hostess or wait staff if we are members.More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Springfield$$$$• American• Springfield•4.7
- JBJohnB1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThis was our first time at Broadguage. The restaurant was welcoming and clean. The ambience of a restored, old building was charming. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. She was efficient, but unobtrusive. I would highly recommend it and will definitely return when I'm in the area.More infoBroadgauge$$$$• American• Petersburg•4.7
- RERobinEChicago / Illinois •1 review4.0Dined on Apr 7, 2023We were seated quickly, our service was wonderful. The food was paced well, it came out hot and plentiful. The only drawback was mom's nightly was a little tough to chew. Not bad enough to be sent back but enough for her to mention it while eating. Overall we will definitely be back!More infoRed Lobster - Springfield - Dirksen Parkway$$$$• Seafood• Springfield•4.1
