It was a great evening on Las Olas. Restaurant was busy with Florida Panther's fan watching the game at the bar. Restaurant always delivers. Drinks, and food always good. For a sure thing, Big City always fills the bill.

The food at Big City is excellent. One of the best burgers in town. Even at 10:30 pm the place was busy and exciting. Service is excellent.

Friendly staff, good cocktails, good food... I had the fish special... which was Wahoo... I've never had it before, and felt it was a bit firm and dry for my fish preference... I don't blame the restaurant... unless it was overcooked... but since I'm not a Wahoo expert, I didn't say anything... my guests had the flatiron steak and pork chop both said they were amazing... the Calamari is a must get for an app...

I had the jerk chicken pizza. What a great combo of plantains, chicken, cheese and a tasty drizzle.
