July Good Dinner: Big Sky Cafe, 7/19

July's Good Dinner was at Big Sky Cafe, and your very own Diva was the host this month. So the pressure was on to pick a good restaurant - and Big Sky did not disappoint. I'd say the main thing that stood out at Big Sky was the great customer service. The tables were set and ready for our big group, and our server Nick was, to quote a fellow dinner-goer "courteous and very accommodating." I also liked the atmosphere of the restaurant - too bad it was about 100 degrees outside, as I would have loved to enjoy their quaint outside patio. Those who surveyed the restaurant gave it almost consistently good marks. Some true winners on the menu were the Salmon and Beef Tenderloin. I unfortunately ordered the Potato Gnocchi, which was a pretty small portion and not so remarkable. But they use very fresh and high quality ingredients and that is noticeable. Extra points are also extended due to the special attention my nine month old daughter received. When I asked if I could get some diced tomatoes for her to munch on, they also brought me diced cucumber that the chef said was an especially sweet variety that she'd be sure to love, and they brought this beautiful array of green & red veggies on a fancy rectangular plate for my tot - not that I'd let her have the porcelain plate for one second knowing it'd end up on the floor, but still, it's the thought that counts and it was a very thoughtful thought - I thought! (Heehee, ok, moving on). It seems like there was some disparity on the Sangria - one diner said it wasn't so hot, while another said the Watermelon Sangria was great. So I guess that's your gamble. All in all, I'd say this was a successful selection and I'd love to go again - maybe on a cool fall night. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. What do you think?
