Went to Big Grove Tavern for the first time. Granted it was on graduation night for U of I so it was packed and with a "special" menu. But you would expect excellent quality and service on such a night. Well we did not receive either. The salad ordered was to have bib lettuce and came with ice burg lettuce. When we said something to the waitress her comment was that she didn't let us know when ordering because no one had noticed yet. Someone needs to tell her that 9 out of 10 people won't say anything. They just leave. Disappointed. Also ordered a bottle of wine that was not available with the correct date. Food was good but not $30 entree good. Had to ask for salt and pepper and actually shared the pepper mill with another table. Quite unusual. There are a lot of dining options in and around the area. Do yourself a favor and find another location that offers a better value.
