My husband and I went out for dinner in downtown Champaign and decided to try Big Grove Tavern. This was only the second time I had been there, but the first experience wasn't memorable so we decided to try it again. I will say the service was excellent throughout our meal and is what pushed my rating from two stars to three. We started with a small portion of popcorn at our table. I do not recall what it was flavored with, but I didn't care for it. After looking over the menu, I ordered the duck confit curry and my husband ordered a steak with cheesy grits as well as three deviled eggs as an appetizer. Then we both had water to drink. The waitress did a wonderful job keeping our water glasses full. The eggs came out first and we were excited to see the crisp and red dollop on top. Unfortunately it was not a delicious cheese crisp or anything so tasty, it was simply crispy bread that was rather flavorless. The egg itself was fine and the presentation was pretty, but I wasn't wowed or impressed with the taste as I can make these at home. I would not order them again. When our meal came out everything looked fantastic. When I started my dish, the curry was spicy and flavorful with surprisingly tasty brussel sprouts mixed into the veggies. It was the highlight of the night by far. I also stole a couple bites of the cheesy grits and they were good as well. What wasn't the best was the fantastic looking steak was not cooked properly. It came out quite rare even though he had ordered it cooked to medium temperature and while he ate it and did not complain, it was far too red for me and I did not try it. I did take a bite of his squash vegetables mixture and it was steamed but again lacked flavor. All in all it was a pleasant night out in a nice restaurant with a cool decor, but unless invited by friends I don't know that I would go back.
