Bistro Buchanan — Restaurant in Green Bay

Bistro Buchanan had an off night? Maybe, but I highly doubt it. From the moment I walked up to the hostess stand and was greeted with a blank stare (proper etiquette is to welcome the guests with a "hello" or "Good evening!") I began to second guess bringing our friends here. The rave reviews- I am skeptical & I noticed they also took over B&Ts reviews as well from a year ago+, sneaky. Abysmal service sums up our evening. The server needs training, no name given, no idea how long they have been open, no specials? No idea what they serve on the menu. Reason there are no lyonnaise potatoes? "The restaurant is so old, they didn't update the menu". Uh, ok. It took about 30 minutes for drinks and our order to be put in. Water glasses sat empty. There were literally 3-4 tables in the restaurant from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. on a Friday night. Consumers are figuring out there are better restaurants. The kitchen needs support, training and a chef to lead them. The bread was disappointment out of the gates- hard as a rock. Butter was adorable in flower shapes. We ordered 2 Black & Tan steaks and 2 Ribeye steaks. Not a single one was cooked properly. Two medium rare $50 steaks were med well at best. Two $44 Ribeyes were ordered medium rare- at best medium, leaning to medium well. The server asked if we had feedback for the chef- I mentioned the steaks- she said "oh, ok" and ran off. Really? We just finished our steaks and gladly left- never to return or recommend to others. We were hoping this new restaurant would be our new favorite. It clearly missed the mark at every service level opportunity from entry greeting to departure. The best part was the atmosphere- although seating tables under AC vents will surely cool off the food quicker- maybe more strategic table placement would help. What a shame for the owners & investment they made- your staff is not...

I had the pleasure of dining at the Black and Tan Grille the other night, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I started with a delicious Caesar Salad that was perfectly dressed and full of flavor.

For my main course, I had the grilled salmon, which was an absolute delight. The pineapple black bean salsa added a unique and delightful twist, and the twisted arugula over forbidden black rice was a perfect complement. The flavors were a harmonious symphony on my taste buds, and the presentation was impeccable.

I couldn't help but save room for dessert, and it did not disappoint. The dessert was the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal.

The service at Black and Tan Grille was outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure that every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch. I want to extend my compliments to Chef Kendra for crafting such a memorable meal.

Overall, I highly recommend Black and Tan Grille for a memorable dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch, and I can't wait to return for another...

I’m kind of surprised by the 5 star reviews. My husband and I ate there recently on a Friday night. We were worried about the dress code being strict and that we weren’t dressed appropriately, until we saw the hostess. She had a wrinkled flannel shirt on, baggy pants of some sort and platform chunky shoes. Our waiter was clumsy and awkward and forgot to bring a few things that we asked for, not because they were busy as there were very few people there that night at 6:30. As we were sitting there, we witnessed four women being seated and 15 minutes later they all got up and left. Not sure why. The food was mediocre. My peppercorn steak tasted like burnt pepper. And all these reviews that said Chef Kendra came to their table, leaves me perplexed. The only time we saw Chef Kendra, is when she ran to the hostess station because the hostess mysteriously disappeared. The $175 spent there, was definitely...
