We were so lucky and blessed to have Tony and bijou bistro cater our wedding. My now husband has severe food allergies. When we met with Tony, he immediately put us at ease and comforted us with his attentiveness to details. Communication may have been difficult at times but he was very transparent with his schedule and how he was juggling both catering and the restaurant. We are so thankful for the great food, display and professionalism Tony and his staff provided.

Bijou Bistro was a guest favorite! The food was creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was smooth, professional, and perfectly timed with the flow of the evening. They truly elevated the cocktail hour and wedding experience. We'd be honored to work alongside them again!

Always an amazing experience at Bijou. New atmosphere is very nice! My favorite place in Eau Claire to eat, rivals a Manhattan NYC restaurant. Make sure to get a reservation, while walkin service is possible sometimes - most of the time it’s full.

Visited July 3rd. Service was very friendly. A little disappointment in their bourbon selection but we all found something we liked. Started with the crab Rangoon dip which was excellent— personally would skip the chips and serve with the bread but that is just personal preference, it’s nice that they had both options for those who want the crunch. We all had Caesar salads and they were good. Not over dressed which was appreciated.
We thought maybe something was off with my husbands order but since it was our first time, we didn’t say anything because we weren’t sure… I recently saw someone else post a photo in a Facebook group of the same meal he ordered and now I’m sure my husbands meal wasn’t correct. He ordered the blue cheese tenderloin- it came cut in half, two small pieces and seemed over done and had no blue cheese/veg on top. We’ve heard nothing but good things so must have been an off night. He still said it tasted alright but wasn’t what he was expecting based on the menu description/cost. My scallop dish was great, pasta cooked perfectly and the scallops were cooked well although I do prefer more of a sear on them. Our friend we were with had the lamb and it was definitely the best lamb I have ever tried. We would try them again.

So. I called today for reservations for valentines day. Like every other top quality restaurant in EC that I called they said they are way past capacity for the night. What amazing me is the that they asked for my name and said that they would call me if a reservation fell through. I know it won’t happen because they have amazing service and food but it was the honest service that I truly appreciate. I do not anticipate that we will get to experience Bijou on the 14th but I do know that their owner and staff will go above and beyond to make everyone’s experience extremely exceptional just based in the 2 minute conversation I had today!

This was a very unique experience for someone who has never dined in a smaller bistro-style atmosphere before. Myself and 8 others had reservations for a friend’s birthday, so a pretty big table considering the size of the place. Kristen was a phenomenal waitress considering she waited every smaller table in there PLUS our group. Drinks were never empty for long, amount of time between courses was appropriate, and she never seemed rushed. Now the food, OMG! I’ve heard good reviews by people on Facebook and such, but Chef Tony is AMAZING! Every one of us devoured our appetizers, and practically licked our entree plates clean. I 100% recommend making a reservation and treating yourself to a night out here. It’s not any more expensive than any other nicer joint in town.

Tony at Bijou catered our wedding, and I cannot say enough good things about it - the food was delicious (many people told me they ate WAY too much butternut squash ravioli), the service was perfect, and everything in the planning process was so smooth. Tony went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed, that our guests with dietary restrictions were taken care of, and that above all my husband and I had a beautiful wedding day. I'd recommend Bijou catering to all of my friends, family, and acquaintances.

We also love going to the tasting room/ restaurant. It's the perfect place for a nice date night out or a celebration, and I can guarantee it will be where we celebrate many anniversaries reflecting on the beautiful food Tony made for us on our wedding day.

This review is for Tony Dragonowski and his catering. My husband and I reached out to Tony to cater our wedding more than 6 months prior to our scheduled wedding date at the end of July. We found working with Tony to be incredibly frustrating and unacceptable when communicating in the months leading up to our wedding. Weeks would go by without any communication or follow up from Tony regarding the menu, logistics, etc. My husband and I had many conversations in which we debated cancelling for fear of how the service would actually be, given the complete lack of communication on Tony's part. The only reason we did not cancel is because he came recommended by people in the area and they assured us that things would be okay come the day of the wedding. Well, during the day of the wedding after he delivered our food, we heated each of the dishes with the chafer heating elements (per Tony's instruction) for over an hour and when we went to eat them, all the dishes were cold. We spent the next hour rotating each dish into the ovens in my husband's parents' home while everybody waited. It was a disaster. What made all of this even more frustrating is that this was the most expensive part of our wedding and we both felt like we just lit all that money on fire given how it turned out. It goes without saying that most of the food was wasted because it was cold and not good.

I should also note that before writing this review we emailed Tony privately to see what he had to say. Rather than take responsibility for the poor communication and poor service the day of the wedding, he proceeded to make excuses and claimed that he had given instructions to people in our wedding party to heat the food in the oven prior to serving it. We were suspicious of this claim and so we spoke to everyone that Tony had interacted with and NONE of them said they were told to put the food in the oven prior to serving. We found this extremely hurtful that he would proceed to lie to us after everything that had happened. It was like adding insult to injury, hence why we are writing this review.

We have never left a negative review -- especially for a small business -- but given the complete failure of service and execution we feel compelled to warn others of our experience lest they have something similar happen to them.

Worth the 2 hour drive for a Valentines Day dinner. We are florists/homesteaders who live in a very rural part of WI. We LOVE exploring fine dinning. Dinning options around us almost don’t exist so to celebrate the day of love before our craziness in the flower shop hits, we took a drive. 10/10 for ambiance, love the intimate dining room. 10/10 for service! Both our servers were lovely and attentive. 10/10 for chef options. We had the bacon wrapped apps and they were done perfectly, with a delightful teriyaki sauce. The bijou salad before our entrees were also fabulous, though the portions were small for a salad that doesn’t come with a pricey entre. Portion size is the only suggestion I have for the place based on price point. The salad was wonderful, but for the size, we would say it should have been part of the entree. 8/10 for portion size. Our entrees were also just slightly smaller than expected. Flavors, again, fantastic!!! We got the salmon with pesto which had such a great fresh flavor. The second dish was the lobster ravioli. Delish… again portion size was my only surprise here. Desserts 10/10 cheesecake and the crème brûlée, both lovely! Thank you for a pleasant and delicious Valentine’s dinner, Bijou!

I called and left a message (as directed on their website) for my anniversary dinner reservations a month or so ahead of time. I hadn't heard back so I called again to confirm a week later, leaving another message. The following day I heard back from Tony confirming it. When my husband and I arrived for our reservation- 30 minutes past the opening time posted on their door and here on Google- the restaurant was dark and closed. There wasn't anything posted on their door or their Facebook page stating any unusual circumstances. I called and left a message that we were there for our reservation and never heard back. The restaurant didn't have any signs of being permanently closed... the fall planters out front looked well taken care of. My husband and I ended up finding a different restaurant nearby but were left confused and disappointed. Luckily the setback didn't end up impacting getting to our next destination on time.

Bijou Catering catered our wedding earlier this year and I have nothing but positive things to say. Our previous caterer canceled on us a couple months before the big date and Tony worked very hard to make the catering the last of our worries. Anything that came up along the way Tony worked with us to resolve as soon as possible and painlessly.

We had heard some great things about this place so we thought we'd try it out. Very disappointed, for three reasons.
1. There were only 2 tables seated when we got there, a total of 4 people. Yet we waited to be seated an awkwardly long time while standing a few feet from one of the tables. They kept staring at us like we were interrupting them, but it was the only place to wait.
2. The food. Not that great. For a supposedly up and coming place, boasting about highend elegant meals, I could make a better dinner in my kitchen. Wanted to try the veal, ya big mistake. It was overly salty, tough and chewy. Reminded me of day old food that was microwaved to warm it up.
3. Finally our waiter. He was nice enough and paid attention to our needs until more customers arrived. Now a total of 5 tables seated (10 people for 2 wait staff), we didn't see him again until it was time to pay the check. AND while he was waiting on the table next to us we overheard food options and explanations that were not mentioned to us. He didn't even notice that my husband and I switched meals.
Definitely will not be going back. Sad, because I had high hopes for a romantic place to eat.
