One of the worst dining experierince ever! I was at the restaurant with 7 friends including my husband on New Years Eve 2005. We ordered several items to share (which is the theme of the restaurant) among our orders were two of their grilled sirloin steaks with chimichurri sauce. When asked for one of the plates to be prepared medium well (not a fan of rare meat) the food serve rolled her eyes and then walked away only to return a few minutes later to inform me the chief refuses to cook my order medium well! Astonishing! I did not ask for something off the menu or for something to be specially prepared, I ask for steak cooked medium well yet was treated horribly. I have eaten in some of the finest restaurants around the world and I have never experienced anything quite like Biggs, The Chief should remember that he is preparing the food for customers and not joining them for dinner. Save you dinning experience for restaurants who know how to treat their guests, Briggs fails miserably! Vargagirl
