Bidwell Restaurant

Had not been to Union market. Decided to try Bidwell for lunch as it offered comfy and quiet seating. Menu looked intriguing. Liz was our server on a late Wed afternoon. The place was not busy. Eventually, Liz sauntered over to take our order. We decided on two pizzas. One with charcoal crust. Another with veggie crust. Ice tea was easy to order. My Mom wanted a cocktail that’s not typical. At first she was told no, they don’t have amaretto (what’s that she asked). Then came back saying had something similar. Pizzas arrived. We were sat at a small two top table by window. Odd, no room on very small table. and this place had lots of other tables available. Alas.. hold your plate in your lap to eat. Liz never came back. Now, she’s bartending? Flirting and taking with all the people over there. And if is was the bartender, she doesn’t know how to make drinks or what’s stocked behind the bar. No drink refill offer. I had to get up to get a box. Mind you. The bar area is right in front of our table! Charcoal pizza was terrific. But not worthy enough to come back just to have again. That veggie crusted thing called a pizza was beyond nasty. And we like cauliflower crust and other non- gluten pizzas. Had to go back to bar to get check and pay. Liz wasn’t even bothered that her guest had to find her. Other people that I guess do work there as I saw many walking around and looking busy. So, why did she need to be behind the bar ignoring the floor? So, it’s a comfy place to grab a beer. Ideally at the bar if you value your time.

Delicious food with gluten free options! Service was great! We waited a bit too long for the check, but everyone was so nice! Will definitely come back again!
