Most Disliked
While Don's Bistro has a lot to celebrate, there's always room for improvement. A few patrons have pointed out that certain staff members need to enhance their customer service skills, particularly with a smile or a warmer greeting. Memorably, one guest even mentioned that not every interaction felt as friendly as they hoped.
Another common complaint revolves around inconsistency in preparation time during busier hours, which can be particularly challenging for those with limited time to eat. While most commend the food quality, a handful of diners mentioned that certain dishes could use more seasoning or a thoughtful upgrade to match the excellence of other menu items. Addressing these concerns could elevate the overall dining experience even further.

My experience with the food crew today was exceptional. The individual who took my order was courteous and patient. The food was excellent, consisting of BBQ pork nachos, a buffalo chicken wrap, and grilled cheeses. I was particularly pleased that they prepared the order efficiently, allowing me to return to labor and delivery with food for wife after giving birth. I will definitely return for another meal during my next visit.

Don's Bistro inside OSF was a go-to for lunches. Most of the employees were nice, listened, and even made suggestions. One or two need to smile, and be courteous, not just grunt a response. The food is delicious.

I grew up in an Italian family with no shortage of great Italian cooks. I ate some of the best Italian beef I've had in my life today at Don's Bistro---dreaming about it now! My friend and I stopped in for nachos today while visiting a friend at OSF hospital. Nachos were topped with cheese and Italian beef, and served by 2 really nice young men, both "on the ball" and attentive to great service. They really listened to their customers, and served with a smile. As my friend and I left the hospital at the end of the visit with our friend, we got 2 Italian beef sandwiches for supper. Outstanding beef!
