When you enter The Big Easy Bistro, a recently opened bistro in downtown Smithfield, you feel you have stepped off the streets of New Orleans' French Quarter. Seating is cozy, but private, in the main dining room and bar areas. The entire 2nd floor is available for dining or can be reserved for parties or group meetings, seating up to 30 people. The walls are covered with hand painted murals depicting scenes of the Garden District and an operable garden fountain stands at the top of the stairs. The decorator has brought in the real feel of New Orleans with touches of Mardi Gras, Jazz and Blues, throughout the decor. The food is served in portions that allow you to savor the flavor of each dish. Service was provided in a timely manner and I loved the smoked flavor of my entree. I highly recommend the bistro as a place where the ambiance invites you in for a relaxng dinner and evening with friends. more

We dined at The Big Easy for the first time on Friday night. The food was excellent, and the service was very adequate. The decor was "New Orleans", and the staff was helpful and friendly. We will recommend the restaurant to friends and will return. more

If you like New Orleans, you will LOVE Big Easy Bistro. We went for the first time Friday night. When we walked in, we thought we were on Bourbon Street. The chef prepared to perfection the dishes our party of 4 enjoyed. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the ambience is wonderful. They have live music sometimes. We were there early and the musician had not started so we cannot evaluate that. Big Easy Bistro is a new restaurant and this was our first time dining there. We will definitely return. Pros: The quality of the food and the price. There is a free parking lot across the street. Cons: The restaurant is too small for large groups. more
