Six weeks ago I contacted Big O to see if they were the right spot to have our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at. They assured me that 30 people for dinner would be no problem and that they had had many events there. Four weeks ago we went there for lunch, spoke with the manager and he again assured us it was all a go. They even showed us where they would put our tables together. I offered a deposit and he said no, to just contact them a couple of weeks before to give him the date and time. I called two nights ago with two weeks to go before the wedding and the owner wouldn't talk to me and said he would call me a "in a couple of days". Very nervous I called again the next day only to have him still refuse to speak with me, but got a message that they couldn't handle 30 people there! What an unethical restaurant! Think twice before you patronize this place! Definitely don't make plans around them!

There is no better urban dining experience than the Big O's. It is one of those center-of-the-universe places that once you experience will become one of your favorites...especially if you're a garlic fan.
