From the greeting at the door to the attentive service and fabulous food, we were very much impressed. The restaurant was very busy, so a little noisy. We had wonderful bay views from our window table. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and amusing and I liked we weren't rushed. We can recommend for a pleasurable dining experience.

Big Pig Little Pig was amazing. The food was fresh, delicious and well priced. Good selection of beers on tap. The process to order at the counter was a bit challenging and the specials weren't clear. We will definitely be back. We had a group of 5 people and we all loved the food.
