    For our wedding in August, we booked the Burrata Rooftop Bistro at the Holiday Inn Express Grand Island for an afterparty, paying for food and bar service with two bartenders and indoor/outdoor seating. After months of planning, a site tour, food menu and clear communication, what was meant to be a joyous conclusion to our wedding day turned into a complete disaster due to the mismanagement and unprofessionalism of the restaurant staff. We informed the restaurant in advance that the first shuttle from our wedding venue would arrive around 10:15 PM. Live music was scheduled earlier in the evening, and we were assured our private party would transition smoothly afterward. Instead, when we arrived, we were met with chaos. The lead staff member, Tanya, outright refused to accommodate our group, claiming the General Manager instructed her to close by 11 PM--despite our booking being confirmed. Tanya even threatened to call law enforcement if we stayed. Many of our guests had planned their evening around attending this afterparty, knowing late-night transportation options in the area are limited. To have the event canceled upon arrival when we had 50 people standing there hungry and ready for the event was absolutely devastating. We tried to address the situation, I even reviewed with Tanya the reservation details on her phone, which confirmed our scheduled arrival time from 10:15 PM to midnight. When I took a photo of her phone screen as it confirmed as proof she had the details, she quickly pulled her phone away and refused to honor the agreement. Tanya escalated the situation further by yelling at guests, flipping off a patron not associated with the wedding party, and complaining to others earlier in the night that she "didn't want to work this party" and was "hoping we wouldn't show up." And counting down the minutes to when she didn't have to serve us. She bizarrely claimed the party was only booked during hours of operation to which last call was @10:30 and closing @11- which was not the case- why would anyone spend hundreds of dollars for not even two hours, with other patrons there, and with no food or drinks included, with a last call for a time occurring before second shuttle would have even arrived... To make matters worse, Tanya falsely claimed the restaurant had to reimburse an "entire floor of hotel rooms due to noise complaints", even though our party had just arrived, and there was no music or noise on our end. If complaints were made, they were likely related to the live music held earlier in the evening, not our group. While we received a refund for the afterparty fee, we have yet to see promised reimbursements for our room, and there has been no meaningful apology or accountability from the restaurant or hotel management at that location. A regional manager briefly reached out saying he was going to address this but then stopped responding entirely until saying a couple weeks later he had left the organization and could not help anymore but thought the room was reimbursed- which it has not. Tanya's behavior was completely unacceptable and unprofessional. She ruined what should have been a celebratory event for us and our guests. The other bartender was the only bright spot, remaining professional and sympathetic despite the chaos. This experience left us and our guests stunned. We strongly urge anyone considering the Burrata Rooftop Bistro for an event to reconsider. The mismanagement, lack of care, and outright disrespect we encountered were inexcusable. I hesitated to even post this review, however, feel I have given them ample time to address my concerns and they have not. I additionally have Photo evidence that includes the reservation details from Tanya's phone, along with her flipping off and screaming at a patron.

    Steak "Panini" Sandwich

    I visited the Burrata Rooftop Bistro while visiting with friends who were staying at the adjoining Holiday Inn Express. The staff of the Bistro were very pleasant and gracious. The seating room was clean but space in furnishings. The chairs for guest were an industrial steel and felt uncomfortable and undersized for all in our party regardless if they were plus sized or petite. The largest of the detractors however was the moderately priced food. While it was not expensive, it also was far less than flavorful. I had a steak panini which was served on what looked like toasted white bread with some butter and parsley added to the exterior. It was evident (and later confirmed by staff) that the ingredients were preprocessed and used directly from the package. The shaved "steak" used in the panini and also ordered steak salad looked and tasted as if it was similar to the old product called Steak-ums. The onion rings, when asked if homemade, were frozen and confirmed to come from a bag. Unfortunately for visitors, there are not many choices for eating while staying at this hotel so this subpart establishment says in business without needing to improve their menu.

    Tried this place inside the Holiday Inn at Grand Islland for the first time and caught some friends playing some music on Friday night here. The way it was setup as of April 2021 was a bar with no real food/drink menu, but one bartender telling you what's on the menu. As far as food - it's a pizza they make in their large wood fired oven. $15 each for a generous personal size, this is what I had and shared and found it delicious! It was very crispy. The bartender apologized it took so long to come out because apparently the first one got burnt and she was proactive in making us a second. It made the experience a little stressful waiting for so long since I was in a little bit of a time crunch, but the taste and the sweet sauce of the pie more than made up for it. There's also a gorgeous rooftop view and some great lounge furniture. It was a little chilly to be outside this particular day, but I went out and scoped it out and think it'd be a super cool place to return!

    Staying in the hotel and wanted a night time snack. Ordered the pretzels and the artichoke dip. Both were excellent. Artichoke dip was creamy and flavorful. Paired nicely with the tortilla chips. The pretzels were the real deal though. Covered in butter and garlic seasonings they were warm and fluffy Just everything you want in a warm pretzel. The beer cheese is crave worthy. Wish I knew what beer they used because I'd try to make it myself. Even better when using the tortilla chips in the cheese! Cool small bar would be great to catch a game. Beautiful night view as well.

    The location betrays the quality of the food. As a hotel guest it was super convenient. Stuffed banana peppers and pizza were so fresh and clearly from scratch. Nice beer selection from their neighbors at Southern Tier and Ellicottville Brewing. The service from Cassie was impeccable. A diamond in the rough in my opinion.

    Great atmosphere, very different than any other place on GI. Cozy bar inside, great meeting and party space on the outside.
