Reviews for Hemispheres Bistro in Bettendorf, IA
We stopped in for a few drinks and appetizer. The wine selection is very good. The Smoked Chicken Nachos were fantastic!! ... UPDATE - We revisited in Sept 2022 and the Smoked Chicken Nachos were horrible!! Way too much melted cheese was glopped on thechips that u lost the taste of the fresh tomatoes and grilled corn. And it made the chips mushy and was a mess to eat. Thenachos no longer resemble the picture from before. Downgrading from a 5 star to a 1 star it was so bad! Read more
Get the duck!!! It?s an appetizer. Soooo delicious!! Everything was spectacular. Wish I took more pictures of everyone?s food.... Oh!! And the risotto! Mmmm Read more
Easily one of the best meals I have had anywhere in the states, or anywhere. Let?s start from the beginning- a perfect mezcal... cocktail with a tejan rim. The sourness of the lime could not be a more perfect complement to the smokiness of the mezcal.Followed it with the warm spinach salad, served with full thick slices of bacon, deconstructed, crumbled feta and pomegranateseed, and a scallion dressing. This is easily one of the best apps with an exquisite flavor. I had a hanging tender steak, rare,with a bordelaise. In the Midwest, a perfect bordelaise (red wine sauce); I?m floored. They have a wonderful wine list and theBordeaux provided the match. Roasted fingerlings and grilled broccolini. There cannot be a better restaurant in the area- it?sjust not possible. Many items to choose from. And you choose your own ?finish? and two sides. This is a must visit for any foodlover, and worth driving for hours, or rerouting in order to experience. And, great service. Read more

My wife and I visited here for the first time on May 10, 2017 for lunch, and we were extremely satisfied with our meals and the... service. We had previously visited here when it was Red Crow Grille, and the atmosphere is very familiar (upscale). My wifeordered the Mediterranean flatbread, and I ordered the Banh Mi (ribeye sandwich), and both were excellent! The flatbread, inparticular, is full of flavor and probably the best flatbread we've had. The service was fantastic, but it wasn't very busywhen we came at 11:30am. We will definitely be visiting again! UPDATE: February 10, 2019 (Dinner) My wife when I came backfor dinner on a Saturday evening and had an extraordinary meal. We shared an appetizer (tandoori chicken), main course (beeftenderloin with huckleberry finishing), and dessert (vanilla bean cheesecake that was absolutely stunning). All were very goodand prepared exquisitely. The service was also very good. Read more
Probably my favorite place to eat in the Quad Cities. Wait staff is always friendly and professional , the food is always cooked... very well and the sauces are outstanding. The lamb shank is fantastic and probably my favorite on the menu. The short ribsare always tender and juicy. It's fine dining without the extreme fine dining price tag. Affordable for a nice night out. Read more
I can't wait to go back! The food, the service, the atmosphere, I don't know what I liked most. It's in such a elegant small... setting which makes it perfect for dates or small parties. I highly recommend trying this place out! Read more
