Les Bourgeois Vineyards

Whenever people ask me my favorite restaurant in Columbia, I alway tell them it's not in Columbia. It's in Rocheport. The Blufftop Bistro has a beautiful year round view of the Missouri river valley and one of the best chef's around. Lunch or dinner, it's worth the 15 minute drive. more

My husband and I visited this winery on the referral of an old friend and were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere, food, and wine were all spectacular. Best of all was the amazing view of the Missouri river. This is an absolute must if you are in the area. It's just outside of Columbia. We had a great dinner at their Bistro and although it was slightly pricey, it was an exquisite meal. We"ll be back soon!! more

I had not eaten at this place before so was looking forward to it very much. The food was great the day I ate there. I had the special which was a Quiche. But somewhere along the line I developed Salmonella poisoning, the next day I became violently ill with vomiting and diarrhea. I ran a 103 temperature for 2 days. The family finally took me to the ER where a culture was done. The culture takes 72 hours and when it came back it was definitely Salmonella. Of course the health department called since the ER has to report all food poisoning incidents. I had to fill out some papers. They said more than likely it was from the eggs in the Quiche. I do not know where I obtained the poisoning I can not be sure. But when I called the restaurant and told them about it they were very hateful with me and told me I could not prove where I got the poisoning, I was informed no one else had gotten sick that they knew of. I informed them I just wanted them to know so they could contact the egg supplier. I was not trying to get any thing out of them at all. I am not saying I got the Salmonella poisoning there but It sure was a bad case of it. more
