As information changes daily, you may be concerned about how safe it might be to order from restaurants during this time. Below are two great resources to check out:

Explore St. Louis came up with some guidelines for both restaurants and their guests from Explore St. Louis.
Read them here.

Serious Eats, a restaurant industry publication, came up with a very extensive and informational article about the virus, contamination, spread, and food safety. Read the article here.

Attention to our most important people (you):

Like all other restaurants in the St. Louis area, our dining room is officially closed as of Thursday March 19th.  Since we had to temporarily layoff about 75% of our extremely talented and loyal staff, we have been working hard to figure out a plan to keep the doors open as the COVID-19 situation evolves. By revamping and expanding our capabilities, as well as improving our packaging and procedures, we will be doing our best to give you the full Big Sky experience at home (minus the faces of Jim, Darlene, etc.).

Which is why are excited to announce our new “Farm to Curbside” menu! Available Tuesday-Sunday from 11:30 am – 8 pm, it has all of the local and sustainable favorites you love for takeout and curbside pickup. There are options for small and larger portions and family style meals that we hope offers you convenience and comfort during this very stressful time. We have also tried to lower a price here and there to encourage a little more adventure in your choice.  You can’t eat pizza and Chinese EVERY night!

Our goal is to improve our carryout sales over the next several weeks in stages to achieve a level of business that would support bringing our staff back as soon as possible. We are all optimistic that we can work through this and find rewards on the other side because our staff and management have a truly shared mission of food, wine and hospitality.  

We’re so thankful for your support and continued trust in this often-surreal time.  We are especially grateful to those regulars who have helped get us to 28 years of service. We are encouraged by the positive response as we all work together to ensure our staff and customers remain healthy.  Please continue to let us know how we’re doing. Hopefully you can bring/drag Big Sky’s Farm to Curbside 2.0 into the future. We look forward to staying 6 feet away from you at curbside pickup, and seeing you face to face soon.
​
May health be with you,
Tim, Dominic and the Big Sky Café Staff

For almost 30 years, we have been proud of not only our local and sustainable menu and high-quality hospitality experience, but also of our responsible and ethical business practices. Caring for our surrounding community and the planet is part of our mission, and that includes the health and safety of our employees and guests. We will be doing our best to adapt to changing circumstances as the current flu season as well as the COVID-19 virus situation evolves. After reviewing our standard practices, we are focusing on the following:

• We never have more than 10 people in the building at any time.
• Our staff has increased the practice of washing hands above the regularly prescribed intervals as well as after contact with any individual. Gloves are also worn as much as possible.
• Staff members have also been instructed to stay home if they are ill, avoid touching their faces, and to cover all coughs and sneezes with their elbow and not their hands.
• We have increased our diligence in our regular sanitizing procedures including all common surface areas as at more frequent intervals with disinfecting wipes (this includes pens after use).
• Additional hand sanitizer stations and antibacterial wipes have been placed at the front door.
• We will continue to closely monitor our resources for updates to the current climate from the St. Louis County Health Department as well as the Missouri Restaurant Association.
• Please note that normally we steer towards more natural cleaners, but we have increased the power of cleaners and disinfecting solutions to meet this current situation.

If you have any questions or concerns about our procedures and policies, please call us at 314.962.5757.

Thank you for your support,

May is a month full of celebrations. And with a Big Sky Cafe gift certificate, you are never out of gift ideas!

Big Sky Cafe plans on turning "Wine Into Water" to help kick off World Water Week and bring attention to the need for clean drinking water in developing nations!

Just purchase a bottle of sustainable wine (marked with an 🅢) from our list for dinner during the designated days, and we will donate 20% to our adopted cause, charity:water.

Not interested in a bottle? Drop you spare change in the wine bottle by our front door, and we will match your donation by 20%! It only takes $30 to supply clean water for one person's lifetime!

Since 2009, Big Sky Cafe has been committed to the cause by raising enough money to help 520 people, see more info here.

​Please note: Sunday's BOGO special deal will not be valid on March 24th.
