Bill Bateman's Bistro

Place is closed. Its under renovation and will be some other restaurant soon.

Due to limited dining option outside the security checkpoints, we find ourselves eating here more than most 2 star locations. The food has been good and could have earned another star, but the service and need for some renovations and upkeep prevent that from happening. Service is very slow even though the place has never been full when I've eaten there and I don't think I've seen more than 2 people working the main dining area. Compared to other airports BWI is lacking in the pre-security offerings, but this place will provide you with a decent bite and cold drink.

Going back over some photos, I appear to have forgotten to review this place. I'm not surprised. Forgettable. Two stars because of a few local brews on tap, and also by rating relative to what else is in BWI. I can't remember exactly what I had, but I'm not sure that anything else they serve is different.
