Was a little early for reservation & offered a seat at the bar for the 3 of us. I was not impressed & should of waited for a table. I got the pot roast plate one of the house specialties but it was not up to par, the carrots were bland, cold and hard & the pot roast was warm at best with no flavor, gravy was cold & kinda hardened over the pot roast. I won't be back

This establishment must have been a very enjoyable place, at one time. More recently, it has slid into, being extremely overpriced an underwhelming! As with any business, management is key. To begin with the seating arrangements, lack imagination and crowding as many tables as possible in an area doesn't improve the aviance. It just makes it difficult to have an intimate dinner date, it elevates the noise level and makes it difficult to place your order with the server. My steak request was for a medium level of doneness. What I received was a bloody mess, which I immediately rejected. And then, after the initial waiting period from placing our orders, it took another 20 minutes, for the second attempt of producing the requested correction. I mean, tight seating; is when you have to physically touch other patrons, to rise from your table and maneuver apprehensively, through traffic. The price point for this less than acceptable meal, was over $70. I don't object to the amount, but I expect to be satisfied with the service and food. Thanks, but no thanks.

Tonight, had my birthday meal with my husband. We got a table by the fire place. The food and service were excellent. Mary Jo was our waitress and she was fabulous. She kept checking on us to make sure everything was fine and if we needed anything. My husband ordered the beef stroganoff which came with garlic bread and I ordered the chicken rolantine with baked potato. We loved them. We also had a salad with the Brittany dressing. Plus they gave us plenty of Ciabatta bread with butter. The complimentary birthday dessert was strawberry cheesecake. The food portions were a good size so we had leftovers to take home. Thank you to Jim’s Steak House for making my birthday so special.

Started dinner tonight with Oysters Rockefeller as an appetizer. Ordered Filet Mignon, medium rare, steak was served to me brown throughout. Next steak, center was blue...not sure, but was certain I heard it moo. Steak returned again. In the meantime, my baked potato was getting cold and my shrimp was back in the kitchen with my steak. By the time I received my steak (and the original cold shrimp) for the 3rd time my friend had finished eating. They did offer to bring me a new potato and fresh shrimp after I complained, but quite frankly, I had had enough, I shouldn't have had to ask. I ask for my check, and was presented a bill in full...no compensation, no free appetizer, nothing...... I paid my bill plus 20% without complaint and left, deciding then, that I would never be back. Expensive $300.00 lesson learned. Sad thing is, I chose to come here for my birthday. 🎂 😔
Don’t Eat Here…….I came here for dinner with my wife expecting an upscaled nice atmosphere unfortunately we did not experience that. We felt unwelcomed the entire time we were in the restaurant. Dennys has better service than this place does and the food is 10% of the cost. We sat around waiting for 20min for the check the waitress wouldn’t even look our way, i asked the bust-boy for my check. Another recent review that posted on here is pretty much the same experience we had.

The restaurant serves good food and offers a piano bar. The prices are on the high side but a salad and bread is included with entrees. What potential guests should know is that there is a painting of a naked lady on one of the back walls. You won’t see it until you are shown your table and then it may be too late to request a change. Keep this very important point foremost if you make a reservation as the person taking your request won’t bring it up. The restaurant puts the onus on the customer to make this advance request. There was no other table available or the staff would have moved us. If you want a take home box, be aware that your server will personally do that, maybe even right in front of you squeezed between those at your table!

Went for my father's birthday and it was absolutely fantastic. The steaks are perfection, my stuffed chicken breast in mushroom sauce was a peak culinary experience Shannon my waitress was Devine in her service. They made my dad's birthday special!

One of THE MOST incredible dinner experiences to be had in the area, I can't recommend it highly enough.
6 years ago my dad and I started going to Jim's on Monday. I moved to Bloomington to be his caretaker. He loved Jim's and enjoyed dinner in the bar every Monday. We became regulars. As soon as we walked in, our martinis were being made. Cannot say enough about the love we felt from everyone. Stopped in this last Monday. Dad's been gone a year. They're family. Cannot say enough about everyone here. This is exactly what you want from a local business.
