My family and I went here for dinner. We are a family 5 and it was really family-friendly. They offered a highchair for our 1 yr old.
Very calm atmosphere and helpful staff. The menu had a smaller selection, but I'm sure you can find an option to eat. We didn't feel rushed and the server checked on us often.

Had a great meal here while visiting the area. Kate was a pleasure. Alcohol is currently off the menu, but should be back soon once their liquor license gets sorted out. The only down side was they ran out of fries and were waiting on a delivery when I was there, so they offered mozzarella sticks instead of fries at no additional charge. Smash burger was flavorful and juicy...will definitely be back.

This place is a gem I refuse to give up on. I can see they are struggling and so we support them the best we can. The food has never been an issue. It's always been delicious. They are always understaffed though. Sucks to watch this happen with yet another potentially awesome spot in Peoria. The cycle of cutting staff to manage low sales eventually resulting in poor customer service and poorer sales. It definitely needs investment to up staff and marketing while establishing it's own customer base but the place itself is really nice, they have a great draft beer selection, great food and when the staff actually has time to engage are really friendly. I hope they can rally together and find a way to make it. So much potential. And who ever the petite blonde girl is, that has been there almost every time we've gone, deserves a medal. She definitely cares and I can't say that about some of the other staff we've encountered. Employees like her are this places only shot at making it. Over all we like this place and would suggest you give it a try. With some local support they could be great.

The place was clean. We had 2 apps both fresh breaded and not from a frozen bag. Dinner was a smash burger nice and juicy and the grilled chicken sandwich was delicious. The chicken had great flavor. Will totally go back when we are in town.

Terrible service. I understand being busy and understaffed, but it would be nice to have some kind of communication. We were seated and waited 30 minutes without water or knowing who was serving us. We watched “workers” with zero sense of urgency or care. We were completely ignored. I was part of a small group on a Saturday evening- but we all walked out. I can’t imagine running a business this way. At the very least: Try this cool idea called COMMUNICATION, where maybe you could let people know what’s going on or how long to expect to wait. Won’t be coming back and do not recommend

I called and made a reservation which was not confirmed when arrived and after told it would be a 15/20 minute wait, was actually a 40-60 minute wait. The hostesses took my order over the phone, I checked in 39 minutes later and the order was never placed. she then blamed the kitchen when it was clearly her fault. 0/10 would not reccomend

Overall mediocre experience, the food alone was something could have made better at home not to mention the fact the kitchen staff were smoking in the kitchen and walked out with a BLUNT! Do not recommend unless you'd like a contact high and mediocre food

I couldn't wait to share my thoughts about my experiences. Been coming here regular for the past month... mostly because of the OUTSTANDING service I receive from waitress Rocky. She's the best and look forward to many future visits... Thank you Rocky!!

The staff stands outside the front door smoking more than they're inside working.

It was the hotel restaurant, so we went twice. Once for dinner and once for breakfast. The breakfast was terrible - 1 star. We got there in the middle of it, and the buffet was picked over. The eggs were cold and dry. The coffee was terrible. The only thing that was any good was fresh fruit. $15 per person for that made me wish we had stayed at the Embassy Suites, where they have a good breakfast bar that is included in the room.

The night before we had dinner. The only reason for the second star is that my daughter loved her ribs special, and it was a good value. They got my order wrong. I ordered nachos and they brought me tacos. They were bland and watery. They reduced the price of the meal because of the mistake. But then they brought me a beer I didn't order - and then charged me for it.

Great food and great service. It was a nice place to stop by and check out while exploring Peoria. The ribs were super tender and the fries were hot and crispy. 😋 Definitely enjoyed the martinis and Moscow Mule. 🌟
