“We knew from our first meal at Scenic View that it would be a favorite. Our family of four went on a summer Saturday at around 11am and, while there were definitely plenty of people there, we were surprised that it wasn't busier. We sat inside but could have happily eaten outdoors and may do that next time we visit. I wouldn't recommend eating here if you are in any sort of a hurry as the food did take quite a while to come out of the kitchen, but it was absolutely worth the wait.
We ordered generously, including the way better than expected fried pickles and very good spinach and artichoke dip. Both came out super hot and very fresh and were way better than what we get at most places around Bloomington. My mother ordered a crock of the French onion soup and was surprised to receive such a large portion of great quality soup. All of our entrees were prepared perfectly and just much better than we expected, including breakfast, sandwiches, and burgers. Two of us are vegetarians, and we loved having multiple menu options to pick from rather than the usual one menu item (or the classic salad and fries combo).
This restaurant could easily coast on average food due to its great location, but instead they really seem to take pride in putting out a great meal. It wasn't a cheap meal, but every dish was generously portioned, freshly prepared, and really worth the price. We'll be happy to be repeat customers.“
