New American Restaurants in Bloomington, IN

“My time at michael’s uptown Café was wonderful very chill and elegant my food was so delicious and the crème brûlée to die for overall It’s an amazing restaurant to enjoy an amazing meal and chill with friends and family“

“I got 3 of their crunchy gyros, some feta fries, and a large Mediterranean dip for my family and I while we were visiting Bloomington. We don't have a lot of Greek food up where we are, save for King Gyros, so this was a great treat. Everything was incredibly flavorful, the gyro meat was thick and tasty, and the dip lasted us several days. We will be coming again, if we're ever in town!“

“Beautiful, spacious modern decor. Impressed by the esthetic from the moment of entering. Food was excellent. Got the baby beet salad. Very good, but I think the beets (fewer perhaps) should’ve been chopped into smaller pieces with more strawberries and greenery. Very filling. I had the roasted eggplant for my entree. Wonderfully seasoned, served over a bed of white rice. I would definitely get it again. My desert choice was the blueberry cheesecake. Scrumptious! The staff was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back. Nice outdoor patio area as well. Thumbs up!“

“Five stars Plus for the staff at Crazy Horse today! My wife and I were having lunch and I witnessed a family come in with their big Golden Retriever and they immediately accommodated them with a nice big table on the patio and without a second someone said I'll run and get the dog dish and some water for the sweet dog! So great to see such attentiveness to a customer's needs. We will be back again soon!“

“Wonderful dining experience. Exceptional service, meal ,and libations.“

“Pretty impressed! Decided to come here for Saturday lunch with my family and made a reservation online at the last minute, but we would have been able to get in without. Without the patio open though, I can see it filling up easily. The atmosphere is fun (board games!) and bright but somewhat industrial with the distillery next door. The staff was friendly and very enthusiastic but just a little overbearing for me. The samples they brought around of two of their spirits (a gin and amaro) were very good and much appreciated.
As appealing as the cocktails sounded, I didn't feel like drinking, so I got the Last Call mocktail. I couldn't pick up much 5 spice, but it was still a pleasant and refreshing light drink. I had a sip of my parents' old fashioned and Smokin' in the Girls' Room, and those were both really good - I was really into the lapsang souchong tea-infused rum in the Smokin' in the Girls' Room and would've ordered it for myself if I'd been drinking.
To eat, I had a mushroom melt (the veganized version with vegan cheese) with the OMG fries. I really liked the sandwich; I loved the giardiniera and the jus, and you usually can't get that sort of thing in a vegetarian or vegan sandwich, so I was really happy to have it here and thought it was done well. The OMG fries were also really good. I don't like fries if they're plain, but these were heavily seasoned with a delicious spice blend. The vegan version of the fries omits the truffle aioli that they normally come with, but they were plenty flavorful with just ketchup. We shared a Thai tea creme brulee for dessert. I am crazy about Thai tea so I expected to like this, and it was everything I hoped for. The tea flavour was nice and strong, and the tapioca pearls were a nice little enhancement.
They do an auto-gratuity of 20% no matter the party size, which I'm not completely opposed to, but I think if you're doing that you at least need to have a note on the menu rather than have the waiter tell you as they're giving you the bill, or better (in my opinion) to just raise the prices by 20% and sell yourself as a no-tipping restaurant. But it wasn't a huge deal in this situation; our waitress was good and we would've left a good tip anyway.“

“Absolutely unique and wonderful. Friendly service.“

“Been there a lot of times all items are 👍“

“Went for Lunch by recommendation of several friends and the Chef himself. Went in with open mind and was blown away by the atmosphere. I sat at the bar and ordered. Bartender was great and knowledgeable about the items and listed the great options. I ordered a drink and talked about trying something new substitute as an ingredient wasn't available. He made a fantastic drink I'd order again. Bob Ross painting special on the TV was top notch aswell.“

“One of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my life!“
