Best Chicken Carbonara you'll ever have. Tried it from multiple places and nothing compares. Hands down the best. Good atmosphere and great family that runs it.

I made a reservation two days in advance for Thanksgiving week to treat visiting family. The reservation was for 5 people at 7:00 PM (we arrived with 6). When booking, I asked about a front window table and was told it required a party of 8, though I’ve never seen that many seated there. I was also told it could be available if not reserved.
I work in Lima and specifically made the reservation for 7:00 PM, even calling twice to confirm. We arrived exactly at 7:00 PM and were immediately told by Susan that we were supposed to be there at 5:30. I calmly explained this was incorrect, but instead of checking, she argued with me and walked away.
When I approached her again, both front window tables were still empty and much of the restaurant was unoccupied. She again insisted we were late for a 5:30 reservation. When I asked if she wanted our business, she told us to leave.
This was extremely embarrassing in front of my family after I had spoken highly of the restaurant. We are local, ready to spend several hundred dollars, and were turned away while the restaurant was not busy. Mistakes happen, but arguing with customers and refusing to verify a reservation is unacceptable. We took our business elsewhere.

A sincere thank-you for such a pleasant café visit. The service was efficient and kind, the filter coffee was bright and aromatic, and the cinnamon roll was phenomenal. It’s the kind of place where you feel welcome the moment you walk in. I’ll be back and will recommend it to others.

This is my second time coming here. The first time was with family. The staff is always friendly and the food is always amazing. I am very fond of the chicken carbonara myself but I have tried the lamb and it is delicious as well. I'll probably get that next time. If you want to do something special with the loved one, this would be a good place to go it's also nice to go if you want to treat yourself to nice fancy meal.
I placed a pickup order for medium well lamb ribs... Got them rare. Also asked for a burnt more than well done burger. It came medium rare. The fries had no flavor either. Apparently you don't have actual cooks who knows the difference between levels of cooking times and temps. I can offer cooking classes for them if need be. Having to microwave your food after getting home to get it to the point of what you expected definitely isn't ideal. It would be great for you on your part to fix this. On the side note .. the timing and service was great. I did show up early to pickup and had a drink that was really good!
Get the Hemingway! It's a thick cut pork chop. Order it medium well. Prefect, best pork chop I've ever had. Perfectly cooked!!!

They were open late, and the lettuce wraps were perfect for a light, late nighr dinner! Incredibly flavorful and they had a little bit of a kick. Also had the potstickers which were phenomenal. Would definitely come back to visit again!
All I can give this place is 3 stars. Came in with the family for a nice dinner out. The food was sub par for the price point, the wait for everything was long, the lighting was super dark.

Modern Asian fusion in downtown Urbana makes for a nice night out. Place seems relatively new, but the staff were on top of things. The place is nicely decorate, airy and open with lots of room with comfortable seating. The high ceilings and the white tablecloths made the place elegant.
There is a very good menu with a nice diversity of things to choose from. The potstickers for our appetizer were very good, and my Shrimp Tikka Masala was excellent. My wife really enjoyed her Chetty's crab cakes. When we are back in Urbana, we are definitely making another stop. Kudos to the chef and staff. Wonderful meal!
