We ordered drinks and two special appetizers, shrimp in a spicy cream sauce and pork belly bits with diced mango. Both were delicious. For our mains, we chose: Sassy Chicken Thighs and Brown Sugar Brined Pork Chop. The chicken thighs melted in my mouth. We spoke at length with the manager after our dinner and tried to guess the ingredients in the outstanding sauces. The sassy sauce had in addition to the honey and Dijon, some cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Not too spicy, just enough zip to make it interesting. The pork chop was also amazing. Tender and juicy with a cherry balsamic glaze. We would definitely recommend a visit and plan to return the next time we're in town.

The price for the board was I think a little high not major but a little but a glass of wine was I think very competitive very good no matter where you are. My overall rating for this place is either a 4 or 4 1/2 out of 5. It was a great first experience and will go back again.

Crafted DIY Studio & Bar of Peoria... you have my heart!! I visited Peoria with my boyfriend a…read moremonth ago and took a walk for approx. 3 minutes before stumbling into Crafted. I LOVE CRAFTS. And I also like to sip. So naturally, we walked in and signed ourselves up for a craft session the next morning. The options are truly expansive in terms of both project variety and skill level! I made a wine caddy (the shapes were pre-cut, but I sanded, assembled, and painted the finish), and the boo thang made a leather wallet. Drinks were tasty! I wasn't in the mood to drink at 11am (I'm not strong enough... yet), so I had a fizzy drink with muddled berries and mint at the bottom. I LOVE IT HERE! As they said to me upon walking in, "You don't have to craft to drink and you don't have to drink to craft," but you'll for sure have a great time :")

When ordering, it takes a little while to put in your order and they get the beer for you as you are ordering. We had a group of 5 and if you ordered your beer first, then you had to wait to order anything else. There was plenty of seating inside, but as it was a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside where they have a nice 3-4 table area for some people to lounge.
