The entree, chicken saltimbocca, was incredibly dry; I almost choked on the first bite of chicken. The sides, dauphinoise potatoes and green beans, were good. Thankfully, the desserts were delicious.

Chef Allen understood the assignment to provide an appealing menu for the wide range of 4-14 year-old students and their families. He even took the time to consider menu prices for that budget-strapping time of year when parents are shelling out monies for all the start-of-school supplies and necessities. We couldn't have been more happy with AtoZ's and would HIGHLY recommend this business for your next catering/block party need! PS: Chef Allen's apple crisp is OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD!!

The food itself has an amount of freshness that I quite honestly have not been able to find outside of homemade from the garden. I got the BLT with tomato soup and it was absolutely delicious, the sandwich had a small kick at the end which I felt added an extra flavor profile. The tomato soup was unique, you could tell that it was house made with garden fresh ingredients by the way it tasted and the way it looked. Didn't taste anything like from the can, this soup was mild and refreshing, lastly the view and outside environment was so relaxing it brought everything together. Would highly recommend :)

Personal chef services specializing in small private events such as holiday parties, dinner parties, cocktail parties, romantic dinners for two, and business events. From start to finish I believe that a client should be given service that is as unique as they are. I do not offer a "standardized" menu that offers the same 7 dishes that everyone has to pick from. Your menu is created with you in mind and based upon your event, guests, and dietary needs. Prices are all inclusive and include groceries, hourly rate for in home preparation, cleanup and any serving pieces required. As a chef, I specialize in classic French and authentic Italian as well as Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine. In the 14 years I have been a chef/personal chef I have become a master at the art and skill of throwing a swanky EFFORTLESS dinner or cocktail event. Looking for something different? I also offer a "Chef's Tasting" menu which with encompass 8-10 micro courses giving the diner a wide range of tastes and delights, just as you would get in a Chicago 5 star restaurant.

My first time here. The menu was comprehensive and featured so many visually tempting options that…read moreI finally just asked our waitress Quincy to suggest something. She recommended the Cuban Pulled Pork Sandwich. My sandwich was huge and contained a large portion of pulled pork meat. It was delicious and the homemade chipotle bbq mayo made it all the more satisfying with its rich smoky flavor! The Cuban-style black beans were right out of Miami! Very nicely prepared and included green peas, carrots, corn, and bell peppers, as well. My dining companion, for her part, ordered the Falafel platter, with a side order of gyro meat. The falafel (a dozen), were fresh, tasty, and just the right consistency. These were served with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pita, and hummus. The side order of gyro meat featured a generous portion of decadently succulent lamb shavings and included two portions of homemade tzatziki sauce. Everything we ate was prepared to perfection and could easily compete with exceptional restaurants in Chicago! Yes, the food at One World is that good. As for the service, our waitress Quincy was friendly and professional. As for the ambiance and decor--we arrived ahead of the lunch crowd, so it was pretty quiet. The decor, however, is nicely done. The premises were clean and well maintained. Ditto the restrooms. The restaurant is actually huge. There are multiple dining areas and in the summer there is an outside patio behind the restaurant, as well. As for pricing and affordability--quality costs, and the food here is definitely a cut above. That being said, the owners have priced the entrees quite reasonably considering the generous portion-size and quality of the food. My overall opinion? If you want a dining experience worthy of comparison to the best Chicagoland has to offer, but don't want to make the long drive--or pay twice as much--then I highly recommend this little gem of a locally-owned restaurant in Peoria!

I got the thai chicken pizza and it was SO good. The hot honey was a little sweeter than I expected, however the jalepeno balanced it well. The hummus also was hands down one of the best I have ever had. Still thinking about it. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was the service. Everything was fine until it came to pay. I don't know if our server disappeared or something but we waited 30-45 minutes to get our check which was semi-frustrating. Anyways, 10/10 food. Very unique. Very different. I recommend!!!
