The place is wonderful and our server was very attentive. We received our drinks, bread and salad. The bread is fresh baked and wonderfully worm. I had the linguine with clam sauce.

It would be maddening to see price gouging if the food was not an ideal set of ingredients. Unlike an unfortunate city grill in downtown San Francisco last June, this chef has full skills and quality meats. Gumbo and clam chowder are rich and show off delicate proteins blended well into harty sauces. Tuna salad sandwich disappeared before the rest. Grouper, alas for its budget cuts because we needed more of that high class Caribbean cruise cuisine. But the nachos, they won the party, we started off with them and the next day continued to comment how annoyingly small they were. They desperately need an XXL size option for big table sharing! The cocktails seem also silly for the prices so I avoided them. Little in the tiki fashion to befriend the entrees and oddly not much house seasonal drinks either, was fine enough when I learned the Anchor Head brew blew my doors off! A fantastic lager, smooth, clean, easy to drink, that is how we like it. Staff was spot on to first ask about drinks while we waited for a table then escort us to one that opened up minutes later. Everyone was in tune throughout the night and we never felt waiting for service. Paying attention to the pennies, this is still a decent option alongside the excellent Kemp 208 in Morton and 2cheys in Peoria for indulging, relaxing, and meeting up to get those great land and sea meats.

I lived in Chicago for eight years, and this is easily one of the top five steaks I've had, consistently.

A Peoria Heights Institution -- My Favorite Table in the World…read more I've been coming to Jim's Bistro on Prospect Road for years, and I honestly cannot imagine the Peoria dining scene without it. The Comfort family has been doing this for over 50 years, and every single visit reminds me why longevity like that is earned, not given. Let me start with the food, because it deserves its own paragraph. The dry-aged steaks, cut in-house, are simply the best in the area -- and I say that as someone who has tried them all. Whether it's a perfectly prepared filet, a juicy lamb chop, or one of their famous 10 oz. steak burgers (the Bleu Burger is my personal obsession), every dish comes out exactly right. The seafood ravioli appetizer is a must-order, the beer cheese soup is legendary, and the Caesar salad never misses. If you come on a Sunday, do not leave without trying the fried chicken -- it is the best Sunday dinner in the Peoria area, full stop. The service here is consistently warm and attentive. The staff clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows in the timing, the recommendations, and the little touches that make a dinner feel like an event. I've brought family, friends, dates, and colleagues here, and every single group has walked out raving. And the atmosphere! You can choose between the elegant indoor dining room or the lovely outdoor patio -- both are wonderful. On a warm evening, there's nothing better than sitting outside on Prospect Road with a glass from their extensive wine list, taking your time with a perfectly cooked steak. Jim's Bistro isn't just a restaurant to me -- it's a tradition. It's where I go to celebrate, to unwind, and to remember that truly great food never goes out of style. If you haven't been, you are missing out on something special. If you have been, you already know exactly what I'm talking about. See you at the next table.
