    55th Anniversary celebration!

    Food and service is 5 star . Great ambiance! Would recommend for special evening ! Loved meeting the owners.

    We rather enjoy the Old Colonial Inn. It's about a 45 min drive for us but we try to go a few times a year. The ambiance is charming and cozy like an old school steak and chop house. We've always had delicious meals although cocktails can be a bit hit or miss. Both the main room and the library are lovely to dine in.

    Regular Cut (12 oz) Prime Rib cooked to medium. Excellent.

I ordered the filet mignon with asparagus. The steak was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The asparagus was fresh and had great flavor. My mom was craving the fried shrimp, mashed potatoes, and mac. She loved it all and I was even stealing her mashed potatoes it was so good! Service and food was 5 stars. Giving 4 stars because the inside could use a little more ambience or aesthetic.

    My first time at Trios Steakhouse and it wasn't bad but it wasn't outstanding. I would definitely…read moretravel to The Lighthouse in Cedar Lake for the ambiance and delicious food. The restaurant lacks a distinct ambiance. It needs to work on the interior design. Ambiance plays a significant role in making an amazing dining experience. The service was great. The bartender was quick and efficient. He was very friendly and recommended several different entrees and appetizers. I would come back to have a drink at the bar without a problem! He brought water and a bread basket. I wish he was more educated on what type of bread was being served. Overall he was attentive and ensured that my to-go order was packed correctly. My mom had the bbq baby back ribs. She said the baked potato tasted better than the ribs and that she prefers the ribs at TGIFridays over Trios. Which was kinda disappointing because we live relatively close to Trios and it's the only nicer restaurant in Watseka. Her onion rings were lightly breaded and tasted great! I had the salmon with asparagus and Mac n cheese. It was cooked perfectly. However, it lacked flavor. The asparagus had more seasoning and taste than the salmon. They should try some different seasonings. Too bland for me. The asparagus was surprisingly delicious and I would come back just for it. The Mac n cheese was disappointing. I advise to get the onion rings. It's a large portion of onion rings that are prepared fresh to order in a light batter. I doubt I would return for the main dishes. I hope they change things up.

Upon entering the hostess asked if we had a reservation, we did not as this was last minute find. The hostess advised there was a table available in the bar area or a large 6 top table behind the hostess stand. We selected the 6 top, while not in the main dining area it was still a good table and our server Karis was great. Complimentary Bread is served. The bread was served warm and soft. Ordered the Scallops and asked for them to be prepared in a lemon butter sauce which the kitchen was able to do a lemon beurre blanc sauce. Served with a side and soup or salad or a 2nd side if no soup or salad is selected. Requested some tartar sauce however it had a very overpowering Dill flavor. French Onion soup had the right amount of bread and more broth than cheese and onion. Had the Ribeye Cap special which needed a touch of salt and it was cooked a little more than the medium rare plus ordered. Served with a side of Burgundy Mushrooms heavy on the Burgundy flavor and Shoestring Onion Rings however not really on the true sense of Shoestring Onion ring size of things unless your into fat shoelaces but they did taste good. Overall great service and good food

Took my employees to the 100 mile house in Fowler Indiana, for our Christmas get together. This used to be a very good place to eat and was friendly. There were 7 of us and 6 of us ordered ribeye. My granddaughter had the chicken strip and fries. Hers was good along with the appetizers and salads. The chicken strip came out 15 minutes before the rest of ours no big deal. We got our steaks the one that was to be very rare was medium we sent it back only for the owner of the restaurant to tell us it was cooked as we asked. They tempted it and it was cooked right. We explained that it shouldn't be warm in the center. 30 seconds on each side that's it. He then sent one of his staff members out to tell us they were out of ribeyes. My employee chose a new your strip. After we were done eating they brought her steak to her. The waitress was wonderful she did a great job. She brought the check and said if you have any questions about your check see the owner he's at the bar. Looking at the bill I was charged for the steak sent back and 15.95 for the new York strip with no sides. I went back to the bar and explained that the steak wasn't cooked as ordered. Sent it back shouldn't be charged for both steaks. Was told our cook has 15 years of experience and it was cooked as requested. My steak tasted like it had been reheated and wasn't cooked correctly either. The others were very salty and had lots of fat and was very tough. So I paid my $175.00 bill and left. As a manager myself I would never treat a paying customer the way we were treated. For everyone I said you've got to try the 100 mile house in Fowler use your own judgement. Thought it was odd that for a Saturday night at 715 Indiana time we were the only ones in there eating. Hope this gets the word out so other's don't get taken. When asked for the steak back since I paid for it I was told the staff was eating it.

    This local dive was a let down!…read more The vegetables were from frozen, the rolls were right out of the package--not even warmed up, the rice pilaf was from a box, the steak and prime rib had no seasonings--the mashed potatoes, and the prime rib were both cold. Waitress had not been trained. She carried the food out one or two little dishes at a time. Just about to take a bite of cole slaw and she says "I don't like cole slaw or cottage cheese." She also asked "how do you eat rice? I mean do you put your vegetables on it. I hear it takes a long time to cook." She did try to be nice, she was attentive.
