Holy Crab offers authentic Acadian Cajun boiled crab,…read moreshrimp, scallops, and fish pots of several varieties and spice levels (cayenne & black pepper stands out more). They also have a few other Cajun specialties, including gumbo (one of my favorites) which has a subtly more Creole taste (tomato & paprika is more forward) and crispy sweet-corn hush puppies (reminds me of Paul Prudhomme's recipe which is more wheat than corn, and has sweet onion). I enjoyed our seafood boil dinner so much, I went back for lunch the next day. I got the Holy Crab sampler which features catfish, oysters, shrimp, a crab cake, fries, and I added a tilapia fillet. All of the fish was expertly prepared, and their batter is a rich and crispy sweet-onion batter with a dusting of corn to add to the texture. The portions were very generous for the price. I also got the egg fried rice, which was very tasty, and filled me up after a long day of walking around. For dinner, we went just after peak hours, and the service was fairly quick (for a seafood boil). It was much busier at lunch, but they were able to prepare and serve the food lightning-fast, even with a number of to-go orders being picked up during service. The staff are friendly, and checked on us regularly to top off drinks (we went with medium spiciness, which was perfect with iced tea). Holy Crab ended up being my favorite stop of my trip in Peoria. The food, service, and prices were all quite good. If I'm in the area again, I will stop here to eat for sure!

We made reservations over the phone as we had a group of 7 and I'm glad we did because it got very busy throughout the night! We ordered the watermelon salad and spring rolls as starters, both of which were tasty and refreshing, particularly the watermelon salad. Our friends got the Baked Brie which was delicious! For entrees, I got the Thai Red Curry and my hubby got the Dan Dan Noodles. My curry was underseasoned and a bit lackluster so it was a miss for me, but I did like the Dan Dan Noodles which I would probably get next time if it's still on the menu. Our waitress was also attentive and prompt with her service. I would describe the ambiance as dim and romantic. The A/C was not working so it was very warm inside the restaurant (not sure if it's always like this or if it was just this particular night). Overall, our group had a very nice time dining at Hawaiioan Cafe!

Jonah's Seafood House in Peoria is a wonderful riverside seafood restaurant. The Oyster Bar, and…read moreMarket & Bake Shop next door, are interesting places as well, but this is the crown jewel. The service was second to none, from the hostess/manager Angie, to my delightful waitress Macy. The view of the Illinois River augmented a warm but comfortably rustic setting. I started with an Espresso Martini -- 360 Vanilla, Kahlua, Tia, Espresso & Cream with three delicious coffee beans on top. The cocktail was remarkably flavorful and I am a coffee martini enthusiast. For an appetizer I indulged myself and ordered a staple of any high-end seafood restaurant; Oysters Rockefeller baked in the half-shell. This traditional mainstay was absolutely perfectly cooked with the added twist of bacon. (Everything is better with bacon). The main attraction outdid it all: South African Lobster Tail with a half pound of Alaskan King Crab Legs. I'll let the pictures speak for this dish: I LOVED IT!!!!! For dessert I had another libation -- a Milk Chocolate Martini 360 Vanilla, Dark Crème De Cacao, and Cream.
