All the food was hot and fresh and my goodness it was so delicious. The tenderloin was 3 times as big as the bun, if not 4 and was amazing!

Popped in hungry and hot after walking around McCormick's Creek State Park…read more The space itself isn't especially appealing; the exterior is an unassuming brick building-we almost missed it-and the interior is fairly minimal as well. If you have a large crowd you might be challenged. But we weren't there to take in a scene and icy water was brought immediately after we seated ourselves. We were provided paper menus but also check out the digital versions! There were a couple of differences, one was only wording but did result in a side upgrade for one in our party. I got the standard burger and, with the server's recommendation, added bacon jam and aioli to make a smaller version of the double-pattied civilian burger. Delicious and right sized for me. The fries are a must. They're beer battered steak fries, crispy outside, soft and steamy inside. The pulled pork got positive reviews but looked messier than what I wanted to manage in that moment. The menu has a good variety, including a couple of vegetarian options. I was also very happy to find a rye beer with a more modest ABV as I like the spicy bitterness of rye beers but they tend to be more than I want after hiking around on a hot day. Service was great. Our server was familiar with the menu and super friendly. This spot is a great option after a hike in the area, especially if you're cringing at the thought of navigating the student crowd in Bloomington but still want a good meal and beer. Added bonus: fantastic prices.

Bloomfield Steak and Ale is our favorite restaurant. Bloomfield S&A is several restaurants in one…read moreplace: Classic grill, Italian, sandwiches, salads, pizza, seafood, specials, carryout, dine-in. Similarly, there are several seating options. In seasonable weather, we eat on the front porch with a roof or the garden room in the back -- complete with blooming wisteria in springtime. In the winter, we have a special corner table in an alcove. There's a bar and big-screen in another room. I would rather eat at this restaurant than anyplace in Bloomington. Why? Because the food is good, the parking is easy, and the tables are not close together. We can talk without feeling any intrusion. I am a huge fan of the spinach ravioli and order the dish almost always. Pork steak and salmon are grilled to perfection. Also favorites. The trip to Bloomfield is always pleasant, and I feel that I escape the cares of the week built up from a stressful job -- every trip to Bloomfield.

Definitely worth the drive!!!

The lamb was perfectly tender, richly seasoned, and paired well with bright, fresh sides. The halibut was delicate and artfully plated with vibrant greens and a silky sauce. And that milk bread? Pillowy, golden, and served with some of the best butter I've ever had. The ambiance was refined yet welcoming--perfect for a special night out or an upscale casual dinner. Service was attentive and warm without being overbearing. In my opinion, this is one of the best dining experiences in Bloomington. A must-visit for locals and visitors alike.

The Elm is "one of one" in Bloomington, really no place like it…read more From service to decor to the food, The Elm stands out. Went for dinner on a non-football weekend night and had great service. Helpful guidance on menu choices and super attentive without being a bother. The room and bar are handsomely decked out, with comfortable, well-spaced tables and banquettes and booths. Makes for a fun setting. The food is seasonal and local -- lots of corn and squash this time of year. The chicken roulettes are excellent, as was the beet salad with Calabrian honey and whipped feta -- a nice sweet/hot combo. The steak frites was perfectly cooked to medium rare as requested, and accompanied by scalloped potato fries. Don't miss the desserts, either. The sweet corn creme brûlée with popped sorghum was totally new to me and delish. The chocolate medley was also excellent. Kudos for well-made cocktails too. Great experience and 100% different from everything else in town. A little NYC in IN.

But we like ordering from the dinner menu because they are so many delicious choices. The service here is always excellent when we come. The food is delicious and plentiful. They have lovely decor and furnishings. I decided to try the Baked Chicken Parmesan which comes with spaghetti and a choice of soup or salad. I shared some of the chicken since it was such a large portion. She ordered her usual Fettuccine Alfredo and we both got salads. All of the food was superb. We stayed for dessert. I had the New York Cheesecake with Strawberry topping. She selected the Tiramisu. One minute hers was there, then I blinked and it was gone. That's how much she loves tiramisu and she said it was VERY good. Mine was good as well. Happy Thanksgiving Tomorrow!

I loved that…read morethey offer two different experiences a great bar area and a beautiful full-service dining room. I opted for the dining room, and even though it was buzzing with a lunch crowd, it was the perfect level of energy without being noisy. The service was 10/10. My waiter was incredibly warm and took the time to explain the day's dishes in detail. I ordered the Brussels Sprouts and a drink, and both arrived in just a few minutes. The sprouts were perfectly prepared and very satisfying easily some of the best I've had. If you're looking for a high-quality lunch with excellent service and a great vibe, this is the place. I'm giving it a full rating and will definitely be back!

Reviewed the menu seemed to be eclectic enough, off we go. The place had a decent size outdoor dinning area. Few of the tables were occupied. Table for one...indoor, outdoor was the question? Indoor. Although the weather was beautiful, indoors was my choice. Al fresco dining is not my first choice. I don't like to do battle over my meal with insects and other wild life. I deducted 1 star for red wine served at room temperature. How is it that, red wines are chilled (55F) on the west coast but served at 'room temperature' (72F, 82F...) on the east coast. Had two dishes, they were OK, service was ok Would I go back? Yes, if the red wine was chilled.

We started with the small biscuit board, which was really good--though a homemade jam would take it to the next level. I had the Vanilla French Toast and it was fantastic. My daughter ordered the bagel sandwich, which was also amazing. But the real star of the meal was the breakfast potatoes. I'm usually not a big fan because they're often over‑seasoned or mushy, but these were hands‑down the best I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and honestly unforgettable. They had an online waitlist that we were very glad we opted for prior to heading over. The staff was top notch. There was also outdoor dining available and plenty of gluten free and vegan options. Great food, great drinks, and a fun brunch vibe. We'll definitely be back.

Not a lot of seating, so you may need to wait a few minutes... but the food is quick to come from the kitchen and people are friendly to share a table if possible. I've only been for breakfast a few times - had the Hungry Man today. Crispy bacon, sausage links (not bad, not the best ever), shredded potatoes, two eggs and half order biscuits and gravy. Really good if you're getting breakfast to last to dinner... the B&G are some of the best you'll find in the area. Go early, because they have been known to run out. There are ~15 tables - mostly booths, and no two-tops... pictures of patrons and old kitchen decor on the walls. Cash and local check only - plan ahead (there is a bank/ATM across the street if needed). Super friendly staff... just a nice place for good, homemade meal.
