| - D-licious!!! We have been wanting to come here for a while, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much bigger it looks on the inside than just driving by. We were able to get a reservation on a Friday night within about an hour, and once we arrived were pleasantly greeted and seated within minutes. Our server was Steve who was also very pleasant, friendly, and informative. Although I couldn't partake in any spirits it appears they have many to choose from, and looks like an extensive wine list that I can't wait to try next time! Side note, they do not have beer on draft. Only by the bottle. They brought and assortment of bread, all very good. My husband ordered the Rhode Island calamari for an appetizer. I personally don't eat seafood, but he is from Boston and said it was the best he's ever had so I'll take his word for it. For our main course I ordered the 8oz filet medium well and classic mac 'n cheese, my husband ordered the 22oz prime rib and the Yukon gold mashed potatoes. It seemed to take a while for our meals to come, maybe due to it being a busy Friday evening. I started to get a little impatient. But once our food arrived I had no complaints. My filet was cooked to perfection, and tasted AMAZING! The mac 'n cheese was good, for me it had a little bit of a sweet taste. I tried the mashed potatoes and they were creamy and seasoned just right! I saw a previous review that bashed the atmosphere saying that it was not up to par with the prices. I didn't notice. All I can say about that is I'd rather have a spectacular meal for my money than a fancy chair or light. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept as were the servers and wait staff. For my next visit I would like to try being seated on their patio (weather permitting of course!) I drove by this place for years not realizing it's probably one of Peoria's best fine restaurants, and best kept secrets! I'll definitely be returning and spreading the word! No need to drive into the city or all the way to Scottdale for a prime piece of meat!
