I recently held my little sister's bridal shower at Kennedy's as it was her favorite restaurant in the Champaign-Urbana area. Everything was perfect! We were there for a while (opening presents etc) and both hosts were very attentive to my needs and went above and beyond to make sure I was stress free for the shower. The food spread was beautiful, we had a perfect amount, everything tasted amazing and everyone was impressed! As the shower was concluding, we walked out on the patio behind the restaurant and had some wine...it overlooked the golf course and was a gorgeous scene for family pictures.
I was also recently attending a conference at the I hotel but wanted to go some place that was nice for lunch with several of my colleagues...so we headed down the road to Kennedy's. I had the mushroom explosion soup-- hands down the best soup I've ever had. I also had one of their fresh seasonal salads (I had one with strawberries and goat cheese). My friend had a sandwich and the other had a salad and mushroom explosion soup as well. Both were very impressed with the service, food quality, and the price for lunch was an AMAZING deal for the quality we received.
I will plan on returning to Kennedy's for special occasions and anytime that I am ever in town on business.
