Yelp informed me about this new restaurant and hence I was curious to try this place. This place is situated at St. Joseph, about 12 mins drive from Champaign- Urbana. The place is very new ( a month old) and hence they do not have a restaurant sign board yet.. One needs to enter the building complex to access the restaurant to their left. At first the restaurant has very quirky yet very interesting decor.. there are bicycles hung everywhere. It's a small restaurant decorated very interestingly and has a great feel and ambience! Although we did not have reservation, we got seated very quickly! This place has a small bar and a very happy, refreshing environment! The menu is small but has some nice selections. Their farm to fresh concept is a real treat! Sadly they were out of Duck 3 ways- something I was eager to try! We tried their cheese curds and Smoking lamb.. both were very tasty and delicious. The lamb was very tender and the presentation was wonderful. I had the Wheelhouse burger- it had thin yet very filling patties with caramelized onion and fries! The burger tasted very good and their secret sauce did the magic to my taste buds! Loved the burger! My friend had the mushroom risotto which she loved it too.
Regarding the drinks- we really loved the selection of wines they had but was greatly put off to find that they had not chilled their wine (white). Sadly they even diluted one during serving.. This was a big put off as wine lovers but still I am considerate as they are just new in this business. Hopefully they will be better in their wine servings soon!The red wine (Malbec) was great and so was their beer selection. Luckily we happened to be on their first Trivia night.. this was amazing fun! They had 5 rounds of trivia and that made this dining experience real fun!
Their desserts were amazing.. (chocolate cheesecake and strawberry cake with lemon mousse) we loved it so much that we ended up ordering second time! The service was good and server (Jenny) was prompt and attentive. However the main course took a long time to be served but trivia night kept us busy! Overall we loved our dining experience and hope by our next time visit they would be up in their game! Amazing restaurant and hope to return soon!
Suggestions- You have awesome wine on the menu- please keep them chilled for wine lovers like us!
