I ordered the filet mignon with asparagus. The steak was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The asparagus was fresh and had great flavor. My mom was craving the fried shrimp, mashed potatoes, and mac. She loved it all and I was even stealing her mashed potatoes it was so good! Service and food was 5 stars. Giving 4 stars because the inside could use a little more ambience or aesthetic.

My first time at Trios Steakhouse and it wasn't bad but it wasn't outstanding. I would definitely…read moretravel to The Lighthouse in Cedar Lake for the ambiance and delicious food. The restaurant lacks a distinct ambiance. It needs to work on the interior design. Ambiance plays a significant role in making an amazing dining experience. The service was great. The bartender was quick and efficient. He was very friendly and recommended several different entrees and appetizers. I would come back to have a drink at the bar without a problem! He brought water and a bread basket. I wish he was more educated on what type of bread was being served. Overall he was attentive and ensured that my to-go order was packed correctly. My mom had the bbq baby back ribs. She said the baked potato tasted better than the ribs and that she prefers the ribs at TGIFridays over Trios. Which was kinda disappointing because we live relatively close to Trios and it's the only nicer restaurant in Watseka. Her onion rings were lightly breaded and tasted great! I had the salmon with asparagus and Mac n cheese. It was cooked perfectly. However, it lacked flavor. The asparagus had more seasoning and taste than the salmon. They should try some different seasonings. Too bland for me. The asparagus was surprisingly delicious and I would come back just for it. The Mac n cheese was disappointing. I advise to get the onion rings. It's a large portion of onion rings that are prepared fresh to order in a light batter. I doubt I would return for the main dishes. I hope they change things up.

The restaurant is located in the town's restored old hotel right near the town square. Upon entering, there's delightfully cozy seating and a candlelit interior--we were seated in the library room that contained a few intimate tables. The service was amazing. Jill is attentive yet gave us space for conversation. She recommended the tenderloin special, which paired with the blueberry gastrique and parsnip purée was a nice mashup of flavors. The soup of the day was a rich, creamy lobster bisque. My husband ordered the salmon grilled and said it was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We ordered a dessert to share (turtle cheesecake), and they thoughtfully plated it with a starburst of whipped cream for each of us! The owners came around and checked on everyone briefly. They were very kind and hospitable. Overall, the Old Colonial Inn was a delightful experience and a hidden gem.

I would give him ten stars if it was possible. There were 4 adults in our party and an 18 month old (very busy boy). He initiated contact by talking directly to him, high fiving and knuckles and then gave him a dollar so he was making an impression early as a good guy. While we looked at the menu for food and drinks he suggested we get something started for the little guy since he was hungry (GREAT IDEA). He then took our drink order and got right to it. He checked in with us frequently, offered sauce suggestions and refreshed our adult beverages and drinks as often as they were partially full (that is GREAT service). Once dinner was underway, and our little one wanted something to do, we took turns in the lobby to help him get the wiggles out. As dinner was coming to an end, our said little, starting putting up a big fuss because it was time for bed, so when Brian took our credit card, he asked if he could show him around, and within our eyesight he did just that, which the newness calmed our little one down, and he promptly brought him back.
