The breaded pork tenderloin was not huge but still delicious and very filling portion, seasoned and cooked perfectly.

I will definitely stop by the next time I'm traveling through town around meal time.

Jonah's Seafood House in Peoria is a wonderful riverside seafood restaurant. The Oyster Bar, and…read moreMarket & Bake Shop next door, are interesting places as well, but this is the crown jewel. The service was second to none, from the hostess/manager Angie, to my delightful waitress Macy. The view of the Illinois River augmented a warm but comfortably rustic setting. I started with an Espresso Martini -- 360 Vanilla, Kahlua, Tia, Espresso & Cream with three delicious coffee beans on top. The cocktail was remarkably flavorful and I am a coffee martini enthusiast. For an appetizer I indulged myself and ordered a staple of any high-end seafood restaurant; Oysters Rockefeller baked in the half-shell. This traditional mainstay was absolutely perfectly cooked with the added twist of bacon. (Everything is better with bacon). The main attraction outdid it all: South African Lobster Tail with a half pound of Alaskan King Crab Legs. I'll let the pictures speak for this dish: I LOVED IT!!!!! For dessert I had another libation -- a Milk Chocolate Martini 360 Vanilla, Dark Crème De Cacao, and Cream.

We started off with the bread and calamari. The bread was so good. The calamari... quite possibly the best calamari I've ever ate. Then I ordered the halibut. The halibut was very good, great flavor and flakiness. The couscous that it was sitting on was strange, I've never had couscous before so I can't say anything bad, maybe it's just not my thing. Asparagus was very good, cooked perfectly. I snuck a few bites of my wife's steak and it was delicious, I'm gonna have to come back and get steak.

This review is long overdue... I came across Vele while on a trip to Springfield. Vele was…read morerecommended everywhere as a good place to celebrate an anniversary, so I quickly tried to grab a reservation. Vele is a popular place so they didn't have reservations available. I did a Hail Mary and decided to call them when they opened to see if they had any availability. I was lucky because they had availability around the time we wanted to visit. When my husband and I arrived it was busy which I expected because of the popularity so there was a small wait even with a reservation. That was fine because I was excited to check out the place. When we first sat down our waiter was attentive and friendly. The tables are very close together so you could overhear how he treated other guests, he was pleasant to everyone. I'm not sure when the shift happened but the waiter seemed to lose interest in our entire section because he barely came around after taking our food order. I was celebrating a wedding anniversary so I planned to have at least two drinks but was limited to a single drink because our waiter disappeared. The entree came out in a reasonable time and it was delicious. As the dinner went on we slowly ran out of water (he didn't come by to refill the glasses) and our drink. After the initial excitement of the drinks and entree we realized we'd been sitting 30ish mins without the waiter coming over. We wanted to wrap the entree portion and grab desserts. Earlier I could overhear our waiter asking other tables if they wanted to order dessert so I assumed the same would happen with our table but that didn't happen. It got the point had to flag down our waiter or someone else working the floor to get our check. Our whole dinner experience was almost 2 hours but that consisted of one drink, one water glass, and an entree. I ended up speaking with the manager because I wanted to confirm if they still had desserts available because it was an hour and some change before they closed so I assumed they may have stopped selling desserts but no. The waiter was just ignoring us. It was an odd experience and left a bad taste in my mouth. The manager was extremely friendly and apologetic but having your anniversary dinner soured was enough to want to wrap the dinner up. He did give us an anniversary dessert to go which was delicious which made this experience so unfortunate.
