Good selection of food on the menu for something different to suit your taste. Check out the menu in advance. The service is adequate to excellent depending on your waiter or waitress. The atmosphere is pleasant. Well lighted. You must climb steps to get to the second floor which makes it hard for the disabled. Other than that fine. read more

Our late night visit to Epiphany Farms/Anju was exceptional! A huge drink menu welcome us and we had the Beyond jalapeño cornbread for a starter, which proved to be quite yummy and not hot at all. We decided to go with the rustic pizzas that were delicious and unusual: harmony, Korean, chicken and loaded supreme. The crust tasted like it was from a woodfired oven and the Korean chicken pizza was so unusual and tasty with kimchi and pickled shiitake. The fresh from the forest mushroom side dish they gave us a special treat to us was quite a delicacy. Even the farm to table items they have for sale when you walk in to take home are a treat, Especially the homemade marshmallows! Ended with dessert of a fresh orange olive oil cake with just tremendous flavor and blood orange on the side and orange marmalade on the cake. It served exquisitely with a side of homemade ice cream that was to die for. We can't wait to come back! Our waitress, Lupe, treated us like family and was incredibly personal and warm. Put this on your must visit List. read more

I loved everything about this restaurant We ate downstairs and the style and decor was fabulous. Our food was slow to come and our drinks took forever. Luckily ALL of it was worth the wait. One item is a must: SEXY BUTTER I wish our waitress had been a bit more attentive and spent equal time at our table, but that is life. read more

There's a lot to like about Epiphany Farms. The menu is interesting New American farm-to-table. You can get Asian cuisine, pizza, steaks, chicken, seafood. We started with the sashimi plate. The fish was fresh- including tuna, salmon, shrimp- placed over small celery bites. A variety of sauces were dotted around the plate's edge. The dish would have benefited from some ginger and more sauce. Our entrees included Pork Coppa Ramen- which was a solid dish- strong beef broth flavor and the sambal (chili sauce) -a few cents extra- added a good depth of flavor. The fish bowl- tuna, salmon- with rice, pickled veggies, and gim (Korean seaweed) was tasty. It was even tasty the next day cold out of the fridge. Our server Jack did a nice job- we sampled their roasted carrots- and they were actually our favorite bite. We also had the potato graten and they were tasty- but could have been easily skipped with our Asian dinner vibe. The restaurant has a great eclectic historical vibe and was busy on a Friday night, but still felt spacious. The drink menu is a good selection- we enjoyed wine with dinner (a solid Pinot noir). I would definitely go back to have the pizza- which looked delicious at a couple of the neighboring tables. This is a great date night venue or girls night out. read more

Epiphany Farms in Bloomington is soooo good! I had the pork steam buns and the Gucci Cali sushi roll. The pork buns had a slightly sweet flavor with a little kick of sriracha. The bread around them was so soft and delicious. The sushi roll had a lemon sauce that was amazing. The avocado and all the ingredients looked and tasted really fresh. I do wish there had been a little more lemon sauce, but it was still so good! I never thought in a million years I would ever eat something called a gooey beet cake, but that thing is absolutely amazing and so delicious. I don't know if I've ever experienced a dessert like it -- the taste is like nothing I've ever had before. The waitress Morgan was also very nice and helpful when it came to recommending some great choices. The ambiance was very welcoming. Felt like a farm atmosphere with a modern twist: read more

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed. I'm disappointed because in my 46 years on this planet, this was probably the best meal I have ever had. Which means everything else is downhill from here. I started with the Buffalo-style chicken wings. They claimed they were "jumbo and juicy." I've heard that line before, so naturally I was skeptical. Then they came out. They were absolutely true to their name. Huge, ridiculously juicy, and coated in what tasted like some kind of cornflake-style breading before being fried to absolute perfection. Crispy. Crunchy. Juicy. Every bite had that perfect crackle on the outside without sacrificing anything inside. Then came the steak. Now, I cook a mean steak myself, and I'm rarely impressed when I order one at a restaurant. Most of the time I'm sitting there thinking, "Yeah, I could've done this at home." Not this time. This was a 14-ounce New York strip cooked medium rare, and I would have been proud of myself if I had cooked that steak. It was so flavorful that asking for salt would have felt like a sin. But somehow, the steak wasn't even the whole story. The mixed vegetables were seasoned perfectly. I hate okra. I'm not exactly the president of the squash fan club either. I ate every last bite. Then there was the potato. I don't even know exactly what they did to this thing. It was cut in a way that somehow allowed it to get crispy all over, inside, outside, probably spiritually too, and then covered in a sauce that soaked into all those little crispy layers without ruining the texture. For dessert, I had a limoncello and the tableside crème brûlée with blueberries, pineapple, and marshmallows. The chef came right to the table and torched the crème brûlée and marshmallows in front of me. The fresh fruit and toasted marshmallow were perfect with the rich custard, and taking little sips of limoncello between bites gave you that hit of sweet citrus that reset your palate just enough to make you immediately want another bite. The service matched the food. Friendly, fun, attentive without hovering, and they even boxed up my leftovers for me. So, sincerely, thank you to the chef and the entire staff. You gave me one of the best meals I've ever eaten... and an entirely new reason to have a midlife crisis. read more

Found this gem on a work trip to Bloomington/Normal. First, the staff is amazing. Second, the drink menu is spectacular. Third but certainly not least, the food. Get the corn bread to start. The steaks, pork chop and the risotto are what we had the first time (yes we have been back since). Try the Tofu doughnuts or the interactive crème brule to finish off your evening. read more

Graduation season is in full swing, yet the large groups was no small feat for them on the weekend service... they kept apologizing for no reason. Food was timely, service attentive and flavors coupled with quality were outstanding. Pork belly that melts in your mouth, risotto that is creamy, rich and light at the same time. Let's not forgot the dumplings that exploded with flavor. At the recommendation we tried them fried, but I was skeptical, I did not want them greasy... I was wrong they were crispy bits of heaven. The Pork Boa was super delicious, so much so we forgot to take a picture. And that corn flakes chicken is nothing like what my mom made, the chili sauce with pickled onions cuts through the heaviness like butter. And speaking of butter, you must try the bread and butter... the bread is just a vessel, a good one, but it is all about the herbed butter. Save room for dessert or your will sell yourself short. Not really sweet, yet perfect end to a great meal. Only down side, we need to come back with more people, so we can try more of this incredible food... Even it is 2.5 hours from home, we are filling the car and heading back, soon. None of us can stop talking about this truly, farm to table, high quality reasonably priced experience. They even put car into the non alcoholic drinks, nothing was an after thought. read more

I'd give more stars if I could! Jake was our server. He's chill, accommodating and welcoming. Had the margarita pizza, half Cobb salad and the grilled carrot veloutte soup that was WONDERFUL! I wish I had gotten the bowl!! Farm to table. Cobb salad had purple snap peas and turnips julienned but also diced pickles! Awesome. read more

Yes! Such an interesting menu and all executed with skill. You want fancy? They have beautifully prepared steaks and other. You want lower key? How about delicious Ramen or pizza and reasonable prices? The service was personable and professional. The atmosphere, lively. How about dessert? Crème brûlée w fruit & marshmallows. And table side blow-torched caramelized! Didn't expect a floor show. Such a great place. read more

We were excited to hear everything is farm to table. My salmon was seared to perfection. My husband had ramen. They have two kitchens for the sushi restaurant. They should tell you that your orders are coming from two kitchens. I was almost done eating by the time the ramen came. The service was excellent. Nice ambiance. read more

We've historically had great meals and service at Epiphany Farms. With our latest visit we had great food, however the service was lacking. It appeared our server had a large number of tables and at various parts of the restaurant (both in and outside) making it even difficult to catch his attention to engage with him. While this experience made our meal last longer than usual, we took advantage of enjoying conversation with extended family. Fortunately the food didn't disappoint. We had a variety of things amongst six of us and shared - e.g. pizzas, sushi rolls, Korean chicken wings, etc. The cornbread is a family favorite, and this time we tried the blistered peppers that were a bit addictive without too much heat. While we wouldn't say this was the best dining experience, we know this isn't what we've typically enjoyed and won't view this as a reason not to return. read more

A farm to table restaurant using their own vegetable farm and heritage livestock offer a wide range menu from pizza, sushi, Korean barbecue, and American Farm. We chose Beyond Jalapeno Cornbread on creamy farm greens and garlic and topped with whipped goat cheese, candied bacon bites, herbs, and house made hot honey. Our second starter was Cornflake Chicken, which was thin strips of Boneless Chicken thighs coated with crushed cornflakes stacked on Korean barbecue sauce with pickled carrots strips and sesame seeds. Our entrees were Asian Barbecue Pork shoulder, shredded, with Asian slaw, seasonal Farm vegetables, sesame seeds and 5 spice barbecue sauce, and I had the 8 oz. Fillet Mignon cut into 2 medallions with Demi Glacé, seasonal Farm vegetables, and Potato Gratin with Hollandaise. I also had an October Fest beer from Schaefer. They had a good selection of craft beers, wines and full bar. Reservations are needed, a bit pricey but worth it for the quality of food making it a destination restaurant. read more

Top Notch service and truly amazing food. Locally sourced from their farm, they have super fresh ingredients and it was well prepared. They even dropped by a sample of an appetizer for us! They are beautifully decorated for Christmas, and it was a snowy day so it was peaceful. Thanks to our server Billy who was very knowledgeable! read more

High priced. Dinners inconsistent, small portions and not anything to "write home about". It is not the worse but I wouldn't recommend.

Epiphany Farms is on a completely different level. You can really feel that 'farm-to-table' soul because they actually grow everything on their own land. It has that same rustic, country heart where you know every ingredient was picked with purpose. The Epiphany Pork Two Ways was absolutely incredible, just perfectly prepared and so flavorful. But the Cornbread was the real surprise. It was the thickest, most delicious version I've ever had, served with that honey butter that just melts right in. Everything we ordered, from the fresh Harvest Salad to the Roasted Carrots, tasted so vibrant and alive. Looking at the photos, you can see how much care goes into the presentation. It's elegant but still feels like a hearty, home-cooked meal from the future. It's definitely the gem of Bloomington and a must-visit if you appreciate food with a real story behind it. Would you like me to see if they have any farm tours or tasting menus coming up soon? read more

Epiphany Farms Restaurant - 4 oz filet with garlic mash potatoes and root vegetables from their farm. - Steakhouses Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Place was great! Met some family there for lunch, and everyone enjoyed everything. Great vibe, great food, fresh, and great staff.

Wide variety of food and everything was amazing Pizza, wings, salad, and good NA options.

I recently had dinner here for the first time and I was very impressed. We started with the pork dumplings and pork buns and they were both very good. Then for the entree I had the 4 oz filet medallions that came with seasonal vegetables and the potato gratin and it was all very good, especially the steak. The other people I was with had sushi and pizza and they enjoyed what they ate. Then we shared two desserts. We had the blondie and the tofu donuts (which I was leery about) and they were both very yummy. I will definitely want to return to eat here next time I am in Bloomington. read more

After a sublime summertime food and beverages event out on the actual farm, I had high hopes for the restaurant in town. So high that we patronized five times before giving up. I do think that calling themselves "fine dining," and invoking farm-to-table sets up some expectations that might be out of their scope. Before I elaborate on the numerous problems, I will say that I did leave all five dining instances with that glowing sense of well being one derives only from ingesting whole foods that are prepared with health in mind over aesthetics. But undercooked vegetables are not appealing to eat, especially root vegetables. Salmon should be buttery, not overcooked. Ramen broth should be hot, rich, and full-bodied. Noodles should not be chewy and chalky. One can excuse a plastic bowl if the ramen is good. Granted, Ramen is a tricky dish to offer, and restaurants should consider if they are prepared to execute a reasonably primordial soup. Service should be prompt at their price point. Onions should be crunchy only if raw. Caramelization takes time, and "farm-to-table" implies time. Take more time, Epiphany. read more

On Sunday September 3rd after driving for hours on our way back to Chicago we decided to stop in Bloomington overnight. I did some Yelp research and we discovered Epiphany Farms. It was about two hours before closing, so we found easy street parking and went inside. We were seated outside, given water, then completely forgotten. There were tables of diners around us that were finishing up, and at least three different servers walked around us to help their tables. Not one acknowledged us and said they would be with us. We waited for twenty minutes. Everyone looked like a deer in headlights - it almost seemed like no one wanted to look our way because they didn't want to commit to having to take another guest. I have no idea. I understand that businesses are short staffed and that everyone is a bit overworked, but it takes two seconds to tell a guest that things are a bit crazy and that you we be with them as soon as possible. We were excited about the variety of dishes on the menu, and I was super excited to se Sippin Pretty on the menu - my most favorite sour beer. Unfortunately we never had a chance to order. We walked away from our table without anyone noticing or caring. Then we checked into a hotel and ended up at Texas Roadhouse, which would not have been by choice, but by this point we didn't have a lot of options. They were actually insane, so we sat at the bar, and the bartender gave us 1st rate service. read more

Service was below average; drinks were terrible, we had a new server who had a trainer with her, but very awkward, when food was delivered to our table is was lukewarm to cold, we had to ask for silverware...for the price this was an extremely bad dinner and unfortunately would not suggest this restaurant to anyone...very over-rated for the quality of food, price of the food and overall experience and this is the 2nd time we've attempted to eat there...we won't be back for a very long time unfortunately. NOT GOOD! read more

Tried this restaurant on our way to St.Louis. The food was awesome. We started off with Honey I'm home and bloody Mary. Drinks were fantastic. We then had hummus, veg fried dumplings, chicken wings and Pork belly bowl. The food was fresh snd delicious. I loved the hummus whereas my husband loved both the wings and the bowl. The service was great. The server was warm and super attentive. We sat outside which was cute. They have plenty of space both inside and outside. The parking was easy as they have a public lot next to the restaurant. I would recommend this place! GIVE IT A TRY!! read more

I'm a huge fan of farm to table restaurants and Epiphany takes this to a new level. I say this because of the many styles of food offered. Along with traditional offerings, there are Asian flavors and pizza! Anju Banchan was unlike anything we've ever ordered. I unique mini smorgasbord of tastes! Even the people at the next table wanted to know what it was! The El Diablo pizza was great. The "fresh from the farm" jalapeños really gave it a nice spicy kick! We enjoyed a couple of craft cocktails which were delicious and the wine by the glass selection was nice. I can't conclude this without saying how delightful our server and hostess were. This was our first visit to Bloomington and we will be sure to return. read more

We went with a large group (like 16 people) on a Tuesday night and it was very farmhouse chic. The drink and food menu was so diverse, it would be hard to get a good sampling without visiting more than once. I saw mussel and cornflake chicken apps, and I saw steak and scallop entrees... I had the Epiphany Pork Feature, because it's always nice to get a namesake dish. Pork was perfect. The rice had something savory going on in it, but I couldn't place it. My pic of the cornflake chicken is very sad because we were sharing apps. The pork feature is so photogenic, as was much of their offerings! Now, it is a little on the pricey side, but it's such a unique environment, right? read more

The restaurant is 3 in one. They also have a sushi and pizza menu you can order from but we've always stuck with the farm to table. read more

Food was delicious. The chicken was amazing. Tons of flavor! The service was wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Enjoyed a birthday dinner during the weekday. The sour was a delicious beer and my fiancé enjoyed the mock tail with apple cider in it. We munched on the pork dumplings first for an appetizer. For dinner, my fiancé I had the chicken wings, to which they were okay. The fry on them was very interesting. Fiancé's dad loves his skewers and fiancé's mom loved her bulgogi pizza. My stir fry at first was thought to have carrots in it (but I'm allergic to carrots) and then we found out there were no carrots and it was just squash, but our server, Christopher was amazing with his communication. And the manager came out to provide us with the communication as well which was really appreciative. Definitely would go back! read more
