Cute restaurant/bar in downtown Urbana. Located in an old retail storefront; still has its classic pressed-tin high ceiling. The menu is not huge but what's on there is top notch! My husband had a delicious burger cooked to order. I had the salmon salad: the chef's signature salad with grilled salmon and bleu cheese on top. Both were excellent. We also shared a dessert of bread pudding with whipped cream & caramel sauce. Yum! Prices were reasonable, and the waiter was excellent. We're from out-of-town, but we'd definitely return if we're here again. read more

We always love visiting Fusion when we are in Urbana. The food is good and the food, and while the service is a little slower it is nice to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Don't waste your time or money. Staff are among the most rude people I have ever come into contact with.My experience with them was so bad I walked out and refused to patronize their business.. Restaurant was empty on a Thursday night and I think I know why. Go somewhere else... read more

My husband and I had a very good experience. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was nice, and we both agreed our meals were delicious!

Family owned and operated!! Consistent quality for over a decade in Urbana, many choices from steaks, chicken and curry dishes..have never left unsatisfied!! Recently have had an incredible filet and several fresh fish dishes that were amazing! read more

Fusion 40.83 - Hemingway pork chop...been in menu for a long time but one very tasty chop!!... - Burgers Near Me - Urbana, Ohio

I went into the restaurant having already reserved a table for 5-6. I am physically disabled and have neck and back (severe pain) issues. They sat me in the back, where it is extremely dark, and the seats are excessively hard. I asked to be moved to a table in the front with softer seating, not to mention better lighting. The waitress refused to move me. The owner then also refused to move me, stating that "a party of eight may come in". It never happened the whole time we were there. In fact hardly anyone else came in the whole time I was visiting. I would think a local business that has struggled in the past would be more accommodating, especially on a weekday when customer traffic was extemely light. In short, I was treated very rudely. I would add that the waitress was very condescending. When I told her our party may not be able to stay due to the seating situation, she said "I don't care". I have had plenty of experience in customer service-related jobs in my past. I never would have been so rigid and rude if a customer had shared with me a similar request. read more

Among the best restaurants in Urbana. Of course there aren't many. This is the best place to get a cocktail and something ethnic that's not pizza. It has a pretty simple menu. Most things are fairly priced. I already ate so I just needed a drink. It's the only place in town to get a craft cocktail. They don't have a specific liquor menu. It has a list of specials on the board. They had a few good sounding ones. I had an Ultimate Margarita. This is about $10 because it's made from better stuff. Inside the restaurant is clean even when it's busy. It wasn't extremely crowded but it was loud. One of the livelier atmospheres in Urbana. read more

Chetty's lamb is THE best! I've tried a lot of lamb and Chef Chetty always knocks or out of the park. Superb brown sauce... great variety on the menu, something for everyone! read more

First time eating at this place. The food was wonderful and our waiter was a delight!!

A surprise in Urbana, found with the help of Yelp (and friends and family... ) I had the pretzel-bun burger, with chips, and potato soup (a soup of the day.) The soup was very good; maybe I say that because it's a lot like the way I make it. The burger was pretty good, and the chips were a nice touch. Made there, I think; the other obvious local choice would be Mumford's, but I don't think that's what they were. Service was friendly and professional. Wish I'd asked the waitress's name... The atmosphere of the place is warm, a bit trendy. I'll definitely be back. read more

My companion and I ate there on May 31, 2019. Simply put, we had some of the best meals we had in a long time. This is a family owned and operated restaurant: Father, mother, and two sons. We started with salads; what can you say about salads? However, the grape vinaigrette I had with mine was simply scrumptious. I had the French onion soup; it was the best I've had outside of my own kitchen that I can remember. The cheese had just the right amount of gooey and char. My companion couldn't stop raving about her clam chowder; the amount of clam meat in it was extraordinary. And the taste was divine. My lamb chops were done to perfection, and the mash potatoes and mixed vegetables added just the right amount of balance. My companion's pasta carbonara likewise elicited high praise from her. The entire meal was cooked by the sous chef, the 13-year old younger son of the owner. The older son was our waiter. It's only a half hour drive from where I live; I'll be back there for sure. read more

We dropped by for a couple small plates and a drink as a preview. We got the skewed beef appetizer (kushiyaki) and fries. The former was too chewy/tough. The fries were undercooked; so much so that we sent them back. Another order was brought out--and they were still undercooked. At that point, we gave up. read more

Great place to get some food upscale food in small town Urbana!! The owners are sweet and the menu is always updating!

The food and service was excellent ! Would highly recommend. Good variety of food that isn't your everyday meal .

An excellent addition to a town that lacks in culture. The dishes are a nice mix of many influences, big one being Indian; hence the name fusion. Prices are fitting for the meals and I will say you won't leave unhappy. The wine and craft beer selections are a nice added bonus as well. The best food and craft beer selection you will find in Urbana. read more

Great food and service. I had the chicken carbonara. My other three guests loved their entrees too. I live 3/4 of a mile from the restaurant so it could be dangerous for me... but good for them. Lol. Now that I know about this place, I will definitely be back. read more

This small town gem is always an adventure in tastes. Whether its the mix of beers on tap or the variety of ethnic food of the menu. You are in for a treat. Reasonable prices for the area. Give it a try! read more

I've eaten here a couple times at lunch and as much as I want to like this place I just can't. For the quality and quantity I just find them way over priced. I've had meals that were not bad and others that I just couldn't understand how they could get it so wrong. Luckily, I'm an amazing cook and can honestly say I'm happy cooking at home for less money and much better taste. The wait staff is always friendly so that's a plus and the setting is nice. The addition to outside tables is nice. But, if you're looking for gourmet food I would suggest a drive to the city. read more

Fusion 40.83 combines hilarious pretentiousness, poor preparedness and awful kitchen staff in a unique and exciting way. Their first misstep was not having four separate things we attempted to order in stock (Risotto, Wellington, a beef dish and a beer selection). Then they burnt one of our sides and forgot to recook it. An hour and a half later they informed us that they had forgotten to cook one of our entrees and that person would have to wait even longer. By this point the entire restaurant was full of smoke from the stellar kitchen staff's latest incompetence. Our disingenuous waiter told us we would get half price on the dish they forgot to cook and then four minutes later he shows up with a dish he 'stole from another order' and decided that negated our right to half price. The dish he provided had been special ordered and lacked part of the listed ingredients (mushrooms) but our party was too exasperated to quibble. A full two and a half hours after we arrived we got to pay exorbitant prices and a mandatory gratuity for a haphazard offering of our second choices. The food was good but not great, certainly not good enough to justify ludicrous service, pretentiousness and high end prices. They get two stars because I assume not everybody gets the awful service and the food was not bad but no force on Earth will get me back in that restaurant. read more

Wow, I can't believe we just stumbled into this place. It's awesome. I had caribbean jerk chicken and the boy had Philly steak. Food was fantastic. The chips were homemade, and the people were super nice. The prices are really fair as well. Easily worth the drive up from Springfield. read more

So fortunately I was able to try this place finally and give a review of the actual service and food. First thing I would like to say is that they had the hardest working bar and wait staff I had ever seen. Excellent service all around. The Brie was delicious they bake it fresh so it takes a little longer but definately worth it. I got two main courses they had fresh scallops in so I got that with mash potatoes and mixed vegetables plus I got the Hemingway because he is one of my all time favorite authors. It was a Caribbean pork chop which was amazing. For dessert I got bread pudding,which was again delicious just like the rest of the meal.The dessert was a good portion size. I would definately would recommend this place to anyone I know, but don't get to annoyed thinking it's open when it's not cause I warned you. read more

Great place for a nice meal. The food was fabulous! The staff is friendly and I was impressed that the owners were onsite and working. Little pricey but worth every penny! We will definitely come back if ever in Urbana again. read more

I've been here a few times now and I always gets the same thing. The shrimp scampi. It's so delicious. You get a generous serving of shrimp. My salad was just as delicious. Their lemon vinaigrette is what makes it so good. I wish I had the recipe. I will definitely keep coming back. read more

It was just "okay." Nothing remarkable other than it's in Urbana. Had it been in Springfield or Dayton, it would be just another trendy (a past trend) restaurant. Friday lunch (11:30) and the place was empty. Total of three tables, us included. After ordering it took a long time for the food to arrive (35+ minutes). Good news: chicken tandoori pita sandwich was good. As well as the chicken salad sandwich. "Okay" news: chicken and pepper wrap special was unremarkable but was lacking in any type of taste. Bad news: Crab bisque was inedible. Still can't get the taste out. I like seafood soups (lobster bisque, seafood chowders, etc). But this concoction, ugh. Not good. Waitress was attentive. But, it will probably be a long time before I go back. read more

New lunch menu is wonderful . Generous portions and price is reasonable. All 5 of us had something different and it was all delicious. I did try the French onion soup and it is the only thing I was not a fan of. Too salty for my taste. read more

The atmosphere is great. It is a cute restaurant that gets good marks for effort. The waitress was very pleasant and accommodating. She suggested the flank steak, and I was hoping for something marinated and seasoned. It came out bland, dry, and over cooked. The sauce on it was an instant brown gravy packet. My friend ordered crab cakes, and they were good. We got an appetizer of wild mushroom risotto which tasted like minute rice thrown in to chicken broth and canned mushrooms. Overall, they really tried to be something special, and maybe for the small town, it is, but this city slicker needs s bit more to be dazzled. read more

I got food poisoning after eating here. I called to alert management about the incident, and I cannot get anyone to call me back. They were going to have Remko call me, but that has not happened either. Very disappointing. I was not going to publicly write anything, but the public needs to know, especially since the owner will not acknowledge an issue. read more

Great food and service. Never disappointed when we dine there. Chetty comes up with new specials all the time!

Terrific cuisine right in the heart of Urbana. Asian, fusion, and traditional fare served up with equal skill and results. Welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for stopping by after work, or a romantic dinner and special occasion. Ambience and bar area are first rate. read more

Just finished eating the appetizers I picked up the hot pepper cheese balls and the risotto were awesome, I wish I would of went later so I could of got to try the beef Wellington , I'll have to go back some other Saturday read more

This place has honestly been mostly pretty good. Most dishes are great and with very generous portions, though they are frequently out of specials and even regular menu items. The salmon salad with the chef's own dressing has always been wonderful and has become my go-to dish here. We've also had the pad thai, though I recommend you order it with more spice as it is too bland otherwise. The jalapeno cheese curds are a fun appetizer, and their seafood specials are generally quite exceptional. We were, however, disappointed on our last trip. My husband ordered the blackened swordfish special, which came served in two suspiciously frozen looking pieces. He was chowing down on one piece of fish and encouraged me to try a bite. I took a small forkful from the piece of fish from which he was not eating and was repulsed by the flavor, swishing water and beer in my mouth to get out what was, honestly, a rancid taste. My husband, confused, tried a bit of the fillet I had sampled, and he, too, made a grossed-out face. I tried his piece, which tasted okay. We brought this to the waitress's attention, and she returned a moment later to tell us that the chef had cut both pieces from one piece of fish. I was a little peeved by the response for 2 reasons: 1) the chef was standing, completely within our line of sight, in the kitchen not 15 feet away. If someone said something tasted spoiled, he should have come out himself, not sent the waitress back with an excuse; and 2) they didn't even knock even a bit off the price, even though we clearly left the foul piece of fish on the plate. We had never returned anything from the restaurant, and it's not like we went into the evening trolling for a discount (I mean, we didn't even ask), but come on. Maybe offer a cup of coffee on the house? This was, by and large, the only real problem we've had at this restaurant. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, with fresh flowers on the table daily from a local floral shop. Full bar, nice international offerings on the menu, and a nice rotation of daily specials. It's a bit on the pricey side, and I would recommend business casual attire, though it's not uncommon to see dudes in ball caps and blue jeans. All in all, I'd say give in a try for sure. read more

We were lucky enough to come here a few times on this holiday visit. The first night we ate at the bar and had a great selection of beers and their seafood lasagna and beef barola. Today we had a great lunch. Menus are different for each and great service for both. Will be back next time in town. read more

Manager went out of his way for us. Great drinks and food was good. For this small town, it is pretty urban.

Great food, great vibe in Urbana!!!! The trout was outstanding.....we also had the Pad Thai and Shrimp Scampi which were also good! The waitstaff was outstanding....super informative, and friendly. Kitchen was super fast as well. Highly recommended!!!! read more

The food is generally pretty good except the salad...I really hate the salad. It is usually a good idea to ask them to ease up on the pepper as well unless you like a lot of it. Other than those minor things, food and beer selection is great for this area. read more
