Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cake

My cake had GLITTER on it and everything was delicious, fabulous, just so amazing!! The perfect post-finals treat. Back patio was so cozy and welcoming, and server was fast, attentive, and so friendly! My new fave

Coconut Cream Pie

Stopped by Global Gourmet with my family on our road trip, and we all loved it. It's a small but elegant restaurant with a diverse menu. All our meals were exquisite. The salmon was cooked to perfection. It was flaky and delicious. It was topped with a peach-poblano salsa and barbecue sauce, which added a layer of spice and flavor. The red snapper was delightful. It was perfectly cooked and paired with a unique and delicious side, corn and okra. The chicken was a bit bland, I prefer it slightly more flavorful but it was cooked perfectly. The potato du jour was phenomenal, very creamy and almost melted in your mouth. Now desserts. The pecan pie was very yummy. The outer layer was crispy and the inside was thick and creamy, giving off a variation in textures. The coconut cream pie was outstanding, very creamy with coconut flakes on top. The peanut butter cup, great in flavor almost like a peanut butter whipped cream was delicious but a sugary overload, only needed about two bites before it was sickening sweet.

Global Gourmet is as classy as you can get in Southern, IL, and they know how to make a GOOD craft cocktail. I absolutely love this spot, and I come every time I come back to visit my alma mater. This is a beautiful, upscale restaurant that we deserve! The food rotates nightly depending on what the chefs want to make. You can always expect a type of seafood, steak, and pasta dish. I get so excited to hear the options each time I come in. I usually end up with the steak, while my fiance gets the pasta dish. We've been able to share each time, but do what works for you. Don't be shocked at the prices. Expect to drop at least $30 for an entree and cocktail. It's worth it. The drinks are reasonably priced in my opinion. If you're used to the simple rum and coke, this place is not for you yet. Stick with dollar night. If you're interested in expanding your palette and experiencing something more than a two ingredient mixed drink, you've found the right place!

They use a large patron bottle for water

This is one of the best restaurants in town. With an ever changing menu and a dark atmosphere, this restaurant is probably one of the more sophisticated ones around here. You would definitely take someone here on a first date because the prices are high and the mood is mysterious and romantic. I went here on Bastille day this year and the food was excellent. Everything I tried was great. No real problems with anything. However, the service was probably the crappiest I've had in Carbondale. The waitresses took forever to get menus, take orders, and give us water. They forgot drink orders and were hard to flag down. I hate bad service, but I like their food. The wait staff is a bunch of college students so you can image the service you get. They need to take a cue from Hunan. The one interesting thing about this restaurant is that it is the only one that I have ever been to that gives me a full-page invoice for my check. Weird.

Maple-Cider Vinaigrette Spinach Salad
Don D.

My wife and I recently ate at the Global Gourmet on the recommendation of the hair dresser. We arrived to a quaint little restaurant with Christmas lights and snow covered windows and a single table on the side walk outside. I was initially reluctant to get out of the car because a large man in his Christmas pajamas who looked homeless was in front of the restaurant. As I went inside I found out it was Tibby who is one of the proprietors who sat us at our high top table by the window and proceeded to enamor us with conversation about us and people we both knew in our small town. Our server was prompt and delivered a nice Sicilian Moscato (Villa Pozzi) that complimented our Stuffed Mushrooms and Spinach salad nicely. The appetizers while looking great, lacked flavor. The maple-cider vinaigrette seemed to be missing the cider or v in the salad dressing and the four small mushrooms seemed overwhelmed by the greens. The entrees were good - not great. The salmon was overcooked on the thin end of the salmon and while the pomegranate arils was a nice garnish, the pomegranate soy glaze was understated. The Filet Mignon was served beautifully on a bamboo cutting board. It had a perfectly cooked interior and was a wonderful piece of meat but it was ruined by the burned Au Poivre Burgundy Pepper Sauce outer layer. The pan grilled vegetables and potatoes looked great but the potatoes seemed old or had some off flavor I could not recognize. The chocolate with Raspberry cake was lovely looking and tasted heavenly but the top chocolate layer was hard, thick and served with soup spoons. That combination insured that we smashed the cake when trying to eat it. Overall the food was good, the atmosphere was pleasant but for the $95.00 tab, I expected more and the chef needs to pay more attention to their execution...

Ambiance- 5/5 Service 5/5 - Our server was excellent and…read moretook her time with us. Super friendly. Wine- overall I would probably say a 4/5. For the flights they are served in plastic cups. My favorite was the crimson eclipse. Food- 3/5. We ordered some appetizers and they were a little disappointing/did not match the description of the menu. The margarita pizza was a little spicy. Fruit and cheese plate had some nice jam, but the presentation was off. Crab cakes were small. Also, the menu on their website was slightly outdated. I would still recommend this location as it's very classy, great for groups, and plenty of parking. Service was excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating.

For a cocktail or bottle of wine Id guess they meet expectation. The food menu is very limited. The…read morefood was mid to low quality. We ordered appetizers a calzone ( burnt in on end, blackened on the bottom -bitter tasting) and a sandwich ( warm, chips oily and soggy). It seems like there are only 2-3 staff working on a graduation / Mother's Day weekend ???? Service was slow but these folks were clearly overwhelmed. They were polite and apologetic for the food preparation time. There were very few folks there so they weren't slammed busy and overwhelmed, just overwhelmed. We likely won't be back. $325 Dinner and drinks bill and any chain place with mid quality drinks and food ( Chilis, Applebee's, Cheddars, ) would be 1/2 the cost and clearly better. An upscale place ( Flame, Texas Roadhouse, Outback) would be a way bether choice for comparable money. The Venue is stunning and looks clean. Hopefully they get it together, or get someone in the space who can. Disappointed at best.
