The entree, chicken saltimbocca, was incredibly dry; I almost choked on the first bite of chicken. The sides, dauphinoise potatoes and green beans, were good. Thankfully, the desserts were delicious.

Chef Allen understood the assignment to provide an appealing menu for the wide range of 4-14 year-old students and their families. He even took the time to consider menu prices for that budget-strapping time of year when parents are shelling out monies for all the start-of-school supplies and necessities. We couldn't have been more happy with AtoZ's and would HIGHLY recommend this business for your next catering/block party need! PS: Chef Allen's apple crisp is OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD!!

The food itself has an amount of freshness that I quite honestly have not been able to find outside of homemade from the garden. I got the BLT with tomato soup and it was absolutely delicious, the sandwich had a small kick at the end which I felt added an extra flavor profile. The tomato soup was unique, you could tell that it was house made with garden fresh ingredients by the way it tasted and the way it looked. Didn't taste anything like from the can, this soup was mild and refreshing, lastly the view and outside environment was so relaxing it brought everything together. Would highly recommend :)

It made eating the dish that much more painful. The serving sizes were very large The service was also very friendly. We tried the Dubai cheesecake it was not good, the cheesecake filling also just tasted off

Personal chef services specializing in small private events such as holiday parties, dinner parties, cocktail parties, romantic dinners for two, and business events. From start to finish I believe that a client should be given service that is as unique as they are. I do not offer a "standardized" menu that offers the same 7 dishes that everyone has to pick from. Your menu is created with you in mind and based upon your event, guests, and dietary needs. Prices are all inclusive and include groceries, hourly rate for in home preparation, cleanup and any serving pieces required. As a chef, I specialize in classic French and authentic Italian as well as Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine. In the 14 years I have been a chef/personal chef I have become a master at the art and skill of throwing a swanky EFFORTLESS dinner or cocktail event. Looking for something different? I also offer a "Chef's Tasting" menu which with encompass 8-10 micro courses giving the diner a wide range of tastes and delights, just as you would get in a Chicago 5 star restaurant.

Kiddie corner from Bradley's campus, this is a great place for families making a college visit to stop. I've been many, many times and on this latest Peoria trip stopped for both a breakfast and a dinner. We had great, quick service both times and delicious meals. I HIGHLY recommend the appetizer sampler platter, it is my favorite thing on the menu! A trio of great apps including a creamy spinach artichoke dip with warm bread, perfect pico de gallo with tortilla chips and fresh hummus with warm pita triangles. Perfect for sharing or just having as a meal honestly! We also love the Mac n cheese and burgers! For breakfast, I recommend the Belgium waffle- it is so good!! They have a variety of typical breakfast fare as well.

I got the thai chicken pizza and it was SO good. The hot honey was a little sweeter than I expected, however the jalepeno balanced it well. The hummus also was hands down one of the best I have ever had. Still thinking about it. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was the service. Everything was fine until it came to pay. I don't know if our server disappeared or something but we waited 30-45 minutes to get our check which was semi-frustrating. Anyways, 10/10 food. Very unique. Very different. I recommend!!!
