She was courteous and attentive despite us not being in her "section." Food was excellent, we tend to seek out pubs when traveling and Sullivan's did not disappoint. Amazing bangers and mash, Shepherds pie, and fish and chips. We were overly hungry when we arrived as we had planned on snacking at the convention center for lunch only to learn concessions are not open after we arrived. We highly recommend the pretzel bowl with beer cheese and the scotch eggs to get you started these were some of the best we've had. Thank you for a great dinner.

Catfish and fries were good, wish that I would've gotten the cheesesteak instead though.read more

The owner/chef came out to introduce himself since he was informed that my wife and I were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. This was our first time ever at the restaurant and I am disappointed that while living in Peoria, IL for 50 years I never had been there before. Now it's the only place I will go out to dinner at when I am in Peoria. The address is actually listed as 3218 N. Dries Lane in Peoria, IL and is across from the old Landmark Theatre on Dries Ln. You can actually locate it off of University St. also.

This dish was 57$ and I requested the steak be cooked medium rare but more on the rare side. My steak was bordering blue rare. It tasted amazing regardless. I also wish to add that the plating was sloppy, obviously this is just nit picking, but it is something I wished to include. Service was alright, I had to ask multiple times for my sparkling water that I had ordered. This was during a work party and we had a group of around 10 while the restaurant was already pretty full so I understand how it could have slipped their mind, however at a restaurant as professional as this I would have expected better regardless.

I'm basing the rating on the quality of food and service based on the category and price point of the restaurant. Here's what I loved: - the ambiance. Though it's tucked into a strip mall, it has a fun, creative decor with special touches that make it unique and inviting - the menu had a number of interesting options and the food presentation was beautiful! What I wish there would have been more of: - we sat at the bar and felt like the attention and service was underwhelming. We had ordered cocktails but sat for about 20 minutes before someone checked in to see how they were. The cocktails weren't what we had wanted wanted, but we didn't have a chance to let the bartenders know. The bar was moderately busy, but they didn't check in for awhile. - the food was just ok. The price point suggests that we'd have something really delicious, but the flavors were bland and uninteresting. We tried some of the menu items that were suggested. All in all, the experience was ok, but definitely didn't woo us to return any time soon.

This place seem to have really good from scratch cooking methods and was able to accommodate our crazy allergies. Even at lunch, there was a lot of mood lighting and it was pretty dark. They had a lot of antiques and interesting furniture and decorations. As a family with young kids, I do wish they didn't see us next to the naked bodies in the artwork. It was very distracting for one of my kiddos during lunch. We were helped pretty quickly, but it did take a long time to get our food. Our food was outstanding. Everything was from scratch and it tasted really good. The baby really enjoyed it. This sweet potato fries are amazing. I was confused why the restaurant was so empty but perhaps it's because it takes so long to get your food? Or possibly Peoria I just can't support a nice restaurant like that. I was disappointed that I couldn't eat off the dinner menu. I was really looking forward to a few of the things on that menu. Perhaps next time we can get takeout so the kids won't get so antsy and try some of the dinner menu. Thank you hearth for a lovely lunch that was safe for our family!

Hearth has an upscale feel with a smaller dining room that creates an intimate atmosphere. Our server, Becky was very attentive and provided excellent service. She was knowledgeable, and her recommendations were spot-on. Our party of four all ordered the wood-fired charbroiled salmon with a smoked maple glaze, and it was delicious. The entrée comes with your choice of sides. My guests loved the brussels sprouts. I had the collard greens; the flavor was good, though they were a bit gritty. Overall, great food, service, and ambiance. We would definitely return.

It had been years since I had dined here. The decor is probably as old as me. It used to be standard that you grilled your own meat or paid an extra charge for the restaurant to grill it. Now the menu says the grilling is done by the restaurant. However, you can ask to grill your own meat. Most of the dinner options are steaks. There is a Swordfish and salmon choice as well as pork chop and chicken entree. I had a ribeye steak medium well. It honestly was the best flavored steak I had in a very long time. It did have a lot of fat. The salad bar had your iceberg romaine mix (lots of spines which I don't care for). I would like more of a spring mix salad greens. Some pasta salad, potato salad and coleslaw were also on the bar. The croutons were delicious and possibly homemade. Several choice for your potato selection: baked, fries, steak fries, sweet potato fries or steamed broccoli. I would like to see a baked sweet potato as an option in the future. Our server was very attentive to the entire group. We were allowed to bring in our own dessert for after dinner. We supplied our own plates and forks. I am unsure if there was a fee for bringing our own dessert or "plating". They did refrigerate it for us during the meal. I do wish there were more bathroom options. 2 stalls on the main floor and the line can get pretty long not to mention the bathroom corridor is narrow. I asked if there were other restrooms and was told no.

They were able to get a big booth for us and we were all able to scoot around and have dinner as a family. She was really careful about my baby and I allergies and we were able to eat what we wanted without getting sick. My only criticism would be instead of putting seasoned rice on the menu put seasoned rice with peppers because not everyone likes red peppers and it was difficult to interpret what seasoned meant... I assumed it was seasoning powder. I could have probably asked her to get me a different side, but I didn't wanna cause a fuss and I was fine with what I had. I do believe they forgot my broccoli.
