I ordered the pepper jack curds, side salad, baked potato, and the walleye. Oh wow oh wow. The curds were to die for. The salad and baked potato were so good with my fish. The salad wasn't fancy, just what I like. The baked potato was scrumptious and came out HOT! Now the fish... oof, so so so good! Fried to perfection and so much flavor and just fell apart I dropped 2 pieces on my pants. I got 2 Yuengling draft beers and they came out cold and just when I needed them.

The petite Sea Kist oysters from Rhode Island were very good as were the Pleasant Cove oysters from Maine. We had the Connecticut style lobster rolls ( butter instead of mayonnaise salad style.) The fried clams were also very tasty. I liked the briny taste of the Rhode Island oysters slightly more than the Maine ones. Lobster rolls were only $34 which was quite reasonable. All in all, our dinner including Column Like I See 'Em' American lager from White Oak Brewing in Normal, Illinois came to about $82 each including tip. They also feature local beers from Fairbury, Illinois. Lexington is just outside of Bloomington-Normal and about an hour from Champaign, Illinois. It is worth the drive for such a fantastic dining experience.

My Husband and I ate here about a week ago, and the food was fine. I ordered a BLT sandwich,…read morenothing to complain about food wise. The service on the other hand was our issue. Our waitress (didn't catch her name) a young, short, blonde hair girl. She seemed as if she didn't want to give us proper service due to the fact we came in about an hour before close. She seemed very out of it and didn't look like she was all there. We were concerned that she may have been under the influence of something.. it took her forever to get us our drinks and there was two other tables besides us. After we received our food, she didn't even bother to come check on us once, until we got the check. As we were leaving we happened to pass by the back of the building and we saw our waitress outside who appeared to be smoking something. When she saw us passing by she hid whatever it was, and immediately walked back inside. We were more concerned at how young she looked. But besides our service the food was fine and the price was within reason. I hope this restaurant realize what their staff does behind their back.

So we've been coming here since it opened and in fact had been to its predecessor in St. Louis…read morebefore that. We're pretty familiar with what they used to, and are trying, to be and while we have come to expect lofty goals, it seems like the longer in the tooth this place gets, the more they lose focus. Our most recent Valentines visit reinforced this with some disappointing bar service and a 'special featured' appetizer that took our disappointment to the next level. I get that on a busy night like Valentines, stuff happens, but in this case it was still relatively early (5:30 pm) and they had more than enough employees, it's just that those workers constantly stepped on each other, ignored customers for lengthy stretches, and missed a few details that used to come naturally at this place. Combine that with food delivery confusion and a complete fail on the supposed special feature of "sealed scallops with risotto" app and it left us feeling unfulfilled on what should have been a romantic visit. The next time they offer the scallop app, we strongly suggest they actually do more than wave one side of the scallop over a lukewarm-warm pan (nothing that resembles a 'sear') and figure a way to cut the greasiness of the garlic rice dollops without covering everything in pea tendrils such that you don't notice the lack of sear marks and oily pooling. We give the place three stars based on the still modern and comfortable decor, nice ambiance, robust cocktail & beer selection and the execution of the Tuna Tartare - still one of the lady's favorite bites in town. Perhaps it's just a management/training issue, but it touches both the kitchen and the floor and will hopefully be addressed before our next visit.

The meat was so tender, the onions /peppers were sweet, the sauce so good, and the bread was so soft and had a nice crisp on the outside. The meat was a little spicy but I really enjoyed it however just wanted to point that out for those who may be sensitive to a little heat. The Brussels sprouts had so much flavor. There was a sweet, vinegar, mustard flavor that together really brought out an amazing flavor. The staff were so nice and helped make some awesome recommendations. The ambiance was very welcoming and comfy feeling. The chai tea was some of the best. The chai was perfect it wasn't too spicy and wasn't too sweat like some can be. All around a great experience and I highly recommend this place.

Analytical has a kind of science theme going on with the chemistry artwork. Has quite a few beers to choose from. The inside is big enough for a few friends, just not a massive group, because it's sort of limited on space. Among the few places in town to get craft beers instead of corporate cans. It's for sure not the brewery with the biggest selection but still what they have is actually impressive. There's a pretty good variety. A few are quite limited of course. Small batches usually taste better though. It's about $7 a pint. We had a few including the Analyze This! It's an IPA. This uses Centennial, Chinook, and Simcoe hops for notes of citrus and piney. For sure make a stop here if finding yourself around. It's closed Mondays. They have a few snacks like popcorn, but check on the website for events, because they often have food trucks.
