I quite enjoyed my visit here, from the creative and tasty menu to the excellent service. Though in a mini strip mall, it's cute inside with regular and high tabletops. The playlist is a whole vibe. We had a few appetizers, my favorite was the risotto arancini!, followed by the charred carrots. Both were tasty! The Tandoori pig wings were decent, not my favorite. The entrees were so yummy. I would totally order the bucatini again, that was honestly the best to me, though I had the braised short ribs. They were good, but I wished I'd stuck with my first mind with the bucatini... I was worried about the pepperoni, which I tend to not care for. It was not a problem. The salmon entree is also tasty, so really you can't lose here. I felt confident that whatever was coming out would be a treat. And those beignets ... oh.my!! So tasty!! Excited to go back! read more

Went here for dinner on a work trip. Minimal parking. We got there early so we were able to find a parking spot , but the majority of our team had to park across the street. The place itself is small but super cozy. The design of the restaurant is beautiful. Very modern. Our server was great, seeing as we had a party of 13. I had the salmon and it was delicious. A lot of people in my party had the steak and also said it was good. I was a little disappointed that they only had one type of Cab wine by the glass, the rest were by the bottle. Would highly recommend for a nice date night. Definitely will be back if I'm in Springfield again. read more

Attentive Staff, amazing food, and a chic spot to enjoy an evening out... Or an amazing brunch on Sundays

Great lunches!! 5 stars for lunch! Creative, fresh, high quality and worth the price. Lunch is $15-20. Dinner is $20+ for similar items with a just a few extra items. Dinners aren't bad, but not worth the price. Other places serve better dinners for the same price. read more

Luminary is an artisan vibe restaurant. I've eaten there twice- dinner back in early spring and Sunday Brunch this winter. I didn't review after our spring visit because I was so torn- great appetizers-much less successful entrees. I feel after two visits- I have a better sense of the food they're creating at Luminary. The menu changes from visit to visit. The menu online on the day we visited was different than the menu in the restaurant. The table started with 2 orders of beignet. Each order was 4 beignets- coated in cinnamon and sugar. I would not recommend these- as all were raw/doughy inside. It was unfortunate they were not fully cooked- I don't send food back, so it was what it was. Two diners ordered the 3 course brunch menu. At $30 prix fixe my review is mixed. The first entree's- ricotta pancakes and maple braised bacon were both hits. They were both small portions. The second courses were eggs Benedict and Chilaquiles. These were entree size and both were tasty. The pork on the Benedict was spicy. The third (dessert) course was only a single offering- sticky toffee cake. When I say the portion was a bite- it really was only a bite. If not for the toffee sauce- the cake had very little flavor. The cake itself had a "wheat" taste- not yummy. Our other diners ordered a la carte and included the big boy (burger), Brussels sprouts, and warm burrata. All of the a la carte offerings were tasty and I would recommend. The warm burrata comes with a large sliced baguette. The big boy includes fries. We didn't order cocktails with Sunday brunch- but for dinner in the spring all our cocktails were hand crafted and delicious. Luminary is definitely worth a visit. Great vibe for a date or meeting friends. Food-wise, some great hits and a few misses. read more

My favorite restaurant in the area. Love the creativity of the food. Service is excellent. The atmosphere is feels vibrant.

Went there for a family birthday brunch and felt like they did an excellent job on everything. It was festively designed on the inside while still being elegant. The staff were incredible with being on top of everything, bringing out fresh food, taking away plates and just very accommodating overall. The breakfast brunch buffet seems to have turned out to be a great hit with the bacon being incredibly crisp yet melt in your mouth, well seasoned fried homestyle potatoes, and thick French Toast perfect with the syrup provided. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

We each had two drinks in our party of four and they were a little bit slow in coming. However, everything else was fantastic. I had the pork shoulder. The pickled vegetables, the mustard sauce the pork itself was tender for tender and overall it was just a fantastic meal. Another negative I would say would be. There's a lot of racket with all the conversation in the restaurant. The server was absolutely fantastic. She had a great personality and even had a bone in her nose just a great gal with a lot of personality. read more

Was looking for a Sunday brunch and had never been here. The food is amazing. The presentation is outstanding and the service is very good as well. The place is tiny so it is packed and doesn't have a lot of parking but it's well worth the wait. It's a bit on the expensive side but at the same time it has a very different menu than you can get anywhere else in town. read more

Had an impressive dinner at this restaurant. 4.5 would be most accurate. I ordered a salmon ceviche, a side bread, a ricotta gnocchi and a braised short rib entree. I ordered the ceviche purely out of curiosity -- I wondered how orange and aji amarillo could go with salmon, but surprisingly they combined well with each other, especially the orange added fragrance to the salmon. The gnocchi was even better. It was a comforting, warm dish; each gnocchi dumpling was lightly crispy outside and chewy inside, the asparagus and peas were fresh, and the ricotta sauce added some creamery to the whole dish. Finally I had the braised short rib, which was accompanied by poached egg, white polenta, crushed red pepper tomato sauce and broccolini. The fall-of-the-bone meat was mouth-melting. The pepper tomato sauce then added some sweetness to it. Another creative (and great) thing was the poached egg. Indeed the runny egg yolk went well with the short rib, while the egg white was super tender and subtle! Downside was the bread, which was over toasted and cost me $3.5. Besides, their menu differs much from the one posted on the website. Service was quick and good. My waitress asked my experience about each of the dishes and informed me about the preparation of them. For vibe, the whole restaurant was modernly-decorated, and I really like the candle light on each table, as if I am dining with stars shining around me. Plus, the kitchen is half-open to diners so you can see how they prepare the foods, interesting! read more

Food was excellent, adequate service, noisy. The venue has the ambience of a mid-range breakfast diner. Unusual, for upscale prices.

We had dinner on NYE. Place was packed (they need a bigger space!) but service and food came quickly. We both enjoyed everything we got. The tuna crispy rice bite was so good, wish there was more of it. Another highlight was poached pear/honey butter/bacon dish, could have been a savory dessert. The garlic beignets/braised beef/honey was a fancy take on stew and was fantastic. The pressed chicken/chili verde had the perfect amount of spice and a big portion of juicy chicken. I really enjoyed the line cooks old fashioned. The main scallop crudo was good though I wish the scallops were served ice cold. Overall, a very great dinner. read more

"The worst Bloody Mary in Springfield, ILLINOIS!" I have heard amazing things about this local Springfield eatery and wanted to try Luminary for ages, so when a friend invited me to brunch I couldn't resist and drove over a hour to try this spot. The restaurant: The restaurant is trendy and there is a bustling energy within the four walls. Servers are moving here and there and we had to wait 35min, but we felt it was fair considering the appeal and culinary experience. The menu: The menus is structured differently each week. It's cool and edgy. They have some really neat offerings and I wish we could have tried more. There is creativity everywhere you look. Nothing is ordinary or consistent and that's where things start to unravel. The staff: The staff we interacted with seemed busy but congenial. They were focused on production and quality to meet the demands of the large amount of business. Have you ever had one of those waitresses or waiters who just delights you? A service worker who goes out of her way to make sure your experience is the best? This wasn't any of that. This was transactional and without a personal touch. The drinks: This was such a disappointment. We both ordered drinks and I got a Bloody Mary. Sadly this was the worst bloody I've ever had. It was watery, had very little alcohol, its flavor was that of unripe tomatoes. There was no rim, no salt, very little spice... it was unoriginal as stated by the table next to us. I'd say it was the worst Bloody Mary in Springfield. The food: We both orders from the à la carte menu because we were told we couldn't have certain items unless we ordered the multi course brunch. My friend had a sandwich that was stellar. Her food came 14 min before mine. Mine was cool but decent, nothing spectacular, but wasn't in sync with my companion. I asked for the toppings on my breakfast to be on the side w/ extra butter, they weren't... it was combined. Hint hint - the GF pancakes are not worth it and the mix seems like something Aldi does better anyways. Final thoughts: My friend said it best, "how can so much fun and energy result in such poor product and service?" Good question. This seems like a business that has lost the ability to produce a good product served by good people. They have focused more on "form" and not enough on "function". The good: Trendy & Exciting Cool menu Very busy The bad: Not once did someone ask how our meal was. Not once did anyone check in on us for our drinks. Our meals were not served at the same time. When I asked about our drinks, the bar tender just told us what she did, but didn't ask if we had an issue. We were not welcomed to the restaurant No one introduced themselves. It was expensive In closing - this is a cool place staffed by creative and likely innovative chefs. They take pride in there product and I can tell they want people to have a good experience based on the art and decor. I suggest they spend more time training their staff, because service is everything. Maybe take a lesson from Cracker Barrel, at least there the waitress introduces herself and thanks the customer for coming. That would have gone a long way. I do not recommend eating here. Save your money and go somewhere local that knows the value in serving people well. read more

Food was delicious! My meat, corn, & tater-loving uncle was impressed with how tasty and tender the meat was. I had the squid-ink pasta with shrimp. Delicious! $36 and it is spicy. The restaurant was busy, and although it looks like they have acoustic treatments on the ceiling, it was a very loud place. They were not quick and the time from sitting down, dining, and leaving was right at 2 hours for our table of 8. I was impressed with their timing, all plates arrived at the same time. This is not a place where: "Entrees come with..." Nothing is included with the meal. Several of us took some of our dinner home. Portions are appropriate. I'll be back again! read more

Luminary Kitchen & Provisions - Jerk Sweet Potatoes!!! A must try!!!! - American Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

We had the best food of our lives last night at Luminary Kitchen & Provisions in Springfield, IL. They catered to all three of my dietary restrictions, but what was so impressive is that their food was already so clean and fresh that hardly any adjustments needed to be made. I think we finally understand the concept of cooking as an art. Just as a beautiful painting or book can move you, apparently so can a well crafted meal. These aren't just chefs, they are artists. We will definitely be back. I give it 7 out of 5 stars. P.S. I never heard my husband say he could cry because his food was so good, but that was his response to the lamb dish that was bursting with flavor. And we thought we didn't like lamb. I think our favorite was the pork collar though, perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. I seriously need some cooking lessons now, because apparently I have no idea what I'm doing. read more

Well well well. This is by far my favorite place in Springfield for brunch food. Don't miss out on their specials, either! They have something for everyone and it's most likely something you've never had or a familiar food made in a new and delicious way. Staff here is incredible, professional, and quick. Food also came out fairly fast and was made perfectly. I would not change a single thing about this place. Branch out, invited a friend, try something new, Springfield! read more

We went here with a group of friends on 8/9/24. We made reservations for our group of 12. The seating accommodated our group. The service was poor and slow. Worse, some of us ordered the New York Strip which looked more like sirloin. The "chef" insisted it was the New York Strip. I've never seen a New York strip so thin in places that it was less than a quarter of an inch thick. It was round, and flat. I would encourage folks to go elsewhere if you're looking for a nice steak. read more

Long review but worth the read - esp in the post covid service industry. Luminary is by far the best restaurant in Springfield! We have been there 3 times in 6 months and have thoroughly enjoyed our experience each and every time and was our new favorite place after the first visit. First, the food and drinks: the food is so incredible. We have tried 6-8 different things on the menu, (one lunch date and two dinner dates), and each appetizer or meal is just as good as the next. Each meal is so meticulously paired with all the flavors on the plate. Each one is unique, and DIFFERENT than what you find in 99.8% of the restaurants in Springfield. I am so impressed with the fusion of innovation on classic meals. (Highly recommend the Canterbury Prime Ribeye with mojo fries and Cuban slaw. Literally the best dinner I've ever had.) The drinks are SO good, so well crafted and clever! I love the drink names! Second, the service and atmosphere: the vibe in the restaurant is so calm and they play great music! Everyone is there to eat a good meal, nothing rowdy or overly loud. We have seen the same people working each time we have been in there. Servers, kitchen staff, and the owners. Every single time the service is impeccable. Quick, SO informative and knowledgeable about the drinks and food menu. Friendly and personable, and you can tell they LOVE working there! They all operate like a big family! I'm the post covid world, we have had 75% of our dining out experience be poor due to the staff. The complete opposite can be said for Luminary! We had 3 different people fill out water glasses last night. They all work together to make sure every table is taken care of and enjoying the dining experience and atmosphere. Third, supporting a small business: last night at dinner I posted a picture of Grant as soon as we got there about it being our last date until the wedding, tagged them, and then we put our phones away. After our meal, and dessert was ordered, one of the servers (not ours) came over to our table with a bottle of Rosè, and two glasses. We were so confused at first that we didn't order that. The owner, Aurora, had seen my post on Facebook, and sent over the bottle as a congratulations to us on the wedding, and to thank us for our support. I cried, lol. It was so unexpected, but so so so incredibly sweet. We were just absolutely floored that she would do something like that for us. It was already to go without saying, but this is one of the only restaurants we will eat out at from now on. We are very particular where we want to spend our money, and wouldn't want to go hardly anywhere else but here to support these kind folks!! If you haven't been, go online to their website Luminarychefs.com, and get yourself a reservation, I promise you will not regret it. Thank you Aurora and Jordan for creating our facorite restaurant. I hope you're open for the next 100 years read more

This place is consistently putting out a great product and the customer service is impeccable. Came here for our anniversary and it was a perfect evening. The Shishito Peppers and Shrimp Gambas were perfect starters and the cocktail menu is expansive and touches on all spirits to satisfy anyones palate.

The crème brulée tart was also a nice compliment to the meal. read more

I came here on Mother's Day and really enjoyed the menu they had for this time. I ordered the Burrata Salad, Nduja Grilled Cheese, and a Strawberry Crepe.

I would most definitely come here again, and I will be sure to refer this place to my friends and anyone I know. My overall experience and rating for this place is a 5 star. My Compliments to all the workers and the Chef. read more

We had a tasty and satisfying lunch at Luminary. The Harvest Breakfast Salad was as good as I recalled it from American Harvest, and the Thrilla from Tortilla (chicken tortilla soup) was a real pleasure. Note that both of these dishes are rather peppery. My companions had the Matty Matheson (Halifax donair gyro), which they enjoyed. The staff was skillful and friendly and the seating comfortable. I'm giving Luminary three stars because of the incredibly high noise level; it was impossible to carry on a conversation! I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from eating at Luminary, but just be aware that you won't be able to hear your meal companions when they speak. But the food was wonderful. read more
