If you…read moreget a $16 roll and a $10 roll and really take the time to enjoy each mouth full of those true works of art (tip of the hat to Hadi).. eyes closed ..face skyward.. all attention on your tastebuds to give the experience the attention it deserves.. you'll take half of each home and get two meals. Technically that $30+ tab is more than you'd spend for a burger and fries and a shake someplace.. but thats one meal..and its fast and its done and did you really need or want that calorie count? that fat and sugar? starch and salt? It tastes good you say? ok.. try this instead.. take half home. two meals at about the same price per meal.. much better for you and when I say ART.. I mean ART. Like taking your tastebuds to a live concert with Bach and Mozart playing and the opener is OG Queen. As to the economics.. If you buy at a chain..thats an organization designed to funnel money up and OUT of your community as much as possible.. if you eat at say Cinco in Streator or any locally owned and operated and incorporated restaurant more of the money stays local to swish around in the local economy. OH and of course, healthier eating in both cases. real food. A solid platter at Cinco usually gets me at least two meals and thats if i dont mix in the leftovers to punch up my own tacos or soup or whatever I'm cooking

First time experience here. I met two friends there…read moreprimarily to see a solo musical artist called FiddleRock, but also to socialize, eat, drink, and be merry. The restaurant/bar is on the second floor of the building, located on the south side of the Illinois river between two marinas. We sat on the deck and had a meal and drinks. The view was great from the deck, overlooking the river, especially this time of year (summer). We all had Mexican style food, and all agreed it was very good. The drinks were cold and reasonably priced, and our server was adorable. The other staff we we interacted were also very nice. After eating, we moved inside and enjoyed the music, continued socializing, and of course, enjoyed more drinks. Both food and drink prices were very reasonable, in my opinion. I plan on returning. I just wish it wasn't so far away from me!

I had the pleasure of dining at Ryan's Eatery, and it was a remarkable experience. Knowing Ryan's passion for opening his own restaurant, I was eager to try his creations. To start, the French onion soup with homemade croutons under a layer of cheese was simply divine. The combination of rich, savory broth, crunchy croutons, and gooey cheese was a flavor explosion. It left me craving for more. For the main course, I opted for the fish with a creamy sauce served with mashed potatoes and veggies. The fish was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist, and the creamy sauce complemented it wonderfully. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the veggies were cooked to a perfect crispness. My dining companion chose the pork chops and peaches, again with the same sides. The pork chops were tender and flavorful, and the addition of peaches gave them a delightful sweetness. It was a harmonious blend of flavors. To top off our meal, we indulged in two delectable desserts: the peanut butter cake and the raspberry lemon cake. Both were heavenly, with the peanut butter cake being rich and nutty, and the raspberry lemon cake providing a refreshing, tangy contrast. In summary, our dining experience at Ryan's Eatery was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was bursting with flavor and had impeccable texture. It's safe to say that Ryan has turned his dream into a culinary reality, and I can't wait to return. It won't be long before I'm back for more of these delightful creations. read more

It's not one of my usual drinks but I decided to give it a try. Glad I did! We didn't have dessert only because they had some sweets up front in their case that looked delicious so we got some of those instead.

We were seated in their second dining room which was away from the bar and main dining room. We were kinda bummed we got sat there but it ended up being ok. There was a large party seated behind us so it was quite noisy. We ordered martinis which were good. For an appetizer we got the fried pickles and those were delicious. Full of dill pickle flavor and the breading was very light. I ordered the salmon and sautéed spinach which was one of the specials. My dinner companion hit the rib eye and blackened shrimp. Both entrees came with a salad and the steak with a potato. Our appetizer and salads came out right away. The salad was very disappointing. Only lettuce pretty much, no tomatoes or anything else. I think it might have had cucumber. Very lack luster. My salmon and spinach was great!! I enjoyed it and the salmon portion was generous. I had enough to take home. The ribeye was cooked medium rare as requested and it was very good. Shrimp was great and had a nice spice to it. The French fries were cold though. Service was ok. I would definitely try them out again but be warned that they are a bit overpriced. Parking is terrible and you need a reservation. The patio was nice and I loved the fire places. There was live music that night. Overall good place for maybe a special occasion.

First time there I had the fish tacos. The tacos were good. Good flavor and they didn't skimp on the mahi. The second time I was there I had the catch of the day and I chose the grilled tuna. That was also good. Our only complaint was my boyfriend's dish, mojo pulled pork sandwich. It was very salty! We also ordered the wings and the peel and eat shrimp as appetizers. Now to my favorite part, the cocktails. I had a mojito flight which was amazing. We also ended up there during happy hour and tried some of those drink specials. The real reason why I would go back again is for the atmosphere. We ate outside both times and I felt like I was on vacation. The restaurant has a water view which I loved. The restaurant is open, airy, the outside area is amazing and the view is great. Both times we had friendly and attentive servers.
