I got the filet prepared blue bell style which had a blue cheese sauce, portobello mushroom, and shallot marmalade. It was cooked to perfection and super flavorful. I upgraded to garlic mashed potatoes, which were excellent. Unfortunately, our server was inattentive after placing our order. Our drinks had been empty for awhile and when we got our entrees and our server said she'd be back with refills. A food runner came by with drinks after about 10 minutes but they were for a different table, so he left. No one ever came back with refills. Eventually after we were done with our entrees for quite some time, our server finally came back to give us the check. For a nicer establishment in Quincy, I would hope to get good service.

We had one of the most enjoyable meals of our lives here! Service was friendly with a smile and many patient answers for our many questions. Turns out we love Turkish food. We had only had it once or twice before. LaBinnah Bistro is simply magnificent! We started with the Dolma appetizer. I have a soft spot for grape leaves, and these were outstanding! Definitely top three that I've ever had. My wife had the Istanbul shrimp and she loved them. Her boiled potatoes and asparagus were cooked exactly to her liking. I had the Saç Tava, which is Turkish stirfry beef with yellow peppers and tomatoes. I think there was some garlic in it. It was served with the best saffron rice I've ever tasted. We were completely spoiled with this Turkish home cooking. SO GOOD! We had a delicious and reasonably priced bottle of wine and the Godiva tall chocolate cake for dessert. It was moist and delicious but not overpoweringly sweet. Look at my photos of the interior of this place it's just charming and quaint. So lovely. We were visiting from the Kansas City area and we are absolutely enamored with this little restaurant and we will be back as much as possible!!!

I had the Chili Mac with a side salad. The latter was kinda small. The entree was fine. It was made with angel hair pasta, so that was unique. I make mine with elbow macaroni, hence Chili MAC. My wife had the 8 ounce sirloin which was absolutely fantastic!!! She totally out ordered me!! She had the baked sweet potato for her side. That steak. Man. Just SO good!! We both agreed the salad dressings here were special. She had blue cheese and I had 1000 Island. It was not orange like the cheap stuff. This was great! We'd absolutely return here to dine and split the 16-ounce sirloin. There's a $5 split plate fee, FYI.

The chicken was probably the best seasoned chicken she'd ever had on a salad like that. It was fresh and was loaded with sweet strawberries. I had the Cajun seafood fettuccini The pasta is house made my dish was loaded with shrimp and calamari I still can't get over how good those mushrooms were in the dish. They were so fresh. And it was not very spicy. Sometimes when they say Cajun it just means hot. This dish just had a very nice seafood taste with a bit of a Cajun flair. We both had leftovers. Coffee was really good Our waitress was excellent and food came out very quickly. Manager was also out on floor checking on people. Bonus was the guy singing He was good too It is a little pricey but from what I could see the quality and service is worth it We don't get to Mt Sterling often but will definitely go back here.

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.

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. Waitress was the MVP, always checking on us. Cannot wait to stagger in to this place again and again!

We needed up going over to the bar side for all our drinks (including water since she never brought mine). I also ended up taking others water and lemonade cups to the bar side for refills. We had to ask for menus and to place an order. It was absolutely pathetic! Never once did she apologize for the delay - anyone who has ever waited tables (yes, I did in college) knows you apologize for the delay and get people more drinks! Not once! There was another younger girl who was hustling - taking orders out, refilling things on the salad bar etc, but unfortunately, ours was set at a much slower pace. Her tip was not good and it was still more than I think she deserved. So disappointing since the food really was good!
