My wife took me to Table 19 as a surprise several weekends ago. The wine selection is nice; however, the price for a glass of wine is expensive for the amount you receive. The food is good, but again pricey for what you get. For an appetizer, two steaks dessert and a glass of wine each, our bill was just over $145 (without tip). read more

I have had breakfast here a few of times and each time is better than the last visit. That is a major accomplishment as it has always been outstanding. More often I have had the breakfast buffet. The display and selection is outstanding. The farm fresh eggs. The fresh fruit even in the cold weather is absolutely amazing. I have no idea where they get such fresh fruit. On one occasion I met the chef and we had a delightful conversation. Lisa, a waitress during breakfast, is an absolute gem. She is so pleasant and courteous. as I have ever seen. One of these times I will have dinner there but so far my schedule hasnt allowed it. I keep hearing rave reviews on the dinners there. read more

We made reservations for two for our five year anniversary. Only problem is when we got there they are not open on Sunday nights. They made us a reservation for the hotel bar. Who does that? Real buzz kill on our special night. Even got a confirmation text for our reservations. read more

Went to Table 19 during the IHSA basketball tournaments (yeesh). We parked in a parking deck in between the Civic Center and the Pere Marquette - we paid $5 but later realized we could have told them we were going to the Pere for dinner and we would have received a ticket to get validated, just something to keep in mind. The redone lobby area and bar of the Pere Marquette is amazing...very modern and inviting. The hotel bar was extremely busy, due to the tournament crowds. Table 19, on the other hand, was not busy at all....during most of our dinner, we were the only ones there - on a Friday night. The service was very good, our server was very attentive and any other servers who helped out were friendly as well. Onto the food. As someone else mentioned, the wine prices aren't very good - I paid I think $12 for 12 oz of wine (you can order 6, 8, or 12 oz which I guess is an interesting concept). We started with calamari and roasted brussel sprouts. The calamari was ok, kind of chewy, but the brussel sprouts were really good! They were served along with cauliflower, covered in some kind of yummy sauce. I would recommend those as a starter, and they also come as a side. I had the red paparadelle noodles - basically just noodles, marinara, some ricotta cheese, and tomatoes. Tasted like something I could make at home, I wasn't super impressed. Two of the party ordered steak, which were fine, again, nothing special, and the fourth ordered the white papardelle noodle dish, which she really liked. I had some blueberry cobbler for dessert, but was disappointed (it tasted like blueberry pie filling). With an appetizer, two entrees, one glass of wine, and a dessert, it ran about $100. It was an alright meal, but for the cost, I would probably pick somewhere else. read more

The ambiance and service were both excellent. They were able to accommodate our party of 9 at 2pm when they generally close, and were able to provide food from the dinner menu although they weren't yet prepared for dinner. Since we arrived at 2pm, we were really the only patrons in the restaurant, so we had a waitress AND beverage staff all to ourselves, and therefore service was top notch for us. However, the meal was just OK. I will start by saying the water was definitely bottled, as it did not have that usual, awful Peoria taste. However, the fountain drinks water source was definitely tap, as the Pepsi tasted like no cola I've ever had. After 1 Pepsi, I opted for the water for the rest of my meal. The deviled eggs, bone in wings and entrées were all less than what I would expect from this restaurant. I would say the food was sub par. I had the smothered pork chops which were not smothered at all. They were fried, and VERY dry and some sort of compote on the top. The green beans were overcooked and the mashed potatoes were bland. Other family members had meatloaf and French dip. There were no glowing comments during dinner about how fabulous anything tasted. Comments after dinner revealed that we all shared the same opinion...it was just ok. There were compliments about the bathrooms, just so you know we did notice the good things. The price wasn't as high as it could be given the atmosphere and location, but after tasting the food, I would have complained had it been any higher. They should re-evaluate their menu offerings and, as someone mentioned in another review, taste their own food. I would say the food was probably in line with hospital PATIENT food (cafeteria food is generally better than patient food). I would go here again for the bar or sandwiches, but not a place I'd recommend at all for dinner a special occasion. read more

Service is horrible. I have been waiting for 15 minutes, no server. Placed my order finally, but haven't seen my waitress since. 15 mins now... Don't recommend. read more

The salmon and the prime rib that we had both first-class our waiter David did a wonderful job five stars all the way.

Went to table 19 for a friends party, everything was great the Brussels sprouts were the best I've ever had , the whole meal was excellent , the service was awesome. read more

If there could be a zero star option that's what I'd give it. The place is slow, it took us 2 hours to get lunch. We orders soup, salads, and sandwiches. Majority of the wait staff was rude, only met one kind server that was helpful. The food was warm, but not worth the 2 hour wait. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place. Though the food wasn't horrible (Still wasn't the best food I've ever had and it was a bit pricy). The service was, waitress came to our table maybe twice even though we continuously tried to get her attention. We had dirty dishes piled up on our table that no one bothered to clear off. After we were done eating we waited another 10 minutes because we wanted to get a dessert menu but when out waitress finally came to our table she set down the check and walked away. Ended up going somewhere else for dessert. read more

My wife and I had dinner at Table 19 for our anniversary and we were pleasantly surprised after reading some negative reviews. We arrived about 10 minutes early and were promptly seated. Our server Jason was never very far away but didn't hover over our table. The manager on duty, Eric, came to our table calling us by name as he introduced himself. That was a very nice touch. Our food came promptly, well plated and very good. I would highly recommend Table 19 and we plan on going back. read more

DNR means something in a hospital, to a restaurant it means Do Not Return. Of the measly 3 tables in use they could not manage to get our dinner right. Undercooked food, unimaginative offerings, loud music, and what you would expect: hotel food. For over $100 for 2 people-2 wines, 2 salads, 2 entrées one might expect 1 home run. OK wine was good. " Must Have Caesar" was brown lettuce, bottled dressing, and tons of left over bread cubes. Steak was slimy and way under cooked, blue instead of medium rare. Didn't bother with desert as it was all frozen cheesecakes. Never again-DNR. read more

Well, I really wanted it to be better. We dined on a slow night, so perhaps the excellent chef was off. The service was very good, with friendly greeting and waiter. But the food was very bland. It was cooked fine, just not at all like the menu sounds. My friend had the shrimp & grits, and did not like the sticky soy-type sauce. I guess it's from the Low Country of Asia. I was really wondering what fennel pollen tasted like, and am still wondering. My salmon was hot, perfectly cooked, not dry...and oh so bland. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, can hold lots, and the food was nicely presented. If you are staying at the hotel, it's not a bad choice. If you are a local, there may not be any reason to dine here. read more

This was an extremely disappointing choice in restaurants. We went prior to a show at the Civic Center. They were not busy, as indicated by the empty tables. Our waitress had an 11-top seated right before the 5 of us. She explained that she was told half way through the other tables order that we were there. It wasn't an apology, more of an excuse by a pretentious waitress. These excuses continued throughout the night, most of it starting with "we're really busy" or "the kitchen is really busy". As a consumer, I'm not interested in the excuses. The food was horrible. From the tap water put into pretty blue-capped bottles but tasted of chlorine to the fennel encrusted salmon that funneled or crusted, horrible. We waited 20 minutes for drinks, which the waitress stated should come out right away because the bar wasn't busy, but then stated they were really busy when she dropped the drinks off. There were about 7 people sitting at the bar and 3 bartenders. The salmon, the same salmon you can buy in the freezer section at a grocery, no kidding, had no taste. The fries were soggy. The brussel sprouts were half brussel sprouts and half cauliflower. They couldn't find mustard for the burger or steak sauce for the steak. What?!! The A1 she brought out had about a tablespoon left in the bottle. We were made to feel like we were inconveniencing her whenever we had to track her down and ask her for something because this waitress never came back to check on us. When we asked for another bottle of A1 her exasperation was evident even to my 13 year old. She did find one at the bar (good grief, the bar) because she didn't want to bother the sous-chef. He "was busy." Frankly, I don't know what they would have done if they had been busy. The only way the food could have been worse is if it wasn't cooked. High priced garbage food. read more

First where do I begin. My wife and I check into the hotel and first decided to make reservations at Table 19 because it sounded good and we were tired from our drive. Using the hotels internal phone I make a call down to see if we could make a reservation or if they have room for walk in's. It goes to voicemail, I figure the hostess is busy and I hang up and figured I'd try again in a few minutes, same thing happens but this time I push 0 and it transfers me to the front desk. The front desk host apologizes and says that being transferred to voicemail is unacceptable and she takes my information saying she will call back with a reservation. Five minutes later she calls back and confirms we have a 6PM reservation for that evening. Thats plenty of time for me and my wife to sit down and enjoy dinner so we can go see Wicked next door at 8PM. We go down to the restaurant and we are second in line waiting for the host to take our reservation and seat us. Then the manager comes out and says that if you do not have a reservation that you need to order your food at the bar as you will not be seated at the restaurant. Then he asks if anyone has reservations, I raise my hand and say I do and he takes us to our seats. 25 minutes later after sitting down the bus boy actually brings us water and rolls and says our waitress will be with us shortly. About 15 minutes later she shows up and asks to take our order. We place our order and she leaves. Note here I look around and there are 5 tables actually seated 3 of which have their food already, so we make table number 6 with 2 waiters working. We wait and wait and wait some more. We waiter come out one time to tell us that our food is coming. We never had the rolls refilled or the bottle of water they bring out for us. Finally at 7:20 PM our food shows up. I tell the waitress we are trying to catch the show like everyone else and would like our check so we don't have to wait. I actually pay for my food before I even get a chance to taste it. The food was in poor style and rather disappointing for the wait. I may come back to stay at the hotel but I will take my business elsewhere for my lunch and or dinner. Pros: We made it to the show Cons: Horrible service, unending waits, over salted food. Spend your money somewhere else read more

Dinner was okay. Nice atmosphere and service. However the food did not have a lot of flavor.

Ordered a 'Texas steak' , and was served the Rhode island version maybe the size of my palm, ate it with an empty glass sitting in full view of the waitstaff & bartenders read more

Reservation made ,confirmed yet not met.. Wedding party and family seated in many different areas total cluster... No apologies except for our servers Chelsea, she was awesome ... No resolutions as of yet. Never would I recommend this restaurant read more

Would not go back! Had a reservation at 6:15 and were seated promptly. Waitress took our order at 7:15. Took another hour to get our entrees. 3 entrees came 10 minutes later. For an upscale restaurant, they definitely do not have it together. Staff are not trained and food is not that good. This place needs a lot of work! I don't see this place making it in Peoria. Plus we were charged the highest possible tip which was not deserved. Way too high priced for the quality. read more

I just wanted to express my extreme displeasure of the service we received at Table 19 yesterday (Mothers Day) at the Peoria Marriott Pere Marquette. We had reservations for 14, and when we got there, there was only seating for 12. Luckily, we had a last minute cancellation for 2 of our group, so no problem. Most of us ordered the breakfast buffet, just a few off the menu. There was one man doing a great job on the omelet station, but while we were in line, he just leaves for about 10 minutes, apparently to restock. There was no bacon, no pastries, no butter for toast, and no syrup for the pancakes. We were told that the bacon probably would not be replenished because of the large buffet upstairs. When I complained to the manager, he asked "what do you want me to do about it?" He eventually conceded to take 15% off our bill, but even then, that was not done until we pointed it out. No apologies from anyone. For the people that ordered off the menu, their meals came about 10 minutes apart. My nephew that showed up a bit late, ordered off the menu, never got his food, and was told, oh sorry, I thought you had the buffet. We were very much looking forward to treating my mom to a great breakfast, but she and everyone else were very disappointed. As a resident of Peoria, I was very much looking forward to this much touted restaurant, and treating my mom to a top notch breakfast. Sadly, this was not the case. read more

Went here to celebrate my birthday in October and it was somewhat disappointing. Not what I was expecting at all. They claim to be farm to table but clearly they are not by the look of the pale white strawberries served on our dessert. I had the scallops and they were just OK. Barely seared and looked soaked in oil and not pan seared at all. Not worth the price. The atmosphere is beautiful but it didn't make my dining experience any better. Service was just OK. Didn't really run out of anything but she was just bland and seemed to just go through the motions. Probably won't ever go back. read more

Nice, quiet atmosphere. Went with friends for New Year's Eve dinner. Waiter was nice. Food was brought out in a timely manner. We all had the New Year's Eve special, filet, shrimp, salad and dessert. Salad, Walnut Pear salad, was real good. Fresh salad, sweet dressing. Filet was great! Perfect medium rare. Potatoes were tasty. Green beans were crisp and fresh. The shrimp were huge and left a bit to be desired. A bit over done. Dessert was fantastic! All in all, we had a pleasant experience. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner experience at Table 19. The food was excellent, so was the service. The atmosphere is very cozy and everyone was attentive to make our evening enjoyable. Great job!!!! read more

Stephanie the server was excellent. She was really nice to my large party. The food was great too!

With such a small menu you think they would be able to execute flawlessly. Unfortunately that sin't the case. Went with a party of 8 and after every course everyone said the same thing, "it was under seasoned." I don't think they know what salt is over there. To say their food is bland is giving them a compliment. You couldn't pay me to eat there again. read more

Fantastic! Not a fan of of the white chairs, as I was afraid the get them dirty, but the food was great as was the service. I come to Peoria monthly for business meetings and this was a great, warm environment to eat and discuss business. The staff was friendly and not pushy to make us leave, even though they were quite busy and had patrons waiting to be seated. Will come back here for sure. read more

Service was good. Menu had me excited but food ended up ok. I had salmon and Brussels sprouts. Also asked for 6 oz glass of wine but was charged for larger glass. Hadn't seen 3 different sizes/charges before. It wasn't busy yet we got sat right next to another table. I'm not a fan of being so close to others while trying to hold conversations read more

will never dine at this restaurant again. service was extremely slow. skirt stake was ok, yucca fries were good, salad was inedible and so were the spinach because of too much salt. Creme Brule was not available, and that's the second time out of my three visits here.It also took ten minutes to inform me that they were out. A shame, because the one only time that I was able to get it, it was really good. This time I had to get Panna Cotta in its place. Just terrible - hard and frozen, it was nothing like panna cotta. You can't call panna cotta something that it's completely different in texture and flavor. And a small piece of mildly flavor ice shouldn't be served in any restaurants. Extremely disappointed, this was my third and last visit here. read more
