Review Visit: April 18th, 2016…read more This place definitely garners the attention it deserves. On one of my many trips (with a friend that didn't like being in photos), we stopped for pizza at the recommendation of many people we knew. We walked in on a sunny afternoon with empty bellies and high expectations. We were greeted by a friendly staff and a post-lunch winding down of the restaurant. There were a handful of employees who stopped in for a bite to eat but they all were wrapping up to go back to work. We were seated at a table and given menus and some waters. My friend and I have similar taste buds, so we quickly settled on the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza. If memory serves me right, I got my half of the pizza with jalapenos. I do love me a bit of a kick to my food. With the lunch rush past us, we got great service as we were really the only ones in there after about 10 minutes. Our waitress was prompt with everything and just great. It wasn't long before our pizza was brought out to us and boy did it look good. It's not stranger on this blog that I love pizza and Garner's was great. Each bite was full of flavor and each slice being exactly what our bellies needed before we started exploring Bloomington. About the only complaint I would have is that Garner's is in a weird location. It seems to be a newly-built area and I am not entirely too familiar with Morton but it seems to be in a weird location. When my GPS was taking us here, I had doubts the address was correct... but I am glad that I was proven wrong. Garner's was worth the hesitation while driving there.

Absolutely delicious pizza, tasty wings, and friendly service. A new favorite…read more The Family special was perfect for four people.

I lived in Chicago for eight years, and this is easily one of the top five steaks I've had, consistently. The entire menu is solid, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance. It's the kind of place you can bring your family, go on a date, or host an important work meeting, without feeling over-crowded or rushed It's simply one of the finest dining experiences Peoria has to offer.

It always tastes comforting and you can build your bowl exactly how you like it. The grapes here are surprisingly good every time, which feels like a little bonus on top of everything else. They also have one veggie sushi roll that I really enjoy, and the hot and sour soup has plenty of mushrooms, which is perfect for me. The staff is always friendly and quick to help. The interior is fun and bright with lots of orange accents and everything is kept very clean, which makes the whole place feel inviting. There is plenty to choose from and the buffet is easy to navigate without feeling chaotic. I love that there are solid options for someone who leans more toward vegetables. It is nice to have a spot where I can build a satisfying meal and walk away happy. I will keep coming back whenever I want something casual, flavorful, and easy.

I decided to stop at this location at a whim. We are staying nearby to see a comedian in Peoria. I…read morewas looking at places for dinner and this place showed up. I've never heard of it but it seems to have great reviews especially for a Chinese buffet The location was easy to find. However, there was a lot of road construction during my visit. But getting to this place was very easy. They have a shared parking lot with a lot of stores so it shouldn't be an issue with finding a parking spot Inside the building was very clean and it did look very new. It was bright and inviting. We were seated right away. I did enjoy the huge variety of food and different places. Also, they had some dishes that I rarely see in a Chinese buffet. The food was warm and none of them looked old and overstuffed. They seemed to keep a great inventory of food items here. Overall, the food and service was top notch. And I would be back in the future

We celebrated my wife's birthday at Saffron Social, and the entire evening was exceptional…read more The food was outstanding from beginning to end. The steak was excellent, the lobster ceviche was creative and delicious, the carpaccio was beautifully prepared, and the scallops were truly extraordinary. The bread pudding dessert was the perfect finish to an already remarkable meal. A special shout-out to the manager, Mike, who was incredibly gracious and welcoming, and to our waiter, Adrian, who was absolutely wonderful. Adrian was attentive, charming, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist. He made us feel genuinely special and was a big part of what made the evening so memorable. I lived in Los Angeles for more than 40 years and have been fortunate enough to dine at many highly regarded restaurants in the U.S. and around the world. Saffron Social deserves to be noticed in that company. This was not simply a very good meal for Central Illinois, it was an exceptional dining experience by any standard. Most importantly, my wife had a wonderful birthday, and we talked about the meal the entire drive home. Saffron Social is absolutely a restaurant worth seeking out, and we are already looking forward to returning.

The first time I had the Italian Beef and it was amazing! Steaming hot and juicy, the flavor was superb. I had crispy fries with it and they were perfect (at least the way I like them)! I brought half home and when I warmed it up in the oven it was as good as the original in the restaurant. Today I asked about the tenderloin! It's hand made, and so huge it does not fit in the bun. The toppings I ordered were raw onions, pickle relish and mustard. I could only eat about half or less than half. The crispy fries were again outstanding, and brought half of them home. I cannot say enough about the wait staff and the food! I usually go around 1 p.m. and there are plenty of tables available. They also serve homemade pizza which I haven't tried yet. Whoever is leading the food and cooking should get a gold star. There are not too many bar/restaurants that serve quality food at this level. Kudos to all the staff!!!!!!!!
