Signature cafe is a Mediterranean restaurant serving (approximately) $16 bowls that are enormous,…read morefresh, and healthy. The interior is light, bright, and clean. The staff that assembled my bowl was helpful and clearly took pride in her work. I chose basmati rice with chicken, multiple veggie toppings, and an awesome jalapeño sauce. It was fresh, satisfying, full of protein, and lasted me two meals. We were so happy to find this place on our road trip, and will definitely remember it for next time!

I can't tell you how much I love Signature Café. It's just everything I need in a restaurant! I…read morehave a very strict medical diet right now (no nightshades, no olives, insulin-resistant friendly), and I need to hit high protein goals. Ordering a custom bowl here was the perfect solution today. I ordered a base of super greens and brown lentils, topped with grilled chicken and steak shawarma, purple cabbage, cool cucumber, and sumac onions, finished with the garlic sauce. The flavor profile was so rich, fresh, and savory without needing any spicy or nightshade-heavy sauces. The meats were cooked perfectly and the portion sizes are incredibly generous. If you are eating clean, managing blood sugar, or just want a high-quality, flavorful meal, this is the spot in Bloomington. Oh, and bonus, it's locally owned and not a chain. (I'm just sad I forgot to photograph my bowl.)

The owner was wonderful to work with, the food was delicious, and the space and staff were warm and welcoming. The owner and managers worked with me on every aspect: the table setup (from the color of the linens to the number of guests per table); menu options (by providing several gluten-free and vegetarian options for several of our guests); and timing of activities (mingling in the bar, followed by a seated meal, followed by opening of the gifts). So many of our guests complimented the food, the staff and the venue. I honestly could not have hoped for a more perfect event. Thank you!!

We ordered drinks and two special appetizers, shrimp in a spicy cream sauce and pork belly bits with diced mango. Both were delicious. For our mains, we chose: Sassy Chicken Thighs and Brown Sugar Brined Pork Chop. The chicken thighs melted in my mouth. We spoke at length with the manager after our dinner and tried to guess the ingredients in the outstanding sauces. The sassy sauce had in addition to the honey and Dijon, some cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Not too spicy, just enough zip to make it interesting. The pork chop was also amazing. Tender and juicy with a cherry balsamic glaze. We would definitely recommend a visit and plan to return the next time we're in town.

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed…read more I'm disappointed because in my 46 years on this planet, this was probably the best meal I have ever had. Which means everything else is downhill from here. I started with the Buffalo-style chicken wings. They claimed they were "jumbo and juicy." I've heard that line before, so naturally I was skeptical. Then they came out. They were absolutely true to their name. Huge, ridiculously juicy, and coated in what tasted like some kind of cornflake-style breading before being fried to absolute perfection. Crispy. Crunchy. Juicy. Every bite had that perfect crackle on the outside without sacrificing anything inside. Then came the steak. Now, I cook a mean steak myself, and I'm rarely impressed when I order one at a restaurant. Most of the time I'm sitting there thinking, "Yeah, I could've done this at home." Not this time. This was a 14-ounce New York strip cooked medium rare, and I would have been proud of myself if I had cooked that steak. It was so flavorful that asking for salt would have felt like a sin. But somehow, the steak wasn't even the whole story. The mixed vegetables were seasoned perfectly. I hate okra. I'm not exactly the president of the squash fan club either. I ate every last bite. Then there was the potato. I don't even know exactly what they did to this thing. It was cut in a way that somehow allowed it to get crispy all over, inside, outside, probably spiritually too, and then covered in a sauce that soaked into all those little crispy layers without ruining the texture. For dessert, I had a limoncello and the tableside crème brûlée with blueberries, pineapple, and marshmallows. The chef came right to the table and torched the crème brûlée and marshmallows in front of me. The fresh fruit and toasted marshmallow were perfect with the rich custard, and taking little sips of limoncello between bites gave you that hit of sweet citrus that reset your palate just enough to make you immediately want another bite. The service matched the food. Friendly, fun, attentive without hovering, and they even boxed up my leftovers for me. So, sincerely, thank you to the chef and the entire staff. You gave me one of the best meals I've ever eaten... and an entirely new reason to have a midlife crisis.

There were people there, but plenty of tables available and we were immediately welcomed. Service throughout was excellent and attentive (coffee cups never emptied). One key for me when I go to diners is the potatoes. They offer both American Fries and Hash Browns. I got the Hash Browns, which were excellent - nicely browned, cooked perfectly. My friend got the American Fries, which looked great (not the big chunks of potatoes, but a much more cohesive potato dish). I went with the classic eggs benedict. It was good but not great. The eggs were jammy instead of runny (OK), and the hollandaise was a little overpowering. Everything else our group got was great.
