Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Bloomington / Normal

Visiting from another state. Very nice atmosphere and service. Well run establishment. One of the best experiences, while traveling the Big 10 football cities

This was our second time at Baxter’s. Jacque was our server, and he was really the best ! He interacted with us and made sure we were taken care of. He was so personable and made sure our visit was outstanding. The food was excellent. We had the Thai shrimp for appetizer. Excellent choice ! A little spicy and fantastic. We had the prime rib which was cooked perfectly to medium rare and served with au jus and horseradish. We had million dollar margaritas. Wow ! Those were a treat. For dessert we had the bread pudding. More ice cream would have been nice but overall a great finish to the meal. I would definitely enjoy going back for this kind of experience. The server really made it great.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Johah's today. Excellent food and service. Table with a view looking out at the river, beautiful day. We all had excelent meals, very good waitress, kept water glasses full, made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended....
