Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Peoria

We highly recommend the filet mignon! Medium rare, juicy and tender. In my opinion, it was as good as any in an upscale steakhouse, at half the price. The high wall booths are very comfortable and excellent for conversation and overall quiet, which provides a calmer environment. This Black Angus is a gem in our area!

Man. Great restaurant experience. Our server was Dawn(hope I spelled that right). It was clear from the very beginning that she was experienced and was going to take great care of us. That’s exactly what happened. I honestly didn’t have the highest expectations before coming to this spot. But if their servers are even half as good as dawn was then it’s worth it every time. Bill was 195 and I was only able to tip 25 because that’s all I had lol but I absolutely would’ve doubled that if I could’ve. Will be back for sure

Bottega Restaurant: A Consistent Favorite We've visited Bottega Restaurant multiple times, and it remains one of our go-to spots for Italian cuisine. We've never been disappointed, and last night's visit was no exception. The Chicken Pizzaiola was cooked to perfection, with tender chicken and a deliciously rich sauce that paired beautifully with every bite. My fiancée opted for the "Salsiccia," which was equally tasty, packed with flavors that kept us both savoring each forkful. The atmosphere at Bottega is always casual and welcoming, making it perfect for a laid-back dinner. The service was exceptional as usual—attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed for a great dining experience. Bottega continues to impress, and we’re looking forward to our next visit!
