Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Bloomington

Excellent Christmas lunch. The service was great!

St.Elmo’s is the quintessential steak house experience! The food never disappoints, the service is impeccable, the atmosphere and ambience is first class! What a treat to dine in this iconic location! Loved everything about it!

As usual great food and great service. Busy but was seated before our reservation time.

Each year our son picks the restaurant for his birthday dinner and this year it was Commission Row. Typically, Tony’s is his favorite however Commission Row’s atmosphere, food and service exceeded expectations. Joachim, our server, started the night with impeccable service, personable, informative and attentive. With seven in our party, a majority of the menu items were selected and enjoyed. All the selections were plentiful and flavorful. Highlights included the wedge salad (one of the best we’ve eaten), filets cooked perfectly, crab cakes loaded with crab, creamy lobster bisque, tender scallops and crispy salmon with a tender inside. Side dishes were served family style with enough left to take home. Dessert highlights included 10-layer chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and gelato trio. We will definitely return and request Joachim for each of our visits. Thank you, Joachim for making our dining experience special.

Fabulous downtown Christmas experience at Harry and Izzy’s! The French onion soup was out of this world. ( We brought our own scissors…) The prime rib sandwich was very tasty, but I could have done without the onions on the buns. Now. The service. H& I always has incredible service but on this evening, Sean (our server) went above and beyond!! Always attentive to our needs and my Coke glass was never allowed to be empty. Can’t wait to visit again in the near future.
