Champaign is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Champaign follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

We popped in to avoid the rain on a recent road trip. We had salads and the tomato bisque soup. Very nice sensible portions. The popcorn was superior (see picture).

Big restaurant, we had a group of 16 after graduation, they seated us back to back at 2 tables. Worked out ok but not ideal. Appetizers were good, Bavarian pretzel was good but a bit on the small side. Brussel sprouts were good. Hamburger for dinner was ok, bread not super fresh, fries were good, chicken was good, overall everyone was pretty happy but not "wowed". Service was very good, even though it was mid afternoon, they were not packed at all. Good craft beer. 👍🏻

First time here and really enjoyed it! We had the tomato soup and pretzel braid to start. The soup was excellent. For my meal I had the salmon and gnocchi. It was scrumptious! The homemade gnocchi really made the dish.

Stopped in for a quick meal, and was pleasantly surprised. Our waiter was great, as was the food and drinks. I’d stop again if I’m in the area!

Well - I had high hopes. But it’s just not good. Food wasn’t good. Service was slow and mixed up orders and requests. We had a group of 5 and we were told we couldn’t put tables together to sit inside unless we wanted a booth - even though inside was pretty much empty. We were 5 individuals there for a work dinner and a both just didn’t make sense…. Outside was fine and ultimately better - but why not let us sit inside? Corn appetizer was probably the best item. Sprouts were ok but very oily. Cheese curds were lot squeaky and tasted like small mozzarella sticks (not a bad thing). Surf and turf tacos were extremely fishy with no sign of any turf. Winter arugula looked like they picked it up off the floor from last week. Won’t be going back.
