"I absolutely love this place! The service and the food are amazing. This time, we tried a mix of dishes. My wife had the chicken and waffles, which were delicious with the syrup and butter. My mother-in-law tried the gluten-free cornmeal pancakes and said they were a flavor explosion. We had a reservation and had to wait a bit, but the restaurant surprised us with a cinnamon roll, which was next level! Don't miss out on Fort Jesse Cafe if you're in Bloomington-Normal. Another great experience today with great food and service. In my opinion, this is the best breakfast spot in the area. Whether you're in a rush or wanting to relax, they always have fantastic food options. I highly recommend the Southwest Tofu Scramble for vegetarians/vegans - it's out of this world good!"

"While the ravens are beautifully sorted and beautifully presented, for those who have eaten in many Ramon restaurants, the raven here is in my opinion a 2.5 out of 5 stars. The pig was too chewing and fat, it seemed as if the meat cooked or cooked quickly, so the pig never became tender and soft, and the fats were solid and had a icky texture. As far as broth is concerned, it was closer to a vegetable soup than a pig broth. The mushrooms and daikon radiate the aromas of the other ingredients so ramen tasted mainly like mushrooms and daikon. Overall, unless you are a fanatic vegetable lover, you should not order the ruts. Rather, I recommend the pizzas because they taste pretty good. The service here is the reason why I give him a 4, the servers and bartenders tend to be a good one to your meal experience. They provide additional information about the local area and are known in the food they like in the restaurant."

"I ordered the skillet queso, salsa and chips, to go. When I got home and went to heat up my queso. The containerwasn't even half full. For $11.00, I think I got ripped off. I order this often. And have never had this happen before. But I will check my order next time before I leave."

"I really love to see this restaurant succeed with their lunch buffet and hope they can improve their buffet, mainly because they are clean (unlike Aroma Indian Restaurant food that always makes me sick), but their buffet has several issues. First the goods: clean, nice people, they have cucumber and they have goat on weekends buffet, and their Raita is based on good house made yogurt which is sour and good, not like store yogurt that is too smooth and sweet. Now the bads or what is lacking in the buffet: The buffet does not have any creativity, specifically there is no real vegetable in the buffet. And No, just because a dish does not have meat does not mean that dish is vegetarian! for example bread, white rice, or potato or corn or the so called vegetarian biryani that has nothing but rice and potato and corn or tofu are all plant based but they are not real vegetables, they are just pure starchy carbohydrates. Real vegetarian dishes which are absent here would be dishes made from for example eggplant, super healthy bitter gourd, zucchini, cauliflower, Gongura, cabbage, methi, squash, etc. And No, a pakora which is basically a tiny piece of some veggie coated in a thick starchy coating and then deep fried is not exactly a healthy vegetarian option either. The only thing that is vegetarian in their buffer is the Saag paneer which is made of spinach but spinach is really bad for people like me with kidney stone. So not being a fan of chicken or plain starch (rice or potato or bread) or spinach, and not seeing any real vegetarian dishes, I basically end up with only one thing (the goat on weekends) that I can have from their buffet. And sadly their goat also is too salty and not tasting that good. I also think a good Indian buffet should include chai masala and papad (the crunchy thin bread made from lentil flour) for people who try to avoid wheat based bread. Or even better lamb byrani would be a nice option. Bottom line I hope they decide to add some real vegetarian dishes and lamb because I like this restaurant and really want to support them but right now I just can't visit them too often."
