- KKelseyChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a wonderful waitress and experience at Jonah’s on Saturday night. My husband order shrimp with his filet and the kitchen plated fried shrimp instead of grilled. My husband didn’t mind, but the waitress noticed and was quick to make it right. The grilled shrimp that he ordered were going to be a 15 minute wait, so she gave us a free dessert instead. The food was amazing, and the service was top notch.More infoJonah's Seafood HousePrice: Moderate• Seafood• Peoria/East Peoria•4.7
- MMiltonChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoMy wife and I celebrated Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2025. We both ordered the surf and turf (steak and lobster) from the special valentine menu which included baked potatoes and asparagus, as well as a salad. Both steak and lobster were a good size and were very succulent. As an appetizer we had baked goat cheese with garlic crostinis. It was also very delicious. The ambience was fitting for the occasion and the service was good. Overall we had a great dining experience.More infoBaxters American GrillePrice: Expensive• American• Bloomington / Normal•4.5
- RRonaldChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe food, drinks and service were top notch. The decor seems a little dated but is in very good condition. Restaurant was clean and well kept. Our server was great. She was very friendly but didn’t over do it. This is our favorite place for steaks in all of Central Illinois.More infoWilliam B'sPrice: Expensive• Steak• Peoria/East Peoria•4.5
- LLeahChicago / Illinois •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was our first time at the Midway Duck Inn and it definitely won’t be our last. We weren’t sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The vibe is great, nothing overly pretentious, but a nice, laid back, woodsy vibe. The service was excellent. I read about the duck wontons in other reviews and decided to give them a try. SO good! Since we were here for Valentine’s Day, we opted for the filet and lobster and the filet and shrimp. We weren’t sure what to expect getting lobster from a place in the middle of nowhere in central IL but it was fantastic! The steaks were cooked perfectly and the augratins were delicious. The old fashioneds were great. There are very few restaurants/bars around here that make a good old fashioned. This will definitely be one of our new date night spots!More infoMidway Duck InnPrice: Moderate• American• Peoria City•4.8
