    This was our first visit to Janko’s, being new to the area. We were looking for a good steakhouse to celebrate our anniversary. Janko’s hit the mark in food & service. Although atmosphere was more in line with a crowded sports bar it would not deter us from going again. Highly recommend reservations as it is obviously a VERY popular restaurant.

    The tables are small for four people is the only issue with the experience. Playing to make room to eat. The food and price were great.

    Farm Bloomington has intriguing decor, great servers, and somewhat variable food. A chicken entree I'd had and very much liked before was a little overcooked this time, and my husband's filet mignon wasn't really well done as he requested (and as the toothpick-label declared). (It was, however, tasty for someone who prefers medium.) The amuse-bouche was very nice, and the chocolale mousse was superb. As the place filled up, it got noisy enough that we had some trouble hearing each other.

    We had a nice experience with this Bloomington eatery. Even though we were early for our reservation, we were still seated immediately. Our waiter was friendly, enthusiastic, and quick. Unfortunately for Upland Brewing, we are not drinkers and so we cannot comment on any of the alcohol beverages. I was pleased that they did have caffeine-free root beer. Our tenderloins were tightly breaded, quite sufficient in size, and the chips and fries were tasty. We heartly recommend Upland Brewing Co. in Bloomington for a casual dining experience.
