Best Restaurants for Groups in Bloomington / Normal

There were a few things that didn’t go well for the price tag. 1) We were 3 people dining. 2 of us received their main course and we had to wait more than 5 min for the 3rd person to receive their main course . Unacceptable. 2) When I ordered coffee along with the desert order- we received our coffees while before our desert arrived while my lemonchello arrived while after our desert. No consistency 3) My experience with truffle season.. Usually the places that offer truffles - they offer a special dish.. truffle pasta or truffle rissotto.. here it was- add to one of the dishes..so, I picked the most delicate/simple- pasta limone which is also not perfect as the flavor loses to catch the taste of the truffle - especially if you charge $59 fur the truffle shaving (black.. not white truffle )..

This was our first time at Baxter’s and we were nicely surprised by the service and the food. We will definitely recommend Baxters to our friends and family and put it on our calendar to go back. Thank you for a great evening. 

Shorts ribs, sweet potato puree and brussel sprouts was sooooooo good. The leftovers were good the next day too! Ample portions and relaxed dining. Highly recommend.

The food was excellent, and the service was even better! We came in later in the evening, so everything was a little quieter but still amazing. We will definitely be back again, especially for the Lavender Lemonade and the spicy cheese curds.

Last dinner before leaving the boy at ISU - waitress was great good, food excellent and very clean !
