Restaurants near Martino State Fish and Wildlife Area

We 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.

This 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!

Our experience was again, awesome! The views from the 6th floor are amazing, our waiter was helpful and attentive, our service was great, noise level was very low, and very romantic for our date night!

Food was fine, but price was a little high for what it was

I am a platinum rewards member, so it was “all you can eat shrimp” weekend. The food was really delicious. I only ate once, but my husband ate plenty. The service was great, the drinks were good, and the food was seasoned well. We will be back soon.
