Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Peoria – 2024

Was my first time coming wasn’t bad best thing was probably service I say . Our Server Blake was very friendly accommodating ,and helpful I say best part of visit . Food was good calamari was the best just wish they gave option to serve with a white sauce as well . Pizza delicious and caeser salad ok . Had a glass of house Chianti was delicious. With being family style wish they served complimentary bread . Would go back with more family for sure didn’t care for a date night with just hubby .

The Italian atmosphere that was presented felt original and creative. Our waiter Laura was very kind and was great. Food was tasty and definitely coming back!

Was there with my family for a graduation dinner . Katie was our waitress and she was amazing at explaining the menu to us and just overall friendly and attentive. Food was out pretty fast even though we were a big party and it was good. Large portions good to share with everyone at the table. This will be our place to come for another celebration. Thank you to all the staff , waiters and waitresses, cooks!! This restaurant is 100000% RECOMMEND!

When we arrived we were greeted immediately (loved that), also wasn't expecting to have to place your order at the register. This was my first time in, however the waitress/cashier offered a paper copy of the menu if we wanted to sit and look it over. We asked what was good and she made several suggestions. The food was amazing and it was such a great day we were able to sit out on the patio and enjoy our meal. The food was brought out promptly and they made sure to check to see if we needed anything. I loved it here and will surely go back .

This wild flower location was just as fabulous as the first location I tried. Amazing food and the service was top notch. The chipotle chicken sandwich was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had! Also loved the potato cream cheese soup. Can’t wait to visit again!

Super fresh and tasty American fare for affordable prices. Loved the Caesar salad, meatballs and pesto chicken pasta. Employees were really chipper and helpful.

Fantastic breakfast. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. You can eat indoor or outside. We ordered the brunch charcuterie board to share between 2 people, but it could easily feed 3. The board is a fun way to sample a lot of different items. We also ordered the biscuits and gravy, which included a twist on a traditional dish and had a little spice to it. They were not overcrowded, but did seem slightly understaffed due the hostess not being around for a while when we first arrived. I'd suggest having other staff make sure to acknowledge the waiting patrons in that situation so customers don't leave. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The cost for three for our meals and two coffees + tip was just shy of $60. We will definitely go back again.

What an awesome place ... directly behind Hash Kitchen at P83!!! Went there around 30pm on a Tuesday only to discover shareable plates are part of the 2-5pm happy hour! We ordered the NY strip sliders and bruschetta -> yummy !!! Server not the friendliest. Will definitely be trying their brunch. They do have outdoor seating as an option as the main dining area is relatively small - music a little loud. Overall, would recommend!

Phenomenal experience. There was 8 of us for brunch and the food and drinks were fantastic. Zane provided exceptional service and took great care of us. We highly recommend the loaded hash, bruschetta, and Smokey Joe drink!

One of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. The food was amazing. We received outstanding service from Brenton. I really like the ambiance of this restaurant. Vibe is elegant and relaxing with sophisticated decor. We ordered the Grande Plate and shared it. I highly recommend this dish- plenty of food for two. At one point , the smoke alarm was triggered by some fajitas. The manager went from table to table apologizing/ explaining. What amazing customer service. The Happy Hour was fabulous. We will definitely be returning

I was prepared to be disappointed since so many MX restaurants, esp. chains, serve such bland food in a bland setting, but I was pleasantly surprised! From the courtyard-like feel of a high ceilinged dining room surrounded with colorful murals, sculptures, and paintings, to the cozy side bar area, I was smitten. The warm tortilla chips with an assortment of sauces allowed us time to explore the extensive menu, but once we saw another table had a tortilla bowl that looked fabulous, we had to get that. Excellent choice too since the beans had flavor that was not like that out of a can, the tomatoes, lettuce, guac, were all fresh and whatever that creamy chile con queso sauce was is an excellent accent, and the choice of beef or chicken filling (we had one of each and both were tasty), and I can't believe I ate the whole fresh and crispy tortilla bowl--usually these can taste old-oily, but obviously this one was perfect. The server was attentive but never intrusive, always there to answer a question or refill the drinks. When I mentioned we were there for my birthday, he brought out a surprise velvety flan. The only sad note was my friend mourned the loss of the fountain they used to have and I agree that would have truly added a refreshing sound and oasis like atmosphere which is much needed in this AZ climate esp. with all the record breaking heat. If it were my business, I'd bring it back in a heartbeat with much fanfare and celebratory publicity so people would be even more encouraged to visit and be refreshed and restored!

Loved this restaurant in Dallas, this location not so much. Chips were good, salsa trio was good. Green Chili Quesadilla was weird, fried tortilla sections with queso on top, they were cold and not good. Bacon Wrapped Shrimp were good but sloppily presented. The main course was a steak Quesadilla that was really weird, cheese on top of soft flour tortilla, steak was mshy. Veer disappointed.

Brunch with Mrs. V. I placed this eatery on my foodie radar a few months ago. Had to check it out today. We were greeted and seated immediately by their friendly staff. Our server Brandy was extremely friendly and engaging. This farm to table restaurant offers extraordinarily delicious food from their scratch made kitchen. Brandy’s menu recommendations were spot on. This rustic spot located near Lake Pleasant gives me the impression that this place is a fave for locals and regs. Established in 1984 this restaurant feels as though it is deeply rooted in Americana. We loved the friendly chill vibe. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!! Mark Voykin

This was a neat wood building with lots of old west feel to it. Lots of taxidermy animals adorned the walls. The food was good but the staff came up short. There seemed to be 9 or so employees but only 1 waitress for the whole restaurant. One member of my party didn't get their food until we managed to flag down the waitress after half our party already finished. Our drinks weren't refilled either. Hopefully it was just an off day because all our food was good.

I originally gave this place a low rating due to the no dog policy. Many of you know I rescue Shepherds and taking them to patios really helps socialize them so that they can be successfully adopted. But, this is not my restaurant so I decided to leave a truthful review and try to ignore the sign about no dogs. One of my main reasons for reposting my review is the sign out front that says, Police and Fire Fighters eat for free. Wow is all I can say. I wish more places did this for the men and women who put their lives in the line for us every day. That sign made me want to give it another chance and I'm glad we did. We have now been two more times and will definitely be going back again Their brunch options are insane. The corned beef hash is outstanding, the potatoes pancakes incredible, and the waffle breakfast sandwich is on a whole other level!! I apologize for leaving my first review out of anger but will always admit when I am wrong and this places food and sense of community have definitely changed my mind. Well done.

The ambiance is good, the food was great, and the service was outstanding!!! Firebirds was recommended and did not disappoint. We came from the east side and had an AMAZING dinner. The fresh bread was so good. We will definitely be back for more!

We had a great experience! The server was wonderful. The manager checked on our table. Shortly after he checked on us, he came back and brought us some shrimp. He stated he didn't like the way the shrimp looked on my salad. I hadn't even asked to have it replaced! We will be back!

Great experience visiting Firebirds. I make a reservation in advance as it gets busy on the weekend. Our overall experience was great. The food was delicious and the dessert I definitely recommend it. For wine lovers, I recommend the Firebirds house Chardonnay.

Food - fantastic and approachable without adventuring into the unknown too fast. Atmosphere - Fun, Relaxed, and Intimate. Service was a perfect balance of attentive & spacious. Jason is also phenomenal consistently checking in and making sure things are up to snuff. Make sure to check out the bakery too!

Food was amazing. Pasta was fresh. Drinks were good! The ice had the restaurants logo, super cool. Jason the Manager came out and talked and checked in, he was very friendly and personable. We got the 5ft dessert board. So worth it. The server was not very attentive, that was the only downside, waited a long time for drinks and didn't check in hardly at all. Overall we would definitely come again for the food and the manager Jason.

Great atmosphere and a family vibe. Stopped in with some co workers. Was greeted instantly and seated. All fresh pasta made daily. Fresh ingredients. If you’re an Italian food lover this is a spot you should check out. There is outside seating g if you want to bare the heat! Great experience. Definitely recommend!

Great food and atmosphere. Help even more id you enjoy your company.

We are new to this restaurant and we absolutely loved it! We had pizza, wing and extremely cold beers. All the food was excellent...and more than enough to eat for leftovers the next day. Our wait staff was incredible! Big John was outstanding...we felt like we had been going there for years. Q-Tip, manager, came to our table with certificates and a cup, after he found out it was our 1st time there. This restaurant and staff are a first class act and we will definitely be going back often! FYI: they have inside and outside seating with tvs everywhere. A great place to watch the games but there was a variety of sports shows on all their tvs. Great place!

First time here and it was AMAZING! Food was so so delicious and the prices were very affordable as well. The costumer service was also amazing! It’s hard to find people that actually like their jobs these days but these servers were amazing even during a very busy time ,Definitely will be coming back.

Nice place! We went for breakfast and ordered breakfast burritos. They tasted great and a large portion.Just wish I would have found this place on my first day of vacation instead of my last.

Great atmosphere a bit darkened inside which is nice for az when it's hot out. Our servers name was Josh he was great and very responsive. Food was excellent. Huge portions, 2 adults can definitely share.

Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes witg a side of Mac and cheese. 3 stars for the food only because you eat with your eyes first and everything on my plate was basically the same color. The mashed potatoes where covered with the same gravy as the chicken fried steak. 3 stars for service because I had asked for the gravy on the side but it still came out like this. I'd go back and try some other menu items I saw other diners order at the table next to me. The chicken and waffles looked like a must .

Visited for the first time and it was for our anniversary. The waiter was very insightful and attentive. Decided on Crab cakes for appetizer, Oscar style Ribeye with Flambe option, brussel sprouts, and cake for dessert. The food was delicious, but doesn't stand out to where I would crave to return on a non-special day. The drink selection is massive if that's your preference and the ambience of the restaurant is modern yet cozy. I enjoyed our time and the waiter was wonderful in making our stay comfortable.

If you are looking for a good upscale restaurant on the west side of town this is it. Provides more of that classy Scottsdale feel once inside. They are very strict on dress code as well (no backwards hat but can wear it forward, interesting to say the least) Servers are very knowledgeable and try to do a very good job, you can tell the staff want to please. One of the few negatives is the price as it is extremely expensive. The food is good but price wise is a little bit high for where you are location wise. Tremendous drink and cocktail selection. If you are a bourbon drinker this is your spot. Dessert, for this type of establishment leaves a lot left to be desired. The Bourbon cake is their specialty but after multiple times it’s about average for a dessert dish as well as their other options.

"Had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It’s rare to find a place that combines such high-quality food with exceptional customer service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!"

We came here for lunch on a road trip for a nice meal. Lots of local beers and ciders, I had a cider that was refreshing in the summer heat. The fried cauliflower app was unexpectedly small bits of cauliflower and other vegetables but tasted good. My partner got the grilled Mac n Cheese and I got the chicken pot pie, both meals were hearty with large portions. Highly recommend stopping by if you have a moment to sit down!

I very much enjoyed both the food and staff at this place. The customer service was wonderful, I could tell that people genuinely enjoyed interacting with their guests. It is a really large indoor space with a big bar and lots of whiskey on offer. The food was good and I particularly enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich that is offered for brunch. I will certainly be back in the future.

First I had the Meatloaf Parfait it was delicious!! The meatloaf was perfect very flavorful. The BBQ sauce was mid. The mashed Potatoes were cooked perfect. 8/10. 2nd the Fried Chicken sandwich. It was amazing!! The best chicken sandwich I've had so far. 10/10. Last but not least the Bison Burger. It was ok nothing special. It was flavorless and I couldn't taste the Blueberry Ketchup. 6/10. Fries were good jus over seasoned. The Tots were perfect. Shout out to my sever Danielle she was great. Food Game 8.5/10. Price Game 7/10. Portion Game 10/10. Overall Tyme Kitchen 8.5/10 I will Come back again.

Easy to find, we called ahead to Blue Duck and then drove there and got in a few minutes early even. Hostess was friendly. Like a lot of noteworthy 'que joints, it's smaller to control flow and operating costs, but it's worth the wait! We got seated at a clean table with clean utensils. Our party of 3 ordered and had food on our table in 10 minutes. Good flavor and the sides were well portioned. I got the 1/2 chicken and it was perfectly cooked. We left full but not stuffed. We'll definitely be back.

The food was delicious. I got the chicken plate with baked beans and mac n cheese. The chicken was very tender and juicy, but it still had a mild crunch to the skin. The baked beans- flavor was on point, they were just runnier than what I'm used to. The mac and cheese was creamy and seasoned with a very mild hint of heat which was great as I'm not a big spice person. The plates come with two sides and a corn muffin, and I was very surprised to see that the muffin contained whole roasted kernels on the inside! I'd definitely visit again.

Delicious food and cocktails!! Highly recommend the brisket dinner plate and the Vermont Maple cocktail! Wicked fast service and great food. Waitress was kind and had a pleasurable attitude. Highly recommend! Pulled pork sandwich and key lime pie were also out of this world!

Service was great, atmosphere was fun and clean, and food was about a 4/5. The steak was raw in the middle but they did right and took it off our bill. The appetizers were delicious and so was the salmon.

We had a great experience at Suite Fire! This place is tucked away in the Holiday Inn, but I’m so glad we tried it. The food was cooked to perfection, the cocktails were great. Everything was delicious. Things were very reasonably priced. You also get two sides (and Texas toast) with an entree! Thank you Chef Seth and Connor for taking care of us!

This was a good dinner for a reasonable price. We had the lobster tail special and risotto which was quite tasty. My husband had the ribeye which he said was delicious. We also had the salted caramel dessert. The bourbon sweet potatoes were really great. The only disappointment were the asparagus. Mushy and difficult to chew. Otherwise a great change of somewhere to eat. It was a solidly good meal.

Nice wood fired pizzeria with a little bit of something for everyone. It is housed in a redeveloped warehouse and has a nice rustic ambiance to it. A hybrid between QSR and table service - you order at the counter, they bring your food to the table, hand you cups for any sodas (BTW - free refills). Staff is very helpful and willing to accommodate as best as possible - full points to them. We ordered a couple of pizzas, sides etc. Pizza was thin crust and cooked well, had the slight wood fired charring on it which was great! Fresh ingredients and all...made it a great place to go. They have a good selection of desserts too if you have a sweet tooth. Parking for about 6-7 cars is available behind the establishment as well as street parking. I'd recommend giving this place a try.

First time here while in town for a weekend of soccer. BBQ chicken pizza was great, and the craft beer selection was a welcome surprise. Had a strawberry wit and wished I'd had time for another. Can't comment on the atmosphere since we ate on the patio, but the pizzas were super quick and exactly what I hoped for from wood-fired oven.

Sugar’s pizzas are pretty good. I got the Soppressata Pizza, and sampled a friend’s BBQ Pork Mac and Cheese.

This was my second visit, consistently great both times. Very busy night, full house but we were able to have a seat at the bar. Service was great, everything was delicious--we recommend the bread pudding! Already looking forward to coming back.

Wow! This had high ratings and I expected it to be pretty good, but they went well beyond my expectations!!! All the food was perfectly seasoned and super juicy (the meat) and the service was excellent Awesome mocktails helped make the meal even more enjoyable, but the bread pudding for dessert won my heart over!!

Went for dinner with a friend and had a great experience. It wasn't too busy, so we were seated quickly. Our waitress was really friendly and checked back on us frequently. It has a cool open air concept sort of deal, so you can see the chefs cooking the food. My friend had the 4 cheese grilled sandwich, and I had the jerk chicken. Both were great, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice to check this place out.

One World is absolutely phenomenal! Where to begin with the accolades....the food is outstanding, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff from front of house to back of house are amazing! They offer a gluten free menu and if dairy is an issue, they will make substitutions AND they do use non-dairy vegan cheese. The regular menu is bursting with flavor and the portion sizes on both menus are large. The staff (servers and kitchen) are extremely diligent when it comes to dietary restrictions and cross contamination. This is one of the best restaurants in Peoria and I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend them!

This is my favorite place to eat when I visit Peoria. The wait staff is always friendly. It's clean. The food is amazing. The BBQ pulled pork pizza is the best pizza I've ever tasted. Love their hummus and their coffee. Nothing but good vibes.

I had the falafel salad which was huge and delicious, was a little dry so I had to ask for more dressing. My partner had the fish tacos, was pretty disappointed at how little the portion was, he said it was delicious but he left not satisfied so that’s why I gave 4 stars. Nice staff and beautiful surroundings here, absolutely loved the aesthetic. There’s also secret vegan options like vegan cheese so check out online the secret menu

Charming! A brewery in an old church, unique! The woodwork, stained glass, marble, and exposed beams are beautiful. The scotch eggs and fish special were delicious. We tried 2 flights of their beer and weren't disappointed, something for everyone. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is a bar outside, and a courtyard outfitted with games. Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite, and 1 small town at a time! Explore everything!

Best use of a church ever. Amazing beer. Amazing food. I went with the Jaggerschnitzel. I constantly do long-range motorcycle trips. Stop at a lot of breweries. The only brewery I would change my route by hours to hit was in Havre Mt. Now there's a second one. It's in Peoria.

I'm Going to #Church... But First, Beer! This Saturday, I found the most heavenly spot—Obed and Isaac's. Let’s just say I’m answering a different kind of calling: one that involves a cold pint and some holy delicious eats. Now, I’m no preacher, but after one visit, I’m ready to spread the good word: their beer selection is divine, and the atmosphere? Pure sanctuary. Whether you're here for brunch or just paying your respects to great local brews, you'll leave feeling #blessed. So, if you see me "in church" this weekend, don’t be surprised—I'll be seated at Obed and Isaac's, raising a glass and praying the nachos never run out. #BeerIsMyReligion #SundayService #tridence #ObedAndIsaacs #WorshipWithWings

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Peoria, specifically for celebrations. I love fish/seafood. Preparations of the fish dishes are sooo delicious, quality of the fishes I found really good. So far we have tried Chilean Sea Bass blackened (melting in mouth), Tunisian King Salmon stuffed (so tasty) and their signature Oyster Rockefeller (must try). The ambience, service and everything was perfect, worth the price. Would definitely recommend.

My first time to the fish house it was excellent food. If you’re ever wondering if you should go to the Fishhouse, you should go yes, seafood is expensive but it sure was good. We ordered every kind of oyster. They had raw Rockefeller and grilled they were all excellent. We also had the stuffed salmon which was awesome.

My husband took me here for our anniversary and its my first time in this place! It was such a great experience I love seafoods! I recommend this place if you’re looking for a seafood restaurant. We love the food taste great!

Lauren & Taylor took very good care of us. Our meals were outstanding. We will be back soon!!!! Taylor again took such good care of us. A real sweetheart. Food & drinks excellent as always. Honorable mention: Tony was our server too. Did a fine job.

Incredible dining experience. The atmosphere is very unique and beautiful. The steak was amazing and my birthday dessert was great. Slightly more expensive but worth it

I love this place. I live in the city of Chicago and I think this is such a gem, I like it more than many of the city restaurants I frequent! I adore the warm Mushroom salad, wild boar was great and the veal with morels was done so well. I have to say their eggplant dip they have with the bread is to die for. They end each meal with a rose for their guests - I love their attention to detail here. I’ll be back again, and again, and again!

A Peoria stalwart tradition. You will not find a better steak, period, full stop! The facilities are spacious, comfortable and well lit. During the season, outdoor seating is to be enjoyed and the views of the marina and The Illinois River provide a picturesque backdrop. Reservations are always a good plan. The hammered copper-top bar adds a cherry warmth while you imbibe in a very well appointed bar and a deep selection of offerings. The bar staff are one of the best in the region and will take great care of you at the bar seating. The scent of the coal fired grills fills the air, promising a steak prepared perfectly by the grill attendants, or if you choose, you can grill your own. I prefer the professionals take the task on with a perfect Pittsburgh-style sear on a well marbled ribeye. The steaks are all on display in refrigerated cabinets for you to choose the exact steak you want, if you so desire. The cuts offered are generous and properly done. All cuts are usually available, except on extra busy nights which may sell-out on certain cuts. Absolute steal heaven at Alexander's Steakhouse. The wait staff is well trained, attentive, competent and friendly. The menu offers a huge variety of items and will not disappoint those who do not prefer steak. Alexander's salad bar is famous throughout the region and is hard to beat whatever city you are in. Going to dinner at Alexander's Steakhouse is an excursion to look forward to and enjoy great food with great friends and associates! Well done to the ownership and staff at Alexander's Steakhouse for taking the time and displaying the pride to do what you do. KUDOS!!!!!

Start your journey as you walk into an old paper mill factory and immerse yourself into a new experience. We decided to have lunch and made this our destination. The interior is well done yet preserves some of the past. Take a walk around and explore and. Heck out the framed art and articles. We chose a water view table and ordered drinks. Waitress was great, ordered our food and decided to let them cook it so we could just talk while waiting. Food delivered and it looked great. Steaks were cooked as requested. Lunch was delicious, definitely a return trip is in our furture.

The salad bar is the best part! Pretty standard steaks, maybe a little overpriced, with the option to cook them yourself (not for me lol.) I really love the homemade ranch and sweet potato fries!! About $86 for two 5 oz filets, fries, & the salad bar (with water.) Alexander’s is a homey steakhouse. While the seats with a view of the lake are very nice, some spots feel a little more crowded & lackluster in theme. It’s definitely a locals-loved spot & is crowded by 6 even on a Wednesday, so get there early or make reservations!
