The food was excellent. Our table had steak, shrimp and salmon. All perfect. Service was great, friendly and on top of everything. 3 of our group had never been and loved it.

Very consistently good place to have pasta, wine, and convivial times. Not really any place quite like it in Bloomington. Great location, always parking within walking distance, can be tough to get reservations on busy weekends. Plan ahead.

At Lennie's, you'll likely find IU professors enjoying pints after class, groups catching a bite after an IU Auditorium performance, or couples enjoying a first date.

About the restaurant

Our headquarters in beautiful Bloomington, Indiana is not just a restaurant & bar. It’s a throwback to pubs of old, where friends & neighbors gather to share old stories & create new ones. We’ve been brewing local beer here since 1998. And just like our beer, we’ve continued to innovate & reimagine over the years.

Pair your pint with a carefully crafted menu featuring locally sourced ingredients & plenty of creative options for vegetarians. Spring through Fall, cozy up on our patio where both human & dog children are welcome.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Truffles. We live 60+ miles from Bloomington. We alway choose another wonderful Bloomington restaurant for special occasions but decided to give Truffles a try for a change. This was our first visit and really enjoyed our dinner. We started with the warm pine nut crusted goat cheese with toasted ciabatta bread. We both decided on the 5 oz. filet (which is a part of the 56 Degree bar plate menus). Our filet was delicious! Our dinner came with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli, both were delicious! The only disappoints of the evening were 1) I noted on our Open Table reservation that we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. That was not acknowledged at all and 2) we asked for additional ciabatta bread to finish our goat cheese appetizer and were charged $2 for the additional 2-3 slices to finish our already $15 appetizer. Those were the only disappointments for the evening. I would definitely recommend Truffles for any special occasion or romantic dinner!
