    Food was excellent as was service. A little on the expensive side, but some of the best food in the area for sure.

    I have to say coming from the Atlantic coast this place served some of the best seafood I've ever had. Everything we ordered was fresh, plentiful, cook perfectly which was a surprise since we are in the middle of America. The prices were a little high but for the quality we had no complaints. The only issue we had was when we ordered we also ordered a take out for someone who couldn't come just to make sure it was ready when we were ready to leave. Unfortunately, the waitress dropped the ball on that and we sat for about 15 minutes waiting on her to get the order to us.

    Jonah's Seafood House in Peoria is a wonderful riverside seafood restaurant. The Oyster Bar, and Market & Bake Shop next door, are interesting places as well, but this is the crown jewel. The service was second to none, from the hostess/manager Angie, to my delightful waitress Macy. The view of the Illinois River augmented a warm but comfortably rustic setting. I started with an Espresso Martini — 360 Vanilla, Kahlua, Tia, Espresso & Cream with three delicious coffee beans on top. The cocktail was remarkably flavorful and I am a coffee martini enthusiast.🍸 For an appetizer I indulged myself and ordered a staple of any high-end seafood restaurant; Oysters Rockefeller baked in the half-shell. This traditional mainstay was absolutely perfectly cooked with the added twist of bacon. (Everything is better with bacon). The main attraction outdid it all: South African Lobster Tail with a half pound of Alaskan King Crab Legs. I’ll let the pictures speak for this dish—I LOVED IT! For dessert I had another libation🤭 — a Milk Chocolate Martini 🍸 360 Vanilla, Dark Crème De Cacao, and Cream.

    Food was great as always. Despite having a reservation we were stuck at a table in the bar. Excuse given was that they had a larger party that had taken all available dining room tables. I pointed out the larger party could have been put in the bar. Got deer in the headlights stare back. Enjoyed dinner but was highly annoyed.

    Our server was great. She was very attentive but not overly. The food was delicious, as usual, and the wine and cocktails were excellent. Loved the table by the windows that looked out over the river and city skyline. We had a most memorable experience, and will be back again soon.
