    The filet was AMAZING and our food came extremely quick. The service was 10/10 - there was a rude customer who was being rude to us and the staff stood up for us immediately. It was a great experience and I will certainly be back!

    Consistently a great experience. Also good value for the high quality steaks. They also have very good wine list at good prices. I am a long term customer and will remain so.

    What a fun place! The Croatian meatballs were great: spicy, soft and full of great flavor. Steak was rare as ordered and came with some super grilled asparagus. Nice char from the grill. Our server, Sophie, was amazing. We had a big party and she was attentive, friendly and really helpful. Everyone was sweet and helpful.

    We were seated right away as we had reservations. Our server was very nice and overall the food was good but I felt that it was overpriced. The restaurant was very warm and loud. It was Saturday night so I expected the “loud”. I do feel as though we were rushed . We were with friends and we were catching up. We ordered drinks and appetizers but the server was back at our table about every 5 minutes. I believe it’s the managers pushing this and not the server. They want to turn tables, which I understand BUT this is a high priced restaurant and we shouldn’t be made to feel like we have hurry up with every course. We’re talking we were there 1.5 hours…2 at the most. Side note…We ALWAYS tip very well & did as well that evening.

    Our food was good but for the price point, it was disappointing. One of our steaks was overcooked. My cut was fairly tough. The ambiance of the restaurant itself is not high-end. It’s dark, very crowded, and incredibly noisy. Our service was great, but overall, paying $135 before tip for two meals and two drinks was nowhere near worth the experience we had.

    As always the food and wai staff were outstanding. Only complaint this time was the level of noise-seated next to very loud rehearsal dinner group which was not really the problem as I understand their enthusiasm but it was the one young man who keep having to yell the F word repeatedly.

    A very pleasant and dependable experience every time we visit. We dined early last evening and therefore the restaurant was quieter than usual. The food is very good and provides outstanding value. The wine list is excellent as well. This is our favorite restaurant in Bloomington.

    It's been a few years since I've been in Bloomington, and we made a return to Janko's a MUST. And it absolutely did not disappoint. Steaks were as great I remembered. I tried someone's chicken, and that was terrific, too! Wine list very thorough & inexpensive. (even back when they used the juice glasses, they had great wine!) Holy cow, were the meatballs awesome. Love the heat. They need to market that sauce. Service was quick & friendly. Little Zagreb is truly an old-school gem! Can't wait to come visit again soon.
