    Emily, our server, was great; helpful, informative, attentive and personable. The steak frites ordered by two in our part were very good, as was the filet. The halibut was on the dry side and the mashed potatoes very lumpy, the latter of which was not to my liking. The old fashioneds were fabulous and the wine list unexpectedly extensive with excellent choices!

    Petite Filet over cooked. Requested “ chef’s choice” which should table it on rare side. Young child bit of a screamer. But we were already to leave. Server Matt outstanding. Truffles is one of my top choices for dining.

    While the server was very nice, we felt terrible for her. The kitchen was terribly slow (server kept apologizing) and it was dead inside. We waited over an hour for our food and when it came out, finally, it was over cooked and was overall disappointing. The appetizers (ravioli and goat cheese were good), but the main course was not at all good. Will not go back.

    We went during parents weekend as we has heard good things. We were repeatedly warned by the restaurant to "be on time" as they were going to server more than 250 people. Well. the place was 80% empty and still 50% empty when we left at 6:45. The menu was short. The food was ordinary to bland.. All of it. There was pressure to "hurry" from staff to eat for no real reason. Be careful tip is already added and they don't tell you. Too many good places to go in town to drive out to a strip mall for overpriced bland food. They do have a good but pricy wine selection but that was not enough to overcome a bad experience. Drove 5 hours to town to take my son and friend out to dinner and I picked poorly. Avoid me mistake and skip here. Needs better management.

    Limited menu items. $30 burger and fries was dissapointing. The onion/bacon jam was good. The mushroom appetizer was just ok. I had higher expectations when described as fine dining.

    The starter was really good, original and creative in the presentation (goat cheese + toasted bread) and my piece of beef (petit filet) was excellent ! loved the way it was done and the seasoning ! Green beans were well cooked but too greasy for me and mashed potatoes were ok (nothing special) Maybe a hint of truffle oil could have made a difference. I think the white chocolate in the creme brulée did not add anything to it except too much sweetness. I would have preferred a classic crème brûlée for that matter. Plus, the strong citrus notes did remind me of "crème Catalane", which is not the same, and it doesn't match either classic vanilla bean crème brûlée nor white chocolate crème brûlée, in my opinion. Texture wise , it was great and the contrast between hot caramelized top and cool firm cream was there ! But definitely not worth $10... Sorry, I am French and pretty picky (as a former Chef). That being said, this place is and stays in my top 3 for fine dining in Bloomington !

    We eat early (5pm) and the ambience then was perfect for us. Music was low and agreeable. Service was especially good. I enjoyed scallops, my spouse beef filet. A Dönnhoff Riesling was recommended for the scallops and paired very well.

    Our first visit here and food &service was outstanding. Only downside was the a/c wasn’t working well so by the end if our meal it was toasty and we were ready to leave. We would have stayed for dessert except for the heat. Will definitely return!

    Our recent dining experience at Truffles was nothing short of amazing! From our delicious cocktails to the last bites of our desserts, everything was perfectly prepared and scrumptious. This is move in week at IU, so we expected that we might experience some crowding and wait time for service. There were several parents with their IU students, but the staff was well prepared and prompt with their service. It was a delightful evening, and we look forward to returning soon!

    The atmosphere was nice and the service was fine. The food was so salty that I could not eat it. We ordered calamari as an appetizer, and I had the scallops (which were over cooked AND too salty) for an entree. If you choose to go here I highly recommend staying away from the fried food- WAY over salted. I noted to the waitress that I couldn’t eat the scallops and she never addressed it or offered another option. For this price I would expect an amazing meal. That is not what we received and I left very disappointed.

    Celebrating our wedding anniversary -- and Truffles was a great choice. We started with prosecco and the goat cheese appetizer, which was delicious. We both ordered the 5 oz. filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus. That was just the right amount of red meat, perfectly cooked. We shared a lovely bottle of pinot noir. We finished off the meal with lemon sorbet and decaf coffee. Our server was attentive and helpful. Another delightful meal at Truffles!

    It’s been 20 yrs around and the deterioration in their service is noticeable. At dinner we found food flies - 4 of them! They were dusting the windows and picture frames while we were dining . The server forgot to bring our desert w/o a reason. We will never go there again! I would not recommend.
