“This is the best restaurant in Carbondale. I held two business dinners here recently, and everyone loved the food. The chicken Marsala was sublime. Best crème brûlée I’ve ever had. Extensive wine list and real bartenders who can mix classic cocktails properly. My only complaint is that they don’t always have a vegetarian option on their rotating menu, so call first if your party needs vegetarian options and make sure they can accommodate.Parking: The parking lot has meters but I’ve not had to pay recently.”
“My husband, Scott, and I stopped by here while visiting the area over Christmas weekend. A fabulous, friendly and personalized experience. We sampled the beer, rum, whiskey and brandy and purchased the 49/51 corn/rye whiskey and 110 proof Brandy. Yum! The owner was very knowledgeable and we greatly enjoyed chatting with him. A special thank you for the delicious persimmon brandy.”
“Great place for a great variety of drinks and some good food with friends. Some of my friends moved to the area, and I love hitting up this place when visiting them. Service is great, and they know the menu and drink selections, so if you're adventurous like me, make sure to ask for suggestions to try new things.”
“Not a bad winery, grapes are grown on the premises. The wines were a miss for me, I did not care for them. David, the owner and our wine tasting host, is very knowledgeable and friendly. The winery is quaint and cute.”
“Restaurant staff were stellar! Friendly and attentive service always making sure any needs were met during entire dining experience. Food was plentiful giving great value for price. Quality was top notch with presentation looking great, and fresh tasting ingredients. One of best restaurants in Carbondale!”
“Smaller winery but they are so nice! Our server was the owner and he was super friendly and talked us into trying a wine we wouldn't have normally tried. Left with 2 bottles of the wine. Highly recommend this place to go and relax.”
“I put off trying this restaurant for literally months for a variety of reasons, and I am full of regret. I could have been partaking in this ambrosia on the regular all this time had I not been so stubborn. I ordered the #4 which is the fries with cheese sauce, steak, pico de gallo, and sour cream. The order was set to be ready in 20 minutes and they were finishing preparing it when I arrived.I am not kidding you when I tell you that my food smelled so good the entire way home it was distracting. When I opened the container though I was shocked by how nice the meal looked assembled. They don’t just pile it all together in a mess in the box. It’s nicely spread out and the sauces are evenly applied. And when I tell you that the taste actually made me emotional, I am not kidding. It was so so good. Perfectly spiced and seasoned with just the right amount of toppings. You could also tell they made everything fresh even though it was ordered mid-shift.The location was clean and staff were polite. I will definitely be back soon!I wish I had a photo but I started eating before I knew I was going to leave a review. And honestly posting a photo mid-meal won’t do the food justice. You need to try it.Vegetarian options: Tons of beans, cheese, and veggies to add on your fries or nachos.Dietary restrictions: You could easily make a custom order if you have dietary restrictions.”
“We had not eaten here for some time. After dining here last week, we asked outselves "why haven't we been coming here more often?" The food is very good quality, really fresh. The server staff is attentive and pleasant (something lacking at many restuarants nowadays). The dining environment is peaceful and the restaurant is kept clean and tidy. Hunan is certainly worth stopping in often for a nice meal.”
“Some cheap ingredients are definitely used from lettuce to cilantro to chicken. But they still make it taste good; you can just tell from the product qualityVegetarian options: No meat substitute but they do offer meatless options”
“Stopped in for food while in town. I was happy that someone greeted me right away when I came in. The young lady also helped me with ordering. I got the chicken teriyaki dinner with extra teriyaki sauce. Everything was delicious and served at perfect temperature. I was so hungry I forgot to get a picture before I started eating. They have daily specials and the atmosphere inside restaurant looked friendly. It's also a nice size for groups. I would highly recommend. They have plenty of parking around the restaurant. They only serve hot sake.”
“A very nice steakhouse, the steaks were full of flavor and cooked perfectly ( a ribeye medium rare and a strip medium). The steaks were generous in weight a few ounces above stated weight. Apps and sides also great and service was top notch. All in all a true 5 star.”
“I highly recommend the hibachi steak and shrimp. We also got an amazing Makanda specialty roll and a California sushi roll. Also, highly recommended is the Plumb sake.”
“I honestly appreciate my visit, I’m not to picky lol. Food was at an affordable price with drinks for me and my boyfriend. We went a 2nd time and got a coupon for a discount for our next visit. They are the best ??✨ always have respect for the servers and cooks and all the workers that work there. Plus the atmosphere is very colorful and festive, hehe???”
“Easily the best chinese buffet in the area. Restaurant is always busy and the food is very fresh. The crab rangoon is the best.Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of room for kids and larger groups.”
“We went with friends before a recital at SIU and it was so good. The folks there are kind and the vibe of the place is relaxed and fun. We look forward to our next trip!Kid-friendliness: Everyone is welcome and feels welcomedWheelchair accessibility: It’s all on one floor.”
“We were traveling through & staying at a nearby hotel. We found this cozy restaurant on Yelp and so thankful we did. Everything from the service, food to the ambiance was top notch. Our waitress was awesome & knew the menu very well and provided us with some guidance on different dishes and their spice levels. We ordered a couple different soups and 2 entrees, which I cannot remember the names of them, but everything was 5 stars, for sure. It was so good that I snapped a few pics of the menu so I can buy the ingredients & try to make at home (very cool that they included all the ingredients so we can try our best to replicate). We will DEFINITELY go back when near this town.”
“I really like the pizza. I could eat it for every meal. But the customer experience here is often not great. My spouse recently went to pick up a pizza we'd ordered over the phone. He waited in the parking lot for 20 minutes, knowing that's how long it takes to make the pizza, before heading into the drive through. When he arrived at the drive through window, they told him just a minute, then proceeded to ignore him as he tried to get anyone's attention for another 20 minutes. My pizza was cold and my spouse was pissed. I should have asked for a refund. A drive-through is supposed to be there to make the dining experience faster and more convenient. Don't have one if you're going to blow off your customers.Also, they have a $4 upcharge for salads if you want to take them to go, which is genuinely insane. When I've asked about this I was told it's because people were overfilling salads from the salad bar when taking out... which... if people are taking too much salad, just give them a smaller container?? I could understand a 50¢ upcharge, sure, but $4?? That's egregious.”
“Employees where very helpful and I've also done deliver pick up from here and the staff has always been very pleasant and helpful would definitely recommend this place for ”
“I'm delighted to share our positive experiences at this Chinese restaurant! Visiting three times in a month speaks volumes about the tasty sesame chicken and delightful dumplings. The warm hospitality from the staff, especially the woman today, added to the overall enjoyment. 谢谢for a wonderful dining experience!”
