Q: This is a review of their lunch/afternoon menu. The Skinny: so-so sandwich, okay pizza (2), space cadet waiter with a lengthy wait (1), pretty good lunch special pricing (3). My hubby and I came here at 2 pm to grab a late lunch. This place had a nicer vibe at lunch than during their evening hours - less loud, less pretentious, less obnoxious. We were surprised how bad the service was given that the day before we'd had an excellent waiter. Our waiter gave us our menu and then went MIA most of the time. It took longer than 10 minutes to put down our order. It took over 30 minutes for our food (a crab-cake sandwich special and a bbq chicken pizza) to arrive which is bad considering that 1) the restaurant was lacking patrons during this time and 2) they are trying to cater to the speedy lunch crowd. The crab cake sandwich ought to be bread with a small side of crab-cake. There were large slices of bread to the point where you can barely see the crab cake. My husband did not finish the bread and actually opened up his sandwich and just ate the crabcake. The french onion soup it came with was okay - not cheesy enough but okay. The bbq chicken pizza was okay - not great. The crust was not crisp enough. Too little toppings with too much sauce made this pizza feel pretty unbalanced. The accompanying field green salad was fine except for the raw leeks that were in there. (Leeks are really not meant to be raw, dudes!). Overall, this lunch service needs to be improved to match what happens here in the evening.

Q: I cannot understand why every restaurant was closed at 7:30pm ? I landed 15 minutes later than expected, dying for a drink somewhere and something to munch on while I waited for a colleague of mine to land 45 minutes later. I walked all over the terminal. Both floors. EVERYTHING except a little news stand was closed. At 7:30? that is unheard of. Nothing to see, nothing to do. Some of the worst airport food I've seen. Even the Starbucks didn't have fruit. Meh.

Q: Been here several times now. I can definitely say I will continue to go back. My favorite is the mint chocolate chip ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies. The service is always fast and the employees are so friendly. You cannot beat the price. Two dollars? Is this real life. Thankfully it is.

Q: This restaurant was such a disappointment for me. When I asked around from students who had been there before, they all told me it was a really nice elegant tasty restaurant. That is far from the truth. I expected something really nice and posh, and well...tasty. Instead, when we got there everything looked really cheap and tacky. I'm not sure if it's because this place was in Urbana and they thought they didn't need to be nice or what, but it just was sad. I thought maybe the food would redeem itself, but NO. We ordered the caprese and let me say I've had much much better. The whole thing was so inedible. We ordered that because it looked like an appetizer that you cannot mess up, but we were wrong. In addition, my friend is a vegetarian and they had only one or two items on the entire menu that were vegetarian friendly. I hate when a restaurant skimps out on vegetarian meals. I am not a vegetarian, but I do like to occasionally skip on meat. The whole menu in general did not give a classy vibe. I do not know if it's because I've seen really good menus in Chicago and I'm being biased, but this was not good at all. The vegetarian pasta I ordered was really extremely bland. It supposedly had pesto sauce, but you could barely taste it, and the veggies were definitely undercooked for sure. When I heard it was supposed to be a nice dressy place I put on a dress and thought I'd blend in well, but then when we got there, it was a mix of people really dressed up and others wearing sweats and a t-shirt. I do not know what that was all about, but it turned me off. I hear the steaks are great, so maybe that's the only thing they specialize in? I can understand why someone living in Urbana or Champaign would come here seeing as there are limited nice restaurants in the area, but I would rather go to Timpones, Biaggis or Jim Gould's over Kennedy's.
