Craft309 Kitchen - Peoria

I made a reservation one month in advance to beat the crowd. I arrived at the restaurant and was told by the hostess that they do not use OpenTable and therefore had no record of my reservation. The wait was long, so I chose to take my business elsewhere. Not sure what the point of making a reservation was if it was not going to be honored.

We came for lunch and we initially were the only party there with only one other group coming in after us. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. It was quiet, clean, well spaced out, and easy to find. The menu is slightly limited so it's not likely a place once would visit often due to lack of choices. Prices were reasonable for about half of the items, the rest I felt was on the expensive side. That being said, the food was delicious as was agreed by our whole party. I only knocked down the value a bit because I thought it was petty to charge for a side of ranch which I asked for my fries. I was not informed there either be a charge and I just think it's ridiculous to charge for something like that. I did feel that it seemed to take a while to get our food after ordering considering we were the only ones there, so I would just throw caution if it would be more busy on what that impact may be but I can't speak from experience since this was my first visit.

Fabulous experience and great food for lunch yesterday! I got the hangover burger and OMG it was to die for! We will definitely be back soon. Convenient location for those of us who work downtown and the atmosphere is beautiful! Check out all of the taps in the bar if/when you go! I don’t drink beer but if you do, there is plenty to try! 5/5 from me and I am super picky!

Seated very quickly. Waitstaff took our order quickly and we got our food quickly.

Didn’t have items on menu or half of the wines on the wine list. Complained that their system was down but clearly understaffed.
