Truffles Restaurant & 56 Degrees Bar

Truffles Restaurant and the 56 Degree Bar have been a fine-dining destination on Bloomington's east side, at 1131 S College Mall Rd, since 2000. The restaurant calls itself chef-driven, with dishes that range from classic steakhouse fare to international plates, and it promotes a deep wine and spirits list along with wine and cocktails at the bar.

Nightly specials posted on the website have included a 16 oz USDA Prime ribeye, Kumamoto oysters on the half shell and salmon chowder, so check the site for what is on that evening. The setting is described as intimate, suited to everyday meals and special occasions.

The site lists outdoor dining and private dining for events. Curbside, carryout and delivery orders are placed by phone, with a 5-mile delivery radius. The restaurant lists dinner hours of 4:30 to 9 PM daily, which may change, so call 812-330-1111 to confirm.
