Review: Just had a delish lunch at La Charreada in Bloomington! The atmosphere was alive with great music, and the service was impressively fast. The chips and queso were the perfect start – absolutely delicious! And the steak fajita taco salad? Simply the best. La Charreada is definitely the top spot for Mexican cuisine in Bloomington, though shoutout to El Ranchero for being a super close second!

Review: If you’re looking for an amazing Japanese restaurant in town, then check out Sakura 15! This place has some of the best Japanese cuisine around, and their Spicy Miso Ramen is one of their specialties. The ramen is perfect, with just the right amount of spice, and the char-siu pork is tender and flavorful. My friend Casey ordered the Pho, and it looked delicious! The atmosphere here is also great – it’s cozy, casual, and inviting. Overall, Sakura 15 is a great restaurant that I would highly recommend!

Review: Today I had a delicious Indian meal with my good friend, Lan C. It was so hard to choose what to start with, everything smelled amazing. I filled my plate twice – It’s so nice to have a buffet of items to choose from including chicken curry, butter chicken, salad, dessert, & more. I finished with the Kheer-Rice pudding made with cardamom and would highly recommend everything I had. It’s a great atmosphere with traditional Indian Music including 5 star fine dining service. Thanks to everyone for a great experience, highly recommend this for 1-2 people or for large groups.

Review: The highlight of my experience was their West Coast IPA – a perfect blend. Their Czech Pilsner, with its crisp and refreshing taste, and the slightly more malty German Pilsner, were both delightful surprises.

The range of other delicious-looking brews caught my eye, and I’m already planning a return trip to try them. The brewery’s beer selection is outstanding.

This visit was made even more special by the event organized by the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with community leaders and fellow enthusiasts. The connections made during this event were invaluable.

Heartwork Brewing is not just about great beer; it’s a hub for building community relationships. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality brews and meaningful conversations in Bloomington.

Review: Upon arriving at 8:15 this morning it was very quiet. By the time I left at 10:30 it was bustling and lots of conversations going on. I met with Jordan and we talked about all the food in Bloomington. We agreed that Verona is a great place and Jordan really enjoyed the cinnamon rolls, the scone, and the coffee drink. I was really happy to find out that the coffee refill was free when you are dining in. The Wi-Fi was really fast and worked well. What a great place to start the day.

Review: What a beautiful place. This is much better than what used to be there. The place was fairly empty when I met Charlie for lunch. The fresh salsa was delicious and went great on top of my grilled shrimp salad. I didn’t care for the packaged ranch or French dressing but they gave me some hot sauce on the side that was perfect. I finished my whole salad and it was delish plus I felt great that I didn’t eat all the queso and other things I really wanted to order. I highly recommend this place. It’s beautiful inside and there were so many things I wanted to try.

Tried a Mediterranean salad and got a free upgrade to steak instead of chicken, which was a delightful surprise. Ended the meal with a delicious chocolate pretzel brownie. Love supporting this local, small business! The customer service was top-notch. Highly recommend! #ShopLocal #GreatFoodGreatService
