The duck had a great texture, but the sauce fell short compared to what I've had at other establishments, like Siam House. The portion of duck was also smaller than I expected. On the positive side, the fish was tasty, and I would recommend it. The burger, priced at $20 with fries, was rather uninspiring. While the seasoning on the burger was good, the bun and toppings made it feel like a homemade meal with ingredients from the grocery store. You can find a much better and more memorable burger for less at Bru. The fries, however, were excellent, made from hand-cut potatoes with the skin on, perfectly crispy, warm, and well-seasoned. For dessert, I had the butterscotch option based on the server’s recommendation, and it was enjoyable. I didn’t try any drinks, but the drink selection seemed extensive, which might be the main reason to visit this place. If I return, it would likely be for drinks, not food. Overall, the bill exceeded $100, including a generous tip. It was a pleasant evening on a quiet Monday, but I felt it was more expensive than it was worth.

They market themselves as a cocktail bar, but the three cocktails we tried were poorly balanced. The interior has a basic modern style and feels cramped. There are definitely better places to spend your money in Bloomington. Service: Dine-in.

The food was very disappointing. My one word to describe entree is blah. No seasoning, no flavor, temperature was lukewarm, even the whipped cream on the dessert had no taste. I would go back for drinks, but I probably would not order food. Service: Dine in
