Food is so very delicious. Cocktails are great with a nice variety. Ambiance is cozy and classy. The service here is phenomenal. The chef made me a vegetarian entre since none was on the menu, and it was so tasty, and he came out personally to check if I liked it. It's really just a wonderful dining experience.

Hidden Gem!!! I highly recommend it! 👌 If you are ever in Peoria, IL, you must stop by and have an unforgettable dinner! I will definitely come back whenever coming through the area! Or even just because!! Smoke Old Fashion is good! Special Elk chops are good! Oysters on a half shelf good good good!!! Located on a plaza that you would never think to find such an incredible place!
Fine dining at it's best. Amazing prices. We had the steak, scallop and rack of lamb. The steak is tender and fresh, done to exact temperature. Scallop is heavenly and the potatoes underneath is crisp and juicy. Lamb is incredible, done just right. The butter that come with the bread is amazing. It's a real gem
5 stars all around!! By far the best steak meal I’ve had in a long time! Highly suggest the Beef Diane that is just so juicy, cooked perfectly, paired with delicious mashed potatoes and a delicious sauce. I’d also suggest the Bison NY Strip. Don’t be afraid! It’s juicy, tender, delicious and different! My partner got this and we ended up splitting our meats so we could enjoy both cuts. We paired these with a to die for Old Fashioned and Espresso Martini. This was probably one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve ever had! We completed our meal with the bananas foster. You just have to get this. It’s not even a question, you must get this. Our service was phenomenal, even with the 6-8 tables she was helping. The whole vibe is great and totally unexpected from the outside. A great stop if in the area and a great surprise on our trip. Check them out on TikTok and ask for Lacey as your waitress.
Such a personable staff! Very sweet bartenders and food was amazing. My wife and I went for our anniversary and we had the best time. We didn’t make a reservation, which I recommend doing. They still were able to get us in at the bar thankfully. We will 100% be back!!
Hands down the best meal we've had in Peoria. I don't normally write a review unless it's a bad experience to warn people but...... 2Chezs inspired me from start to finish. I'll start by saying we've tried to dine here a couple times and reservations are always booked but recently realized that there is a community table so we tried last weekend but sadly people were waiting and rushing to get that table before the doors even opened people were lined up. We reserved a table for next weekend since we didn't get the table. Fast forward next weekend. It's a blizzard out and -3° out but we trucked it in to give it a try. Thr small restaurant was packed like the weather wasn't even an issue. Our reservation was for 7:30 but we arriveda little early thinkingthey may not be busy with the blizzard outside and temps steadily dropping. We were greeted by the co-owner and the chefs wife as we walked in, our table wasn't ready so we sat and waited at the bar. The ambience of the place was eclectic and effortlessly cool. Everything was perfect. Music was being played on an actual record player which I love and feel that music just sounds better on a record player. We were greeted by the chef/owner and talked with him for a bit and watched him flombay a bananas foster as his 2 sons bartended. The drinks are made with fresh ingredients like hand pressed ginger and freshly made syrups and lemonade. I had an aperol spritzer, my son had a peach lemonade and my husband had a whiskey mule. We were already impressed and loving the vibe and our drinks were delicious. We watched as they made smoked drinks and muddled fresh ginger. We also went and checked out the cool bathroom decor and played a game of I-spy with my son with the fun decorations. We finally get to our table and our the chef kindly gave us an appetizer for the wait. The bruschetta was perfectly seasoned and my husband who doesn't like raw tomatoes even tried and liked it. I was shocked! We ordered fries with tarragon ao
The owner came out and talked to us twice. Super friendly! We had the ribeye and the fries and sauce are out of this world. The bananas foster is a must. We will be adding this to our fine dining rotation for sure.
2 Chez is an absolute must-visit if you're in or near Peoria! After dozens of visits, I can honestly say I've never had a single negative experience. Todd, Cyndi, and Isaac Hohulin do an incredible job running both the bar and restaurant. Some personal menu favorites include the calamari, beef tartar, and oysters for appetizers, and the rack of lamb, halibut, and maple leaf farm duck for entrees. Don't skip dessert – the bananas foster and bread pudding are amazing. Plus, their soups, salads, coffee, and mixed drinks are always top-notch. Truly one of my favorite restaurants in all of Illinois! I recommend planning ahead and making a reservation. Bar and farm table are first come first serve.
Unforgettable dining experience!! This has been a place we have waited so long to try and it was worth the wait. The service was on point and delivery of food was paced perfectly. Never once did we have an empty drink or have to ask for anything. Food was served fresh and hot with great attention to detail. You can tell these owners take pride in their food and presentation. Do yourself a favor and save room for the banana's foster!! We will DEFINITELY be back to try more delicious options!
