We took our daughter and her roommate to dinner at Jim's while visiting Bloomington/Normal for the weekend. We've been there twice before, and have enjoyed it each time. The service was excellent - and not at all rushed (there's nothing more annoying to me than to have food served when you've just started your salad!). The atmosphere is great -... more

Absolutely disappointed, on the verge of disgusting. Start with an appetizer of calamari, most likely a frozen bag from the grocery heated in the oven. Definitly not fresh. House salad was slobbered in a dressing that resembled a thick whipped cream. Ordered my $34 steak medium, only to receive a charred steak, well done on the outside, still walking around... more

Had lumps of what they called beef covered in a tepid, wiggly, gelatinous gravy. Bread was dried out. Service was indifferent. We were practically the only people in the place. more

Jim's is overall a very nice restaurant. The decor/ambience is appealing and tasteful. It is well suited for a romantic dinner but is also comfortable for friends/business partners.
