Our first time eating here today and delicious! The bananas foster cheesecake is by far one of the best desserts we have ever had! The French onion soup was delicious and so were the cheese curds! The only thing we didn’t like was the Cuban, nothing wrong with it just didn’t hit our tastebuds, we should’ve tried the burger!!! They looked so much better. Our waitress was so sweet and kind! We definitely will be back

Came with my family of five; three adults, two seniors. The appetizers, cheese curds and bread, were delicious! The sauce that comes with the curds was the best part, the parm butter needed something more to it where I wish it was just butter. Still good! Dinners were..french onion soups, pork steak, tenderloin sandwich, shrimp’n’fries, fish’n’chips, and the french onion burger. Everyone was satisfied, but the thing everyone was mentioning was that seasonings could be stronger and deeper. My onion burger couldve been much more onion-y and needed salt. The fish was incredibly fresh and quite peppery, very good! They are not fried, though, only breaded, so not crispy like my brother thought.
We plan to come back again as the atmosphere and our server was top tier! Worth trying a new dish. Cheyenne was absolutely incredible ♡

Appetizer (Cheese Curds): I loved the crispness and cheese combination they used to make the curds. The sauce has a great tomato taste and doesn’t feel like a regular marinara sauce.
BBQ Shrimp- The sauce tasted watered down, leading to the rice and shrimp not having much flavor to it.
Honey Salmon- Beautiful char and salmon taste, which reduces the nasty fish taste some fish may have.

Holidays drinks were delicious, French onion soup couldn’t have been better, and banana foster was yummy! We love how friendly and affordable this place is. You can sit inside with a few of the river too. A diamond in the rough!

Worth the short drive if you live in Peoria! Went here for the 1st time last night and I’m already looking forward to the next visit. Was immediately greeted and sat for the 6pm reservation on the dot and within 5-10 minutes, we had cocktails and Island shrimp(can’t recommend enough!) in front of us. Sweet chili lime wings followed shortly after and lasted all of 5 minutes before it was bare bones.
Entrée included the Huli Chicken, sweet potato waffles and the Onion Gratinee Soup. The chicken was superb and was even tender and delicious the next day cold out of the fridge. Waffle fries were a highlight, super fluffy and seasoned to perfection. Soup was really solid, but if there was any lowlight of the evening, I’d have to choose it. Saying it wasn’t enjoyable or even criticizing it would be a stretch though, don’t let me detour you from trying. Multiple staff helped and checked on us throughout the meal and we didn’t wait for anything at any point.
Can’t wait to try more of the menu!
10/10 all around

We stopped here multiple times and have always enjoyed the food. Sweetwater is a perfect spot for a date night, or a quick burger lunch. The food is fresh, ingredients taste high quality, and drinks hit the spot.

Near Peoria along river road in Rome is this casual, yet nice, upscale restaurant with outside views of the river. Their food is excellent. From the Honey Salmon to their thick tenderloin sandwich, each of entrees were delicious and satisfying. Ample parking, seating near the bar, dining room and outdoor on the deck.

Food was good. The pork sandwich was good. I had shrimp citrus salad which was ok. But too sweet for me with the asian dressing. The kids meals – popcorn chicken & cheeseburger were decent for price. The Ruben salad was a bit plain per my FIL. Fried pork tenderloin was a hit. The cheese curds were decent as well. Service was bit slow, but the outdoor seating was amazing with the view of Illinois river. Would come again.

What a great place on the Illinois River in Rome, Illinois south of Chillicothe. We went here for the first time today to celebrate my son’s 31st birthday with family. It’s a very clean and unique restaurant. With a very well rounded menu. We had several different meals. Steak, tenderloin sandwich, shrimp, grilled pork chop and fried bluegill fillets. All were delicious and presented on the plate very well. Each table had fresh flowers in a unique vase that we’re a very nice touch. Our waitress was not in a great mood or having a bad day so she wasn’t very attentive and when we tried getting her attention just to get a spoon for my 2 year old granddaughter she didn’t appear to hear our repeated requests and continued walking away so I went and got one from the bar myself. Maybe she had something going on that she was dealing with so I won’t hold this first encounter against her. We all hve have had bad days, me included!! Other than that it’s a great restaurant with a cool outdoor patio with big brick fireplace. We will definitely be back!!
