During our first visit to Roger Ebert’s Overlooked Film Festival, our first dinner experience was at this tin ceiling spot on a corner in Champaign. It’s located in the “old town” section of Champaign and is wife-and-husband owned and operated; support your local merchants, especially if they do a good job. The decor is inviting, with Day of the Dead (and other) icons hanging about.
The entrees combine Asian, European and South American ingredients – and all looked interesting; Thai black rice was one of the side dishes. We chose the Tapas route – 2 salads, a sausage and pat� plate, portobello mushroom, cheese plate, and olives marinated in oil and citrus. All were well presented and prepared.
Wines by the glass are reasonable, and wine list looked adequate.
