The new menu is great. More GF options make pleasing everyone much easier. We've been there 3x in the past month. Everything was delicious and served by very attentive staff. Drinks were great too!
One of my go to neighborhood places! Yummy drinks, oyster specials are solid, and the gift shop is super cute.
They have a good variety of salads and sandwiches. It's one of the better restaurants in Champaign . It gets busy so you may want to make reservations I really liked almond goat cheese salad. Their seared ahi tuna is really good as well
We were in town from Chicago and went during oyster week. My sister-in-law's from the East Coast and raved about them! Now that's a good reading in itself.
Made a second visit this week. Driving thru to Madison, WI and wanted a good meal. Looked at the menu, so many good choices. Decided to split the Cobb salad and get a margarita flat bread. Both were delicious. Cobb came piled high with all the fixings and the flat bread was made with superb ingredients. Tomatoes were tasty, basil was fresh and fresh mozzarella was plentiful. Definitely made a good choice. Highly recommend this can't miss restaurant. Attentive service and friendly staff. Definitely five star.
Yay, caught Oyster Week! I had a taste for some chargrilled oysters after a recent trip to Louisiana. The chargrilled oysters here aren't the best I've had... they seemed a little lacking so I asked for more garlic herb butter, meh... Now the oyster Bienville = simply delicious! It's my favorite and a showstopper for sure! The flavors are all so perfect I could probably eat a dozen on my own! I also had the lobster roll with truffle fries, also quite tasty! Pro tip: drizzle some of that garlic herb butter on the lobster! This place has a lot of options so I will be back just to try out other menu items and of course for the oysters Bienville next time they are having oyster week! The service is good, but it took A LONG time to receive our orders, not sure what happened there. I don't recall hearing music, but that would be nice to have some good tunes in the background. We tried the salted caramel ice cream and it was Divine!!! I'll definitely order that again! Oh and have a cup of coffee, the flavor is also quite nice!
I LOVE the Sun Singer We pass through the area yearly from Virginia to Wisconsin but just learned about this establishment. We may never eat anywhere else again when in town. Why do I say this? Because they do everything well. Specials. YES. Small plates. YES. Sandwiches. YES. You get my drift. Also, great beverage selection with dinner and to go. I'm already looking forward to my next to the Midwest!
Came here with a friend to catch up on an impromptu Monday night and had a great experience. Our waiter was very attentive, the service was fast, and the food was tasty. We ordered different items and both were delicious! My only slight complaint is that we were sat in a busier area - towards the wine shoppers and where people would walk through. However, we didn't make a reservation so the dining room may have been more full. Otherwise, everything was fantastic. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Club and Truffle Fries and my friend ordered the Cheese Fondue as her meal because it is so delicious. We were excited to see that there are many seasonal drinks on the menu, both were absolutely delicious and pretty! Sun Singer is a little pricey, but the food is always stellar along with the service. Portions are generous as well, so you never feel skimped for the price. We'll be back!
The wait to get out food was a bit long, but it was honestly very crowded so I don't really mind. The Host was very quick to get us seated and greet us as well. Our waitress was very sweet, and although she accidentally took my order down wrong, she gave me a complimentary lemonade as I waited and comped our sodas. (I would check the carbonation levels, they were pretty flat) The food was absolutely delicious, I was able to take some home and enjoy it the next day. The truffle fries are AMAZING, they are so crispy, perfectly cooked, and pair so well with the lobster rolls. The lobster rolls themselves were also stellar. I felt they were lacking some acidity, so the lemon and the garlic aioli in the side were perfect. I also stole my date's pickle and ate a bit of that as well. The service is very kind and friendly, they would always hold the door open for us even when we insisted that they didn't need to. I would definitely mark this down as a place to visit and return.
Been coming to Sun Singer for years now for special occasions. Some of my faves from the menu are the LOBSTER ROLLS and their TRUFFLE FRIES. This is a MUST-TRY! Their truffle fries and the garlic aioli are better than some of the dt Chicago/New York restaurant truffle fries that I have tried. Some days, I have the craziest cravings for these truffle fries. I would also highly recommend the Seared Scallop. The amalgamation of this dish is impeccable in every way; the risotto, the asparagus, and the scallops are all cooked to perfection. The bacon jam is such a unique touch to tie the dish together! We have also ordered the Lingunie Alfredo, which comes with massive portion size but were not sure if $4.5 to add bacon was worth it at all. The sauce was more liquidy than I would have liked, but overall a solid pasta option in the CU area. I am not sure if they do any birthday/anniversary celebrations because one of my friends, the server, brought us a small confection. But when I came in another time, there wasn't anything (but maybe they stopped offering it, who knows!) They also have an extensive wine list and oyster weeks, which are worth checking out!! Service is always great, it is truly always a pleasant dining experience at Sunsinger.
