"The bartender does not know how to make any drink. I had to return a martini twice, wine was horrid, old fashions tasted completely wrong. The interior is very nice, so we had high hopes. We had their lasagna and seasonal pasta. Both were very tasty. The winter bowl however is tasteless and inedible. We had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately we will not be returning."

"We celebrated Valentine's Day here there was a five-course special that began with Zucchini Fritas, followed by Brussel Sprout salad with apples and walnuts, bread and cheese, Porcini and Portobello Ravioli, Filet of Beef Steak w/mushrooms and a dessert plate that had a chocolate covered strawberry, pistachio white chocolate mousse, a chocolate flourless torte and berries in a meringue cloud. The meal was finished with a heart-shaped muffin. We were served pretty quickly. Our waiter was very pleasant, and the first few selections were served quickly. We really did not care for the Zucchini appetizer. There was not enough zucchini, and it was greasy tasting. The salad was nice. The bread was unimpressive, not even as appetizing as Avanti's bread and oil. The "cheese" that we were told was a popular item was a reimagined cheese mixture that contained several forms of cheese along with cream. It tasted bland and lacked authentic cheese flavor. Are ravioli was undercooked and chewy. It had a wonderful sauce and mushrooms with it, but it was hard to get past the texture of the ravioli. After our ravioli was served, we ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our main entree. We noticed that a couple who came in after us received their entry prior to us. We really didn't complain because it was Valentine's Day. Our waitress made an excuse that there was some type of delay in the kitchen, but we could see that it clearly a "mixup." By the time that we received our main course, our dessert plate was already being served. Our waiter and waitress that served us were pleasant, but for the price we paid, we would not revisit this restaurant."

"Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall. All seasons are a great time to head to the wonderful atmosphere of Cyd;s in the Park. Whether you are sitting on the patio or the revitalized mid-century modern space inside, you have lots to visually take in. Summer sunsets on the patio are pretty amazing. But a warm fire ring in the fall is a close second. The food is always top notch and the menu changes frequently. This a welcome relief from other eateries that served the same menu for decades or more. The mixed drink menu and craft beers rotate as well. I would be remiss if I did not mention the surroundings of Donovan Park. If you are early for your reservation (highly recommended) or need a walk after an amazing dinner... Take a stroll through the Peoria Heights Art walk that are a short walk away. Oh, and if you are just hanging out at the park... Stop downstairs and grab something from the bakery."

"Had a great server named Margot. She had a sunny disposition and really great good suggestions. We got the cozy carrot dip at her suggestion and it blew us away. Everytime we come here it feels like home. My dad passed suddenly and i needed some comfort today. And cyds feels like my comfort food spot. Thanks for another wonderful visit."

"First tike here! Such a wonderful atmosphere! Staff was very nice & food was prepared fairly quickly & it was SO SO GOOD!!! I got a mimosa & my husband got a iced coffee to start!
