Live from Peoria, it’s Saturday Night starring this week’s host, Jim’s Steak House and featuring special guest stars, Amber, Joe, Terra, Garrett and Laura, the helicopter woman!
Now, please put your hand together and welcome this week’s host from beautiful downtown Peoria, Jim’s Steak House!
Here we are in downtown Peoria and there’s tonight’s dining destination, Jim’s Steak House.
This is the first Saturday night where we actually are going to eat inside of the restaurant since that rotten pandemic set in over a year ago and forced us to eat frozen pizzas and get take-out for a year and a half.
Well I’m vaccinated and the numbers for the virus are low, so it’s inside we go! This is exciting!
We’ll take the golden elevator down to the lower level to the fancy foyer of Jim’s Steak House.
I love all the photos in here. There’s local legends Richard Pryor and Sam Kinison plus Jay Leno who will also be pictured on tomorrow’s blog, so stay tuned for that.
My favorite photo in Jim’s is this signed photo from when Warren Zevon played a show here. Note the date: 9/4/94. Ahhooo!
Now we’ll enter the elegant dining room and as I approach this table I think I see some familiar faces at this table over here…
It’s my friends, Amber and Joe! They’re joining me for dinner tonight and it’s always wonderful to spend a Saturday night with these two.
We actually hung out a lot during the pandemic and it’s nice to be out on the town with them again!
Here’s Terra, our pretty waitress who said she was glad that people are going out again. She said that Jim’s has been getting decent crowd’s again and that it was good to see people going out again.
She took our orders, and I ventured away from the table for a couple more photo opportunities in Jim’s.
Here’s the bar which we’ll be returning to for an after dinner drink.
Jim’s has a great piano bar in here and Ben and Kate were providing the live entertainment.
They are a talented and fun duo, check them out at their facecrack page by clicking here.
Meanwhile, back at our table…
The first course has been served! Both Amber and I got a cup of the homemade broccoli cheese soup and it was thick, rich and delicious. Joe got a dinner salad and said it was quite tasty.
We’re off to a delicious start!
Here’s Terra delivering our main courses!
I got the Tortellini Michelangelo, Amber got the Oriental Beef entree and Joe got the Medallions of Steak Diane.
The food was so delicious and I forgot how wonderful it is to sample their delicious entrees in the wonderful, dark and elegant atmosphere of Jim’s Steak House dining room!
This was the perfect place to come to after dining in my apartment for the last year and a half!
After dinner we stopped in at the bar and there’s bartender Garrett, serving up our drinks with a friendly smile!
Cheers from all of us at Jim’s Steak House! It’s great to be out and about again!
Right as we were getting ready to leave, we ran into our friend Laura at the bar! She’s looking fabulous and it was great to see her! We found out she’s now a helicopter woman, which I couldn’t be happier about!
Thanks to everyone at Jim’s Steak House for the fantastic service and food and thanks to Amber and Joe for having dinner with me. It’s so nice to be dining out again on a Saturday night!
