Yesterday's Grill - Pekin

Love the ambiance, food and fellowship there. Joelle is awesome with her food creations

Literally nothing my companion or I had was more than passably edible, including the water. At first I thought it was flavored but quickly realized it tasted like cleaning solution. When we asked for new glasses of water, the owner came over and insisted there was nothing wrong with the water and was rather nasty about it. I mean, it's tap water, not like they lost money on it. The burger I ordered was more of a ball than a patty, and still dry throughout. The flavor was okay, but the meat/bread ratio was extreme one way and then the other due to the odd shape. My friend's steak was very fatty and overcooked. The side of a baked potato oddly had some thing green and leafy inside it, like they used a dirty knife to cut the potato. Difficult to believe they wouldn't have seen a 2-inch piece of vegetable(? on the knife though. My friend asked for butter and received a pile of little cafeteria-type butter packets, most of them already open because of how oily they were. When the bill came, it had two extra charges on it; one for an additional tax that the waitress couldn't explain, and the other was a credit card processing fee. I understand this charge is becoming more common, but it was on the bill before they knew how we were paying (cash and because the overall experience was so negative, my friend couldn't help but wonder if it would've been removed if we hadn't specifically asked about the additional fee. One star for the very pleasant waitress. Even she seemed taken aback at how snotty the owner got with us over the water, and seemed appropriately embarrassed over the nasty butter even though we didn't say anything about it. After the issue with the water, we just ate what we could and didn't bother complaining about what was easily the worst dining experience I've ever had in Pekin.

The Duck Confit was amazing!! Very kind great service. Also very accommodating for kids!

Overall, YBG is a great option for a special occasion or a night out with friends. The creative cocktails and chef inspired dishes are sure to impress!

Our company Christmas party was held at YBG and all of the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was festive and elegant and perfectly decorated for the holiday season!
