I went there to experience the restaurant week. It's so far on the south side of campus, near the State Farm Center. There're many seats and tables inside, and people here were relatively quiet when I was having dinner there. I ordered the $23 meal - Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Soup, SoCal Fish Tacos, and Truffle Tart. I would say the soup was the best among the three. They added a spoon of sour cream on the top, which made the flavor even thicker. However, I would expect the tacos to be more tasty. Some of the nachos even got stuck together, which made them not fried sufficiently and so hard to bite. The dessert appeared to be less satisfying as well, which was way too sweet without a balanced overall taste. The serving people were helpful, though I thought some people might be less passionate than other good restaurants in Chambana. Overall, considering the distance, taste, price, and service quality, I might not recommend this place to students, but I may recommend it to people coming here for a short visit, since it's far away from the major blocks in town, where you can see another kind of silent and peaceful scenery in Chambana.

Terrific casual restaurant and bar attached to the I Hotel in Champaign, IL. We attended the U of I versus Marquette game. Perfect spot to grab some food and drinks prior to the game. Our server Hunter was great. We dined on appetizers of nacho's, chicken wings and guacamole. All were delicious. A wide array of drinks are available. We asked when they closed and were told 9:00 pm. To our pleasant surprise at the end of the game (well after 9:00 pm) management kept the bar open for a couple hours. Great job Houlihan's! Make sure your party comes all together cause they won't seat you until all are present. And get there early as it fills up fast.

My first time here. The atmosphere is classy and the background music perfect. My service was just right. I hade the filet of beef and it was as good as I've ever had.
