StfRon and I spent Saturday, January 13 having dinner at one of the best establishments Peoria has seen in years, F. Scott's. We had an excellent dinner, starting with the baked brie of the day, then both ordering filets, mine with a bordelaise sauce and his smothered in bleu cheese. We then adjourned to the bar for some drinks. StfRon stopped by Sully at the bar and told him that he had the best servers in town. The servers are always top notch at F. Scott's, and that night was no exception.
We noticed that each server had an individual sit-down talking to in the bar while we were there, and each one appeared to be discouraged by what was said to them. We weren't sure what was afoot.
To our dismay, four days later, we opened our Journal Star to see the news that F. Scott's plans to close February 14, apparently due to a dispute regarding the building sinking, which is causing structural problems for the restaurant.
If you haven't made it here yet, try to get in if you can. F. Scott's will be missed by many.

F. Scotts is way overpriced and the food is good, but the same food can be had at other area establishments. I won't miss it.
We did notice this last time that the prices have seemed to go up, but the steaks were excellent.
The only place I can think of with comparable steaks in the area is Sky Harbor. Any other comparisons?
FYI,
The steaks were "overpriced" because the meat was prime. Believe it or not, no profit was made from the meat. The price paid was the price they paid from their supplier.
With food and service as great as F. Scott's had, we don't mind paying more.
