My Husband and I went here for a date, drove all the way from Peoria. Had a late dinner reservation. Sat in a cozy corner in the back room. Unfortunately our server focused on her last tables and side work. Kinda forgot about us and then avoided us entirely. Missed our appetizer completely. Got our drinks in okay time. Dinner was great. Never checked in on us. The gentleman offering us water later in the meal was the only time. By then we wanted to just pack our food. She came to the table to offer us dessert ... Didn't feel into it by then. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and felt our experience lacked so we gave it another shot by moving over to the bar area to have a second drink. Our bartender was great. Management seemed scarce so wasn't able to inform one of our experience but we told our bartender. He did his best to make sure our drinks were spot on.
I emailed and reached out, as we love the partnered restaurants and have been to them various times. Never heard back. It's been quite a while now. Didn't want anything out of the deal but just felt slighted and felt it important to share or nothing ever CNA be fixed or worked on training wise for staff. Drove all the way out there to then feel it wasn't the best. Will be back again to see if anything has changed. Hoping so!

We were forgot about at first. Wanted to order appetizers but so much time went by that we couldn't make it to our next event in time. Service was better after we were found. Cocktails were ok, and the food was average. We had the bluegill sandwich and steak. The bluegill tasted like river catfish, and the steak was, eh ok. Fries were cold/hard, and I had to drink 2 gallons of water that night to rehydrate for all the salt that was applied to the fries. Overall, I wish they had a 2.5 star button to push.

The atmosphere & ambiance is ONLY outdone by the cuisine- DELICIOUS doesn't quite capture how superlative our meal was. And the cocktail!?? OMG amazing. Wonderful service, also. Bravo B & P!

Absolutely love this place. This is my second time visiting. I love this cozy speakeasy in downtown bloomington. Great music. Lovely waitresses/waiters and awesome bartenders. Kaitlin took care of me and my friend and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food and drinks were very fresh. Will be visiting again with family! I ordered the oysters Rockefeller and a white blend and the garden martini.

We've been to Bakery and Pickle many times and the food and service has always been fantastic. They are very creative with their dishes and cocktails. I've also ordered off menu on drinks many times and they are always accommodating. Easily one of the best restaurants in Bloomington/Normal.
