Christmas is a magical day often filled with homemade gingerbread cookies, oven-baked ham, buttery mashed potatoes, and the other expected Christmas dishes & desserts, but it takes a lot of work to whip up everything in the kitchen for the entire family. If you're not interested in destroying your kitchen (and your sanity) this year, you'll be happy to know that you have other options for a holiday feast in Bloomington.
We recommend calling before dining as status and hours may change
