Fusion 40.83

Great food especially cheese balls with grape sauce and the atmosphere transcends Urbana!

Just left here after waiting over an hour for my bill. I literally finished my food and had it taken away an hour ago. I wanted to redeem my free dessert for checking in but I wasn’t asked if I’d like to see a dessert menu. The bartender basically said nothing to me after taking my plate. I also saw the head cook checking dish’s taste by using his finger instead of a clean spoon which is very unsanitary. I will not be coming back here.

Love this place! Nice atmosphere. Interesting menu. Nice presentation. Good service. We tried several apps and liked them all. I split a ribeye with my fiancé and it was oh so good! The signature crab cakes are heavy on the crab which is great. It can be a little pricy though. We went for Valentine’s Day last year (made reservations) and had a great time.

I’ve eaten here a couple times at lunch and as much as I want to like this place I just can’t. For the quality and quantity I just find them way over priced. I’ve had meals that were not bad and others that I just couldn’t understand how they could get it so wrong. Luckily, I’m an amazing cook and can honestly say I’m happy cooking at home for less money and much better taste. The wait staff is always friendly so that’s a plus and the setting is nice. The addition to outside tables is nice. But, if you’re looking for gourmet food I would suggest a drive to the city.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. Our waitress was very friendly and knew the menu and specials. We started with the risotto, which was great. The salad with house dressing (lemon honey vinaigrette) was light and very good. Hubby had blue cheese dressing and said it was good too. We tried the crab cakes and the Asiago chicken, which were great as well. The vegetable was grilled asparagus with bacon and onions (who doesn’t like bacon?!?). The mashed potatoes were just okay, they did not come with any gravy so they were kinda bland and dry. Overall, this was a great place and we will likely return for other occasions!

Fantastic meal. Great service. Wonderful desert. Great atmosphere. Husband got the crabcakes & i got shrimp w indian curry sauce. Will definitely eat here again.

Manager went out of his way for us. Great drinks and food was good. For this small town, it is pretty urban.

I’ve been here a few times now and I always gets the same thing. The shrimp scampi. It’s so delicious. You get a generous serving of shrimp.
My salad was just as delicious. Their lemon vinaigrette is what makes it so good. I wish I had the recipe.
I will definitely keep coming back.

This place has honestly been mostly pretty good. Most dishes are great and with very generous portions, though they are frequently out of specials and even regular menu items.
The salmon salad with the chef’s own dressing has always been wonderful and has become my go-​to dish here. We’ve also had the pad thai, though I recommend you order it with more spice as it is too bland otherwise. The jalapeño cheese curds are a fun appetizer, and their seafood specials are generally quite exceptional.
We were, however, disappointed on our last trip. My husband ordered the blackened swordfish special, which came served in two suspiciously frozen looking pieces. He was chowing down on one piece of fish and encouraged me to try a bite. I took a small forkful from the piece of fish from which he was not eating and was repulsed by the flavor, swishing water and beer in my mouth to get out what was, honestly, a rancid taste. My husband, confused, tried a bit of the fillet I had sampled, and he, too, made a grossed-​out face. I tried his piece, which tasted okay. We brought this to the waitress’s attention, and she returned a moment later to tell us that the chef had cut both pieces from one piece of fish. I was a little peeved by the response for 2 reasons: 1) the chef was standing, completely within our line of sight, in the kitchen not 15 feet away. If someone said something tasted spoiled, he should have come out himself, not sent the waitress back with an excuse; and 2) they didn’t even knock even a bit off the price, even though we clearly left the foul piece of fish on the plate. We had never returned anything from the restaurant, and it’s not like we went into the evening trolling for a discount (I mean, we didn’t even ask), but come on. Maybe offer a cup of coffee on the house? This was, by and large, the only real problem we’ve had at this restaurant.
The atmosphere is charming and cozy, with fresh flowers on the table daily from a local floral shop. Full bar, nice international offerings on the menu, and a nice rotation of daily specials. It’s a bit on the pricey side, and I would recommend business casual attire, though it’s not uncommon to see dudes in ball caps and blue jeans. All in all, I’d say give in a try for sure.

The food is generally pretty good except the salad… I really hate the salad. It is usually a good idea to ask them to ease up on the pepper as well unless you like a lot of it. Other than those minor things, food and beer selection is great for this area.

Food is pretty good. Very pricey though.

It was just «okay.» Nothing remarkable other than it’s in Urbana. Had it been in Springfield or Dayton, it would be just another trendy (a past trend) restaurant.
Friday lunch (11:30) and the place was empty. Total of three tables, us included. After ordering it took a long time for the food to arrive (35+ minutes).
Good news: chicken tandoori pita sandwich was good. As well as the chicken salad sandwich.
«Okay» news: chicken and pepper wrap special was unremarkable but was lacking in any type of taste.
Bad news: Crab bisque was inedible. Still can’t get the taste out. I like seafood soups (lobster bisque, seafood chowders, etc). But this concoction, ugh. Not good.
Waitress was attentive. But, it will probably be a long time before I go back.

Excellent Asian, fusion, and traditional cuisine right in the heart of Urbana.

An excellent addition to a town that lacks in culture. The dishes are a nice mix of many influences, big one being Indian; hence the name fusion. Prices are fitting for the meals and I will say you won’t leave unhappy. The wine and craft beer selections are a nice added bonus as well. The best food and craft beer selection you will find in Urbana.

Great food, great vibe in Urbana!!! The trout was outstanding… we also had the Pad Thai and Shrimp Scampi which were also good! The waitstaff was outstanding… super informative, and friendly. Kitchen was super fast as well. Highly recommended!!!

Great place for a nice meal. The food was fabulous! The staff is friendly and I was impressed that the owners were onsite and working. Little pricey but worth every penny! We will definitely come back if ever in Urbana again.

Just finished eating the appetizers I picked up the hot pepper cheese balls and the risotto were awesome, I wish I would of went later so I could of got to try the beef Wellington, I’ll have to go back some other Saturday

A surprise in Urbana, found with the help of Unilocal (and friends and family…)
I had the pretzel-​bun burger, with chips, and potato soup (a soup of the day.) The soup was very good; maybe I say that because it’s a lot like the way I make it. The burger was pretty good, and the chips were a nice touch. Made there, I think; the other obvious local choice would be Mumford’s, but I don’t think that’s what they were.
Service was friendly and professional. Wish I’d asked the waitress’s name… The atmosphere of the place is warm, a bit trendy. I’ll definitely be back.

Wow, I can’t believe we just stumbled into this place. It’s awesome. I had caribbean jerk chicken and the boy had Philly steak. Food was fantastic. The chips were homemade, and the people were super nice. The prices are really fair as well.
Easily worth the drive up from Springfield.

This small town gem is always an adventure in tastes. Whether its the mix of beers on tap or the variety of ethnic food of the menu. You are in for a treat. Reasonable prices for the area.
Give it a try!
