    I have been planning a trip with my 2 sister's for a few weeks. I am very familiar with the area, but i haven't been here in years. I yelped area restaurants to see where we could get a descent meal and was very surprised to see this place with great reviews. So I had to go and to my surprise I was not disappointed. The food was great the server was excellent. We all ordered different meals and desserts and had a tasting of each. Sorry but I can't remember the names. The desserts were Banana Forrester crem burlee and the red velvet cupcake all were great. I will be back when I'm in the area in October.

    Traveling south on 57 we found this unassuming gem in a small southern Illinois town. Wonderful bread, awesome soup and salads. Actual meals were wonderful as well, totally worth the stop on the square.

    My daughter and I stopped in for dinner on our way back for the State Science Fair in Carbondale. Very friendly and competent service from the call to make a reservation to the time we walked out. Specials were excellent. We had a couple of steaks. Done just right. Great corn and bacon chowder. I'm giving it five stars because it's obvious they are trying hard and doing a great job. My only recommendations are to drop some $$$ into some interior improvements and upgrade the silverware.

    This is such a great little spot on the square in Benton! Great variety of menu options, friendly staff and delicious food. The owner(s)/head chef are doing a great job with this restaurant! On Wednesdays they have a taco salad special and it was definitely one of the best taco salads I've ever had - such fresh ingredients.

    Amazing! We ordered fried mushrooms for an app that were hand breaded and did not disappoint. We had the chicken marsala and chicken carcioffi for dinner. Both were very good! Great atmosphere and staff too!

    Delish! All things made from scratch. Nothing processed here. I have two words...Bananas Foster! So good! Seasonings is a very good place to eat.

    We love Seasonings. When we travel back to Benton, it's high on our wish list. Seasonings is a great little restaurant on the square. For such a small town, this place is such a great find. The chef is creative and pairs items well. Nearly every meal has been outstanding especially for the area. We love the princess sauce. I always crave their unique tomato soup. They home bake this very own focaccia bread. They have great specials including their kobe burger. If you are in town or anywhere near by, take advantage of this diamond.

    I've been here 2ce now & I'm making plans to go back. The first time I got the French dip, it was a generous sized sandwich. Yesterday I got the taco salad which was the special of the day & absolutely delicious! I would recommend getting the specials! I also ordered dessert: Creme Brûlée & it was awesome!!!! My only complaint was the menus don't fit the atmosphere, they have descriptions of food mixed up & as a graphic designer I'd love to offer my services to give them menus with a little more class this restraunt deserves ;) the food was 5* & wonderful! Can't wait to go back!

    Wow. What a great little place in the middle of small town southern Illinois. It is obvious that the workers/owners are proud of their place and they should be.

    EXCELLENT gem of a restaurant in a small town. Totally unexpected, but we are happy we stumbled upon this great find. Our extended family (8 adults, 3 kids) ate here this past weekend for a family dinner. Everyone was happy with their food. It was obviously made from scratch, no pre-prepared crap food here! The rolls were not something I usually indulge in, but these were homemade & freshly baked. Served with soft butter - absolutely worth it! I had the salmon with a lemon/green onion sauce and the broccoli and green beans. All of it was excellent. My husband had a steak, Cesar salad and broccoli. The desserts were too tempting to pass up. He opted for the bananas foster and I went for the creme' brulee. The creme brulee was large and delicious! The service was excellent as well. All of our food came out in a timely manner and at the same time (which can be tough for larger parties). It was truly a dining experience we'll remember. If I'm ever in Benton, we'll be sure to stop back by Seasonings. If you're in the area, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

    I have to start by admitting a bit of a bias. I've known the owners for awhile as a result of having worked with them at a previous business. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about Seasoning. The food here is far and away the *best* I've had in a 50 mile radius. This is including Mary's, Legends, and Tom's Place. Another thing to consider is how affordable it is. For similar type meals (steaks, pork chops, whatever the special of the day is), you'll pay about half of what you would at the aforementioned places. The other night, I had a salad, two glasses of sangria, a 16 oz. steak, risotto, tomato soup, and a dessert, and spent only $40 ($10 of which was a tip because my server was incredibly friendly). The steak was cooked perfectly (super-rare, for reference, as I had ordered it), juicy, seasoned nicely, and probably a couple ounces above what was advertised. The soup (tomato basil bisque, which you MUST try if they have it that day) was creamy and delicious. The risotto was expertly prepared with a fantastic flavor. The dessert, donuts with fresh berries and a blackberry blood-orange reduction was delicious. Next time I'll go with the creme brulee, which is crazy amazing, and induced jealousy in everyone at my booth when the orderer ate it. Another great part of Seasoning is that the staff NEVER makes you feel unwelcome. There is no dress code and you'll be seated and treated just as well if you're wearing holey acid-wash jeans as if you are wearing a tuxedo. If you show up on a slow night, the owners will come out and talk to you, seeing if they can customize your meal in any way. I would suggest getting reservations on any night, but definitely on the weekends, as they have a pretty small establishment. Table turnover doesn't take a long time, but if you have other plans, it wouldn't hurt to have them save one for you.

    I have been to Seasoning about 3 times now and I have to say this small super friendly restaurant is a gem. It's the kind of place that you expect to find in a trendy urban area. The menu has some traditional dishes and some lovely imaginative creations. From the delicious whipped light butter served with yummy warm bread, to the Creme Brûlée that melts in your mouth it is all fabulous. My table ordered 4 different entrees and we all had to taste everything. The accompanying sauces and dressing were carefully made as were the veggies and sides. My Shrimp chimmichurra was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor. These chefs take pride in their creations and it shows I'm everything they do. If you get the chowder don't miss out on dipping the bread and butter in it. Prices are slightly higher than the average in the area, but very reasonable for the quality of the food and the chefs talent. I keep Seasoning on my places to go list when I am out for lunch or dinner.

    This is a favorite destination when we come to Benton to visit family. Everything I have had has been fantastic. The chef's are obviously interested in creating a quality product and care about the food. This is the best place to find good food in Benton, if not the whole county.

    Great food. Would like a little more atmosphere. The shrimp scampi is great, and the steaks are very good. I would recommend this for anybody.

    The reviews on Seasoning were right on... Very good food, not what you expect at all in a small southern Illinois town (and I'm from this area). On par with most good restaurants elsewhere. The soup, roll, and dinner were spot on GOOD. I bet my friend she could just eat 1/4 of the dinner roll and butter it was so good. Waitress was awesome and on top of it. The space needs work and an upgrade on silverware would help immensely, but I wouldn't trade quality of food for ambiance. The owners apparently just bought the building and are remodeling so that should improve.
