The Bread Company is one of my favorite restaurants, and is one of the things I miss most about U of I.  I ate here frequently as a student and as an alumna I make sure to stop in every time I return to campus.  The atmosphere of the restaurant makes me feel like I'm taken away from the stress of every day life.  They have a fireplace in the corner and white lights strung up to make it feel romantic, but it is modernized with the art that they have on the walls.  My husband and I usually share an order of cheese fondue and a gourmet pizza.  The Bread Company offers a nice selection of wine and beer, including wine by the carafe.  I can't forget to mention their selection of fresh baked cookies.  The sables and chocolate macaroons are delicious.  Great atmosphere, delicious food, and reasonable prices - I love this place!
