Silvercreek restaurant opened in 1990 and is located in charming downtown Urbana. Since then, we've been serving quality interpretations of classic dishes using only the freshest ingredients from local farmers, or right from our own garden. Our interior reflects the hip sensibilities of the surrounding area while also paying tribute to Urbana's storied past.

The multi-level restaurant offers the choice to host private parties and events in the glittering glass greenhouse on the lower level, or enjoy the stunning antique collections on display in the main dining room. We're the perfect locale for casual fine dining. Experience a vast array of tasteful delicacies such as fresh fish and juicy steaks, along with enticing vegetarian-friendly and gluten-free dishes.

The Warm Brussels Sprout salad was awesome !! It has to be the best salad I have eaten! Great flavors, texture, and appearance.

My wife and I had a 3 course meal for her birthday and the food was phenomenal. The shiitake potstickers were very savory, the veal osso buco was on point, and the pistachio gelato for dessert was very flavorful and nutty. Just as well, Adrian was a perfect waiter. Easily one of our favorite restaurants in the entirety of Champaign Urbana.

Dropped in here for a quick dinner before work and instantly regretted not having more time to sit and enjoy the meal. Amazing food. Lovely atmosphere even though a little heavy on the Christmas for my taste but tis the season. Planning to go back for an actually date night very soon.

Had a great experience dining with friends over the holidays. Service was very good. Everyone loved their food. I have only one recommendation-
I ordered the Risotto w/ Scallops. I love Risotto, and I love Scallops. They were both cooked perfectly! However, it was surprising to only receive two scallops. I’ve never seen a dish come with only two. It’s always a minimum of 3. I get that prices are up, but charge a couple more bucks if you have to and put 3 scallops on there.

We had another great dining experience at Silver Creek tonight. Thanks to Grace and the staff for the best ambiance, service and food. Our server Nick was attentive and fun. The scallops with mushroom risotto was perfectly cooked and delicious! A tasty German Riesling and live music made it a party.

What an experience! I loved every single aspect of this restaurant, from the moment I drove up, to the moment I left with a full satisfied belly. I had the Scallop Risotto, and my girlfriend got the Filet Mignon. We enjoyed both entrees immensely, as well as the wonderful live jazz music that was playing at a good volume right behind us. The entire restaurant is gorgeous too. It was a real experience that will be hard to replicate and ended up being one of the best anniversary gifts I have ever given my girlfriend. We are going to come again soon.

My husband and I went to Silvercreek for dinner last night and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked up, greeted by the friendliest hostess, sitting next to the creek and listening to live… music, it was the most wonderful atmosphere for our night out! Our server was excellent and attentive. Then the food was the ultimate cherry on top! My husband had the ribeye and I had the salmon Wellington and we were both amazed by the flavor both items had! Every item was packed with deliciousness! And, if you’re in need of a wonderful drink, I highly recommend the raspberry

Food was pretty good but I expected a little more from a restaurant with these prices. Went on a Wednesday evening, so maybe that's why the food wasn't as good. Atmosphere was nice and workers were friendly.

I hosted a rehearsal dinner at Silvercreek and had such a lovely experience! Trisha was great to help with the planning and menu selections and the event itself was well received by all my guests. The greenhouse was an ideal setting. The food was excellent, and the staff accommodating. Highly recommend!

This is an absolutely amazing restaurant. Perfect for a refined palate. I honestly thought I was eating at a Michelin rated establishment. The Chef is fantastic, the staff is beyond stellar. I would not sleep on this place.

Always a Great Sunday Brunch!
Best food in Champaign.
Extremely friendly staff.
Always a very clean environment.
The custom omlette bar is amazing because you can pick out anything you want and the will make it to your liking.
They will make your Belgian Waffles fresh with many selections of toppings.
They have a large greenhouse area, or outdoor seating next to the creek, some times you can see the ducks on the creek. They have a beautiful patio seating area as well.
In my opinion they have the best Sunday Brunch in the area, and the best value for the money!
They also have a fantastic
