Creative Signature Cuisine — Restaurant in Silvis

I recently had one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've encountered in the Quad Cities, particularly when it comes to restaurants. Our waitress seemed completely disengaged and inattentive, which set the tone for the entire meal. When we mentioned it was our first visit, she simply stared blankly at us and failed to offer any recommendations or engage in conversation.

For my meal, I chose the Salmon Toast, while my wife opted for the Mexican Skillet. Let's start with the positives: the food quality itself was impressive, boasting fresh ingredients that truly deserve a solid 10/10 rating. However, that's where my praise ends.

The Salmon Toast was particularly advertised to feature cream cheese; instead, what arrived was an unsettling concoction that resembled a cross between whipped strawberry cream cheese and whipped cream. The level of sweetness was overwhelming, completely overshadowing the delicate flavor of the salmon. This odd pairing not only distracted from the dish's intended taste but also rendered the salmon nearly unrecognizable.

Furthermore, the sweet onions promised in the description instead tasted oddly like cranberries, which heightened my disappointment. The sourdough bread, intended to provide a crispy foundation, was over-toasted to the point of being crunchy rather than chewy, detracting from the overall experience. Lastly, the salmon, labeled as house-cured, bore a striking resemblance in taste to Jewel Brand smoked salmon—bland and virtually flavorless, failing to contribute anything significant to what should have been a signature dish.

Overall, while the ingredients were fresh, the execution and combination of flavors left much to be desired, making this visit far from enjoyable.This odd pairing not only distracted from the dish's intended taste but also rendered the salmon nearly unrecognizable.

I had the most incredible breakfast at Creative Signature Cuisine LLC in East Moline, IL, and I can’t stop raving about it! From the moment I walked into this charming spot at 213 12th Ave, I was greeted warmly by the hostess, Araceli, who set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was exceptional—our waitress, Anayeli, was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home throughout our meal.

The menu is a delightful mix of classic breakfast favorites with a creative twist, and I couldn’t resist trying a few items. I ordered the Croque Madame Sandwich, Peach Toast, and Creative Pancakes, and every single dish was an absolute masterpiece. The Croque Madame Sandwich ($15.00) was a perfect balance of savory and rich, with a perfectly cooked egg on top that added a luscious touch to the ham and cheese. The Peach Toast ($14.00) was a revelation—fresh, juicy peaches paired with a creamy base on perfectly toasted bread, making every bite a burst of summer sweetness. And the Creative Pancakes ($14.00)? They lived up to their name! Fluffy, flavorful, and topped with just the right amount of sweetness, they were some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had.

I also noticed they had a great selection of drinks on the menu. My dining companion enjoyed a Latte with Flavor ($5.00 each) and a Cappuccino ($4.00 each), both of which were beautifully crafted and paired perfectly with our meal. The total came to $66.00 (including tax), and I paid with AMEX—super convenient!

What really stood out to me was the attention to detail in every dish. You can tell the team at Creative Signature Cuisine puts a lot of love and creativity into their food, and it truly elevates the dining experience. The portions were generous, the presentation was lovely, and the flavors were out of this world. My breakfast on March 21, 2025, at 12:32 PM (Order #2018) was nothing short of perfection, thanks in large part to the wonderful service from Araceli and Anayeli.

If you’re in East Moline, this is a must-visit spot for breakfast or brunch. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu—thank you, Creative Signature Cuisine, for an...

Creative Signature Cuisine is a fresh and exciting addition to the Illinois side of the Quad Cities—definitely worth checking out if you’re craving something different from the usual.

Let’s talk vibe: the atmosphere is a little… peculiar. It’s super quiet, and you'll probably hear every conversation coming from the table next to you. And the tables? They’re like fancy folding tables—look nice, feel slightly like they might tip if you lean too far in. It’s a unique setup, but hey, we’re here for the food.

And the food delivers. I’ve tried the margaritas and piña coladas—both great, balanced, and not too sweet. But the real MVP? The burnt salmon. I’ve had it every time and it never misses. It’s smoky, flavorful, and feels like a healthy choice that doesn’t skimp on taste. Plus, it comes served under a glass lid of smoke they lift at the table, giving you a little tableside show with your entrée.

The menu is on the smaller side, but the options they do offer are strong and well-executed. Quality over quantity, and it shows.

I can’t wait to come back and try their breakfast, and I’m especially excited about the bakery expansion happening right next door. Sounds like Creative Signature Cuisine is just getting started—and I’m...
