The staff is friendly… and they all get along really well! I love the location, atmosphere and so much more! It’s our favorite restaurant!!!!! Hands down.“

“We dined at Topaz in August 2024 and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We were seated in a comfortable booth. A special mention goes to our server, Sasa, who was incredibly attentive and provided great suggestions. He even surprised us with complimentary limoncellos, which were absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we had the grilled octopus and hummus—both prepared to perfection and bursting with flavor. For the main course, we chose the Dover sole and Amish chicken. These dishes were exceptional and stood out as some of the best we've ever had. The potatoes served with the sole were also a delightful surprise. Portions were generous, and the prices were quite reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food. We highly recommend Topaz and will definitely be returning!“

“The best cheeseburgers ever!“

“Although I hear they have good smashburgers had a taste for wings. It's rare to find places that will give you the whole wing. Only downside, I wish they were a little bigger and on the online menu it pictured it came with coleslaw. It did come with fries that were nice and crispy. Overall, the meal was good and hot by the time I made it back home.“

“The food here is FANTASTIC. We ordered the stuffed banana peppers, coconut shrimp, salmon that’s on corn tamale cake (oh my goodness), seafood linguine, and lobster mac n cheese. We were both really impressed with how delicious all of the food was. Our waiter Jorge was so kind and attentive. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended.“

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“Simon’s Restaurant & Bakery in Villa Park greets you with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I tried their Cream of Rice Soup, and wow—it was pure comfort in a bowl! Creamy, flavorful, and loaded with rice, it’s the perfect way to kick off your meal. For breakfast, I had the Spinach and Feta Omelette with crispy hashbrowns, and it did not disappoint. The omelette was fluffy, packed with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese, and cooked to perfection. Paired with golden, crispy hashbrowns, it was an absolute treat! Simon’s is a neighborhood gem where you can count on great food, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a pastry from their bakery, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Really nice place for real good food. My family and I stopped in after a trip into town for an escape room. We had the foghorn chicken sandwich, burger, mashed pot and gravy, tenders, nuggets, and fries. The burger and mashed we're recommended by staff and were terrific.
Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Recommend if you're looking for awesome food at a great price too.“

“I've been a regular at the Country House for years now, and I have to say, their burgers are my absolute favorite! They're simply delicious. And you can't go wrong with their onion rings either. I also really enjoy having the roasted veggies as a side dish instead of fries, especially when the weather is nice. And of course, the cheese curd appetizer is always a great option.“

I definitely would return and would recommend it to friends.“

The whole wait staff was very attentive and went above and beyond to get me what I needed. And the food, WOW WOW WOW! Flavors and freshness were just mind blowing. Price was very reasonable. Thank you for the amazing hospitality you guys! This is a must checkout!“

“I just recently started going there since last year. No negative reviews here. Every single experience has been great alongside with the food. When it’s your birthday, the staff sings to you. You pay what you get and it’s worth every penny. Keep up the great work Alexander’s!! As busy as it gets: even when people are standing room only: it goes by quickly and the staff greets you with their kindness and smiles.“

“Visiting from out of state and was googling places nearby that we could eat after we landed, and stumbled upon this place. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and unique, and our server was incredible. The music swaps between 80's, 2000's, all sorts of genres, which was greatly appreciated. Almost wished I lived here just so I could make this spot a regular of mine!“

“Crowded bar but loved the atmosphere, wine samples and dinner. Great birthday.“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

“I was robbed there by the wait staff on my wedding night. the evidence is in, the idiot deposited the checks in his own account and it traced back to this place. it's a disgrace and a curse that will not go away. How many of you out there have been robbed and don't even know yet ? how many of my attendees need to review this place? thousands of dollars stolen !“

“Muy rico y excelente servicio“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I came before they were closing and he took care of me , I absolutely love JJ Fish & Chicken! Every time I go, I order the chicken tenders, and they are always fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The customer service is excellent—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and quick to help. It’s hard to find a spot that consistently delivers great food and service, but JJ Fish & Chicken nails it every time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and a great experience!“
