“Hubby and I went to dinner at Seasons 52 on Saturday, which we haven’t been to in a long time. I forgot how much I enjoy this restaurant. We sat in the bar and had a great server named Shawn. Shawn was engaging and provided great service. I’ll definitely request him next time I visit. I wasn’t drinking that night, but hubby solo’d it with a bourbon cocktail called a Paper Plane. He said it was very tasty, especially on the hot day.
We shared the ahi tuna tartare to start. The tartare was a stack of tuna with tropical salsa and avocado. So fresh. It came with a basket of crispy lavish bread, I hope when the restaurant switches their recipe that they will continue making a seedless lavish for those who can’t do nuts or seeds.
Hubby had the wood grilled tenderloin salad for dinner. I had to get a taste of that tenderloin because it was cooked perfectly. It was so tasty and seasoned well. I had the wood grilled Idaho rainbow trout, swapping out the asparagus for carrots. The trout came with a dill mustard sauce which I nixed and just squeezed fresh lemon on the fish. The fish was moist and smoky.
Of course, we had to get the little dessert shooters to end the meal. Hubby had the Belgian chocolate s’mores, which was ridiculously decadent. I had the more conservative raspberry cannoli dessert. These tiny sweet treats are delicious mini indulgences. I love them because you want something a little sweet at the end of a meal but don’t want a huge dessert. I think they’re perfect.
I like Seasons 52 because every item on the menu has the calories listed. Their food is always very good and the service is top-notch. When I ordered the tuna appetizer, a manager came over right away and asked me about a seed allergy because they noticed I said no nuts and seeds on my reservation. They really pay attention to their customers needs. I highly recommend Seasons 52.
Ask for Shawn!“

“Stop in for the first time today and had a blast. Huge shout out to Dave the bartender, his expresso martini is easily one of the best ive had. Friendly service and great drinks. Can't wait to return!“

“Had our holiday celebration and had an extraordinary experience - great food and excellent service.“

“Amazingly delicious food and drinks! Our waiter, Colin, is the best and the added bonus is that he looks like Adam Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) on Chicago PD.“

“First the food was actually really great. The Korean ribeye was what I’ve been missing being a California native that’s used to eating Polynesian and Asian food. Pizza, Spinach dip, and the Martinis was not the best but good fruit mixes. Despite a few mix ups my sisters and I enjoyed the place. BIG ovation to the manager on duty Monday evening that listened and addressed the issue promptly. The staff are very professional and I’m looking forward to another visit soon. Great job guys!!!“

“Lamb chops were amazing and seasoned to perfection, red velvet pancakes so tasty like I was eating cake, the mojito mocktails were so good I ordered 2. It was a bit of a wait for the food to come out but we were seated quickly. Overall, it's one of my guaranteed favorite places to eat.“

“I love Standard Market's Seeded Rye Bread! It is one of the best rye breads to be found anywhere in the west suburbs. Unfortunately the last two loaves I bought are so very , very salty? I do bake bread myself (not as good as Standard Market's) I am aware of the role of salt, sugar etc. and their proportions, so why this extremely salty version ?“

“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!“

“Absolutely love Vistro! Amazing staff, delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and superb customer service. It never disappoints!“

“Went to the Chicago Waffle House in Willowbrook with friends today Had the best skillet-The Short Rib Skillet- Fantastic with Lavazza coffee not to mention great service. We’ll be back soon“

“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.“

“Our Estillos Barber Studio team has visited Amerikas Restaurant a few times now, and it’s quickly becoming one of our favorite spots in Oak Park. Great mix of good energy, great people, and a welcoming atmosphere.
What We Enjoyed
On our visits, we ordered:
* French Toast
* Latte
* Chicaliquiles
*Tortilla Soup
*New York Steak & Eggs
Everything came out consistently well prepared and satisfying, which is why we didn’t hesitate to return. And we will definitely try other things from the menu.
Shout out to Paloma, who took care of us last time we were there and to the rest of the staff with the same hospitality and welcomeming vibe.“

“This is a wonderful little restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the food is good.“

“Best Roast Chicken you'll ever have. Unbelievable“

“If you care about people and food, this is the place. Great food created and served by great people. The folks delivering this experience outperform every time and every day. You can tell ownership cares and takes great pride in excellent food and service!🤩“

“What a lovely restaurant! Great food and drink. I ordered the Chicken Avocado Shrimp and Eggs and Pineapple Paloma! They did not disappoint! My food was filled with flavor and cooked perfectly! The chicken and shrimp were a perfect combo. My drink was perfect, as well. It all worked together for a tasty combination. I will definitely be returning to this hidden gem!!“

“I loved this place! The Cinnamon Roll Waffles and the Ham and Cheese Omelette were absolutely amazing! The staff was great as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in town again.“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“Today was my 1st time there and food was really good. I had an Omelet, Pancakes and Hash with plenty to take home for later. My son enjoyed his food as well. We will definitely be back!💕“

“We had the best lunch. Our food was tasty and hot, not to mention generously delicious. No wait, great help. Open kitchen. I hope they open one further southwest.“

“The wife and I went back to the old neighborhood to visit somebody at the hospital driving around we found modern plate. We figure we’d give it a try. There is no doubt in my mind that this place eventually will be a five star restaurant. The food was phenomenal service atmosphere But I will tell you this much. Don’t go there with your good. Looks thinking you’re gonna buy something bring your cash, but it’s well worth it. The wife and I cannot wait to go back to try something else.“

“Nancy’s place is the best!!!“

“The service was quick. Food was delicious. Smoothie was fantastic! Definitely will return.“

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“

“After a nice night out for dinner with my co-worker we looked for a place to play pool and found this gem! The bartender Richard was a bit overwhelmed, after talking to him we found out it was his first night! I have to say he did a great job, very attentive, professional, and held his own. Over all the atmosphere, service, drink prices, and hospitality was by far on point. I highly recommend this spot.“

“Best service ever, Suzanne was great!
She was attentive and made sure our drinks were filled and we liked our meals. Ana, the manager, came to check on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Atmosphere was great and food was awesome!!“

“The atmosphere is nice. The food and drinks are delicious and the service was on point.“

“Good food lots of options, service should be spruced up!“

“Very good service and food!“

“Thank you for help me Dr Zabaza #psychiczabaza“

“Went here a couple of weeks ago. We played a round of miniature golf which was a blast then stuck around for dinner after. Fun spot!“

“My wife and I watched the bears vs packers game. Great atmosphere and fun time watching the game. However, BOTH bathrooms had issues and one urinal overflowed causing a mess. When the game was over and we left, we were blocked in by someone who made up a parking spot in the back of the lot. Multiple people made up spots all over the lot. When I addressed the issue with the front desk and spoke with the manager, they did nothing and said to call the police. It is not up to the customer to manage your property. I thought it was a joke of a response when a concern was raised.“

“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!“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

“i absolutely love this place. every time i go the experience is amazing… great atmosphere, great service, and always consistently good. everything we order comes out perfectly and you can tell they use really high quality ingredients. the staff is also incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the area and i’ll keep coming back.“

“For over 25 years, J. Alexander’s has remained one of our favorite dining destinations. The rustic ambience, warm lighting, and unmistakable scent of wood-fired cooking create an experience that feels both comforting and refined.

The wood-fired artichokes are simply THE BEST. Their salmon and rotating fish specials are always beautifully prepared — especially paired with the orzo and wild rice side. The shaved prime rib sandwich with jus and horseradish is absolutely sublime.

And whatever you do… save room for the carrot cake. Unbelievably delicious. A true classic that continues to deliver year after year.“

“the salad is great my fevorite is the Greek salad“

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

“Tom is the most amazing human! He was so attentive! I can’t say enough positive things about tom! Thank you! You are awesome!“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

“The name says it all! How do you convert a modest wedding into a more memorable experience? Have J. Fleming’s cater your event! John provided bar, great food, great service, at a value! Try his restaurant as well!“

“My Fraternity Brother Anthony Williams and partner Byron Diggs when not bringing great joy as a part of the Our Lady of Our Lady of Africa Parish, Chicago Eucharistic Ensemble have a great Cafe in Maywood right off of I 290. It is called Meal of the Day and has some great southern cuisine in an establishment on the 4th floor of a business complex overlooking I 290. It is appointed with some great art from notable black artists . There is also a banner from Hales Franciscan Class of 1979 , not sure what that’ s all about .. lol! They also do on site catering and have fed the masses after masses at their home church . Check them out ! My fraternity brother has been telling me for years to make the drive and wifey and I finally did and it was so worth it ! .“

“Great food exceptional service the Lobster Ravioli was filling and the sauce was insanely good, my girlfriend had the 8oz steak witch was very tender and flavorful. We also had the Stuffed Mushrooms which were great. The Moscato was also very good very fruity, the creme bru le was amazing and the fruit was very fresh. Clean environment and great dining experience.“
