Great outdoor dining experience. Excellent food and service. I'm not a fan of the paper menus.

My wife and I had the opportunity to come out for dinner and we were blown away with every part of the experience.From the delicious home made focaccia bread, to the mouth watering filet and New York strip we had, the food was enough to make us want to come back.We were taken care of by Kayla Moussali, and she was humble, kind and extremely attentive. The manager, Christian Moussali, came by to check in, and we found out our meal was cooked by Antoine Moussali.The heart, soul and love of this family was felt through the atmosphere, service and the food.Thank you for an incredible date night with my wife, and I can assure you we will be back ?
My son and I came a few months ago to get burgers because my son had had one and said it was the best burger he’s ever had. However, the night we came, and had burgers they were over cooked and bland. The fries are good and seasoned well so we just chalked it up to a bad night. Fast forward a few months and Tonight we went back to give the burger another shot. Instead of ordering two burgers, this time just in case the burger was over cooked like last time, we only ordered one. When it came out it was overcooked, so he sent it back. when it came back out, It wasn’t exactly medium, but it was close enough. However, the burger just tasted like a boiled piece of meat and like grease it has no flavor as if it’s not been seasoned at all. For $18 it was unacceptable. This time we also ordered some fried beef wonton appetizers, for $15 it comes with 5 so $3 each. The wontons had zero taste the filling was dry beef it looked like the inside of a toasted ravioli. If it weren’t for the sauce, you couldn’t have eaten them. Lastly I had a bowl of vegetable beef soup which was nice. $50 for a bowl of soup an app that I should have sent back, and I bland burger.

Looking for a special dining experience? Look no further than Moussalli’s. From the moment you step in, you’re in for a treat. Whether you’re craving a simple burger or a fine dining experience, Moussalli’s delivers consistently delicious food that never disappoints.Their hamburgers stand out as some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Each bite showcases the top-notch quality of meat they use. But Moussalli’s isn’t just about burgers; their dinner menu, personally crafted by the chef (who also happens to be one of the owners), is a culinary delight. Each dish is a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.The staff is exceptionally friendly, and you’ll often find one of the owners making the rounds to ensure every guest feels welcome and satisfied. Prices range from $15 for a casual meal to $78 for a luxurious dining experience.While I’ve never had the chance to try their desserts (being too full from the incredible main course), I can only imagine they’re equally amazing.If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend making reservations a few days in advance to secure your spot at this culinary gem. Moussalli’s is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

Went out for a birthday and anniversary. Grace was our server and really made our first experience memorable. We enjoyed all of her recomendations. We had a 16oz Ribeye and the Bistro Cut, which was the special this evening. Steak was by far the best I've ever had. It's truly unparalleled. Many might balk at the prices at first, but if you're looking for something truly special that nails even the most minute details, Moussalli's is the place. You get what you pay for, it was worth it. Wednesdays, they feature live music, which set the ambiance just right for a dinner date. This is the best fine dining on the Illinois side of the river. We will definitely be back in the future.Parking: There are no issues with parking on the weeknights. The restraunt is cozy, and the lot fits the size just fine.

Omg. Outstanding. Some friends have been raving about it for months and so I decided to take my husband here for his 30th. He was very jealous of my prime rib. Probably the best meal I’ve ever had.
Every bit of our meal--from the bread to desserts--were top notch. I'm looking forward to going back.Dietary restrictions: My wife has a gluten allergy and they went above and beyond to make sure that her meal was enjoyable and would not hurt her.

The food at Moussallis was amazing! I had the seafood pasta and my husband had the ribeye. It was our anniversary, so they sat us by the fireplace. They brought a delicious dessert at the end of the meal. The service was good, and the ambience was very good. I would recommend Mousallis anyone, especially for special occasions. I forgot to take pictures of the food, but here is a picture of my husband and I.

It was our first time here, for my birthday. Upon arrival, we didn't know what to expect as far as the atmosphere. We expected it to be fine dining given the menu prices, but once walking in, it wasn't exactly fine dining which was okay. Our server was very nice, we sat in the room with the bar so it was quite noisy. I think we expected fine dining but had to quickly adjust our expectations, but the menu reflects fine dining so I guess it's a bit confusing. However, the French onion soup and bread was really good. I ordered the ricotta gnocchi and duck, with my first bite of duck I almost sent it back because the skin was incredibly chewy. It took every bit of 5 minutes to chew a piece. I quickly realized I should not eat the skin. Then it became better. The Mac n cheese I felt lacked an extreme amount of flavor, and was very very liquidy, for $17 that could have major adjustments. Overall wasn't a bad time, but maybe not our first choice!

Moussalli's is ridiculously good. I'll never get enough of the filet with the blue cheese port wine reduction.
