The best “fish fry” that we’ve experienced thus far in downtown Elmhurst or possibly all of Chicago!!! Why do you ask? The owner / management team (Dominic Ranieri & Nicolette Ranieri) aims to please by offering the true and proper “haddock and chips”! The batter is perfectly proportionate to the size of the fillet and not greasy. Then comes one of the best old fashions we’ve had. Why? Their amazing bartender, Evey, knows exactly how we prefer them and she never disappoints. Last, but certainly not least, the service is always impeccable from our most favorite waitress, @Alisandra Mondrella! She’s prompt, professional, and always with a smile! Thank you again for the first class experience!!!

Always a great experience! Recently took four friends (table for 6) to celebrate three March birthdays. Everyone was impressed with the food and Carl (our server). The best steaks for a reasonable price. Can't say enough about Carl - he really made our visit special!

Excellent cuisine with fresh seafood as if you were in a coastal restaurant. The staff is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is sophisticated and yet not stuffy. It's not cheap, but you really do get what you pay for.

We stopped in on a Sunday for lunch. The menu had so many great items. I had the Sammy burger with coleslaw and steak fries. He had the filet trio (cooked to perfection) with double broccoli. We ordered the potatoes au gratin. It was enough for 4 people to share, and it was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back to try some more things off the menu, and we will definitely order those potatoes again!

We were seated right away. The steak and salmon were really good. The chicken milanese was slightly overcooked. The salad was initially forgotten, but it was brought out a little afterwards. At other places I've had it served on top, not on the side. The pork chop oreganato was on the dry side too. Our service was outstanding!

Inviting location with attentive staff. Prompt arrival of drink and food. Menu was solid with old favorites served with gusto. Comfortable and warm place to enjoy thoughtfully prepare Italian fare in an animated neighborhood setting.
Our wait staff was took a long time to come back to take our order after the initial check-in. The Delmonico and the New Yorker were cooked perfectly as well as our sides. We will be back.

My first visit here was overall enjoyable. The food was well prepared and presented. It was a good value. We started with a Calamari appetizer which was tasty and well prepared. You can get the calamari grilled or breaded/ fried. My steak (a Delmonico) was tasty but there was a slightly higher degree of fat/ gristle than I expected. I know this is subjective and that it's the fat that adds to the flavor, but just letting you know that if you don't want to deal with the extra work of dealing with the fat, get the filet. This is what I'll do going forward. My wife had a filet and she enjoyed it. My friend had a scallops special and he enjoyed/ devoured it. The waiter was attentive and brought us both an additional appetizer of mushrooms and spinach as well as a slice of Mud pie (to share). The pie was very tasty and a nice touch. The restaurant was very busy, we had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. There is a public parking garage a block or so south and west of the restaurant. Street parking was hit or miss when I was there. Next time I go, I'll get the scallops!

Great food, amazing service, friendly atmosphere. It is conveniently located in the downtown area of Elmhurst. Great place for a romantic dinner or a relaxing for a few Old Fashioneds at the bar after a long workday.Parking: Multiple free parking garages located nearby
Really enjoyed our evening at 100 South. The food and service hit the mark. Had a cocktail at the bar and the bartender was personable and made a nice drink. Then moved to a table for dinner and enjoyed Ceasar salad, crisp and light, Clam chowder soup, warm, hearty, delicious, Blackened chicken pasta, creamy and full of flavor, and all of the other diners in our party agreed it was a nice meal :)

We came to this restaurant last night for my parents' anniversary and made a reservation in advance. We then had to wait 30 minutes to sit down. Mind you, the servers were very sweet and kind to us. The food was amazing !!! ?? ?
