New American Restaurants near Elmhurst, IL

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“One unfortunate day at work, I realized that I had left my lunch at home. I came across this place on UberEats and decided to give it a try. This is now one of my go-to restaurants! I always get a BYO bowl and their portion size never disappoints. Super yummy and very filling—it’ll make you think twice about bringing another lunch from home again!“

“We had a wonderful time at Seasons 52 today, celebrating a family event. In spite of this being an almost last minute reservation, we got a great table (thank you to the super nice hostess, who made sure we get it), and enjoyed the food and the service from Mark. We will be back 🙂“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“My flight got canceled so it was the end of a long day when I finally made it to the Hilton Garden Inn, but the service at the hotel was great and the Cobb salad at the restaurant tasted like I had just picked everything fresh from the garden. Definitely stay here again!“

“We received magnificent 5 star service from Van-Lang Foods! Our delicious appetizers & decadent desserts were a huge hit at our Customer Appreciation Party! Vanessa from Van-Lang Foods made our appetizer and dessert tables so festive and fun! Thank you!“

“We held a beautiful rehearsal dinner in the Mirage restaurant/bar. Service and food were fantastic, and the staff was more than helpful. Thank you so very much!!!“

“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 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.“

“Ellyns has awesome food and a very friendly environment. Never had something I didn’t like, and can always find something new on the menu. Great drink menu and specials. Ellyns will always be a go to!“

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

“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!!“

“Fantastic elevated food in a contemporary sunlit space with a water view. Well worth the drive for us. I started with the butternut squash and apple soup and a arugula salad with baked goat cheese, and my husband chose the creamy cauliflower soup and mixed green salad with currants and blueberries. The soups were both rich and flavorful. The salads were delayed in coming (perhaps because they had run out of arugula as my salad contained another leaf lettuce) but both salads were very good. The bread on the table was baked in house, also very good. We both had the hangar steak with whipped potatoes and sauteed spinach. Excelkent! We weren't asked how we wanted the steaks done but they arrived as we prefer them, medium with a warm pink center, with a charred crust and a slightly smoky flavor as if wood grilled. Perfect! A brownie sundae completed our meal. 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.“

“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!💕“

“Don’t order the short rib mini sandwiches! They were 90 percent fat. When I informed the waitress she indicated that there is always fat on those sandwiches. My sandwich was mostly grizzle and fat. My friend had the same thing but hers at least had some meat.“

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

“Wow, this place is AMAZING? Great service, hopping atmosphere, and every single one of our dishes were delicious. We will be making this establishment a regular breakfast place during our Chicago visits! Food ordered was: Breakfast burrito Croissant Sandwich Buttermilk pancakes with a side of crispy bacon!“

“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.“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

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

“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!“

“Very good service and food!“

“Thank you for help me Dr Zabaza #psychiczabaza“

“Was driving past and saw a Jamaican flag in the window so I turned around. Thank God I did the food is so good ya'll I had the lamb, spinach and mashed potatoes. I'm still outside the restaurant in my car posting this cause the food is gone already!! An amazing Shout out to the owner miss tanya and her staff a wealth of knowledge a true blessing. Also thank you to Mario from Goebbarts farms for serenading me with live music while I waited!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“After a long day of travel, we were welcomed by Sid our amazing server! He made delicious suggestions and made sure we enjoyed them. Amazing service!“

“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.“

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

“Wish I could give more than five stars, had the ribs and chicken my wife had the shrimp. We also had french Onion Soup. Everything was first rate the entire staff was first rate you can't go wrong eating at the restaurant. ps the cocktail were well made that was a extra plus, first there but we will back.“

“Easily the healthiest food options in terminal 5, especially if you’re eating a high protein diet. Had the black bean bowl, which was fresh, tasty and filling. And a great deal for airport food at $12. The woman that took my order was super nice, and the food came fast. Will definitely be my go to in T5 from now on.“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

“First time and I loved it!!!“

“Fantastic food and service! Thank you!“

“We had an event at Nobel House on a Sunday afternoon. The staff was great and the food was out of this world. We had about 40 people and many told me how much they liked the food , atmosphere and service. Thanks to everyone there for making it great.“

“nice people and good food.“

“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!“

“the owner is amazing! my first time ordering here, I thought i placed the order for delivery, instead it was for pickup. I called and the owner answered, I explained i didn't have a car at the moment and he personally delivered the order himself. I tried to give him a tip and he refused. the food was great and still hot by the time we received it. we will definitely be ordering again! thank you so much!“

“Food, service & atmosphere has always been amazing here. Its a favorite lunch or dinner spot for our entire family!“

“Food was good here. Large vegan menu and gluten free as well. Service was a little slow, and there's not much atmosphere. It's a sports bar with TVs on every wall, except in the bathroom. I would go back for another meal, but not when it's so crowded you can't hear what the person next to you it's saying.“
