New American Restaurants near Glen Ellyn, IL

“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!“

“We love Five O Four. Their brunch is served from 8 AM until 3 PM and they do a fantastic job. The food quality is excellent. Our favorite meal is breakfast and they do it so well. We have yet to eat here for dinner, but the menu looks great. They’re open evenings from 5 to 8 or 10 weekends.“

“We were very disappointed with our "Student Run" dinner at Waterleaf. In the past the students who prepared the meals presented and explained their course while it was being served. There was no mention or description of any course at all. The wine pairings were read from a script. The chef instructor came out to thank the diners but did not once mention any of the students who cooked, served and poured wine. Waterleaf is not Student Run anymore, it is Instructor Run.“

“There are two dining areas in the CHC. Both of the previous reviews concern the Waterleaf--a more formal dining area. This review is about the quick-serve facility--Wheat Cafe. Like the Waterleaf this is a student-run/chef supervised operation. Cheap eats! Beautiful food! During my visit, I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Jalapeno-spiked Slaw and skinny skinny crispy crispy french fries. Wow! $5! One of my friends had the Texas Breakfast Wrap--$3. Another good value, but not as well presented as my sandwich. Another friend had the caramel chocolate tart--it was all I could do to not push her aside and eat it all by myself. Only $3! You order at a counter where you receive your beverage and then go into a small dining room, which was clean and bright. Since food is being cooked to order there is a small, but easy, wait. The wait person was a little over-zealous about plate pick-up, but it was opening day and we were one of the first customers. Limited days (Tues and Wed), Limited hours (10:30 am-1:00 pm) Check the website for menu details.“

“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.“

“Great place for a beer or lunch. Terrific staff.“

“Everyone and everything was wonderful. They don’t rush you. Ask you how you want it served … the order. We’re a share a lot of small plates to start then sometimes share parts of the different main dishes and they were totally accommodating. The food delicious“

“Love the drinks & food! Very cozy & classic!“

“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!!!“

“We entered the restaurant around 5pm and the tables were empty except for a couple people at the bar. We were asked if we would be done eating before 7 because they had reservations pending. The bartender made an excellent drink for us. The farm to table concept was the lure to come in but the food was okay. I tried to ask for salt and pepper but my server didn't return. We asked for hot pepper sauce but it never made it to the table. It wouldn't be my first for dinner but drinks definitely.“

“it was amazing I highly recommend it I would love to go back there especially Dareale she was a amazing waitress I love to go back there and her friends are amazing as well“

“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.“

“Also a weird waitress that overserved. kept asking if we needed anything literally every 2-3 minutes. Great menu. Not the cleanest place. run down and dirty“

“Great Linz steaks! Head chef and wait staff were outstanding! Great time had by all!!“

“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 ?“

“Our server, Jodi, was fantastic. Service was prompt, never rushed and professional. The meal was great. Noise level was best I've experienced at any other restaurant I've been to in a very long time. Conversation was easy and never had to be loud.“

“Cute restaurant with unique and traditional food options along with a great location. My “BLT” could’ve used some more flavor with a different or more sauce, but overall I enjoyed it and the rest of the food (lumpia, french toast). Price was a little steep, especially for brunch menu, but not crazy expensive. Very friendly and inviting staff.“

“Outstanding food. Phenomenal service. Adelle's is my go to!“

“The In home Brew on selection is awesome! The food is absolutely amazing. The energy and vibe is extremely chill. Pet friendly, dogs are welcome.. And a very friendly environment. I would most definitely recommend this location to others.“

“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“

“My first time at the Modern Plate today. I was blown away by the beautiful dining and club room. The food is absolutely amazing and filling. The owner Ted is a very passionate man about his restaraunt, and I admire that. It absolutely shows that there is concern and care that goes into every corner of the Modern Plate. Now, I was here for an event in the club room, but rest assured, I WILL be coming here for just the dining experience and the food. I live about 50min away, but it is...THAT good. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful dinner and a night on the town.“

“Best authentic Chicago breakfast spot around! Consistently high quality food for longer than l've been alive. You feel like you're eating at home when you eat here.“

“For everything ,nice people“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“If you don’t know yet, Lombard has got it going on! And GL105 is an outstanding example of this quaint suburb. Expect high quality and comfortable casual dining; perfect place to meet up with friends.

The bartender knows how to mix and they have great taste in wines. Their creative menu will please a variety of tastes with tender smoked meats, tasty Asian dishes and other savory feasts. We hit up the short rib stroganoff, chicken fried rice bowl and pressed short ribs. Every bite was delicious (maybe the mashed potatoes weren’t quite at the same level.)

Hosts were a little stiff but the rest of the staff was very committed to making sure we had a great time and we did!“

“Came here with my brother and his girlfriend to see the UFC Fights yesterday.

Sebastian’s definitely is a good place to watch live sports!

We were seated immediately and were given menus so we could order drinks and food.

Customer service was fast and friendly.

Sebastians has a sports bar ambiance with many screens so your entire crew can enjoy.

Food was good! Especially the chicken wings which are packed with sauce and flavor in every bite!“

“Delicious food and great wine. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend“

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

“On August 16, 2024 my dear friend Eberta Wright celebrated her 103 birthday. We celebrated it at The Lazy Dog Restaurant in the Highlands were we used to go for lunch every Sunday after church. Our waiter was always Carlos. One Sunday he told me to let him know when she was to celebrate her next birthday because he wanted to do something special for her. I called him and told him it was here so he talked to his manager and WOW!!!!! Kyla, Alexa, Andrea and Carlos put together a spectacular birthday celebration. Mrs. Wright and I both were so surprised and delighted with what they did. The decorations, the gorgeous flowers the cupcakes that Kyla made and decorated to spell out her birth year. Everything was just wonderful. Carlos came in on his day off and got to have lunch with us. He is a very special young man. In fact everyone there is very special. The Lazy Dog will always be my number one restaurant not just because of the good food but because they are a group of very special people.“

“Very good service and food!“

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

“The restaurant is beautiful and inviting. The food was incredible. However, this is not the place to get a quick meal. The drinks take forever if you are at a table, and nobody working there moves quickly. Dinner took about an hour and a half.“

“Very great all around! We will be back again!“

“I would give this place 100 stars if able! I had to plan a rehearsal luncheon for my son's wedding in Joliet in mid May with only 2 months notice. Since we live in North Carolina, I had to do all the research online. Thank heaven I came across SixtyFour Reserve Room in a Google search. The manager, Andrew, contacted me right away and was so helpful in making suggestions for our event. Cheryl, the events manager, took over in finalizing all the arrangements. There are so many different options for appetizers, meal combinations, wine, cocktails and beer! Our guests were able to choose their favorites ahead of time. When we arrived on the day of the event, we were so delighted by the venue! Everything I had requested was in place, and Cheryl and our amazing server/bartender, Alex, immediately greeted us and made everyone feel welcome. The appetizers and meals were served efficiently and right on the timeline I had planned. The food was incredibly delicious with a pleasing presentation. Our guests had so much fun with the Wine Stations, and the whiskey lovers appreciated the variety of choices. Everyone raved about how much they enjoyed the food, drink and ambiance. Best of all, I was able to relax and enjoy our guests since all the work was done by Andrew, Cheryl, Alex and the kitchen staff. The cost was very reasonable, especially so close to Chicago. Highly recommended!“

“This place has the best food. the steak and shrimp fajitas are delicious. the wings are huge. the drinks are yummy. the staff is amazing and the slot machines are pretty good also :) pool tables and darts are there as well.“

“Madison’s always exceeds my expectations! The wait staff are attentive and friendly. The latest server that we had named Colleen was great! The Mile high meatloaf, Fish tacos and the Walleye are just a few items that I recommend! I’ve been here many times and I will return many times!“

“Stopped in last night wanting to try something different in the area. Kindred has made a lasting impression! The food was not just good, It was excellent!! The staff was friendly, and the pub's vibe was laid back and inviting. They have a good selection of beer on tap and an impressive bourbon selection as well.“

“THE best breakfast place in the area. Wonderful staff and delicious food.“

“I’ve been coming to this bar/restaurant for years and never had a bad experience. I hosted my birthday party this past weekend and our server Deanna was the absolute best! She was attentive, efficient, and friendly. She accommodated a party of 15 and made it look easy. We never had to look for her because she was constantly making her rounds and checking on us. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and it made my birthday one to remember. We will definitely be back!“

“the rice balls kale broccoli salad the wings. the strawberry slushie. gosh darn the place was immaculate“

“My husband and I love Perry’s Steakhouse! The steaks are the best, Cesar’s Salad, calamari, and cheesecake is phenomenal! So tasty and our favorite waiter is Edward, what great personality! We always regret not having him be our waiter. He helps create the perfect ambiance there, which is a very romantic, relaxing experience for my Husband and I - Top notch!“

“Stopped in for our anniversary. Atmosphere and staff were great. What I expected. Started with the crab cake, leak soup wedge salad, and Brussel sprouts . The crab cake was the best we’ve had. Soup was good. Wedge salad was just a typical wedge salads. Nothing special. Brussels were excellent.

Entres. Wife had the lobster roll and I had the seafood risotto. Lobster roll had great flavor, but lacked lobster. Lots of roll and little lobster. The seafood risotto consisted of two scallops, 3 large shrimp, and a lobster tail. Scallops were top notch, shrimp was a little bland, and lobster tail was way over cooked. It was actually difficult to cut.

Sticky toffee pudding for dessert.

Overall, mixed reviews on the food. We will be back for apps and drinks.“

“I ordered the Fungi burger, and it was easily the best burger I've had in Illinois. Our server, Paige, was amazing, and the food was insanely quick, only took 5 minutes for the burger and fries that came with it. The patty was incredible, not at all dry. The atnosphere is great, awesome decorations, and they have an outdoor seating area.“

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

“Clean establishment, good food can't ask for anything more!!! Quick and great service“

“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!“

“Just stopped in for an Irish coffee. Taste tested my husband's Bloody Mary. Oh my! The mix that Emily put together this morning was amazing. The best! We usually stop in for breakfast on the weekends and always have a great meal.“
