New American Restaurants near Glen Ellyn, IL

“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.“

“The Wheat Cafe is located right next to the Waterleaf restaurant at College of DuPage. The cafe features delicious Bakery items, soups and salads, pizza, chips. All prepared on site by the students at College of DuPage.
Congrats Students and staff! I will definitely be coming back!“

“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 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.“

“Limited menu but they change on the seasons. I like that you can add a lobster tail. They vary in how good they are. The waiter was no where to be seen in between him getting our order. Had to ask others for help. I had the pork chop and you’d think you’d get potato and veggie. No. The sauce was terribly sweet so I was so glad I got it on the side. Worst old fashioned I’d ever had. The desserts are cute.“

“We ate here twice on our trip! It is a delightful place, great food, chef visits and brings food to the table, the wait staff are so lovely. It’s a perfect restaurant! Thank you (We are visiting from California)“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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“

“I visited with my family after spending some
time at the ice rink. The food was great, very flavorful . The highlight of our night was definitely our server Taminah! She has such good energy, very attentive, and overall gave great service for our first time at yard house . We will definitely be back and ask to be in her section again !“

“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 ?“

“Dave and Racheal Were Phenomenal Service, 10/10 highly recommend, the food was amazing and could definitely be defined as comfort food and the service was superior! I would recommend to anyone that hasn’t already had the pleasure. We will definitely be returning!“

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

“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.“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“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 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.“

“We have been to Kindred many times. We keep coming back because of the food and the staff. The food is always delicious. I go there thinking I will get my favorite menu item, but find that there is something new to try. I'm never disappointed. The menu has so many good choices. The presentation is nice too. The staff is so friendly; everyone greets you when you walk in. They are genuinely happy to see their patrons. This is a great place.“

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

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

“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“

“There’s an abundance of vegan options.
Pictured is the vegan Mac and cheese, which was delicious. It’s a big portion, which 2 can share. I’ve also ordered the vegan quesadilla, but it was not grilled to my desired taste because I did not ask.
It’s a calm environment.“

“For everything ,nice people“

“The food is great. Our experience was alright. Our table was not ready at our reservation time, no issue but they forgot to come get us from the bar and I had to go back and ask if our table was ready 20 minutes later. Our server was great but the wait for everything we ordered was quite long, had to be reminded that we ordered tea, he had to check on the appetizers as they were not brought to the table, then the entrees were brought while we were still working on apps. I am also not a fan of kiosks on tables at upscale resturants.“

“Porciones muy generosas con muy buen sazón. Excelente servico de las meseras.“

“Just a shout out to the BEST waitress at the Naperville location, AUTUMN! Every time we come in, we hope we get seated in her section. Autumn’s energy is awesome! She never rushes us during our friend catch up time. She is so attentive without hovering and just a great person all around! Naper location is lucky 🍀 to have her on their team! Thanks for taking good care of us everyone we come in, Autumn! 🫶💯“

“Very good service and food!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Berger bros is a regular spot for us and for many in our area! Great food done well. Casual setting. Long time professional servers - shout out to the bartender. Outdoor patio is very nice and often will have live music. We are slowly making our way through the menu- we repeat often for the tuna, chicken sandwich, smash burger, grouper. We can sub a side salad for fries the cheesecake is amazing treat and large enough to share!
If you are in the area- stop in.“

“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!“

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

“One of our top Wheaton restaurant picks!“

“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.“

“The decor is STUNNING and there are 2 tables large enough for big groups. I really loved the ambiance and decor. The menu had a lot of reasonably priced options for food as well. 4 stars because one of our old fashioneds was served with a vibrant red cherry that had a pit in it. So it wasn’t the usual luxardo cherry that I am used to having.
I also love that there is an overwalk that connects you to Santo Cielo.“

“Dined in over the weekend ; live music by the talented Jonny Lyons duo ; Great atmosphere ; our server was Arturo : fabulous service & delicious food ! The manager John was also very nice and checking to see if we needed anything. Can’t wait to return !“

“I can't complain. great service and great food“
