“Simon’s Restaurant & Bakery in Villa Park greets you with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I tried their Cream of Rice Soup, and wow—it was pure comfort in a bowl! Creamy, flavorful, and loaded with rice, it’s the perfect way to kick off your meal. For breakfast, I had the Spinach and Feta Omelette with crispy hashbrowns, and it did not disappoint. The omelette was fluffy, packed with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese, and cooked to perfection. Paired with golden, crispy hashbrowns, it was an absolute treat! Simon’s is a neighborhood gem where you can count on great food, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a pastry from their bakery, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“The food here is FANTASTIC. We ordered the stuffed banana peppers, coconut shrimp, salmon that’s on corn tamale cake (oh my goodness), seafood linguine, and lobster mac n cheese. We were both really impressed with how delicious all of the food was. Our waiter Jorge was so kind and attentive. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“After a week of travel for this Mom, the last thing I wanted to do was to make dinner. This isn't the first time we've been to Glen Prairie and I knew it was just the place I wanted to go. The atmosphere is warm, but quiet. Perfect for a good family catchup. The food is comforting without being too heavy and the wine, beer and cocktail selection is the perfect pairing. We've had the pleasure of being served by Anna a few times now and she does a great job. She is attentive and watchful, without being overbearing which is a difficult skill to master for a lot of servers. Aside from that, I love that it is a safe place for folks with food allergies and I feel very well taken care of in respect to that issue. I can tell that everyone from the hosts to the servers to the bartenders to the kitchen staff are very well trained in creating a safe and welcoming experience for each guest. Glen Prairie is quickly becoming one of our go to family favorite restaurants and we will definitely be back!“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“For everything ,nice people“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“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! 🫶💯“

“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.“

“We visited Cooper's Hawk on a Friday night with a group of four, and the ambiance was spot-on for a relaxed fine dining experience. Although I’m not typically a wine enthusiast, I was pleasantly surprised to find a refreshing German Gewurztraminer served cold, which paired well with the meal. As a vegetarian, I found the options a bit limited but decided to try the Caprese flatbread; it was decent, though not particularly memorable.

The atmosphere itself was lovely, and it’s a great spot if you're looking to unwind with friends in an inviting, upscale setting. Our only hiccup was the service—it was a bit slow, but understandable given the busy Friday evening. Overall, it’s worth a visit, especially for wine lovers, with a comfortable ambiance to unwind in“

“I've ordered here since they opened, today I attempted to order and was told they couldn't remove the onions because everything was pre-made. A) they have removed them in the past B) for the prices they charge, thought everything was fresh. Simply won't go here again, I went down the street and paid the same dollar amount for skewers where they had no issue removing the onions for me“

“Great place for brunch , Bang bang combo is good , great portions too though for the vegetable very bland the rest are great . . Very friendly staff too .“

“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.“

“Great place! Chicken nachos were amazing! Burgers are fantastic!“

“The host cashier at the door is very nice and very inviting!! I've had one waiter & two other waitresses since I've been coming there and they're all awesome!!! I do not think I've ever had one bad experience and I've been going there for a while for 3 months.. keep up the awesome work you guys are out doing there!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food, great service. Feel like I am at home in my momma's kitchen eating the best pancakes in the world.“

“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.“

“Went here for Thanksgiving brunch. The staff is so nice and the food was great. There was a T-Day menu to order from, or just off the everyday menu l. My party did both and everyone was happy“

“My burger was done incorrectly when I went through the drive thru but didn’t realize it till I went home. When I returned the manager gave me a free pint of custard for the mistake. Amazing customer service! Keep up the great work!“

“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.“
