“nice and friendly atmosphere😁“

“Denny’s is a great go to when you don’t know what you want to eat but don’t want to cook. Our server Ricardo is always polite and kind. He makes the dinning experience easy and stress free. The one thing that I don’t like is that when you pay it does not allow me to bypass the pin causing additional fees. All in all I would give the location on lake street a 4 out of 5 stars most of the time. 😊“

“La mejor comida de todo lombard 🙂✌️“

“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!“

If you are looking for a great night out I highly recommend Al’s Cafe!“

“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.“

“I’ve eaten at Bleuroot twice when traveling through Chicago for hockey trips. Every bite has been phenomenal and there have been many “Oh you’ve got to try this” shared plates. The staff are amazing and this is a place where it’s okay to be loud and boisterous and joyful. Thanks to Maria and the crew for a great experience (and excellent customer service mailing me back a pair of prescription sunglasses I left on the table!). Looking forward to a third visit in November!“

The venue was very clean overall, and the staff truly stayed in character the entire time. They were excellent at reading the crowd and interacting in a way that made the experience even more fun and memorable.

Highly recommend for a special occasion!“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“This was my first visit to Seasons 52. I had received a multi restaurant gift card for Christmas and Seasons 52 was one of the choices.

I found the atmosphere to be very warm, inviting and elegant. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food tasted amazing!

While Seasons 52 would not fit into my regular budget under current circumstances, I most definitely would adjust my budget to celebrate special occasions at Seasons 52.“
