New American Restaurants near Schiller Park, IL

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun“

“Loved everything about Yard House in Glenview! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We tried the burger, steak, nachos, and salads, and every single dish was excellent. Great atmosphere, great service, and a perfect spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Definitely coming back again!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Music was very loud in bar. Just a little lower would have made it more pleasant experience. Bar tender was excellent, but she had too many people to serve by herself, the people Sitting at the bar and all the bar tables. They should have 2 people behind bar to wait on tables and bar. It took awhile to be served. Overall really enjoyed time and great place to visit.“

“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 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.“

“Our Estillos Barber Studio team has visited Amerikas Restaurant a few times now, and it’s quickly becoming one of our favorite spots in Oak Park. Great mix of good energy, great people, and a welcoming atmosphere.
What We Enjoyed
On our visits, we ordered:
* French Toast
* Latte
* Chicaliquiles
*Tortilla Soup
*New York Steak & Eggs
Everything came out consistently well prepared and satisfying, which is why we didn’t hesitate to return. And we will definitely try other things from the menu.
Shout out to Paloma, who took care of us last time we were there and to the rest of the staff with the same hospitality and welcomeming vibe.“

“Greeted with a friendly smile by the young woman behind the counter. Brought glass bottle of water and glass to the table. Food was brought out in a few minutes. Food delicious and Carmel latte was good. The sourdough bread was delicious. Asked to one if my breakfast spots in town.“

“I loved this place! The Cinnamon Roll Waffles and the Ham and Cheese Omelette were absolutely amazing! The staff was great as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in town again.“

“Been there several times since opening during the week and this past Sunday, took our grandson which was home from college , he loved it too, invited a good friend from church will be there Wednesday. Check it out proud to say its in our neighborhood.“

“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.“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was vibrant yet comfortable, making it perfect for a night out. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and every dish exceeded expectations. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. It's clear the staff takes pride in creating a great dining experience. Whether you're stopping in for dinner, drinks, or a special occasion, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I can't wait to come 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.“

“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!“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Not a bad item on their entire menu! By far one of the best places in the Sauganash/Edgebrook neighborhood.“

“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!“

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

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

“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.“

“the ham cheese egg sandwich is very good“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and service! Thank you!“

“First time and I loved it!!!“

“We held an 80 person event here and the coordinator Caryn was detailed, communicative and so nice! The waitstaff and bartenders, the food runners, and managers all helped to run a smooth luncheon, the busboy was attentive and kind! Everyone loved the event and the food and we already want to book again!“

“When you need an good location,great food worth the cost,and down home atmosphere. You have our word that the customers come first... Be ready to check out an amazing yet simple place The five stars represent the direction the team [staff] is going in“

“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!“

“As bars go, this is pretty perfect! I didn't eat, but the place was great, the service impeccable, lovely crowd, and spooky Halloween decorations to boot. I mean, if you're easily spooked, you might not like this place. Coward. But we did, and I need an excuse to get back to Uptown. Thanks, you beauties!“

“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.“

“Great food, great service, a different game on each television“

“tasty char dogs and delicious shakes, I had the banana and my brother enjoyed his oreo“
