“We hosted a party at The Lewis last night and were so impressed by how seamless and easy the entire planning process was. The staff communicated clearly every step of the way, which made everything stress-free. Dominic was our server for the evening, and he was absolutely wonderful—attentive, on top of drinks and water, and he brought such a great personality to the night. He played a big part in making the event run so smoothly. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend hosting your next party here!“

“RHouse is the place to be, Tyler is always on point and attentive to all of his customers and staff. Great place to be 🙏🏻“

“Fun atmosphere and yummy tiki drinks!“

“Couldn’t have picked a better day or place to spend the afternoon. I sat out on the patio with the sun out and blue skies, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish.

Kam was my server and absolutely deserves some recognition. He was balancing the bar along with the outside tables, but you would never have known how much he had going on. He was attentive, personable, easy to talk to, and made the experience feel genuinely welcoming rather than rushed.

I asked for recommendations on both food and beer, and he nailed them. I went with the spicy chicken sandwich, which came out perfectly and was absolutely delicious. Kam also took the time to suggest several different beers based on what I was looking for. I enjoyed everything I tried and ultimately found myself really liking their light beer option.

What stood out most was the overall hospitality. Great food and beer will get you through the door, but having someone like Kam taking care of you is what makes you want to come back. We had some great conversation throughout my visit, and he was friendly and engaging while still keeping up with everyone else he was serving.

Beautiful patio, great beer, excellent food, and even better service. Kam is a fantastic representative of the brewery and definitely added to the experience. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“Great tacos!!! Delicious food!“

“The Alchemist is quite simply fantastic. I can’t think of anyplace where you can get better seafood. So many cocktail bars offer drinks with great names but with no pizzazz when it come to the taste. All of The Alchemist’s cocktails have pizzazz, and if you don’t see something you want, have the bartender mix something up for you on the spot!“

“My bookclub has met here a handful of times. My sister and I have been here a handful of times. This is the exact place we need in Warrenville & Mo is the best!! The atmosphere is perfect, seating is super comfy. I can hunker in here all evening.“

“We had a wonderful lunch and our server, Mia was just as friendly as could be! Absolutely loved everything about this place! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon! :)“

“Being a celiac person, I love that they have options for me and I feel safe ordering, knowing they take care in preparing the meal. The food is very tasty, I love that I can get cheese curds.“

“This was my wife’s and my first experience dining at The GOAT. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dinners and we definitely are coming back. Hannah, our server/bartender was great!“

“Great food & customer service...!!!“

“Went to Black Pepper Lounge for the first time last night. I got to eat Kerala food that I haven't had since we visited my family in Kerala 13 years ago and it was delicious! I loved getting a chance to share this with my friends and family. We'll definitely be back!“

“Fantastic food, service, atmosphere. Feels a bit like actually being there🇮🇹.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere!“

“Walrus Room is a solid five star restaurant. Table service is fantastic. Our server knew the menu inside and out, provided useful recommendations and was very attentive without being pesty. Starting with the appetizers four of us had Shrimp DeJohgne, the Burrata, Curds and Chorizo Mussels. All very very good. From their extensive lists the ladies had wine and I had bourbon. For dinner we ordered the walleye on rice, Amish roast chicken and the prime steak frites. All really good although maybe the entrees were a bit salty. We ordered too much food and drink so the nearly five hundred dollar bill was our fault. Great service, fantastic atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.“

“The Marini Room has excellent bartenders—knowledgeable, attentive, and truly skilled. I had been craving the Ferrero Rocher martini for a week, even though it was no longer on the menu, and they still recreated it perfectly. Thank you—you made my day!“

“Delicious food and fast service! 5 stars!“
