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

“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!“

“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)“

“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!“

“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“

“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 ?“

“We dined at Topaz in August 2024 and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We were seated in a comfortable booth. A special mention goes to our server, Sasa, who was incredibly attentive and provided great suggestions. He even surprised us with complimentary limoncellos, which were absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we had the grilled octopus and hummus—both prepared to perfection and bursting with flavor. For the main course, we chose the Dover sole and Amish chicken. These dishes were exceptional and stood out as some of the best we've ever had. The potatoes served with the sole were also a delightful surprise. Portions were generous, and the prices were quite reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food. We highly recommend Topaz and will definitely be returning!“

“Went to the Chicago Waffle House in Willowbrook with friends today Had the best skillet-The Short Rib Skillet- Fantastic with Lavazza coffee not to mention great service. We’ll be back soon“

“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!“

“Loved everything about my dinner here. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. Love the variety on the menu. Staff were super friendly. Decor and atmosphere cheery and relaxed. Check it out soon - you will not regret it!“

“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.“

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

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

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“Nancy’s place is the best!!!“

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

“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.“

“Very great all around! We will be back again!“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“Very good service and food!“

“Great Service and some hot and tasty food!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! 🫶💯“

“My mom and I like to meet at wineries/ wine bars once a month that halfway for us (parents live in Crystal Lake and I live in LaSalle). Goat and Vine was an excellent restaurant with delicious food and a variety of top notch wines! On top of that, our server made our first time experience that much better; I highly recommend!!“

“Staff very friendly. Went for dinner on a Friday night around 6:15. There was a 35 minute wait. Worth the wait. Food was most delicious. I hade the wedge salad. The lettuce was crispy but not at all bitter. The dressing was not overpowering - all the right ratios. The cheesecake - simply mmmmmm! Definitely recommend.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Food was good. Bkfst buffet at hotel. Variety of cereals, oatmeal, build your own omelets, pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs 🥚, coffee, juice, i had pancakes 🥞 😋
Bread for toast, apple, cream cheese, and raspberry pastries.“

“Attended a Wedding here. I had a lot of fun with my family and friends.They served either Steak or Chicken dinners I had the steak and it was very good. Also served some nice appetizers that were also very good Big room smallish dance floor but All in All a very good time was had by everyone.“

“For everything ,nice people“

“We held a large wedding shower for my daughter and her fiance last weekend and everything went smoothly, it was a delightful experience. The room was ready when we arrived for setup, the staff members were professional and communicated well. Kristen and her team responded to our questions and clarified the details of the event with me, they accommodated a couple of last minute small requests and changes, plus the food was delicious. I was able to relax and enjoy the celebration because I knew the details were in the hands of professionals. I highly recommend Arrowhead for your next event.“

“One of our top Wheaton restaurant picks!“

“Proof No. 5 in Wheaton offers a truly unique dining experience with its inventive dishes and vibrant, sophisticated atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for a culinary adventure right in downtown Wheaton.
​The menu is a fantastic blend of global influences, and we started our meal with a showstopper: the Flaming Bourbon Cheese Dip. This theatrical appetizer was rich, smoky, and absolutely delicious. Next, the Chicken Shawarma Skewers were a revelation. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender, served with a zesty tahini yogurt sauce that was a great complement.

​For our main courses, the Lobster Pasta was a standout, featuring large chunks of succulent lobster in a flavorful sauce that coated every bite. We also enjoyed the Vegetarian Bibimbap, a beautiful and savory bowl packed with fresh vegetables, a perfectly cooked egg, and a spicy kick from the gochujang. We couldn't leave without trying the Chili Crisp Fries, a unique side that was crispy, spicy, and addictively good.

​Proof No. 5 manages to blend different cuisines in a way that feels both daring and delicious. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted, making for a memorable meal.“

“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.“

“I don’t know the gentleman’s amen who was at the front door but his personality is what brought me in as I was just walking by. I wasn’t disappointed. Tania, who served me is the best!! Super attentive! She reads the room (patio) and everyone’s body language perfectly. I just had drinks but I will definitely return to try the food! And the patio is awesome.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This spot is easily one of the best hotel bars around! The atmosphere is fantastic, but the real highlight was our bartender, Kelly. She was incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.
Highly recommended for a great drink and even better service“

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

“I always liked this place but when we went there for dinner on NYE I was blown away by the atmosphere and the food! We started with the queso dip which was amazing. My partner had the prime rib which is melt in your mouth delicious and I got the seared Ahi Tuma. I will totally go back and get the Tuna again, it was so good I don’t really have words to describe it. It is a bit pricey but the bill is totally justified due to the quality of their food and the atmosphere. So if you go there you have to get the queso dip appetizer and the Ahi tuna. You will not be disappointed“
