Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Carol Stream

Christmas day- they were slammed! We arrived early, had an additional wait due to the crowd. We met Jamie the bartender had some excellent drinks, great service- even tho she was also slammed super efficient. Got to our table and met Paul our server- who had already put in a 9 hour day (same story on Christmas Eve), who was super pleasant. He handled our table cheerfully and efficiently. Everyone was hustling in the restaurant but we were not made to feel unwelcome in ANY way. The staff was exceptional, I know how exhausted I was after our Christmas eve with the family and it was lovely to be waited on and cared for! We make a point of spending Christmas day with family at the Bloomingdale Jamesons yearly and are so GRATEFUL they are willing to share Christmas with us. The manager is to be commended- it's not 2 days it's a marathon! Bless you!

We appreciate booking in advance so we can secure the alcove table (seats 8). We have 2 hearing impaired guests. Service is outstanding & the food is great. Our steaks were grilled perfectly according to order. The owner stopped by to chat. Before we left complimentary champagne was served so we could toast my daughter's birthday & celebrate Christmas Eve. My only suggestion would be to provide complementary bread for the table which I feel should be included given the price point.

The food was phenomenal, the staff are super kind, and the environment is just great. Loved it.

The food was excellent as usual. Especially loved the broccoli soup. Our server Gwendolyn was exceptional and very attentive. My friends and I love this place! Can’t wait until we go back again.

We had never been here before. We were very happy with everything. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The waiter was friendly and efficient. We liked the way the window completely opened to the outside and we could see trees and the trains behind them. The trains were not too loud. The wooden seats were a little uncomfortable after a while. We enjoyed the ambience.
