Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Rosemont

Diego was a rock star. He was very knowledgeable and such a kind person. After being open all these years Boka Restaurant continues to push boundaries and make spectacular out of this world food with local and whole earthly ingredients.

I probably won’t be returning because I have celiac disease and they don’t have a dedicated gluten-free fryer like a lot of other restaurants too. This made it difficult for me to share place with people! Our service was amazing though. Nick is such a great waiter! He was amazing with my allergy and he went above and beyond with service. Thank you, Nick! 

My second time here, made to feel even more special than the first. The wait staff was, knowledgeable, prompt, attentive, professional and friendly. When asked for a suggestion, the selections were spot on. When asked for a personal opinion, they made answered insightfully with the customer in mind. And I can not speak enough of the GM Anna, who delightfully visited our table multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. The vibrant flavors compliment the subtly jubilant atmosphere and its five star staff. Good music, not so loud to drown out a conversation, yet not so quiet to uncomfortably hear the next table over. The lighting is easy on the eyes, but not too dark. And the creative cocktails are made with precision and care. Everything about this place exemplifies the joys of dining out. It is now my go-to restaurant to bring friends, dates, business dinners, etc. I cant wait to return.

We had an amazing meal last evening at Elske! We chose the “Set Menu” option to get a sampling of all the different options and we were not disappointed. Each course was unique and delicious and, although small plates, we were pleasantly full at the end of the meal. The ambiance was cozy and buzzy without being too loud. The service was kind, prompt and knowledgeable. They let me try a couple of red wines to have with my beef course! Overall, the experience was awesome and well worth the trek into the city!! Highly recommended!!!

every time we eat at girl and the goat, i fall in love all over again. the food is creative and always delicious. the ambiance feels so cozy and casual, intimate, and like a warm hug. i love that i celebrated my 40th birthday here at the king’s table and then, 10 years later visited for my 50th birthday and tho we sat at a different table, had a repeat visit from the same server - GARY!!! definitely try the steak in citrus dressing, the pork belly in crabmeat sauce, and always the pig face. always always the pig face. and the crumpets in the pate order. my GOSH so good
