Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Palos Park

Pella Signature in Burr Ridge, IL, delivers an outstanding dining experience with a diverse menu, including a well-crafted kids’ selection. The service was attentive, and the owner personally showed the restaurant’s halal certification, ensuring transparency and comfort. The seating was elegant, creating the ambiance of a high-end downtown Chicago restaurant in the suburbs. The Wagyu short rib entrée was excellent—perfectly tender and full of flavor. Pella Signature is a top choice for fine dining with excellent service and cuisine.

We went for our family and friends Thanksgiving dinner. There was a special Thanksgiving meal although they normally only serve Italian food. It was delicious and a generous portion. There’s a good wine and cocktail selection. The service was excellent. It was also Mom’s birthday and they made her feel special.

This was our first visit. We arrived early for our reservation time, but we were offered a table that was prepared for our group of 8. The service was wonderful, all of the food was superb. The desert selections were divine and were absolutely amazing. We will be back soon!

Due to a glut of options, there are few places in Chicago that spark the “when are we coming back?” conversation before the main course is finished. This is one of those places. The dishes were comfortable yet complex, making you realize, there’s a talent-level in the kitchen that makes them impossible to replicate. Each bite from first course through dessert was exceptional, which is a feat considering we were last seating on a Tuesday night. What made the experience was the service. Lauren S. was welcoming and informative without being pushy. She deftly answered all of our questions that felt like she was guiding us through the menu based on her expertise not her opinion. This included steering us away from certain dishes when she understood our flavor profiles, and explaining things without ruining the surprise. Her attention to little things without feeling crowded made us realize what front of house talent does to heighten the experience. The only knock was the nitty-picky things on the space. The bathroom was a bit disheveled, there was a crud on the handle of a fork (nothing on the tongs, I checked before using it). Extremely minor unless you’re judging for Micheline stars. Simply put, where it matters everything is well thought out from concept to execution. If you can get in, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

We loved our dinner at Aba!! Everything we ordered came out hot and absolutely delicious!! I 100% recommend Aba for an elegant and amazing experience!
