Located just west of downtown Naperville, Mesón Sabika has been serving the community since 1990. Built in 1847, the pristine four-acre estate and beautiful mansion welcome you before you reach the driveway. Whether you dine in one of the mansion’s eight dining rooms decorated in traditional Spanish décor, attend a wedding or corporate event in the pavilion, or sit out back on the patio, the cuisine of Spain and delicious drinks make for an unparalleled dining experience. For a quiet, romantic dining experience we recommend a week night reservation. The small mansion rooms fill up on the weekends, making for a more lively dining experience. Our dress code is "proper casual/casual dressy." Gentlemen, we respectfully ask that you cover up your arms (no tank tops). And ladies, we ask that the majority of your midriff is covered (no bandeaux’s). We ask that everyone remove their baseball hats when dining inside the mansion. Thank you!

    We took our family with elementary school-aged children for dinner after watching Frozen at the Paramount Theater. We had a great table near the holiday tree and our server was extremely pleasant and prompt for the number of guests at dinner. The food options were varied and really tasty - and the kids devoured the mac & cheese and pasta with red sauce. I ordered the Fall Salad, which was delicious.

    Overall, the best restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Chicago. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main courses felt a little short, but still we’re good . And I did notice that they forgot to give us our onion soup and sparkling water we ordered

    I had the cod and Greek rice. It was phenomenal! One of the best cod dishes I've ever had (and I get cod and whitefish often). My husband had the lamb lollipops and he also thought they were the best he's ever had. We had saganaki as an app (delicious) and the French press coffee and baklava for desert. I loved that the baklava was served in 4 thin sliced rounds vs a big square. And French press coffee is unique in that most restaurants do not serve it. My husband couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Everthing about this meal was top notch, including the service. Loved it!
