Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Downers Grove

From sitting down to receiving the bill it was a wonderful experience. The peach bellini was refreshing, sweet and tasty. The bread they give with the giardinera was amazing. We ate and didn’t get full because the bread was so light and airy. The giradinera with the olive oil was amazing. So flavorful. The appetizer: beef carpaccio was delightful. It wasn’t heavy so it was the perfect appetizer. The rigatoni wasn’t spicy but it was flavorful. I added the chicken milanesa for protein and it was fried perfectly. They have two breasts if chicken on top of the rigatoni. The whitefish that my husband received was good. It was smaller than the one our neighboring table received, but besides that, it was a complete meal with yummy smashed potatoes and spinach. I enjoyed the olive oil cake, surprisingly. The description does not do the dessert justice. The chocolate budino wasn’t spicy VERY rich. Not to my liking, but it was decent. It seemed to be a flourless chocolate cake. The service was decent, despite being extremely busy. Overall, a nice way to spend a chilly evening in Oak Brook after winning at the Great Big Game Show.

Great service. Always someone nearby to fill water or get a new cocktail or check to see if u need anything for your meal. Everyone was friendly and nice too. Food was good but some of sides should have been hotter. All food was tasty and yummy.

West coast oysters were terrific. Crabmeat avocado was delicious. The fillet was excellent as was the WR cut and a lobster tail for the table. We were celebrating Moms 97th birthday and server Diana was very gracious and give the table two walnut chocolate chip cookies topped with vanilla ice cream whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It was an excellent topper to a terrific evening.

I usually have lunch with my brother’s son. My brother died of a brain tumor just before David was born. He and I are very close. He loved the pork chops. So, did I. Great restaurant.

Last year i went on new years day and it was way less like 120 for 2 people. 150 w tip. This new years day. I was not told it would be additional holiday pricing. It cost me 211 w tip for 2 people. used to be 50 per dinner then it had gone up to 60 then 70 now 80 on holidays. Its good but becoming way overpriced. Why so many changes. Also last yr dinner was going on at 4 430. I went in today and was told it was not open til 5 but there were reservation options listed for the whole day online. Servers were not as nice as usual
