Best Healthy Restaurants in Plainfield

My wife and I had a quick getaway to Chicago for her birthday. OpenTable booking made it simple to make reservations and any changes. Heads-up, parking will be a challenge so I recommend using valet! Make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee seating. The staff were very great at anticipating the wait time and so we did for 30 min since we arrived earlier. We were seated at the chef’s table which neither of us expected, and was a treat to experience. My wife enjoyed every bit of the good chaos in the kitchen and watching Ted & Kishaun (apologies for typo), prep the food with passion. Service was great all the way around and all the staff were attentive - kudos! The food, this is by far the highlight of the night and the trip! Flavor at its fullest and the portions are ample for two. We had the best empanadas to date, the skirt steak was a hit, and the pork belly was delish. Wrap dinner with apple pie is a a treat on its own. Thank you for making our trip and birthday celebration a memorable one.

Since it is a tapas restaurant there is a wide variety to chose ftom. We usually order a cold tapas and then hot. Save room for dessert.

This place is fantastic! Don’t let the unassuming old school diner look fool you - food and service here were top notch. Took my bestie here for her first night out since having a baby and although we may not have, this place kept it classy! Our group of 4 arrived, having already imbibed, quite rambunctious and ready to take it further. The server handled us and the situation with grace. Yasmin was kind and patient as she took our order and played it cool when the topic of drinks came up. Without drawing attention, they kept the waters flowing and the fried appetizers coming. The food was a surprise and delight as each dish ordered arrived looking different than any of us had imagined. Potted carrots, frito misto, and the grapes in the ravioli were just a few of the delights. Was it the pre-game, or is this a fun menu? We may never know. That said, they didn’t make a scene when my friend lost her napkin 6x or had red lipstick on her face and hands, or when the new mom pulled the pumps off at the table. If you saw us, no you didn’t. While we eventually redeemed ourselves enough to be allowed 1 round of drinks with our pasta dishes, we left quietly and on our own accord, ensuring Yasmin was given an additional tip on top of the included 25% gratuity. Thanks for having us and treating us with care. We love you, Daisies!

Had a great experience at Elske. Food and service were great. However, we were celebrating my girlfriends birthday and unfortunately there was no recognition despite having added it to the reservation notes. With a place of this caliber I would’ve expected some form of recognition or special birthday element. I wasn’t expecting a free dessert or anything but just a simple ‘happy birthday’ would’ve been a nice touch.

I absolutely love this place - it’s one of my favs in the city. The food and staff is INCREDIBLE! A friend and I were celebrating getting into a top business school, and the staff went out their way to congratulate us. We got custom congratulations menus, a complimentary glass of champagne, and many congrats from the staff! Everything is shareable for the most part, except for the spaghetti! Order for yourself lol it’s just that good.
