Our west suburban friends who tipped us off to Parkers' Restaurant & Bar in Downers Grove also recommended the Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in nearby Westmont. They're batting 1.000 in our culinary league. Located at 921 Pasquinelli Drive, off Route 83, north of Ogden Avenue, near the Oak Brook Mall, Pappadeaux's expansive and delicious and innovative menu reminds us of our not-too-long-ago vacation in New Orleans. We aren't into oysters, alligator, crawfish or octopus but the Pappas family, which opened their first restaurant in 1976, has built a chain that includes 90 locations in seven states and features drop-dead and hearty servings of New Orleans-style seafood, steaks, salads, soups and desserts. Based in Houston (most of the chain's locations are in Texas), Pappadeaux has only one location in Illinois--and this is it. Too bad. Because Illinois could use a lot more of this type of cuisine. Open at 11 a.m. daily, there aren't any other restaurants of its kind in the Chicago area. My wife and I started with gumbo with shrimp and seafood, classic Caesar salad and lobster bisque. For an entree, my wife couldn't resist one of her favorites, oven-roasted grouper with crab meat and parmesan asparagus. I chose grilled tilapia and jumbo shrimp with crab meat and green beans. But it was hard to pass up stuffed rainbow trout, American red snapper and shrimp and crispy Atlantic salmon and scallops. For dessert, we shared key lime pie and praline bread pudding souffle with vanilla ice cream. Next time I'll have to order the sweet potato pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. Or the creme brulee. I understand both are to die for. Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen isn't a hidden gem--it is located on always busy Route 83--and it doesn't come across as a chain restaurant. But for Chicagoans who are used to burgers, hot dogs and pizza, this New Orleans-style seafood is something special to add to your menu.

Back visiting relatives & stopped in for her discount birthday meal. We all had the filets & they did not disappoint. Tender & seasoned just right. The chef made us sauted spinach (not listed on the menu) & it was yummy. Although quite on the spendy side, the food is perfection. Splurged for an excellent bottle of wine & thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Our service was superb. Highly recommend this restaurant for a special night out.

We decided to celebrate my daughters birthday at the grill on a Wed. night. We arrived at about 6 pm and were told it would be 45-60 minutes wait. We really wanted to order the bang bang shrimp, so we waited, no room at the bar for our party of four. It was 60 minutes later that we got a table, 10-15 minutes after sitting down, a waitress took our drink and appetizer order. 10-15 minutes later we received our drinks but not as we ordered. Our food order was taken. 30 minutes later our food was brought, it was then that the waitress asked about our missing appetizer, which showed up 5 minutes after our food was served. The food was OK, the bang bang shrimp was the best food item ordered, so if you are willing to wait out the time prior to eating and not necessarily get what you ordered, this may be for you. We have eaten at other bone fish grill locaions in which the experience was much different and better.
