Casual dining with sophisticated hospitality.

The appetizers, main courses, dessert and wine were outstanding; however, the extreme noise level made it extremely difficult for my daughter and me to converse. The same has been true other times I've visited, and it keeps my friends and me from meeting there.

If you love hand-cut fries, eat at Steamboat, but the smoked meats (to this at-home small-batch smoker) are moderately bitter and seem to taste just a bit of petroleum smoke. No sweet apple our crisp mesquite undertones. Specifically, we tried beef brisket and pulled pork. Both were a bit dry and certainly not exceptional. The nadir: baked beans that were unpleasantly squishy (sc. super-cheap canned beans with a bitter smoke flavor). That said, the sauces were good, and the service was quick.

Best breakfast experience I've ever had!
Staff is top notch! Very friendly and make you feel like family.
The food is amazing! Fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. My poached eggs couldn't have been more perfectly cooked.
You get the perfect amount of food, I was full but not overly so.
The fresh fruit is the best fruit I've had at a restaurant.
Food is reasonably priced as well.
Great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to come back!

My first visit to Chama Gaucha was for a business group dinner. I expected a typical Brazilian steakhouse, but was happy to find an extremely high-quality appetizer bar and incredible high-quality meat selection. The service was impeccable, and every food item was the freshest and tastiest possible. Even the desserts (Keylime pie, NY cheesecake) were exceptional! It will be difficult to beat Chama Gaucha at any other Brazilian steakhouse of its kind, regardless of price. If you are ever visiting in the Lombard or Downers Grove area, be sure not to miss this restaurant.

I love Oberwise always have use to get milk delivered weekly until it became insanely priced! Visited here Sunday it was slammed, staff looked work out and the seating area was filthy! I wish these corporate restaurants would realize they need to not over work their staff I almost felt guilty waiting in line they were so tired!

We are on the corner of Main St. and Hillside in downtown Glen Ellyn – across the street from St. Marks Episcopal Church and Giesche Shoes.

One of the few places that has actual fresh today (like a few hours ago) sweets. The cookies and brownies are fantastically good.I always purchase them and haven't tried some of the other choices.The soup is sooo good. Just try it and you will be taking some home. I have frozen a quart or two of my favorites and they are perfect for those nights when you want something really good but don't want to cook or go out. This was a bit out of the way for me but it is so worth the trip.
7. Ivy Restaurant

This was our first time to dine at Ivy and we were delighted. The service was helpful, efficient, sensitive to our needs (turned down the music). The menu features a wide variety of appetizers and entrees. The tilapia fish with crab was delicious and served with fresh veggies was healthy too. There is a pleasant and peaceful ambience to the place that compliments the food all of which gave us a splendid dining experience. We were with a group of friends and enjoyed a private dining room. Prices were mid-range.
8. Greek Islands Restaurant West

Reviewed By Bruce G - Chicago, Illinois
We had met some other people here for lunch. My wife had a combination plate and I ordered the Gyro sandwich. The wife munch enjoyed her plate although the Gyro for me fell short big time. The meat was dry and seemed to be overcooked. The pita did not seem fresh. On top of that they charge $15.00 for it! I have had much better Gyro sandwiches at other places for half that cost. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the sandwich and certainly not the price. I wish I would have ordered something else off the menu and think I would have most likely had a much better experience.
The server although got us what we needed did not seem very personable.

Overall Ratings

Parkers' Restaurant & Bar is a chef-driven, full service, contemporary American restaurant and bar serving lunch, dinner, and private functions. The restaurant features fresh fish and seafood along with high quality meat and pasta preparations. The restaurant is housed in a transformed New England-style building on Highland Avenue at 31st, just north of I88 in Downers Grove, a western suburb of Chicago. The ambiance is casual-upscale with a mosaic tiled, open kitchen adjacent to a 150 seat dining room featuring a polished hardwood decor. The cozy, 50 seat bar and cocktail lounge area features a dramatic, wood vaulted ceiling and live piano entertainment, in the evening.

Overall, food choices were good and our guests enjoyed what they ordered. Desserts were creative and excellent. Service was relatively slow probably due to the crowd/service ratio. What was purportedly Boulliabaise was more of a Cioppino given the heavy tomato flavor. Would not order it again but those in the party that ordered steaks were very happy with their choices.

Nice clean modern setting, connected to the Crowne Plaza Hotel (formerly a Holiday Inn). Service was very slow. Never got a refill of water and we were there 3 hours. Felt fairly ignored, took 15 minutes to get a beer after ordering it (she did comp us for it though). Spare ribs were very tasty, but the brussel sprouts were undercooked and tasteless. Fish and chips smelled like old oil. Portions were quite small for the price ($24 for one boneless spare rib (about the size of a pack of cards), small scoop of mashed sweet potato and a pile of brussel sprouts). Disappointed.I won't be going again.
