Coming to this area a lot for work, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this gem! How I had not been here prior is strange as J Alexander’s is right up my alley.Nice Mix menu, lovely ambiance/decor and fantastic service. We got the deviled eggs appetizer which was delicious! I got the fried chicken strips dinner and my friend got the ahi steak. I went crazy for the coleslaw... it was SO good as was the rest of my meal. We did their carrot cake which may me the best carrot cake I have ever tasted with a warm light icing. I’ll be back.

Giordano's Chicago Pizza

Reviewed By 135MikeS135

We were staying in Indy and took the train to Chicago for the day. Decided to eat here since our son and friend s said it was great. The pizza was out of this world best deep dish chicopozza I have ever had. The service was terrible we waited 20 minutes after we were seated for a waitress and she was not around much. The deep dish takes 45 minutes to make so keep that in mind. The lunch specials are faster. We ordered the lunch specials and one meat deep dish. One off our daughters friend asked for the lunch special but somehow she got a small pizza . We told the server why would you think a little girl would get that when all the other kids got the lunch special. So we spent 25 dollars for her to eat 3 pieces of pizza. Common sense was not our waitress strong point. Food was great hopefully you get a better waitress. We will go back.

First visit with large group in separate room. Service was exceptional and the food was even better. Several had the special pork chop but I chose to have salmon which was every good! Will definitely return again with a smaller group to enjoy their full menu as ours was limited due to our group of about 50 people.Thank you for the wonderful feedback. We appreciate you and your business very much.Again, thank you and have a good day.

Reviewed By wendy g

This was our first visit to Ditkas. The level of service was impressive. My filet mignon was so tender and flavorful, it melted in my mouth. My husband’s NY steak, was flavorful, but not as tender as it could have been. The house green salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back!

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.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

Convivial chain dishing up hearty portions of New Orleans-style seafood, steaks, salads & more.

Reviewed By Taylor B

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.
