“First time at the Batavia location after going to the Naperville one a few times. Love their wings but decided to try their chick-alopes (boneless wings) for the first time. These weren’t my favorite, but the mango habanero sauce is excellent.“
“We were a party of 7, had a 5:00 reservation. As usual the service was fine and the food was great. From lasagna to the special (ravioli with beef filling and a meatball) everyone's food was served hot and delicious. Desserts were great too! I had a marvelous tiramisu and others had their great lemonchello cake. My only concern was for 7 people they should have brought us 2 loaves of bread instead of 1. Plus no EVOO and parmesan were not offered for the bread.“
“We had a delightful evening at this restaurant! Despite arriving late for our 8 PM reservation, we were promptly seated. The ambiance is upscale yet welcoming. The oysters were superb, and the chef graciously provided off-menu options for my vegetarian wife. Our server was outstanding, and the bar drinks were satisfying. I thoroughly enjoyed the salmon dish, and the cheese bread was delicious, especially when paired with olives. Overall, a five-star experience—we'll definitely return!“
“Great food, great drinks and best of all great service. I enjoyed my huckleberry ipa along with our brussel sprout appetizer and the pot roast sandwich. Maria provided us with a great experience, even on a packed Saturday evening. We enjoy the TV dinners as well, and grabbed a few of those to go. We will definitely be back! We qlso appreciate the additional support from the bar staff - Claire and Desi. Looking forward to our next visit!“
“Came for lunch almost dinner… we had the flat bread which was wonderful, the eggplant appetizer amazing and my husband had a ribeye he loved it! Our server was great she was spot on, restaurant was clean and hostess asked where we wanted to be seated was honest this area can be loud, appreciative of that! We definitely are coming back my only issue was the menus were kinda hard to read in the dark.“
“Came on a Wednesday morning and were seated promptly. Started with a caramel machiatto, which was excellent. Eggs were perfectly cooked. I had them with the bacon , which was thick and crispy. The breakfast potatoes are seasoned perfectly. Pancakes are bomb as well. Fluffy, but not too dry or dense. A little pricey but everything was delicious.“
“4 of us went Friday night 4/21 before the show at Paramount. We had reservations ànd our table was ready for us on time. The food was really good, but the highlight of our entire time there was our server Carla. Carla went above and beyond for us. We all agreed, she was the best serve any of us have ever had anywhere!!! Thank you Carla!!! "The Golden Girls"“
“Served by Jubilee who was great! Very attentive and friendly in serving. Had the burger which was OK. It seems the special of the day burgers are smaller than the regular burgers on different days. But hey, it's not bad.Jubilee! Jubilee !!“
“Atwater restaurant was superb. The only down side was the aspect of handicap accessible entrance and outside entrance handicap parking. The ramp wasn't very conducive for handicap wheelchairs, scooters or walkers. It is my request that the Herrington really examine accessibility to all would be ideal for future guests.“
“Instant favorite. My review is for the restaurant - Danny Boys. I 'found' this place while biking a few years ago. Was sitting across the street taking a breather when I spotted the restoration of this building. I believe they've been open for a while now, but we finally managed to stop in with some friends last night. The menu was slightly different there than the one I saw online, but the in-house menu seemed to have more options. Either way, they have a wide variety of choices ranging from burgers to traditional German plates to tacos, which I ordered. This was a group of three terrific taco's and a side of rice that will make me go back for more. My son had the plate of dumplings which I tried, also just as good. The service here was quick and very friendly. We're interested to come back in the summer when the outdoor patio is open. Cheers.“
“Small restaurant with a dark, moody vibe that offers great drinks, food, and service. Been here twice and both times were enjoyable and the food is definitely memorable.Wings- maple bourbon dry rub with the good ranch and homemade blue cheese dressing these are a mustBrussel sprout salad- fresh and the acv dressing me feel better about myself before we consumed all the delectable food we ordered.Brie burger with seasoned fries- pairs good with the multiple cocktails I am sure you will order here.Grits- I didn't even know I liked them until nowChicken Shawarma Sandwich- I knew there was a reason I kept seeing everyone order this. It's amazing. How do they make better shawarma than most shawarma places around here?!Birria grilled cheese- good but the wings and shawarma have my heart.Seriously you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't try these things at least once if you come here. Personally, I would recommend the wings, brie burger, and chicken shawarma sandwich. Legit I still think about them and it's been a month since we have been there. Oh, and the fries as a side .. just get them your stomach will thank you later“
“Came here with friends. Ambiance was really lovely and warm set in a gorgeous old building. Good selection of drinks, service was professional and pleasant. The food was on the better side of average. Perhaps i ordered poorly. My Arctic Char was overcooked. Spatzle was drowning in sauce. My husbands slow-cooked ribs were good, the fennel in the lamb was slightly overpowering. The octopus starter was slightly overcooked. The shrimp bao was a winner. Desserts were delicious. The plating for everything was attractive. Would I return? Unlikely, given that we travelled for this.“
“UPDATE: We've been back 3 times since my first review and it keeps getting better. The hostess is cordial, friendly and sweet, what a nice change. Our latest visit we had Kyle as our server, super friendly, knowledgeable and spot on without being overwhelming. There were 6 in our party and he didn't miss a beat. Started out with Joan's Rolls, super soft, warm rolls with a chive butter, so good. 3 of us had the miso salmon, the other 3 had the apple & pear salad with a protein. Everything was delicious and done perfectly! We like how the chef changes the menu a little bit every so often.“
“What a gem!The view of the river from the patio was absolutely lovely. Twinkle lights to boot.Danny's Beef was the best beef sandwich I've ever had. The meat was so flavorful, one slice of cheese was the perfect amount, the bread was fluffy and crispy in all the right spots. The put the juice on the side, but the meat still had some moisture to it. I like mine on the drier side so this was perfect.Their french fries were also on point!The place had been busy with Oktoberfest so they were juggling post-festing with hosting their later guests, and they did phenomenal. Positive attitudes abound.I went yesterday, I want to go back to tonight. And again and again. Thank you for a delicious time!“
“Went here for brunch with my family on a Sunday afternoon. Upon stepping inside, I knew this would be a nice place to spend the afternoon. The host greeted us promptly and gave us two options for seating; and asked if any of us had food allergies...this was a nice surprise since my kids have a food allergy and nobody ever asks us. The host made it a point that he would notify the waitstaff and kitchen staff.The service was fast and efficient, our food was awesome, and the entire staff was accommodating to our two kids. As my kids finished their meals, our waiter told them to check out the art upstairs...this gesture gave my wife and I a few minutes to finish our coffee and beer.The pricing is as you would expect for this type of exclusive restaurant.Brass tacks: excellent food and high-end atmosphere without the pretense. I'm going back.“
“My friend wanted us all to get together at this place for some dinner and bingo on a Saturday night...Yelp the directions and a way we gooooo! When we arrived it had a cool family vibe, it's in a corner strip mall so there's plenty of parking. As we walked to the restaurant we saw strings of lights and several picnic tables to eat outside which we can here in February so looking forward to checking out this place in the summer nights. When we arrived they had several tables, high top tables. A long bar table to sit and eat and in the back of the place more picnic tables. When you want to order you would have to order though their qrcode at the table and they would bring your food to you, or order on their 2 standing tablets then wait to pick up your order. We even had a staff come to our table for a friend who couldn't get into their app. It sounded like if you have a group that's some people were ordering with the code separately, you have to take turns so the table number comes up with our order. I believe this is a cashless establishment as I didn't see anything paying in cash or a register. Ok on to the food... All our orders came in chinese take out containers in different sizes depending on what you got. I got the 10 pcs wings with buffalo sauce, if you wanted more or another different sauce like bbq that's extra. It's not bad juice regular sized wings flats and drummers but they were not seasoned/flavorful by itself so I sauced it. The fries were ok a bit soggy sometimes I like that vs too crispy. Hubby got the chicken sandwich he liked it. Typical sandwich. As for our drinks we got waters in blue plastic cups but our slushy booze came in an 8 oz glass. I got piña colada with booze was strong and good. Hubby got the hurricane slushy with booze strong and good. They have several flavors of the slushy machines that you can see in the pick up area. They offer with booze and without booze so kid friendly. They service different salads bowls, chicken sandwiches/beef burger, chicken tenders, and chicken wings. They have kid friendly food like Mac and cheese. We came here on a Saturday night for some free bingo with prizes it's about 2 hours of fun. Fun for us because 4 of us won a bingo prize of $5 off of food on a Saturday bingo night so we're coming back lol! One of the prizes was over $1k cash prize to fill up your bingo card in 52 numbers or else money will roll over! Overall, it's a nice place for family night , friends to hang out and those who love playing bingo... Tip, if you come on a Saturday night after 5:00pm it gets packed so come an hour or more to get a table to eat dinner or stay awhile if you want to play some BINGO.“
“I took my husband here for the first time for brunch and we can't wait to come back and work our way through the menu. My Florentine Benedict egg was perfectly poached and the hollandaise spot on; and my husband's biscuits and gravy, rich and flavored with bacon as well as sausage. My grapefruit/hibiscus mimosa--loved it. And the lingonberry pancakes were a taste of my childhood. The environment was casual and friendly with a little cozy-industrial vibe. Can't wait to go back!“
“We are not from the neighborhood and the waitress was very welcoming. Great fun and a rowdy crowd for the Bears game. We had chicken wings and an appetizer platter which were delicious. There "beignet" platter is off the chain. We'll definitely be going back“
“We recently celebrated a 50th birthday at this fantastic event venue, and it exceeded all expectations! The 80s rock band took us on a nostalgic journey with their classic hits, creating an electrifying atmosphere. The upstairs area was perfect for our private party, providing an exclusive space for dancing and celebration. The combination of great live music, delicious catered food, friendly service, and a well-stocked bar made it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to host a lively and memorable event!“
“My wife and I love this place! We've been on and off regulars for a few years now, and it just feels like our very own Cheers. We started coming for the beer and cocktails from the fully stocked bar because it's so close to home, and the atmosphere and quality food choices on the menu drew us back for more. TOn top of that, the entire staff here are so welcoming and friendly. These are good people running a fantastic business like nothing we've ever found anywhere else in this area. We always bring our family and friends whenever they come to visit. Strongly recommend, two thumbs up!!“
“Best pool hall in the county and surrounding area. The tables are super well kept! They were all recently replaced. The balls are polished often, and there’s always quality chalk. The staff is friendly and are quick to help. They also host leagues here, so sign up for APA!Parking: Always plenty of spotsKid-friendliness: Not SUPER kid friendly just because of the music volume and content, but people bring kids.“
“We sat on the patio on a cold day. The heaters helped, but we needed to keep our coats on. It looks like a great space for warmer weather. Excellent Ruben sandwich ranked 8.5/10. Got a cup of delicious French onion soup for $2.50 with the sandwich, ranked 10/10 for that price. Overall, I'd give Preservation an 8/10, which would be higher if it wasn't so chilly on the partially enclosed patio. The cold hastened our departure. I'll definitely be back when it warms up!“
“Great afordable food! Merinated chicken, tastes home made the steak burgers are huge and taste great! The chese curds are the best in the area! The fry's are crunchy! Triva on Mondays, karaoke on Thursday, seasonally live music and darts Saturday! If you are looking for a place to try look no further. Outdoor seating available!“

“I love going to Cooper’s Hawk, especially the location in St. Charles. Not only is the food and the wine scrumptious, but we always get great service. Our favorite hostess is Josie Skwarek. We know when we see her smile, it’s going to be a great time.“
“My wife and I had a wonderful lunch. She enjoys the fish tacos and I the Kansas City burger. Both meals were cooked perfectly. Both tasted like they have always tasted, consistently good. The beer selection was good. I went with the Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap, and my wife went with the premium Margarita. Both were excellent. But I wish to specifically point out that our server, Adam, was top notch. He obviously was wearing many hats. He greeted us as we walked in. He seated us at a booth of our choice. He was our server too. The entire time he was doing all this, he was also taking care of all the customers at the bar. He was Sharp. He saw my wife had her cell phone out with a birthday coupon before we even told him. He took that immediately. He obviously has a ton of experience doing his job. Polite and professional. we both were very pleased.“
“OMG! The best burger and fries you can get here. You can get wing and other things on this menu that is delicious. This place has lots of TVs that has lots of sports with lots of friendly waiters and staff. This place I have grown up since I was (15), now 32!! Just an amazing place to “

“Friendly staff and nice large restaurant. Was seated quickly and waiter arrived promptly. Options from salads, burgers, sandwiches and pizzas. Prices are on the higher side but you’re paying for the atmosphere and experience here. No complaints. The BBQ Chicken Pizza was tasty.“
“Good place. The staff is friendly and swift and glad to see you. Prices are pretty good and the menu has a lot of variety. The food is great and relatively large portions. Overall, I recommend this place. Nice view of the Fox River as well.“
“On February 20th,2024, visited the office with six colleagues for a lunch meeting. What started as a meeting with three colleagues grew to six within the hour. Our server Maeve K, handled the growing party without any issues, quickly moving us a larger table (drinks and all.) Service was excellent (our water and soft drink glass were never empty) and the food was outstanding. Several of our colleagues had never been to the office but after this lunch meeting all said they were coming back for dinner & to try out the outdoor patio.“
“Stopped in after a wake down the street. Cool old space, beautiful spaces around outside, and is right along the river. Staff was friendly but not super on top of it. It was a weird night for all of us though so chalking that up to just a day. Rueben was good and balanced well, but could have had a bit more on it. Fries were really good. Husband and sister god wraps and said they were decent. Overall, a lovely space with decent food. Would be a good place to have a hang and chill with a cocktail.Kid-friendliness: As long as not seated at the bar, kids are allowed.“
“I had an incredible experience at Top Golf, all thanks to the exceptional manager, John. Despite waiting for my order for an hour, John stepped in and personally ensured that everything was made right for me. His professionalism, empathy, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly stood out. I deeply appreciate his swift action and commitment to excellence. Thanks to John's exemplary service, I left Top Golf feeling valued and satisfied. I highly recommend Top Golf for its outstanding customer service, and I'm grateful to John for turning my experience around.“
“This was my first visit here, and initially, I was somewhat puzzled about where to go. However, the hostess was exceptionally welcoming and kind, taking the time to guide me through both areas. Upon entering, you find the restaurant to the right and, to the left, a bar along with a venue for live music. I visited on a Saturday night specifically for the live performance by Semple Band, and it was incredible. There was a $15 entry fee, payable in cash only. I hadn't brought any cash, but fortunately, there was an ATM right at the entrance, which was convenient. Inside the live music venue, there are two floors and plenty of space for dancing. There were lots of tables and seatings available, but you have to grab them quickly as they're first come, first served. The live music venue opens at 7:45 PM. Both the bartenders and the staff were amiable and efficient. I thoroughly enjoyed the roundhouse burger with waffle fries, priced at $16, and the beef nachos for $20. Both dishes were scrumptious, and I'd definitely order them again. The live band was fantastic, and I met many wonderful people. I had a great time at this venue.“
“Service here is quick and friendly, restaurant is moderately full and very clean!! Outstanding gyro ? and rice; and their Greek salad is filled with Greek cheese and olives, not just lettuce and onions…..worth the trip to satisfy your appetite!!Vegetarian options: The salads and soups are fresh and delicious….good options on going meatless…Parking: Plenty of parking availability….Kid-friendliness: Great seating for families with kids!“
“Such a cute and cozy hidden gem! It's a bit further away from the river so I can see how it gets overlooked. I came here just for drinks and it was perfect. I'm really picky with my drinks but I got the whisky sour and thought it was great! Our waitress was also super fun!“
