“Great place. The food is amazing. The staff was professional and courteous. Especially our waitress, Nuvia O. Wonderful suggestions from her about entrees and drinks. Celebrated my wife's birthday with friends and family. Everyone had a great time. We will definitely be going back. The only issue we experienced was that we had a two hour time limit for our table. Which was unfortunate. We wanted to stay longer to have more drinks. Other than that, everything was fantastic.“
“Gluten free waffles and pancakes ARE available and an absolute revelation! Hallelujah! The blueberry lemon cheesecake waffles were INSANE, no maple syrup needed.Claudia was a great hostess and server. Even when she is busy she's attentive and kind.Great Julius Meinl coffee ☕?My only note, and the only ⭐ I withheld, would be that our steak skillet had barely any meat in it and was mostly large chunks of potatoes and cheese (fine, but we're here for the full melange). If we're going to do hunks of potato, I personally prefer a small to medium dice, but hash browns are my top. Skillets are a staple and will be what brings people in over and over so that they can have the filling savory meal while they share your delicious waffles. Of course my experience is mine alone.Menu images for everyone to enjoy their amazing offerings!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free available!!“
“I lived in downtown Lemont for a while and watched Barrel & Vine being built. I've been going since they had a soft open. I absolutely LOVE their chimichurri fries, you need to try them. I now live out of state but stop in for dinner or lunch to meet up with family and friends when I'm in town. Everything I've had is delicious. Pub burger, charcuterie board, jambalaya, fries, short rib bolognese, and finally.. the salted caramel cookie skillet. Don't skip out on the crafted cocktails or dessert.If you haven't tried Barrel &Vine yet, you should. Don't miss out.Parking: Because the restaurant is located downtown, the parking is a little difficult on weekends. There is street parking, and a lot across the street. A block or two away is a free parking garage.“
“Sunday lunch was a wonderful experience for several reasons. The restaurant was open according to their posted store hours. A few years ago, this would have been a silly compliment. But these days, we have had several encounters in which we would arrive at an eatery and notice the doors are still locked even though it's past their usual store open hours. Needless to say, service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. Our party of six shared the smoked trout dip, calamari, charred pepperoni pizza, white mushroom and truffle pizza, Italian cheesecake, and tiramisu. The smoked trout dip is a tad high on sodium but I really like how it was served with flaxseed crackers. The pizza are served Romana style, therefore rectangular and fluffy. The crust is thin but with a crunch. Even better, they are half-price on Sundays!“
“Service was great even though we came 10 minutes before closing, additionally we got absolutely great recommendations from supporting staff. The drinks were superb. Food was delicious. Favorite was the octopus! -Overhead lighting was a minus though. Bring sunglasses.“
“I've been here many times now, and love it!! It's busy most weekends and holidays and nights tbh, lol. So expect a bit of a wait, sometimes. It's worth it. Besides you can walk up the street and have a quick beer at Orange and Brew or Emmett's Brewing Co. while you're on their waiting list. It's just a short walk; get that 5 minute walk in for beer and food!! Enjoy and cheers!“
“enjoyed a delicious meal and caught a fabulous show by brooklyn charmers -- excellent space for live music. FAIR WARNING: there is a small room to the left of the front door from which you cannot see the band (there are video monitors though), so call ahead to make your reservation and ensure you are seated in the main room if you want to see the band.“
“Sat down to relax and drink a delicious draft beer, proceeded to drop my cell phone and when I went to retrieve it found a SPOTLESS floor! I'm talking pristine! You could eat off this floor! Just another great feature if this already wonderful place.“
“One of the best coffee roasters in the western burbs, and definitely my favorite coffee shop to work from. Their signature and seasonal drinks are great, plus this location also serves cocktails. Highly recommend!Parking: Parking is ample, but can be a bit tricky due to the layout of the building.“
“I love this Family-owned business and especially that it is owned by a veteran. My family has been coming here for years, and my go to was always the Shrimp tacos! My last time in with a friend I tried a Burger. I highly recommend The Burgatory. Goat cheese on a burger- Who knew? It's drool-worthy. The other new addition I'm obsessed with is the Fried Pickles and Cheese curds appetizer. Why has no one else thought to combine these two before? And their homemade pie is unbeatable! New flavor each week. The staff is fabulous and these guys just celebrated 15 years in business. Cheers to Ellyn's Tap & Grill.“
“This place is truly a hidden gem. We were recommended to check this spot out by a local bartender, and we are so glad we did! The ambiance was really chill and non pretentious. Our mixologist, David, was super personable and well versed in his craft. He’s bringing experience from cocktail programs in the city to the burbs! It was a cute little spot that gave speakeasy vibes. We initially thought we were underdressed, but this place wasn’t booshie at all, and there was no judgement like some places. The cocktails were creative and well balanced. I’m so glad we have a place like this nearby. We will definitely be back soon!Update:We just went back because of our previous experience. I brought a group of 10 (all industry people). We spent over 1k as a group for my friend’s 40th bday. I raved about this place only to feel unwelcome in the end. A young female bartender tells us we were too loud. Honestly, we obviously had a lot to drink, but nobody was being reckless. We were told people were complaining. From a business standpoint you made us feel unwelcome in an establishment where we spent money. Take the $60 2 top who complained over what we spent there tonight? At least pull one of us aside instead of making a grand announcement. Chad you’re a great and talented owner, but train your staff how to talk to people. Just tell us, dont make a scene.“
“Quaint place for awesome cocktails. A good and interesting list to choose from. Small and intimate place. The sliders were ok. Small plates menu with about 5 things on it. I would go here for before or after dinner cocktails and eat at Babbocks which is connected to this “
“Atmosphere makes or breaks a bar. Place was fun and tons to do. Between video gambling to board games. Definitely a great place to hangout with friends and have a few well prices great drinks. Service was fast and bartenders very friendly. 10/10 “
“As always, Chef Paul’s restaurants are right on point. Katherine and I collectively have been to Vistro (Prime) a few times . . . and the food, craft cocktails, and atmosphere make for an excellent social and culinary experience. It was wonderful to see Patrick doing the Mixology while the other restaurant is in process of opening apparently this spring.This time around, Katherine and I stopped by for a craft cocktail, and we ended up enjoying the happy hour oysters that were very good.I have never offered a single suggested critique of Vie or Vistro.The only request I have is for the manager of Vistro Prime is to check the barstools at the bar.My barstool was wobbly, and it likely/ simply needs to be tightened up. I’m a handy person and have constructed and repaired barstools; so possibly, the hardware for some of your barstools needs to be tightened up and or repaired.They are beautiful barstools!Other than that, I completely recommend Vistro Prime to every and anyone that receives this review and all my friends and family as always!“
“Hands down the best slider trio I have ever had. Regular cheeseburger was terrific. Buffalo chicken with blue cheese was outstanding. But the winner was the pot roast slider. Wow. Tons of flavor and very juicy. We had never been to down Elmhurst and decided to try this gem. We will be back!!!“
“The Wooden Paddle offers excellent service. Our server Gianna was anttentive annd knew exactly when we were in need. Even on weekdays, it's advisable to make reservations. The tasting menu is a delight, leaving you impressed and able to try many items. Their wood-fired pizzas are truly incredible. A definite must-visit; can't wait to return for another delightful experience.“
“We came in on Valentines Day.and were floored by the service and martinis/wine/old fashion. The Martinis were above and beyond what you could find anywhere. The staff as a whole was attentive and treated us like family/regulars. I am very critical, too much, and we will be back here for sure. Thank you to the staff and libations!!!“
“This resturant is an absolute gem! The cocktail list is impressive and delicious. There are multiple, delicious craft Mexican-inspired cocktails. If you like spicy, be sure to select something with the homemade jalapeño simple syrup! The food was excellent. It is no exaggeration when I state that I had the BEST ground beef taco I have ever had. The al pastor taco and guacamole were delicious as well. Locals, we need to keep this place open. This family-owned and run resturant is a wonderful addition to our community!“
“What a great addition to Lemont! We have been meaning to come here for a while, and now that we finally have we will be making it a point to come more often!The Qlamari were a delicious starter - very fresh and tender, with two delicious sauces. One was creamy green sauce, tasted like a spicy jalapeno coconut curry, the other was a sweet chili sauce.The entree's were a nice spin on traditional dishes. They had a good depth of flavor and had the traditional flavor while tasting elevated. I have never tried the fried rice noodles , I loved the crunch they added to the Lad Nar. The Pepper steak was delicious too.We are excited to try some more of our traditional thai favorites like drunken noodles, pad woon sen, etc the next time and see what kind of delicious spin they put on them!Also - at first I was surprised that they chose the strip mall on State as their location, but the interior is actually beautiful, cozy, and delightfully understated. I also appreciate that I didn't have to search for parking and I could easily order takeout here as well. Make this your next meal out - you won't be disappointed!!“
“Out with old in with the new. New owners that is .Same attentive bar tenders and friendly regulars Summer has a great garden area for groups New owner with more progressive ideas Large selection of martini's with ample portions Ask for a menu of the many different drinks beers and old time favorite drinks Great Cheers Bar“
“Today I wanted to pamper myself, I went to eat at Sabor de mi Tierra and this is what I found: warm welcome, delicious sauce with a soup to whet your appetite, delicious quesabirrias and an incredible prepared mineral water. Super attentive with the service, the place was full, but everything flowed very efficiently. Congratulations and see you soon there! I threaten to return .“
“I recently dined at Stefan grill and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was exquisite, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was delightful. I highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable dining experience. Can't wait to go back!“
“My boyfriend and I went to Tannins for his birthday and ordered a flight of wine. It was awesome, the bartender was really nice and super great about suggesting menu items to try. We tried one of the cheese plates and loved it! We will definitely be back :).“
“Ate in Wheaton. Our server was a delight and gave us attention. Asked for mor corn chips. What I was not happy about was my Paella . Such a small portion of Paella with Mussels added around edge with bread slices around bowl. Covered with Raw cabbage slaw! Slaw was not needed. Oh and can we talk about ever shrinking Gauc trio!?!! I swear a tablespoon of each. Not sure if it was just an off night or the difference between Wheaton and Geneva. Never had a bad meal in Geneva Altiro.“
“This has been my second time here. Everything from the ambience to the food and service is incredible. I have tried almost everything on the menu and the item that I am least impressed with are the fires. Everything else on the menu has so much flavor and the presentation is on point. They offer a nice selection of wines. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.“
“We recently catered food for a large party we hosted from Xando. Nothing but good things to say! We ordered the Greek salad, Greek potatoes, chicken Slouvaki, and vegetables. The food was packaged nicely in trays and large bags to ensure it would travel ok in the car. It was still hot when we served it and our guests raved about it. Will definitely order from Xando again in the future.“
“Loads of options on an attractive menu. Restaurant has a fun vibe with great tiles and flowers hanging from the bar. We went with another couple and ordered drinks that were all well done – we love the chips and homemade roasted tomato salsa that they brought to our table. We then shared the guacamole which was a generous serving and very fresh, I had ceviche with shrimp that was a generous mound served with avocados on top and it was delicious. The service – although they were trying really hard – was slow and very spotty. We ordered drinks and only three of the drinks came and about 10 minutes later the fourth drink came. All our meals came together except for my husbands which came about 15 minutes later, which didn’t make for a smooth me out together. The portions were generous, and the food was fresh, and I would definitely go back. For a family place, the music was blaring and unnecessary, there are a few areas that they could improve on but the reason we went was the food and it was fantastic.Parking: Loads of parking around the building at st the strip shopping center.“
“Absolutely loved this place! The service was great, and the inviting atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a fun night out with friends. Our bartender was very attentive and friendly ensuring that we were happy with our food and drinks. Already can’t wait to go back! Highly recommended!“
“Love coming here on my lunch break the burgers are so juicy ? knock back a couple cold one, they always got a couple games on. Very cozy place ! The staff is great! Always coming with a huge smile and cheerful welcome! Ed is a Rockstar there ! The owner's are Great always accommodating to us best way possible. Definitely recommend it for guys night! My wife always goes there on wine ?? Wednesdays ?“
“If you haven't been here what are you waiting for? This place has such a creative menu with unique but approachable food and drinks, excellent service and a really cool vibe. The prices are very reasonable especially for what the menu has to offer. They have a great brunch on weekends. Happy hour and half off wine Wednesdays are also a great time to go. They also have a private event space in their deli shop which is adjacent to the restaurant. Be sure to check out the subs and salads in the deli shop and also consider hosting a private event in the event space which holds up to 40 people.“
“I have gone here for breakfast twice a week for several years, and I am somewhat pickey when it come to food.The prices are modest considering the quality of the food and serving size.The service is prompt, friendly, and courteous.What more can you ask for or expect.“
