Family get together dinner, some had been here before and 3 of us it was are 1st time here. Very enjoyable dining. Owner stopped by table to introduce himself and see if we were enjoying the experience at his restaurant, very nice to see how he watched over everything. Very easy to read wine list and food menus as when you open them they light up. The atmosphere was very interesting as the building is an old church built in 1928 and converted to this restaurant. Stained glass, fireplace, vaulted ceiling, and ivy covered walls outside make this a very unique place. GREAT service, easy to carry on a conversation, many candles create a pleasant atmosphere. Will enjoy returning in the summer as they have outside dining too. If you want a pleasant dining experience, this is a place to try.Parking: Large public parking garage behind restaurant and a few street parking spots in front of restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: No real obstacles in the way, and elevator to allow access to additional seating on 2nd floor, washrooms are also located on 2nd floor .
Booked a table well advanced. Knew already the food was overpriced for what it was, but really dug the look of the atmosphere on the web site. Upon arrival, my husband and I were escorted and shoved into a cramped ugly side room that had zero visibility of what you see on the website. Dont be a chump like me, demand a table in the main room..

honestly, i'd rate this place a 4.5 out of 5. food is good and cooked well (flavors are a little underwhelming but fine all things considered). their menu isn't extensive, but if they do a good a job with non-seafood dishes, i'm confident they'd do well with their meat dishes. jenaye, our waitress, was attentive but not overbearing. the real draw to this place is the ambiance. great place to go for lunch/dinner or date night. love that this place feels like it's located in (what appears to be) a quaint little town as well. definitely looking forward to another visit in the next future.
Such a beautifully restored restaurant. The food and service was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Celebrated my one year anniversary with my love. He has been wanting to take me here forever. It's a very nice looking restaurant that use to be a church. It's very romantic. We had a bottle of moscato and it was delicious. For n appetizer we ordered the bbq pig wings, they were delicious and tinder. For an entree i ordered the parmesan crusted salmon. it was delicious, seasoned perfectly very yummy. The waiter was very attentive and knew the menu well. I'd definitely try this place out again!

First time at this restaurant and major disappointment as I came here with high recommendations. First of all I have to give kudos to the beautiful restaurant decore and architect - it is breath taking!. However, I give overall my side salad, main dish and dessert a 1 and if I could a zero since this is suppose to be an upscale restaurant. I order a small Cesar salad and there was hardly any flavor to the salad. My main dish was an 8 oz filet mignon with the traditional grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. The main dish was about $50 and such a major disappointment. The filet mignon lacked so much in flavor. It tasted like the chef had cooked medium rare as I requested and seasoned it with lots of pepper and nothing more. It was so terrible that I could take about 3 bites that I asked the person that was having dinner with me to taste to assure i was not me. She also agreed. I hope this restaurant will read and work on this. It been over 15 years that I moved into the city. I grew up in Winfield and so coming to Wheaton to have dinner was such a disappointment.

We had a very nice dinner experience. It’s a busy place so making a reservation is a good idea. Our cocktails and wine were very good as well as the Burrata appetizer. We got the jambalaya, seafood pappardelle and crab cake dinner. All were good but my pasta was overcooked in my pappardelle and the crab cakes are very small, like appetizer sized. Our flourless chocolate cake, key lime pie and cappuccino were excellent! Shoutout to Didia for taking care of us so well. They have backlit menus which is a great feature, makes it so much easier to read the menu! Also, if you want to save 5%, bring cash as they tack on a 5% credit card fee.
Very nice place. Bourbon chiken skewers a little over cooked, great flavor though. We will be back.

There are many great things I can say about this restaurant. I actually chose this restaurant as a surprise location for my girlfriend and I to dine at. I saw this restaurant online and its description of "a restaurant that used to be a Catholic chapel." This sounded too good to pass up on. As we entered it definitely was well above my expectations and looking at my girlfriend, she was in awe of the beautiful restaurant (as was I). A very romantic and upscale setting, our waiter was very nice and patient. The food was fairly portioned and we both enjoyed our meals. We would definitely recommend this place for anniversaries and special events, or even if you want to check out a cool and unique restaurant. It's definitely worth checking out just for the setting alone. You won't be disappointed :)

Food was okay but my fiance ordered the jambalaya. Which the server didn't informed us that it was super spicy. The menu it self didn't indicate that either. I reserve my time online and reconfirmed the following day and ask for a food seat.. they informed me that anywhere we sit there will be great views. Which sure that was true but could of placed us by the fireplace seating, but they did not. A great touch to our dinner was when the server after dinner provided us with a free Crème brûlée and wished us a great anniversary.Parking: We got lucky and found parking but if the area was any busier we probably wouldn't have been able to find any parking
