Best Wineries in Chicago Ridge

Lex our server was fabulous from start to finish! He explained the starters and entrees beautifully. We got the braised short ribs which were flavorful and tender just as described. It was our first time, from the host warmly greeting us while they gave the kids a stuffie each. The girls ordered from the kids menu which gave them a beautiful mug to take home! The fairy that went our granting wishes was truly magical! And to top it all off they took complimentary family photo to remember the outing. Definitely will be back and start a new family Christmas tradition! Thank you again Lex and staff for making it a very special and memorable evening!

First time in the restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience.

I had the drunken shrimp appetizer. Always very good. Cooper's Hawk white wine, and savignon blanc wine Both very good. Had the chicken madeira entre. Always excellent.

When we arrived for our reservation, they were running about 1/2 hour behind and the place was packed. We went to the tasting bar, and asked for a sample of the wine of the month. About 20 minutes later, the server gave us another tasting, since we were waiting so long. After 45 minutes we were seated, and the manager apologetically offered us a complementary appetizer, which was very kind. Our server Lisa was delightful, and most of the food was good, but unfortunately my entree came more "well-done" than medium as requested. The server offered to get another, but I declined. Once again, the manager returned apologizing, and took it off of our bill. Since it was my birthday, I got two lovely truffles from Lisa, along with the dessert we ordered. All-in-all, despite the few hiccups, we had a lovely dinner. The fact that they made such an effort to compensate for the evening's delays and errors, shows how well they treat their customers, and why we love Cooper's Hawk Burr Ridge. The staff is dedicated, and it shows!

Always great! Christmas Day Dinner is usually stressful and expensive at a restaurant. It was perfect at Francesca’s last night. They did a great job allowing off the menu selections, friendly service and a beautiful atmosphere. But, pls for the love of Italian food, bring back the old Ceasar Salad. The new recipe is not good. The old one was perfection!!!
