Best Casual Restaurants in Downers Grove

Food was absolutely amazing! Our server Ursela was so nice and made sure to make my birthday special. The manager Nikki stopped by to check on us. She was amazing! OpenTable only gives me 5, but I'm rating it 6 stars! Thank you!

Took a little bit of time past our reservation to get seated but server was great. He was prompt and kept our drinks filled. The food was outstanding. I was a little disappointed I couldn’t do the surf and turf special GF. I would have been fine with the lobster minus the crab filling. Maybe there was more to it to make it GF. Did the filet mignon and it was great! Always happy to dine here!!!

Have always wanted to go to Benihana. I lived in Japan for 6 years so am a fan of tepanyaki. My husband and I chose seating in the bar area since it was just the two of us. We were seated in a quiet, intimate area next to windows overlooking the snow covered Japanese garden. Beautiful view despite the urban setting! We selected meals from the specialties section of the menu - excellent value for what you get: grilled filet mignon, veggies, shrimp, lobster with soup, salad, green tea and sherbet! The food was fantastic! Grilled to perfection with ginger and garlic sauce and a mustard sauce for added umami. Delicious! You don’t have to be seated at the communal grill with a view of the chef for an excellent meal. Can’t wait to go back!!

Another wonderful experience at Beatrix! The Mushroom Quinoa burger and Ginger Chicken Kale salad were both excellent. Out service was also great. We will be back.

As always, our experience at Lucca's last evening was amazing. The food was absolutely delizioso, and the ambience was wonderful. What really set the evening apart, though, was the service. Our server (I believe his name was Luis) was next-level. He was quietly attentive, yet engaged with us in a couple of brief conversations that brought smiles to our table. His knowledge of the menu was great. I would request sitting at one of his tables next time.
