Located just west of downtown Naperville, Mesón Sabika has been serving the community since 1990. Built in 1847, the pristine four-acre estate and beautiful mansion welcome you before you reach the driveway. Whether you dine in one of the mansion’s eight dining rooms decorated in traditional Spanish décor, attend a wedding or corporate event in the pavilion, or sit out back on the patio, the cuisine of Spain and delicious drinks make for an unparalleled dining experience. For a quiet, romantic dining experience we recommend a week night reservation. The small mansion rooms fill up on the weekends, making for a more lively dining experience. Our dress code is "proper casual/casual dressy." Gentlemen, we respectfully ask that you cover up your arms (no tank tops). And ladies, we ask that the majority of your midriff is covered (no bandeaux’s). We ask that everyone remove their baseball hats when dining inside the mansion. Thank you!

    Overall we had a great dinner experience with a good server. We really enjoyed most of the food we ordered. The mussels and goat cheese appetizers were very delicious. The swordfish fish and chips entree was loved by everyone at the table. Others at the table ordered the duck leg and Wagyu linguine and the short rib pot pie and they really enjoyed their entrees. The only dish that was less that expected was the wagyu flat iron steak as the teriyaki sauce was too salty and the portion size in comparison to the other dishes was too small for the price point. Overall we did enjoy our dinner experience and would dine here again.
