Best Date Night Restaurants in Normal Heights

Great live band playing jazz music. Server was really friendly and attentive to the table. Enjoyed my birthday dessert while my friends got some drinks and we watched the band. Had a lovely evening!

Had to place our entire order at once — server wouldn’t take drink order first, so around 45 minutes into the reservation, wine finally came out. Went on a Tuesday and the noise level was insane. Could hardly hear my dinner date unless nearly shouting. Acoustics of the space are just awful. Food was pretty good, though, garlic bread was like a savory cinnamon roll, pizza was decent. Not sure I’d return though, given the experience itself.

Everything was exceptional here! Attentive service, great choices of food and drinks, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. We ordered way too much food because we wanted to try everything.

We haven't been here in over a year, but it won't be long before we'll be back. The food was a wow which rarely happens in my dining experience. We like to sample a lot of different items, so we spent a lot of time on the "Bites" part of the menu, and it was all fantastic. Each item we had was very well crafted and well executed to deliver some extraordinary flavor combinations. The Oysters, Tostados, Handrolls, and Steak tartar were all highlights and not what you would normally expect for these types of dishes. the Dover Sole was very enjoyable, but it was a special so won't always be there. Not a huge wine list but well covered and you could get many nice wines by the glass that are normally reserved for by the bottle lists. I highly recommend going, we will go back very soon.

I am beyond satisfied with my experience. I had been waiting for a year for the chance to have this experience. So when I randomly caught an open reservation I had to take it. The food was amazing, the beef short rib was amazingly tender. I was honestly drawn to the ambience and was blown away. The snow falling at the top of the hour was a great addition. We walked the venue and took lots of pictures as well.
