Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Forest Park

We had a wonderful evening at Elske! We started the evening with delicious cocktails and then chose from the a la carte menu. Every dish was excellent. Atmosphere was warm and the restaurant had good energy - and service was spectacular.

We chose the restaurant as it was accessible from our hotel on a really cold night and reviews seemed good. The space was nicely decorated and comfortable with a lively atmosphere. The waiter was efficient and cordial. Our drinks were excellent and we found the food to be so as well. We shared an order of the cheese curds with rémoulade to start; it was a generous portion indeed and delectable. I had an excellent prime rib done perfectly medium rare with a beautiful and tasty crust with mashed potatoes, jus and horseradish, which I was unable to finish. My companion had the rotisserie chicken which he declared to be nicely seasoned and moist. Again, it was a generous portion of half chicken, baby potatoes and baby carrots. We had no space left for dessert, but enjoyed the meal thoroughly.

Beautiful heated patio, very comfortable even with the weather being in the 20’s. Excellent food and service

I recently dined at the Ralph Lauren Restaurant in Chicago and had an exceptional experience. Our server, John, was truly spectacular—attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made sure our dining experience was perfect from start to finish. We were lucky to have a beautiful window view, which added to the overall ambiance and made our meal even more enjoyable. The food was exquisite, and the elegant setting made for a memorable evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or a lovely night out in the city!

Our server was excellent! Great guacamole to accompany Bloody Marys followed by traditional eggs Benedict All served up professionally in a polished welcoming atmosphere. Pure fun, staffers were all so personable as were patrons
