Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Rosemont

This was our first trip to Francesca - Lincolnwood, as it only recently opened. We were great fans of Francesca's in our Edgewater neighborhood and were sorry to see it close several years ago. We were very favorably impressed with Francesca - Lincolnwood. For starters, there is a convenient and spacious parking garage right next door. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, who we noticed was keeping busy throughout the evening helping out in various other capacities to keep everything running smoothly. The menu and wine list both had lots of choices, and the portions were generous, leaving us enough leftovers to take home for a second meal the next night. The Italian chopped salad was especially delicious and is highly recommended. We also found it hard to choose from the variety of desserts, but all were great.

Excellent food, really great. We had the steak Perry’s and the filet both cooked perfectly. Kinda dark, hard to read the menu and slightly loud, but we are both north of 60. Service was polite and attentive. Interesting observation, I ordered a glass of wine, there are 2 options and prices, the waitress didn’t clarify or ask which I wanted, she just brought the larger more expensive size. Expensive, just under $300 including tip for 2 people, 1 lobster bisque (which was excellent) 1 wedge salad, 2 entrees, 1 dessert and 2 glasses of wine. The food and service was excellent, kinda pricey but we will be back.

Great ambiance and food. Would definitely go again.
