    We were a group of seven. They were very accommodating with giving us separate checks. Our table was very nice and service was exceptional. I think most of the food was good. Two of us got the Sunday prime rib and it was somewhat overcooked and dry. Nothing special about it so that was a bit disappointing. We did not send it back. In all other respects, it was a great experience. I would just not order that dish in the future.

    Food is always very, very good, occasionally excellent….service tonight was in the bar, which was crowded & loud but still very good. the wine list for Suburban restaurant is unbelievable. Some of the best fish in the western suburbs. Great place for business meeting, or with foodie & wine friends.  they also have some great private rooms for anywhere from 10 to 45.

    One of the front desk managers was pretty abrupt in our brief conversation requesting a change in the setup of our table…. We were a party of 8 people and I kindly requested to possibly turn our table into a square just as those in front of the kitchen by the restaurant entrance. One of the front managers refused in quite an abrupt manner. I was told “NO” in quite a loud and abrupt way ….. After I inquired further, I was given a hurried explanation of some vague safety regulations, which obviously were irrelevant in the particular space. This was unacceptable especially when such a large group is dining in such a nice restaurant!

    Food was good but service wasn’t there. Offered bread but never brought it, waited quite a bit for a server and when she finally arrived took forever to visit our table again when we saw for for a long time just talking with other servers instead of working
    Parkers' Restaurant & BarResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for bringing the issue of no bread being brought to your table to my attention. I will look into what happened. In addition, I apologize for the slow service and at your convenience, please give me a call so I can follow up with the server. I am unable to look you up in our system under the Diner414 label and I'd like to fix these issues. (630) 960-5700 -Fred J. Gore

    We celebrated two birthdays. Our server was amazing we seated at a wonderful table. We could talk and relax. No one tried to boot us out after our two hour stay they said just complementary dessert. That was very nice. I would recommend this restaurant very highly.
