    Always a great experience at Molly’s! An old family friend brought us on our recommendation and everyone loved it. We had the Chili sweet ribs and Planko crusted walleye followed by the lemon bar and a brownie with ice cream. Drinks were all amazing as well!

    My wife and I are frequent diners at Molly’s, it is our favorite restaurant and our recent dinner didn’t disappoint! Burrata in marinara, shrimp risotto and hamachi sushi, all delicious! Service is always fantastic and they treated my wife for her birthday so nicely, many thanks. I told our server “we are always spoiled” when we come to Molly’s! See you again soon!

    Love, Love Molly's restaurant! We've been dining there since it opened. The staff does an outstanding job with recommendations. My favorite dessert is the burnt caramel ice cream.

    We live a short drive away and Molly's has become one of our favorite date-night places. It's not easy, especially in Northwest IL, to find a place where my meat-loving spouse and my vegan self can both leave a restaurant equally happy, but Molly's fits the bill. They have a seasonal menu but usually have at least one vegan option on the menu - and they really know how to cook tofu right, so if there's a tofu option get it and you won't be disappointed! The chef is often even able to whip up something special and unique that's not on the menu, like last visit when I was treated to a delicious vegan dessert as well. The service is fantastic and the ambiance perfect for date-night, meeting friends, or even families with older children (not much little -kid friendly food, although if you're raising a mini foodie they might be alright). The prices are a good value for the quality, freshness, and creativity that goes into the meal. Also really appreciate their creativity in mocktails.

    Marvelous Molly's! That is how we feel when we join them for Dinner. Walking in the door we saw Ben sitting at a round table with his dining parents such as welcoming sight. Our table was ready for us to enjoy our Teriyaki Salmon dinners with crispy brussel sprouts and well roasted sweet potatoes. YUMMY! All cooked perfectly to our choice of doneness and just the right amount of teriyaki sauce not swimming thankfully. To complement this a nice glass of wine and great service from our waitress. In addition it is nice to see a familiar waiters face and he was so kind to stop by and say HI. Can't wait to come back and enjoy another fabulous dinner with you.
