Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Woodridge

Amazing food and service! Thank you for making my partner’s birthday special!

Food was incredible!! We had the muscles and the ravioli and both exceeded our expectations. The Christmas decor was up and it was so festive and cute. Our server Paul was so attentive and the entire staff was so nice from the minute we entered to when we left!

We love Parker’s and have eaten there several times. The atmosphere is of an old country home. It has a separate bar area which is noisy but the main dining area is comfortable. Tables have adequate spacing and you can converse with each other Drinks are strong and fairly priced. Rather than a martini last night my wife had an Arnold Palmer for $4.50. T We had a delicious huge Pear Salad with sliced pears, soft cheese, nuts and we couldn’t finish it eating it together. I generally have the lobster bisque which has best flavor consistency and taste My wife had the Scallops delicious and substantial We took home the remainder I had the whitefish cut thin and served on cedar plank with whipped mashed potatoes.. not just mashed but really whipped with the greenest sautéed spinach. Dessert we shared a caramel budino with chocolate crumbs whipped cream. For $1 more we take the jar and lid home with us The cost was $129.77 and tip. Normal taxes only. No extra fees for inside staff and we tip more as a result Restaurant has Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary desert plates prepared The service staff have a lot of tables but cover them well without appearing rushed. Mariana A was our server. A service and restaurant manager, beverage manager, reservations manager very very busy. Parker’s is well run and for us both elegant and joyous.

The restaurant was very good. Food was excellent and the owner took the time to sit with us and have a conversation. Highly recommend it.

I cannot count the number of visits we've had to The Girl and the Goat, but it continues to be a favorite for both personal and professional dining. I brought three colleagues, who have never been, to the restaurant for dinner. One diner is vegetarian, but there are menu offerings and options available to provide them with enough to eat. All three were quite impressed with the food. My only complaint would be our table was right next to the kitchen, which can be loud. However, we made due, and had an enjoyable meal. Service is always very good, and the cocktails are fun. If you're interested in dining, make sure you book way ahead, as there is almost no chance to get a table day of.
