We have been fortunate to have hosted many special occasion dinners in the western and southwestern Chicago suburbs at many if not most of the “usual” nicer restaurants, including Morton’s, Gibsons, Capitol Grill, Sullivan’s, Seasons, Hugo Frog Bar, etc. And they have all been good and in some cases exceptional. Somehow we had not discovered Trulucks. Until last night when we went there for our daughter’s birthday. Wow. We were extremely impressed and have a new favorite spot. All the food was exceptional - sea bass, lobster thermidor, scallops, salmon, lobster bisque, and seafood platter. And our server, Francine, was really outstanding. Present, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, without any aspect of pretension or overbearing. Really well done overall and we all look forward to returning soon.

Never disappointed at Nativo! Good service, great food and decent prices. I had the chicken fajitas and my spouse had the steak quesadillas. Delicious! The real highlight was the guacamole made fresh at our table side. So good! We will be back again soon!

As part of my team Christmas outing we went to dinner at DiPescara. After going to the Chicago Botanical Gardens light show it was the perfect place—friendly and attentive staff, good selection of beverages, specials, appetizers, salads, entrees and wine. Everyone loved their meal and the prices were very reasonable.
