Best Date Night Restaurants in Des Plaines

Our server Leslie is professional, knowledgeable and attentive! Excellent! It was over 50° outside and the heat was on inside. We brought it to their attention and the manager came over to thank us. Overall, a very nice experience!

Four folks in our group. All ordered a different entree. Everyone raved about their food. We shared two desserts, both were delicious...the warm apple turnover and the banana's foster. Very busy with some private groups behind pop up screens. Wait staff and the associates were very efficient and timely.....nice group of folks at surrounding table made for a fun evening.

My niece and I had the pleasure of dining at Cooper's Hawk Morton Grove today, with a reservation for 2:30 PM on a Saturday. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the staff, setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable experience. The restaurant was impeccably clean, and the inviting aroma made the ambiance even more delightful. Shortly after being seated, we were introduced to our waitress, Sonja, whose exceptional service made our visit truly extraordinary. Sonja approached our table with a warm smile and exuded patience, attentiveness, and professionalism throughout our entire meal. She was not only knowledgeable but also communicated with such ease that we felt completely comfortable. Although I’ve visited several Cooper’s Hawk locations and have always encountered friendly servers, Sonja’s service was on a whole different level. She didn’t just serve us; she created a personalized and memorable experience that felt like dining with family. Sonja’s ability to connect with her guests is unmatched. She has a unique way of making you feel valued, as if your visit is her top priority. She thoughtfully introduced us to a new sparkling wine, which had delightful almond notes and a semi-sweet flavor. As someone who usually sticks to the same wine choices, I was hesitant at first but trusted her recommendation. I’m so glad I did! My niece and I fell in love with this new discovery and even left with a couple of bottles to take home. It’s rare to come across a server who not only understands the menu and wine list so thoroughly but also takes the time to share that knowledge in a way that feels inviting and personal. What stood out the most was the care Sonja took to ensure our experience was perfect. She checked on us consistently without being intrusive, always ensuring that our needs were met and that we were enjoying every aspect of our meal. Despite tending to other tables, Sonja made us feel like we were her only guests.

Absolutely loved our experience! The ambience was perfect, and the attentive waiters made sure we were well taken care of. Gonzalo went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The meats, cheeses, salad bar, and desserts were all exceptional. Highly recommend!

Everything was truly OUTSTANDING! Excellent server, Christy! Meals were perfectly prepared and delicious. Live music was fantastic with great ambiance. Restaurant was busy with wonderful energy and all drinks and food served with perfect timing. Excited to return!
