Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Lisle

Whenever I come home and visit from Palm Springs, CA, my go-to place is Hugo's Frog Bar. in downtown Naperville, IL. Today we had Trent as a Server, he was very informative, attentive and hospitable. The crispy fish sliders were excellent and I love that there were so many side choices. I went with the mixed fruit, again, fresh and a great mix. Here's what I like the best - it's the way the Servers play off each other. Water being poured, dishes being picked up, someone serving the meal, coffee refill, etc. They are all in sync. It's really nice to see and the restaurant side was not overly noisy, it was moderate. With my mother wearing hearing aides, it was nice to have a conversation with her and not yell across the table. Great job Hugo's! I'll be back in the spring.

Food and service were excellent. Our server Colton was great.

Love the Holiday Pop-up! And the food and service were excellent, as always! Shay was fabulous and so personable. A great post-Christmas celebration.

Service was outstanding as usual. Recommendations were very thoughtful, especially the wine. Learned that the manager has been there 17 years working his way up. This really demonstrates the level of commitment by staff and ownership. The entire staff are engaging and work hard to make you feel at home. It’s an old building but extremely clean. Even the chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Suggestions: I really don’t have any.

Our server was Anissia. Not only is she professional, but very knowledgeable. She made really great recommendations which made our choices easy. Even though it was Christmas Day, she was very friendly and kind. I did order the chicken Christopher (per her recommendation). I loved it !! My dinner partner had twin tails. We loved everything about our choices!
