Restaurants near Dragon Lake County Forest Preserve

When me and my husband are in the mood for Mediterranean, we always go to Vasili’s. I had the Bakalao with the Skordalia and hubby had the Pork chop with sweet potatoes. Siba was great with our orders making sure that my husband had options due to dietary restrictions. 5 out of 5 stars for overall food, service and ambience.

I have been a Gordon Ramsay fan for 25 years, until today I had never been able to dine at one of his signature restaurants. My wife and I made the trip to the Ramsays Kitchen in Naperville, IL for her 40th Birthday. It was everything we could have hoped for being such fans of Hell’s Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, etc. Started our evening with some cocktails and an appetizer of the Parker rolls. They were the best dinner roll I ever had. Toasted Brioche roll, covered in a herb butter and sea salt. Crispy on the top with air like fluffiness everywhere else. My wife had the Shrimp and Lobster Pasta and I had the legendary Beef Wellington. It was everything I hoped it would be and worth every penny. My wife was also kind enough to share a bite of her pasta for a bite of the Wellington….worth it for both of us! This meal was also accompanied by a side of their famous Truffle Fries, which were cooked to perfection, the truffle aioli was great! As this was a Birthday, it was celebrated with a Sticky toffee pudding, which is topped with Vanilla ice cream, and served with a caramel sauce. They brought my wife’s with a candle and said “Don’t worry, we won’t sing, but wish you the happiest of birthdays!”Extremely polite and caring staff. The pudding was rich but smooth, sweet and savory, creamy, salty and I would have this any time. Multiple staff members wished my wife a happy birthday, and truly made this a personalized experience. Would recommend this establishment to EVERYONE. Thank you Ramsay’s Kitchen for a wonderful evening and a memorable experience!

We appreciated my husband’s birthday being recognized. We were sat in a side room which had much more ambience than the main room and we loved that. Great attentive service and delicious food!

Celebrated my Daughters 21st Bday dinner, and all was fantastic especially Jarod Brown the Manger and our server Richard they went over and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

We had a wonderful lunch experience. From the warm welcome upon entering and throughout the entire meal. Our wait person (Yudit) was very friendly and helpful with explaining different dishes to us and making recommendations. each dish we orders was prepared to perfection. We have enjoyed many meals with Meson Sabinka over the years and we plan on many more.
