Restaurants near Kishwaukee River Forest Preserve

Our group of 8 chose an off time to dine and had the dining room to ourselves. Our server, Danielle, was patient, helpful and efficient. We had a variety of entrees; all excellent. Portions were large. Wine was good; not great.

Pretty good dinner. Everything is ala cart so keep that in mind. We sat in an area with 4 TV’s one set on music videos that were a little too loud. Our waitress, Mariah was fantastic.

I love the igloos. A very cool atmosphere over looking the city at night. My only issue would be trying to eat the food. You aren’t eating at a table, it’s a small table in the middle. Which I totally get, which creates the cozy feel. The shareable food selection was very tasty. Minor inconvenience. It was great for just having drinks and appetizers, but not a meal. Would go back again.

I ordered tonic on ice and the bartender decided to put gin in the glass.

Thanks for staying open on Christmas Day! We’ll be back!
