Restaurants near P A Nehring Forest Preserve

We ere enjoying family from out of town. My father in-law order a dish he did not like and not only did the restaurant replace it with a dish of another choice they did not charge him for his main dish. The food / service especially with the owner was outstanding. One of our favorite restaurants and will continue to go back again. Thank you

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Joline during my visit, and I have to say, she is hands down the best server I’ve ever encountered! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an upbeat attitude that set the tone for an amazing experience. Joline was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in at just the right moments. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive—she recommended a dish I wouldn’t have chosen on my own, and it turned out to be my new favorite! What stood out most was her genuine care for her customers. She made us feel like VIPs, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find someone who truly loves what they do, but with Joline, it shows. If you’re lucky enough to have Joline as your server, you’re in for a treat. I’ll definitely be coming back, and a big part of that is because of her outstanding service.

The food is absolutely delicious. I had the steak which was done just perfectly and my wife had the linguine which she said was perfectly al dante. We also had the calamari,which was very good. Our server was outstanding, and the noise level was very low, so you could easily carry on a conversation. The only negative I would possibly have would be as we were leaving. I told the hostess that we had a great server and that it seemed to me like she was working the whole room. She snapped back that our server was just a drama queen. I think she thought the server was complaining to me, which was absolutely not the case, as she was incredibly professional. Rather, it was an observation on my part. Kind of left a final bad taste on an otherwise perfect evening. Maybe the hostess was just having a bad day. We will absolutely go back and enjoy another meal there. Maybe they'll be a more professional hostess next time.

Wonderful food and service! The music was loud, but bearable given the food was amazing.

Typical Red Lobster experience. Good rolls, nice salad, good shrimp as I got the Walt’s, scampi and the new Dragon (a bit too sweet) all were delicious.
