Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Hillside

Wow wow wow! This is the first time I am going to leave a review for any restaurant I have been to and I think this is Deserving of more than that! First off, The manager BETH is amazing. With the way the place was packed. She made time out to check on each table and made sure everything was up to par! I called before coming in to plan a surprise proposal for my girlfriend and this was the only Place that made me feel so comfortable and I spoke to BETH on the phone and she assured me everything would work out and to my surprise. It was much more than I expected and brought my girlfriend to tears! If you ever find yourself here, I Recommend asking to be served by Alex! He was so kind, had a very detailed response to every question and knew the Whole menu to heart, I for once thought I was in Greece for a second. The Enclosed Terrace gave a new look to what Private dining should feel like, it was so intimate in there, the flowers overhead and the light bulb hanging over the table was beautiful. A Dj was playing and he was great too, I have never danced at a dinner table before, they gave out fireworks when the DJ made some transition and it was an highlight for us. So going on a Saturday to experience the in house DJ play is also recommended. Now go the drinks and food. I had the APHRODITE and the orange peel that was in the drink gave it the kick it needed. It was a little bit sweet just a little but the pistachio and Patron blended so well it could be my second favorite cocktail of all time, my girl had the MYKONIAN MEZZ which she says was a 7/10. Do not have the details on why she rated it that as she had so much fun and slept off on me! For Appetizers, we had the Grilled meatballs and when I tell you I never knew meat and Yogurt could ever taste that good. I was a little bit against it when I saw the menu but Alex reassured us it was one of the best and most ordered Item on the appetizer menu, and surprisingly it was great! The crispy Calamari was the secon

Really amazing service and food. We had drinks and appetizers before going to the Arts Center including the Serbian bread and a plate with speck and burrata and everything was delicious. It’s such a pretty room with a great soundtrack and atmosphere and the service was so personal. It was one of the top restaurant experiences I’ve probably ever had.

Francescas in Elmhurst was great, I always love some good Italian food! Went with my fiancée to celebrate and the server took such great care of us! Manager was nice, food was amazing and the ambiance is great there! Definitely will be back again soon

Great choice. Every dish was top level, well imagined and expertly crafted. I highly recommend aba.

Donny G’s is our go to spot in the neighborhood. The food is great and the staff is friendly and welcoming.
