Best Date Night Restaurants in Countryside

We decided to have a late dinner here on a Saturday night. We chose to sit at the chef’s counter. It is warm by this area, but fun and bustling to see them working on all the delicious food. We started with escargot and the scallop appetizers. Both were delicious, and left us wanting more. We shared a lyonnaise salad, the combination of ingredients was flavorful and light, and the dressing was a perfect balance with enough acid. We had the steak frites and the monkfish, both were outstanding. We finished with the new apple tart with crème fraise ice cream. it was a great combination- the tart was buttery, caramelized, cinnamon forward and the ice cream was not too sweet. We had manhattans (well made, but fairly standard), the framboise cocktail (berry flavor, smooth, and light) and the signature petite vie 75 cocktail (citrus forward, sweet, and fresh). Definitely will be back!

Pella Signature in Burr Ridge, IL, delivers an outstanding dining experience with a diverse menu, including a well-crafted kids’ selection. The service was attentive, and the owner personally showed the restaurant’s halal certification, ensuring transparency and comfort. The seating was elegant, creating the ambiance of a high-end downtown Chicago restaurant in the suburbs. The Wagyu short rib entrée was excellent—perfectly tender and full of flavor. Pella Signature is a top choice for fine dining with excellent service and cuisine.

This was our first time eating at Cooper’s for Thanksgiving. It was a great experience and totally worth it! The special menu was perfect and reasonably priced. While there were a lot of diners, it did not feel overly packed. The ambiance was comfortable and we were able to have conversations and hear each other just fine. The wait time and service was excellent! We had a very attentive waiter who ensured we had everything we needed. While it’s nice to have Thanksgiving at home, it’s also nice to have the option to not have to cook the turkey yourself and dine out instead at a great restaurant! Thank you Cooper’s Hawk!

It was a great experience!! Ambiance was perfection, service impeccable and food and drinks were all amazing! We loved it!
