Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in East Elmhurst

What a delight -- from the warm welcome we got on arrival, to super-attentive and knowledgeable service, to delicious food. The bread was so fresh and tasty, it didn't need the butter provided; the drinks were delectable, and everyone's entrees -- steak to salad to gnocchi -- were perfect. Top that off with the sticky pudding split among the four of us, just the capper we needed.

2nd time to Red Rooster for the weekend brunch. Food is so good, we bought his cookbook after first visit. Well trained wait staff, great easy going yet professional vibe.

If you’re looking for a stunning rooftop spot with great vibes, this place is a must-visit! The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the ambiance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The snacks are on point—perfectly portioned, flavorful, and creatively presented. Whether you’re into classic tapas or something with a modern twist, there’s plenty to choose from. I especially loved truffle fries absolutely delicious! Overall, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or celebrate a special evening. Lana was so nice Highly recommended

We were there to celebrate a birthday and the food was amazing and our server was great. The one issues i had and i have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and this is the first time that i have ever had an issue. Other servers and busboys kept coming over to the table and wanted to take our plates. It was very annoying and we felt rushed. The once good thing is that i went and spoke to the manager and he was shocked and said he would talk with the staff and he did the right thing, I will not let this stop me from going back.

The pasta making was fun. We had great company next to us and since we were traveling we gave them our pasta. The portions of each course of the meal are huge! Don’t order the same as your partner. Try different things and share! We love Aunt Jake’s. This was our 4th time to dine with them, first time making pasta!
