Best Historic Restaurants in Elmwood Park

Dine during Thanksgiving and their prix menu got great choices. Service is really superb too. Will be back!

The cafe of my dreams!! Had the most wonderful experience at this Cafe. We spent half of our day in here. After we had brunch we walked & admired the beautiful Gallery. Thank you RH you are beautiful to say the least. 😍

Due to a glut of options, there are few places in Chicago that spark the “when are we coming back?” conversation before the main course is finished. This is one of those places. The dishes were comfortable yet complex, making you realize, there’s a talent-level in the kitchen that makes them impossible to replicate. Each bite from first course through dessert was exceptional, which is a feat considering we were last seating on a Tuesday night. What made the experience was the service. Lauren S. was welcoming and informative without being pushy. She deftly answered all of our questions that felt like she was guiding us through the menu based on her expertise not her opinion. This included steering us away from certain dishes when she understood our flavor profiles, and explaining things without ruining the surprise. Her attention to little things without feeling crowded made us realize what front of house talent does to heighten the experience. The only knock was the nitty-picky things on the space. The bathroom was a bit disheveled, there was a crud on the handle of a fork (nothing on the tongs, I checked before using it). Extremely minor unless you’re judging for Micheline stars. Simply put, where it matters everything is well thought out from concept to execution. If you can get in, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

The one steakhouse we had on our schedule for a week in Chicago, and one we will return to. Incredible attentive service, and steaks cooked to exactly how you desire - for us its med/well which is not a fan of most steak lovers, but this caramelized char on outside whilst just pink and juicy on inside was perfection. Very approachable wine list with a good range by the glass and solid bottles under $100. Of course a fantastic and wide range beyond these price points.
