We’ve been hesitant to visit the Walnut Room due to food allergies but decided to give it a try. From the moment we sat down, Jesus, our waiter, was so attentive. He noticed our allergen card in the table and immediately addressed it, letting us know he find out anything we needed to know and would talk to the chef personally to see what our son could eat. We’ve always wanted to visit this beautiful restaurant but never did out of fear of allergies. But Jesus helped to make this experience amazing for our whole family. Thank you for taking the time to understand our allergies and walk us through the menu. It was a great start to the holiday season. We will be back again!

I hesitate to let everyone know how fabulous Eden is, but that's a bit selfish. EVERYTHING on the menu (and our group ordered a lot of different items) was perfectly cooked, creative and layered with flavor. The service, as always was outstanding, the cocktails were delicious and everyone seems committed to making sure you enjoy the evening (or lunch or brunch).

Met friends from LA. One friend is not a fan of Mediterranean food but was extremely impressed by the food and dining on the river. We used to frequent the original venue in Lombard. Same wonderful/incredible food but high end atmosphere. The location has expanded menu with alcohol. Incredible experience. Great food! We will go back again! We miss her in the western suburbs!
