- LLvipChicago / Illinois •15 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAlways an enjoyable dinner! All beautified for Christmas. Enjoyed watching management mentor the young waitstaff with kindness. Beth, our server was outstanding as was the food!More infoBella MiaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Midlothian•4.8
- NNatashaChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoTop notch! I made a resi for my husband’s birthday & had to move the time around a bunch of times bc of scheduling changes. They were very accommodating about it (which I was really surprised by- even I thought it was getting obnoxious at one point!). They got us booked, welcomed us warmly when we arrived and invited us to sit at the bar as they got our table ready (after all that, we ended up being early for our resi!). The wine was great and Andrew (bartender) makes a fabulous gin martini! I had the pistachio crusted grouper (SO good!) and my husband had the chef recommended Almond Crusted Mahi-Mahi (we’re pescatarian so…) which he really enjoyed. Our waiter, Patrick, was lovely and right on top of things too! Attentive without being overbearing or hovering and “Mr. on the Spot” when we did need something. It was a really nice evening— had a lovely romantic dinner! They even comped our dessert as a bday treat (some chocolate truffles with some sort of berry drizzle— just the right amount of sweet at the end of a delicious meal). We’ll definitely be back.More infoCooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant - Orland Park, ILPrice: Moderate• American• Orland Park•4.5

The south suburbs region of Chicago features a wide variety of different types of restaurants that please all palates. Fine dining is available throughout the south suburbs as there are numerous establishments where you can order an elegant meal.
