Glenn King
Loved this place in the heart of downtown Downer’s Grove, a short walk from their train station! Beautifully updated historic old building that has a very open spacious interior with the high ceilings.

I love this place! I just had my bridal shower here and the food was amazing and the service was even better. Stasi worked with me and was able to customize the menu just how I wanted. As a bride who wanted to minimize any additional stress and at the same time have a beautiful shower I couldn’t have picked a better place! Highly recommend!

Nick
Definitely recommend! Atmosphere was cool and unique. Got nervous when I saw the menu and it had dishes from all over the world, knowing no one can do everything well. Guess this place is the exception? Everything was amazing and would definitely recommend as a place that has something for everyone.

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Downers Grove. The cauliflower appetizer was amazing. The Paella main course is unmatched. The espresso martini is perfection. Alberto makes a mean latte! It’s an amazing place. A must try.

Dinner out… Grilled octopus was great but too small of a portion for two people, Oysters tasted fresh so thats always a good thing, Paella was disappointing, it was missing the socarrat in the bottom and was under seasoned. Bacon wrap porkchop the fiance said was good, the grilled Alaskan king crab legs were phenomenal, cheesecake was good but I was never a fan of any cheesecakes so 🙂 overall I’ll give the restaurant an 8.5 because service was attentive and swift…

I didn’t know what to make of this place. Menu is all over the place but somehow works together. Everything except for the shrimp pasta was amazing. Pasta was good, but not much flavor. Grilled octopus is a must try. The roasted cauliflower was a party in my mouth. Definitely want to go back and try other small plates.

We loved our dinner here on a Sunday night. Our dog loved the outdoor area with artificial turf. The food and service are the real stars. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed the outside sitting area, atmosphere was nice. I can’t say the same thing for the food, shawarma and hummus were mediocre. Matter of fact, it wasn’t even shawarma, it was something like a taco with a pita bread. I recommend cocktails and oysters.

The decor of this place is very well coordinated. I especially love the design of the bar. I usually don’t like dining at bar seats but the aesthetic made it an enjoyable experience. The server/bartender was also very good at managing all of his tables. The porkbelly and goat cheese bruschetta was amazing. So was the crudo dish we had, and the salad too. No bland flavors. I only wouldn’t order the paella again. I was curious how it would be with pasta instead of rice, but I was dumb for feeling a bit disappointed after trying lol. I appreciate that they offered that switch-up, knowing traditional paella takes forever to get out to the table.
