Ended up doing 4 courses and only one meal really stood out. The chowder/stew was the winning dish out of all the ones we got. If you get desert make sure you get the heated/spicy strawberries. It was a unique dinning experience and trying to guess what three ingredients made up the mystery drink was really fun! It was a little strange that they didn’t have a drink menu and unfortunately the drinks that they made weren’t that good. Maybe it was an off night but don’t think I’ll be trying again especially do to the price

This was a hidden gem in the suburbs. They have a great tasting menu (you choose the courses) and exceptional service. Free parking in the lot close by as well as street parking. We did the 7 course tasting which was excellent. However, a 5 course tasting is more than enough food. Honestly, each course was delicious but i thought the crisp shrimp was just ok. Highly recommend a drive over here, definitely on par with the Michelin star restaurants in Chicago but not overpriced.

I’ve been to many fine dining restaurants before but this place was by far the WORST. Nothing that we ordered stood out as a remarkable dish, but more along the lines of something I could have easily made myself better or ordered at a much cheaper restaurant with more flavor. I try to eat the food, whether it is my favorite preparation or not…but I had to actually send something back. I never do that. The meal lacked salt or pepper or ANY flavoring at all and was so underwhelming. Do not waste your money.

If you are in for a romanting dinner escape, celebrating a great event or just in a mood for a real treat, this is the right place for you. This small restaurant has been in business for quite some time with the scope of offering one of the most researched food with best raw ingredients in great recipes. When there, you have options to opt for a 3, 4 or 5 meals ( maybe even 6 but I am not sure) to choose among the list. Make sure you determined what the main course is to enjoiy it the most! All delicacies are presented in a stunning way and the portions are balanced to make sure you can enjoy every bite without feeling full.

What an incredible restaurant! This was my first fine dinning experience and boy did I feel fancy. We did the 5 course meal. All of the flavors went together perfectly and surprised me every time. The portions are LARGE and I was stuffed towards the 4th course. Highly recommend.

For a place to have such an exquisite menu and a formidable wait this was a huge disappointment. The way we were served was below standard even for a dive bar with only a single bartender on staff….. the food was great until it wasn’t…. I say these regarding the (hard as raw potatoes) “Avacodo” we were served for a dish. Then to add to the unfortunate chain of events the meal they replaced hers with was a “veil based meal” after she plainly said ,”she doesn’t eat meat of that standard” my date was then almost sliced open by a broken water glass…. At that point I was done and when they brought the check it was still over charged and the wait staff was laughing as we left….. please listen to me when I say this is not a place worth the price nor the food. The only reason why it’s not a single star is a buss person by the name of Evelyne (hopefully spelled correctly) who was great at her job.

What a great, unassuming gem of place to get great food in the suburbs. Execution is great, flavors blend well and dishes are of a good portion. Not creative to the extent of downtown but still good for a Bib Gourmand. Try their assortments and soufflé!

Fantastic all around. A lot of people have never heard of Tallgrass and you could walk right past it and not even know that the restaurant is there. There are no walk ins, no drinks at the bar and reservations are required. Thankfully enough people have heard of Tallgrass to have it come up in discussions about great restaurants. The Service is exceptional from the beginning until the end. The menu provides multiple choices of that are served as either a three, four, five or seven course meal. We all had the 4 courses and we probably did not need the fourth course. I started my meal with House Smoked Salmon Benedict followed with a trio of three soups served in the same bowl, Grilled Lamb rack and chop served with a Butternut squash puree and i finished my meal with a cheese assortment while the others enjoyed the deserts. All in all the food was exceptional as I would expect based upon the review. My favorite was the Smoked Salmon, which was served with a crisp egg, potato disc, caper, spinach and hollandaise sauce. The perfectly soft boiled egg covered the salmon and potatoes just enough to make this dish amazing. My second favorite was the trio of soups in one bowl. The soups were Potato/Leek, Brocolli/Fennel. and Squash/Sage. Not only did this trio of soups provide a very visual experience int he three colors, the taste, both individually and mixed was amazing. All in all an amazing experience in fine dining that I would highly recommend.

This is an amazing dining experience every time! It is the epitome of fine dining. The service is impeccable. Menu items are inventive and always wonderful. The ambience and architecture of the restaurant only add to the incredible food. The prices are certainly higher than average family dining but that is because you will get cuisine that is unique and you will not get these dishes anywhere else. It is worth every penny! If you truly have an appreciation for a meal that is an event you should not miss this restaurant. The chef is obviously passionate about his art and it shows in every dish!
