Best Authentic Restaurants in West Chicago

We went in the Saturday following Valentine’s Day and enjoyed the prix-fixe Valentine’s dinner. The food options were good. Our dinner, wine selection and service were very good.

My wife and I tried this excellent restaurant for the first time Feb 15th. They had their regular menu and an expertly selected prix fix menu for Valentines weekend. It was def a great value with 3 choices for each setting, appetizer, soup or salad, entree and dessert. We will now have to come back to try the regular menu as there were so many steak and seafood choices. The waitress said they have a special menu every Friday to try as well. Really delicious dinner. We had their regular menu filets with lobster, whipped potatoes, asparagus, bacon Brussels sprouts and choc angel food cake.

We had a late Valentine’s Day celebration combined with our wedding anniversary. I selected Thassos as our place of celebration, and oh how we felt like royalty! The food- just incredible. The service- best you’ll find in Chicago. The drinks? - better than those I’ve had at restaurants in New York or Denver. Such a romantic setting for our special day and I can’t thank Thassos enough for the beautiful memories we have created there.. Do yourself a favor and make a reservtaion, because this place has always been packed when I’ve been here and it’s no surprise! I can’t stop thinking about that Shrimp appetizer with red sauce and feta!! Out of this world!!

We have been here twice, and both times, the food & atmosphere were top notch. If you like green beans, their Tempura Green Beans with black sesame and plum sauce are incredible. And, on Thursday nights there is a small Jazz band in the bar, which is cozy too.

We have been going to Il Sogno for many years to celebrate family birthday's and special occassions. This time it was for my wife's birthday and it did not disappoint. Great appetizers, drinks and meals with outstanding service. We highly recomend this Wheaton Gem.
