Best Restaurants with Private Rooms in Downers Grove

Every part of our Thanksgiving experience was wonderful. The food and service were exceptional. Seating was timely, despite the restaurant completely filled. Whoever does the scheduling should be commended. We had a lovely, and leisurely time.

This had nothing to do with management, but there was a very young girl who yelled at the top of her voice when speaking. The three of us diners all have hearing aids. We had difficulty communicating.

Great food (the buffalo shrimp - amazing), friendly service, tasty cocktails. The high top chairs are not so comfortable and being seated in the middle row resulted in tight quarters for the staff and others entering/departing. We definitely will come back and will ask to be seated on the side, the bar or the low table area.

Experience was wonderful as always. I need to get waiter’s name, we’ve had him a few times now and he’s always very good. Very quick with service.

Beautiful brunch experience! From the engaging details of PUBLICO that were thoughtfully designed on the 1st floor space to the cozy “red glass room” which created a fun ambiance. The Latin American brunch menu which my church friend, Jan ordered a delicious double crab cake benedict with perfectly cooked poached eggs and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce complimented with roasted potatoes. I thoroughly enjoyed my order of the El Americano — eggs made to order (chose perfectly scrambled eggs), with 3 meats of sliced ham, maple bacon and chorizo sausage link along with those great roasted potatoes. Yum!!! Will definitely be back to try the dinner menu. Also service was very attentive by manager, Sandra, because we arrived for a late brunch at 1:30pm-2pm so there was just a few other tables. I think it was so new only 3 months open that this place — AltaVida! is a best kept secret because they haven’t done any advertising or promotion that they’re open for weekend brunch yet.
