Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Elgin

This was our first time back in 4 years. This restaurant is perfection! From the front desk being so gracious and friendly, Every waiter was so happy to serve us, Emma was our personal server and was very nice and helpful in choosing our selections. We split the large bone in filet, it was perfectly cooked and so flavorful. We also had the fresh gnocchi special with mushrooms, the gnocchi was the best I’ve ever had. It was perfect for sharing. We split the Caesar salad, clams and garlic bread to start, so very flavorful. Highly suggest, and can’t wait to return!! Ps… we loved how every course was brought by a different server as it came up ready in kitchen, and they all were so friendly, engaging and happy to be there. This restaurant is operated so well, when you have employees this friendly is says volumes about the management.

Our server Jonathan was amazing. My friend and I definitely over stayed our welcome during a Friday lunch catch up, and we never felt pressured to wrap things up. Been here about 6xs now and the food is always fresh and CONSISTENTLY AMAZING. Grateful for this place!!! I know I’m going to get a delicious meal with warm and on point service when I’m here.

From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and the staff eager for us to have a great experience. Our server (Kelly) walked us through the wine list and we chose a Mexican Cab based on her recommendations, especially since it wasn't a "traditional" flavor cab. What a delight! Her knowledge of the menu and flavors contributed to us making great choices: Ceviche, Brisket tacos, Carnitas, Sweet potatoes and a dessert that tickled every part of our taste buds! All the dishes were creative and with a flavor and ingredient profile that was unexpected but together created visual and edible pieces of flavorful art. The pace was perfect, giving us some time between our courses, as we didn't feel rushed or ignored. Other staff would clear our plates as we finished if they walked by, a key detail to attention. Kelly was the perfect server and we will be back!.

Came here for my girlfriend’s birthday! She & I loved the ambiance & thought the food was amazing. Our server was great! Gave recommendations and was attentive to us. Truly appreciate the service!
