Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Downers Grove

The halibut was incredible. It had a tiny crispness at first bite, but was so moist. It was perfectly cooked. Our server made my sister & her husband feel very special on their 35th anniversary with a special dessert. I always bring visiting relatives, because I know they will love the experience…

Marvelous experience! Food was outstanding, waiter effortlessly efficient, front desk welcoming and friendly. We had a lovely birthday presentation as well. Capitol Grill never disappoints!

Service was wonderful! A minor inconvenience occurred and everyone went above and beyond!

We love Parker’s and have eaten there several times. The atmosphere is of an old country home. It has a separate bar area which is noisy but the main dining area is comfortable. Tables have adequate spacing and you can converse with each other Drinks are strong and fairly priced. Rather than a martini last night my wife had an Arnold Palmer for $4.50. T We had a delicious huge Pear Salad with sliced pears, soft cheese, nuts and we couldn’t finish it eating it together. I generally have the lobster bisque which has best flavor consistency and taste My wife had the Scallops delicious and substantial We took home the remainder I had the whitefish cut thin and served on cedar plank with whipped mashed potatoes.. not just mashed but really whipped with the greenest sautéed spinach. Dessert we shared a caramel budino with chocolate crumbs whipped cream. For $1 more we take the jar and lid home with us The cost was $129.77 and tip. Normal taxes only. No extra fees for inside staff and we tip more as a result Restaurant has Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary desert plates prepared The service staff have a lot of tables but cover them well without appearing rushed. Mariana A was our server. A service and restaurant manager, beverage manager, reservations manager very very busy. Parker’s is well run and for us both elegant and joyous.

We had a lovely meal at Seasons 52 Oakbrook this afternoon. The food was excellent, our server Bianca was friendly and attentive, and we watched a lovely sunset out the window improving already lovely ambiance while we ate. The pumpkin pie dessert was amazing with the ginger snap crust!
