Best Gluten Free Restaurants in Batavia

Great dining experiences start with great service and at Coopers Hawk in Montgomery, IL. we had a great server in Trevor who made our lunch experience a pleasure. He guided us to great food choices including the Life Balance menu Pot Stickers (great flavor and taste centered by an awesome Thai slaw which we loved), on the regular menu we enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs (there was a generous portion of meat) and the Vegetable Risotto. So the food hit the mark and we also enjoyed meeting another team leader Diane who was an absolute delight. It is wonderful when the food and the people you meet the first time at a restaurant are outstanding. We will certainly be back!

Our waiter was fantastic. Very friendly and personable. Food was delicious as well!

From the hostess to our waitress the experience was wonderful

Oak & Rose Tea Room is a charming business in Geneva, IL overlooking the Fox River. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. You book your reservations online and prepay which I appreciate so your not having to deal with 'details' the day of your tea. You just show up and enjoy the 2 hr. Tea service. Ambiance & decor is modern and classic. Lovely music greets you and a wall to take pics to mark the occasion. Service was excellent very friendly staff and the owner went around to tables to greet customers and later to make sure everything was going well. The food....I don't know where to start. The chef had a lovely menu. My favorite was a sour cherry & brie bite. The chicken salad on crossiant was stuffed generously and should be on the menu year round. The unexpected surprise was the roast beef with caramelized onion jam, gouda, peppercorn, horseradish aioli on pumpernickel delicious! The desserts were so fresh and such a variety. Our table loved the lemon tart and blueberry bundt cake along with the raspberry gelatin bites. The selection of tea was great and you were able to sample more than one. Overall we had a lovely afternoon and were actually full before we could finish everything so we were able to bring a few items home. We always leave a tea still feeling hungry but not at Oak & Rose. We took home the mini chocolate lava cakes and warmed them up & added ice cream for a decadent treat all on it's own. Two Bridgerton thumbs up for Oak & Rose...it's definitely worth the money.

Great ambience inside or out, excellent food, friendly service, just a bit pricey. We will be back.
