- RRoxAnnVIPChicago / Illinois •78 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoBeautiful restaurant setting. You can sit in the bar area or a more quieter section of the main restaurant. We opted for the bar which had a singer performing. The jazz singer & musician was a very nice touch for the evening. Service was excellent and non obtrusive ... our server Derek checked in or walked by to ensure if we needed anything. My lobster salad was super yummy ... highly recommend.My hubby and I had a very lovely evening here.More infoCityGate GrillePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Naperville•4.8
- CCarolChicago / Illinois •23 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe went here for a holiday lunch and it was the perfect place. The restaurant had festive decorations and every table had a small pre-lite crystal tree. Our food was delicious. We shared the Black Pepper Shrimp and then each had the Chicken Chopped Salad. Our server was great, giving us her attention when needed, but also giving us time to enjoy our food and to sit and talk for a while.More infoIVYPrice: Expensive• American• Wheaton•4.6

- AAlexaVIPChicago / Illinois •14 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 14, 2024Amazing experience! We went here as a family and it was a great choice. There was live music (the guy was fantastic!) so it was a bit loud but not unbearable. For apps we had the cheese & sourdough and turkey chili- absolutely amazing, I would have had the cheese for my main meal of I could have! For entrees the table ordered the branzino, salmon, regular burger and a chicken burger. Everyone loved their picks! We will be back!More infoMoveable Feast + CoPrice: Moderate• American• Wheaton•4.8
