    First, big shoutout to our waitress Corri! She provided the best service and recommendations. Second, the bang bang shrimp appetizer is a MUST! It's so unique. It's served in an edible rice bowl and the shrimp came in a good portion and was so light and crispy!

    My friend and I were in the area and wanted to go somewhere that had the Cubs game on TV. We heard good things about Arthouse and they had the Cubs game on, so we stopped in. Our burgers were okay. The service was slow. The only memorable part was that the sauces we ordered were really flavorful. The ambiance was nice - it was just a bummer that the food fell flat compared to how cool the restaurant looks inside.

    Excellent. I put this one on my watchlist years ago after biking past. Tonight we finally made our way in. The menu isn't huge and half of it is burgers. But everything they have looks great. The Korean burger was fantastic. Two patties with toppings and fries made for a pretty large portion. My wife enjoyed braised pork nachos. Neat ambiance inside with friendly service. We'll undoubtedly be back. Cheers!

    The lobster toast was not generous on the lobster, skimpy

    Post-theater today we went to Arthouse that took over Stolp Island restaurant. It was our 1st time dining here. Our server was Kristen, who was attentive and personable. She provided very good service. Also the other staff who filled our water glasses and took away empty plates provided good service, too. We ordered cocktails and they were very good. Hubby had an old-fashioned and I had the clover club. Mine was pretty in pink! Hubs and I shared half dozen char-broiled oysters to start. Delicious flavor although a couple were the size of a dime where other oysters filled the shell. They weren't consistent. We also shared the fried pickles. These were amazing and a generous portion. They were light and airy, the best I've ever had. For dinner, my husband had the steakhouse burger, with mushrooms and hollandaise. It was cooked to the perfect medium rare. I had the lobster toast. The lobster was served on focaccia with avocado, tomato and an aïoli. This sandwich had too much bread for the skimpy lobster provided. Disappointing. The restaurant itself has a nice bar area and a dining room with both high tops and low top tables. We sat at an extremely small table for two that we had to keep juggling our dishes because things would not fit on the table. For example, two appetizers, two plates, water glasses and cocktail glasses just didn't fit on the table. Next time I'd ask for a four top. It was an inconvenience throughout our meal. With a couple missteps, I do have to say I would definitely go back to this restaurant because there's a lot on the menu I want to explore, plus it's right next-door to the theater so it's the perfect location.

    Such a fun place to go for brunch with girlfriends before the show! I got there a little early before they opened and they graciously seated me before my party arrived. The service and friendliness of the staff was amazing even though they were extremely busy. We ordered the tempura pickles for an appetizer which was delicious. For our entrees we had the turkey sandwich, BLT, Bang Bang Shrimp and Ahi Tuna Bowl and if I could have taken my leftovers home I sure would have! We all loved what we ordered. Fun drinks and fun food! Put this place on your list!

    Food and service was good. However, they do not answer their phone to make reservations and there is not an option to leave a voicemail.

My wife ordered steak frites and I had the catfish. It was a very tough decision between catfish or the shrimpy grits, since I'll generally order that anytime it's offered on a menu. There's no doubt that we'll return for me to order next time You have to try their cornbread. It's not overly sweet, and it's an ample portion for very little money. We also ordered a side of red beans and rice, and their house Old Fashioned. Aurora is really stepping up its culinary game, and it's wonderful to now have so many diverse dining options so close to home. People should think outside the box next time they're considering going to a franchised chain, and instead support the indie restaurants offering something unexpected. Touché is going to be one of our regular spots, and may even hit their brunch before booking another dinner... But I dunno.... Those grits are calling my name

    Stopped by before a show at paramount…read more We were seated in bucket chairs in the bar area near the door--it was drafty and quite cold. It took about 20 minutes for a server to come over; we eventually asked the hostess for help, and he came right away but with an attitude that continued throughout the meal. He never checked on us after taking the order. Our food arrived about 30-40 minutes later. While the timing was tight, the bigger issue was the servers attitude--it really diminished the experience. We made it to the Paramount (one block away) with about 5 minutes to spare, but it was far more rushed than it needed to be. Food - great, Ambiance, if in main dining area - would be great, Service - sad.

There were two waitresses in our area and it was clear ours was not as serious about their job as the other. We waited long enough after being seated to start to wonder id we had been forgotten. Two other tables (seated after us by the other waitress) had been seated and got drinks before our someone came to our table. When I did get my water it had plastic wrap in it. The other waitress took it from us to get a new one. No sorry, nothing. Acted like nothing happened. Our waitress delivered the new one 10 solid minutes later. It was Not super busy at this time. Why so long? And again no acknowledgement of the plastic.. couldnt get myself to drink anything else with worry of contamination of the ice box. Order the california chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts. My mother had the smash burger. She seemed to enjoy it though both sandwiches were stacked super tall and mine had two huge thick red o ions on it. A bit overpowering but mine was good after that was removed. Brussel sprouts were significantly salty. Wasnt able to get through them. My mom got the fries and tho were standard. She also got a bloody mary. It was alright she seemed to enjoy it. Waitress was a little sarcastic with us for no reason and the plastic and just overall service was unfortunate. It was enough to leave a bad taste in my mouth and I dont plan to return.

    Altavida is a new addition to the downtown Naperville area as they have only been open for 3 weeks…read more It has taken over The Craftsman building which offers three floors. Altavida's concepts for the three levels are Publico, Rumba, and Altura. Publico (1st Flr)- A South American fusion of food and drinks that will be rotating. The cocktails will be more tequila and mezcal based and food will be subtly rotated based on trends happening in South America. The food menu currently offers tapas, empanadas, ceviche, guacamoles, larger format meat/seafood entrees, and more. They will have a front of our bar as well as a back bar that will specialize in more coffees/coffee cocktails. Rumba (2nd Flr)- The entertainment floor! There is a separate bar on this floor that will specialize in more Rum based cocktails. Additionally, they will have a wine bar area with wines in tap. Lastly, they will have an open area for live music as well as dancing. Their hope is to have a mix of jazz, club music, salsa dancing options available. Altura (3rd Flr)- This floor is still under construction but will have a rooftop patio. The hope is that this space will be an event space both for public and private events. Back to my experience! My partner and I stopped in for a cocktail and to see what Altavida was about. Our first bartender was very nice but was still getting used to the drink recipes and was leaning on their cheat sheets. While we waited, another bartender kindly told us all about the restaurant and its focus on hospitality. Unfortunately, each bartender had a slightly different explanation of the restaurant's goal concepts which was confusing. We ended up ordering the El Toro and Vaquero (both mezcal drinks). Both were VERY spirit forward to the point that it may have needed better balance. Both drinks had a nice presentation with garnishes, color, and a skull feature at the bottom of the glass. Lastly, we saw many people walk up and look confused as there was no formal host stand. They didn't know if they should seat themselves or wait for someone. Overall, there still seems to be some kinks needing to be worked out as well as some conceptual editing. I feel they are trying to achieve too much and it ends up being confusing for staff and guests. I hope with time, Altavida is extremely successful in the Naperville area and I hope to circle back after some time passes.

    This place is a wonderful addition to DT Naperville! I was able to get a last minute dinner…read morereservation on a Friday night. I arrived at 6:30 and there were plenty of people already in the restaurant, but I was seated promptly. My server Richard came over to greet me right away. He went over the menu options and gave great recommendations. We put our order in pretty quickly because we've been to tapas restaurants before. I loved the modern decor and lively music being played. The place is truly colorful and has a very energetic vibe. The service was excellent. Everyone was extremely kind and happy to help. Edwin, the general manager was so friendly and accommodating by making sure that everything was to our liking. He is a gem. My husband and I ordered a few different tapas to share. We started with the empanadas and they were truly 10/10, highly recommend! We had the beef and chicken with the chimichurri sauce. We also tried the papas bravas and those were delicious as well. They are spicy and have a nice kick. The portion is pretty big and shareable. Last, we had chicken en mole. Omg, so good! They knocked it out of the park with this one. The presentation is very pleasing and the flavor is 10/10! I'm a hot sauce girly and even carry it in my bag just in case. The sauce they had in the dish was so good that I didn't even think about adding hot sauce! The rice and chicken along with the sauce is chef's kiss. I also tried the Brussels sprouts but they were my least favorite of everything. They should go back to the drawing board on that one. The drinks we had were solid. My husband had an espresso martini and dragonfruit margarita, while I had a mango margarita. All were good. Needless to say, I had an amazing evening at Altavida! The dancing on the second floor was also very fun and entertaining. I will definitely be a regular here!
