I just worked out and called to ask about the dress code. No dress code, I'll be right there! I walked in and was greeted immediately and sat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and gave me time to decide without feeling rushed even as I changed my mind a couple times. I ordered the salmon and Mad Rose to drink. The drink has a lot going on and wasn't for me. It reminded me of a cinnamon orange tea, citrus and spicy. For dinner, I waffled on a couple fish dishes, but went with the salmon. It has a nice, crunchy glaze on it with some nice citrus flavors that weren't overbearing. I wasn't sure how the risotto would taste with the orange, but it worked. I was asked several times how I was doing and how my drinks and food were. Dining solo, I get ignored at times with subpar service. Not tonight access I appreciate that. I would recommend based on service and the dish I had. I will return to try more.

After a long final day of a conference in the Chicago suburbs, I really did not feel like dealing…read morewith traffic or going out to dine solo, so tonight called for delivery. I ordered from Entourage Downers Grove and was honestly impressed with how well everything held up for delivery. The standout for me was the lobster bisque. It arrived at the perfect temperature, which is pretty impressive for delivery. The bisque was rich and luscious without feeling overly heavy, and the basil oil added a nice brightness that balanced the creaminess beautifully. It also had a generous amount of lobster, including several large chunks, and was a very solid portion overall. The filet mignon sliders were another highlight. Each slider had a substantial piece of filet mignon topped with pickled onions, microgreens, and horseradish cream on brioche buns. The onions and horseradish added enough acidity and bite to balance the richness of the beef without overpowering it. I also tried the Vietnamese summer rolls, filled with roasted shiitake mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and rice noodles, served with both peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce. Everything tasted very fresh, and the sauces complemented the generously stuffed rolls nicely. My only small critique is that cutting them in half made for a prettier presentation, but made them a little awkward to dip and eat. Overall, this was a surprisingly strong delivery experience, and I would absolutely order from them again, or better yet, make it over to the restaurant itself next time I'm in the area.

The chicken was fried to perfection, the Benedict sauce had enough spice to make it interesting, contrasting with the sweet waffles. I could been satisfied with just half, but it was too good not to finish. My husband had the breakfast burrito with pork belly and potatoes ...a few too many potatoes for his liking, but he enjoyed it. The service is nicely paced, never rushed, so we could enjoy the parade of baby shower attendees that were going to the inside restaurant. The farmers market across the street added interest. If you are looking for a fun Saturday brunch, this is the place to be!

The service is really quick, and the servers are all really nice. The only thing I had against this place was that they were playing loud rock music that was not very family-friendly for one of the times we were there, but it didn't take away much from the experience. I also wanted to add that we went here for my sisters birthday and when we mentioned it, the lady serving us came with a big slice of a really fancy cake with a decorated plate and ice cream. To make it even better, she even gave her a hand signed card with a 10 dollar gift card inside!! Thank you so much to everyone at Yard House, you really impressed us!

I hestiated to order coffee, but the coffee served tasted like instant. I'm not a snob, but for $5 a cup, it should have at least tasted like Dunkin. The chicken lettuce wrap used romaine lettuce, which doesn't bend around anything. While there was a larger table (10 people) seated, our table had difficulty flagging down the server to make additional requests. The flannel shirts staff wears fit the vibe, I didn't understand who was responsible for what. There were others with red polo shirts, but they couldn't take orders. I was with a group which selected this restaurant, after this experience I will not be a return customer.

The students we've interacted with on our visits always have been pleasant and helpful. The price is incredibly reasonable, and I feel like they could absolutely charge more than they do! The only downside, and it's a small one, is that I feel like some of the furnishings could be updated (new carpets, etc), as it feels a little dated. That said, it's a college restaurant, and it doesn't really make sense to update some of that stuff unless it's actually necessary.
