Excellent venue for a shower! We chose Cadence Kitchen for our daughter's baby shower 7/2026…read morebecause we loved the food and service for brunch and dinner. We were absolutely blown away by the attention we received from Abby while planning and during the event. Abby responded to every planning question quickly and never made us feel as if we were a bother. We were allowed plenty of time to decorate. This was appreciated and we didn't feel rushed. During the event, Zack was equally amazing. Drinks were replenished before anyone asked. He checked in often with us to see if we needed anything. A super nice guy. Top notch service. Abby and Zack are assets to this establishment. The food was delicious - but that wasn't surprising as it is always great. The filet sliders were the star of the menu - highly recommend. The fresh fruit was cut and served beautifully. They also have an in-house pastry chef, Lori. You will be 100% satisfied if you go this route. I'm a cake snob ha ha - so consider this an "expert" cake opinion. It was absolutely delicious! We asked for a half buttercream-half whipped cream frosting with a chocolate mousse filling and everyone loved it! I wish I had a piece of that cake right now! Everyone knocked it out of the park. I would use Cadence Kitchen for any event without hesitation.

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.

Food was excellent, I had the foxtail paella, plump shrimp, mussels, sausage veggies and orzo instead of rice made it feel creamier, full portions. The "big wood" was a tasty whiskey drink, but the Negroni was a little too bitter. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about all the menu items and made good recommendations, fast attentive and good service.

Another great dinner at Foxtail!…read more We had to come back to try more of the menu, and this time we ordered: * Pork belly bruschetta: 5/10. Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. The pork belly, ciabatta, and balsamic were all good individually, but together the flavors just didn't work. It felt mismatched... * Colorado lamb kebab: 10/10. This is one of the more $$ entrées on the menu, but it's absolutely worth it. The portion was generous, the lamb was high quality, and the artichoke pesto paired really well with the rich, gamey flavor. The roasted pearl onions were a great addition too. I would definitely recommend this dish. * Foxtail paella: 8/10 flavorful orzo paella loaded with seafood. Definitely a sharing type of entree! Always a great time at Foxtail with great food and great service!

After an early dinner at a nearby establishment, we decide to visit Emmett's Brewing for a drink to cleanse the palate prior to the festivities later in the evening. We did not expect downtown DG places to be so busy on a Saturday evening, so we were pleased to get two seats at the bar. We decided to split a Sampler Paddle, which is a flight of five different beers for a mere nine bucks.
