    Smoked Salmon Benedict with mix greens
    Maggie M.

    Came on a Sunday before noon and the wait time was 20-30mins. So we decided to sit at the bar, we were lucky there were 3 spots available for us inside. They have seating at the bar inside and outside on the patio. We shared the Blackberry sangria, which was light and refreshing. Wasn't strong in alcohol so it was great to have for breakfast. There was enough for all of us to have about 2 glasses. Had the Smoked Salmon Benedict with mixed greens. The eggs were poached perfectly and the yolk oozed out when cut in half. Had a good amount of salmon for each bite. The mixed greens were fresh and the lemon dressing was very light. Think it would be better with just a little bit more dressing. Then we take the check and pay up front at the cashier. They can split the payment at the register or choose by seat.

    7:30 am on a Tuesday. Only a few tables seated. Had a coupon for a free birthday entree. Excellent service by Melanie. Had the Rustica Fritatta made with egg whites. Cremini mushrooms, sweet onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and kale. Served with organic greens, lightly dressed, and toast. Hubby had the traditional breakfast: eggs, potatoes, chicken sausage, and toast. Delicious coffee--urn left on the table. $42 before discount or tip.

    Had brunch here with my daughter today and we both loved our hash bowls. Fresh ingredients and flavorful combinations. Nice atmosphere, comfortable seating & the service was good. Great menu. We definitely will be back.

    Eggs

    I went here with my dad for a bruch and let me tell you, it was amazing. We orderd this Kale drink and its not some gross drink you would get at some low quality restaurant. It was honestly the best drink I ever had thatvwas healthy. For my food I ordered pancakes and eggs. Now I could not even finish half the pancake it was so big, and the eggs. Dont even get me started. I can not leave this place without getting eggs. 100% 5 stars!

    Grits

    Excellent breakfast plate. I got the traditional with fluffy eggs, chicken apple sausage, whole wheat toast which came with home fried potatoes. I also ordered the grits. It was filling the service via UberEats was sufficient and timely. Customer service was great. ​

    The food exactly as it came. Unopened, I haven't started to eat it. 16 dollars.

    What is this portion??? And they didn't include the bread... thanks for the jam? I also got a morning meditation drink which was really good! Sad that this is the to go portion since I do love dining in.

    We had a yummy breakfast here today. The food was very yummy, definitely recommend the bacado omelet and BLTE sandwich. The vibe is really nice, perfect for a relaxed morning. Service was okay, not super fast but still friendly. We ordered the kale tonic and purple haze. Both was super refreshing and felt so healthy LOL. Overall, it's a great spot to start the day!

    First Watch is always a solid win. The food is consistently great - super fresh, flavorful, and served in portions that actually feel worth it. Everything comes out bright and well-made, whether it's a brunch classic or something a little more on the healthier side. The vibe is relaxed, service is reliable, and it's the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. I'll definitely be back!

    Soft opening First watch was paying for your meal! What a generous treat. The service was in point and the food and Kale Tonic was a hit! I will definitely be back.

    Salmon Eggs Benedict
    Kate K.

    I was excited to try First Watch after all the rave reviews. And while the atmosphere and service were great, the food was underwhelming. My eggs Benedict was hard boiled it was so overcooked and I found a small hair in it. The rest of our entrees were just ok while the price was $$$$ - with all the amazing breakfast diners around, we probably won't go back to First Watch.

    I treated my mother in law to breakfast at this new location and it did not disappoint! We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server, Jay, was not only friendly, but knowledgeable. She made great suggestions for us and took great care of us. The food was amazing. I had the avocado toast and the million dollar bacon. Soooo good! Highly recommend!

    Waited for an hour on 7/13 our order still has not been taken. Waitlist time is inaccurate and it is very unorganized.

Our server, Umberto, was attentive and pleasant and took good care of us; he was the best part of our evening. However, this is the first and last time I'll ever eat at Entourage. They promise "a dining experience" on their website, but I could get the same experience at your average Chili's or TGIFriday's without the pretense. Why do I say that? It's the noise...oh, the noise. There were a few tables with large parties, so it was pretty loud. Even leaning in closely, it was hard for my friend and me to hear each other talk. And the screaming kids were something else, emitting ear-piercing screams that get your attention, for all the wrong reasons. I didn't see any staff ask the large parties to keep it down or ask the parents to manage their children, which I guess I can understand. Large parties = more revenue than a two-top. But we did not - could not - linger after we ate our meals, or order coffee, dessert, and/or an after-dinner drink, because it was just too loud in there.

I started with the salted watermelon margarita, which was tasty and refreshing with a nice fruity flavor. It wasn't overly strong, making it easy to sip throughout the meal. For appetizers, we shared the spinach dip, calamari, and buffalo bites. The spinach dip was good, and the chips had a nice salty crunch. The calamari was pretty standard, but there was way too much breading, the squid-to-breading ratio was way off. For my entrée, I ordered the steak bowl. Unfortunately, it wasn't that great. The menu description mentioned quinoa and brown rice, but they were practically nonexistent. There were maybe a few grains of brown rice in the entire dish, and it mostly consisted of a handful of steak cubes and vegetables. The flavor and sauce were good, but it wasn't very filling. Thankfully, I had already filled up on the appetizers. For dessert, I tried the crème brûlée cheesecake. Honestly, it was nothing special and tasted like a thawed frozen cheesecake with some cheap berry compote on the side. Overall, Yard House is a fine option for hosting large groups thanks to its spacious setup, but I wouldn't come here expecting amazing food. The experience was fine, but the food itself was pretty average at most.

When we're in town, we hit up all the old favorites, and Miller's Ale House was on the menu on June 25th. We had dinner plans with friends later, but we squeezed in a lunch date with beer and a shared appetizer. Their wings are legendary, so we ordered 12 to go with our brews. Let's get to the review. Service was top-notch - our host greeted us with a smile, and our waiter was on point. We got our beers within five minutes, no problem. The ambiance was cozy, well-lit, and bustling with sports tv and ambient noise. But here's the kicker - we waited 30 minutes for our wings. Yeah, it was 1:30 when we arrived and the place was pretty empty, but that's no excuse. Now why did give a rating of two? Well, for the service and ambiance only. We were served our wings at 2:00. How were the wings you maybe wondering? My Husband and I eagerly grab wing flats. 'Can these bones live?' Eating those wings immediately reminded me of Ezekiel 37 in the Old testament after he saw skeletons scattered about asked, "Can these bones live?" The wings were drier than the Sahara, and the honey barbecue sauce was just a weak attempt to revive the corpse. Can these dry out wings live up to being freshly made and juicy covered up by a tasty honey barque sauce? Hell to the naw, naw naw!!! We called our waiter over explained our dissatisfaction with a request to remove the wings off our bill. We still tipped him, because hey, he's not the wing assassin. since he only served the food and it was the kitchen that prepared that saucy dressed up trash plated up real pretty. What a let down Miller's. We noticed your price increase for six wings cut in half sold as 12 pieces. If you expect customers to pay more for less than you should be serving your best, that is cooked fresh not food that is precooked sitting for hours then reheated. I did check your reviews which were not the best and gave you the benefit of a doubt despite low ratings. Would I recommend Miller's? Sure, if you enjoy eating dry wings and wondering if they'll crawl off your plate. However, to each their own, your money, your call. This economy has got me rethinking the whole 'strike three and you're out' deal. Paying more for less, subpar service, unnecessary waiting time, honey it is now, strike one, you're on out as my time and coins are valuable and restaurants are hurting so I will search for one where I can get the love I deserve.

    Out here in deepest Suburbia, sometimes things present a vaguely Disneyesque artifice, where, if…read morethe fantasy world was more advanced, "Quotation Marks" would appear magically in the air around buildings (and, alas, people) indicating irony should be applied as a mitigating factor. This is not to imply in any way those places (or people) are therefore any less in quality or to be avoided. But I digress... I've driven past the "Paris Bistro" here, since it was established, and, unfairly thought "yeah, right". Why? Route 59 is a 1000% American Commerce Zone, rife with every franchise on the docket, and conformity is securely on the menu. And rightly so. Folks out here may have had their success, but they were raised in front of American TV, and their consumer habits developed accordingly, especially with regard to cuisine and eating habits. There are, of course, bona fide Ethnics in the general area, but those are germane to the Communities in residence. (Some FAB Chinese, Indian and Mexican places-q.v.) I am not aware of a burgeoning French settlement anywhere nearby. Around here "Cooper's Hawk" passes for "fine dining", and if you've ever fine-dined, you'll know Cooper's Hawk may parlay a decent feed, but it ain't Alinea, Bubba. In the far Western and Southwestern Chicago 'burbs, folks' Culinary tastes are as conservative as their politics. So whither "Paris Bistro"? It's a handsome suburban building with inviting signage. When you walk in, you pass a bar having an impressive array of boozes. Keep going west past the bar and you're in a room mimicking a rural setting, if a rural setting had curved leather banquettes. There's a more traditional dining room on the other side of the bar, but I didn't go in there. It was daytime, and bright, but when daylight ebbs, I'll bet both rooms are romantic. The service is reserved and accommodating-you're not going to find a wisecracking "Alice" on the staff. The menu actually is pretty accurate as a French Bistro in the USA. Lots of Français on it (in the titles), but the descriptions are all clear English. You don't have translation to fear.The menu is extensive, and features many traditional "Bistro" faves, along with select "American" choices. I was in for Brunch. Disregarding conformity, I ordered the Escargot for Hors D'oeuvre, not that I wanted to, but because I am pathologically incapable of NOT ordering Escargot if they are on the menu before me. They were yum, but I wish there was a softer bread available for sopping the buttery-garlic goodness remaining after the morsels are consumed. As "they" say, a French Chef is judged by their prowess in cooking a simple Omelette, so that's where I went. "Jambon et Gruyere" to be exact. It wasn't a large beast, but it was tasty, light, and properly prepared. No sign of the Rugby-Ball pancake-batter-enhanced behemoth omelettes you'll find in common Coffee shops. Accompanying was a (very) small salad of nice composition, with just enough fruity vinaigrette to satisfy. Also on the plate were tasty and ultra-crispy "shoestring fries". I'm not a slave to potatoes with breakfast. but these were damned good. The problem at hand (so to speak) was the transport from plate to mouth, as they were very thin and very crisp. Both fork and spoon were inefficient. I thought of using the spoon to crush them, thus rendering spoon a contender to preserve my dining decorum. In the end, I bit the bullet and just picked them up in hand, decorum be damned. I wish I had a bucket of these for movie-watching snacks at home. The coffee was a conundrum. It arrived with a strongish smell, like it was burnt and past its prime, but lacked the acrid flavor such as found in a forlorn brew. It was actually a fine, bold, cup of VERY dark roast. It's a nice, sophisticated (but not snooty) resto, dignified but not stuffy. If you need to have a business breakfast/brunch, this is a perfect place. Also, if you're not in the mood for the hustle and bustle of a noisy coffee shoppe. Prices a bit higher than you might expect, but... I quite enjoyed both the bread and circuses here, and while I never mistook myself from being anywhere else than in Naperville (not Paris), I caught the vibe, and it was nice. I am officially pissed at myself for not stopping here sooner. No "quotation marks" for this place. Throwing 4 stars (for now), and I'll be back here very soon for dinner.

That room is usually where they sit families. It was not our choice and we voiced our opinion to sit in the dining room. The staff immediately switched everything to the warm and inviting dining room. The food provided was tasty from the mini sandwiches to the tartines to the sweet treats. I have to say there was an inconsistency with sizing. Some were generous and some were lacking. They could've done a better job with consistency so we all got the same sizes. The tea service was very cute but you were only able to choose a couple teas. I've been to other teas at Suzette's and Pinecone Cottage where the tea is unlimited, as well as they ask if you would like another tasting of something that you really liked. I felt for the money this tea service was limited as well as not consistent. It was a great way to spend time with my Pilates friends, though. I could see myself doing this again if there were improvements made and they were more generous by offering an additional taste.
