I took V to Entourage to celebrate his birthday, and it turned out to be a fantastic evening from…read morestart to finish. We arrived on a Friday night just before 9:00 PM and had no trouble finding street parking--always a win. We were greeted by our waitress, Jennifer, who was absolutely amazing. She let us know about their late-night perk: half-price small plates and select drinks on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 PM until close, which is such a great incentive for heading out later in the evening. Jennifer was attentive without being intrusive--our water glasses were always full, she checked in after every course, and her recommendations for both food and drinks were spot-on. We started with a Mad Rose for V and a Chameleon for me. Both cocktails were delicious, and after finishing his Mad Rose, V definitely felt the celebratory spirit kicking in. For appetizers, we shared the Vietnamese Summer Rolls and Sweet Chili Calamari. The summer rolls were light, fresh, and nicely accented with mint. The calamari was sweet with a surprisingly spicy finish--delicious, though the heat was just a bit much for V. I'd happily order both again. For my main course, I had the Wagyu Beef Stroganoff, and wow--hands down the best stroganoff I've ever had. The beef was incredibly tender, and the sauce was perfectly balanced with the noodles. It even paired beautifully with my Chameleon, with subtle lemon notes that complemented each other surprisingly well. V ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop, cooked medium well and absolutely perfect. He loved every bite. It came with a risotto that he enjoyed, even if it wasn't the standout of the dish. Dessert sealed the deal. We finished with Sandy's White Wine Cake--which reminded me of a carrot cake in the best way--and the Banana Cream Pie, which was easily the best banana cream pie I've ever had. Truly a WOW moment. Between the excellent food, thoughtful service, and great late-night specials, Entourage made V's birthday celebration one to remember. We'll definitely be back. Sorry, I wish I had pics but I left my phone behind today.

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 adults' favorite was the bacon waffles and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate waffles with ice cream. Coffee was a solid Julius Meinl. We had a cup of drip coffee and mocha. Service was attentive and friendly. They were very accommodating when we asked them to serve the kids' items after we finished the savory entrees.

Checked out this local sports bar and grill. Grill 89 is actually one of the classier happening…read morerestaurants in Westmont to be honest. It has more of a farther location to get to. A lot of the menu is what's expected. The rest is basic sports bar stuff. Basically there's a history about it. It's actually related to the Ditka's Steakhouses that used to be around more often. The number is from his jersey, so of course the bar has football and sports themes. It's about $13 for a cocktail. La Casa Margarita is their house one. This is made with agave, cold pressed lime, Goddard Orange, and Jose Cuervo Tradicional. It's about $6 for appetizers. The French Fries are basically the only one that's any good to be honest. Has a pretty classy yet casual atmosphere. It's located in the one plaza at Ogden. This is a great place for watching games or whatever.

Reuben: Would make Reuben cry it's so mouth watering delicious, piled thick and high with perfectly cooked juicy corned beef. The steak fries: OMG. All this gastronomic quality and comfort at a very reasonable price. The only thing missing was a glimpse of his ghostly lover--her. This place has figured out and maintained its knowledge, for many years thank goodness, that we don't need pretentious dishes with pretentious names but rather, ample, well prepared simple choices at reasonable prices and we'll come back again and again.
