    Meatloaf Tower is awesome
    Matt M.

    Took a different way to Oakbrook and stumbled across this - decided to give it a whirl, sooooo glad I did. Our waitress was amazing and when we said it was our first time there she pulled up a chair and walked us through some of their most popular items and was patient while we worked it out. The meatloaf tower was super and had some great flavor. The Cuban did not disappoint was also very good. The sleeper was the French onion soup that was popping and not the bland disappointment some places have. Such a great little sleeper that is just enough outta the way - take the time to check it out, you'll be happy you did.

    We took a trip down to see family, and after searching for a place to eat, we stumbled upon Madison's Pub and Grill. It was delicious! It was in a place I grew up as a child, and my father's friend owned that property. Good memories there, for sure. I ordered the black and blue burger, and it was cooked to perfection! My husband ordered the Jalapeno burger, but requested no barbeque sauce. We both loved our burgers! We both had fries with our burger. Good food, excellent staff, and a lovely experience. However, the cheese curds that we ordered were overcooked, but the parmesan that was added, was nice touch. Don't overcook your cheese curds, coming from an opinion from Wisconsinites. We will be back there the next time we venture south.

    Wow! The food was incredible, my kids and family ate everything on their plates. I got the mile high meatloaf, my wife got the buffalo chicken wrap, kids got the kids Mac and cheese and my son got the fish and chips. Everything had flavor and was hot! The service was good the waitress was nice and attentive, the only issue we had was the guy clearing the dishes was very pushy, we had barely finished and he was reaching across us grabbing plates. That would be our only complaint. The inside had a really neat travel decor and it was really neat to look at while waiting for our food!

    Just got in town looking for lunch and saw this cute place. Lots to choose from sandwiches to meals. Nice bar selection of beers. Friendly service and very attentive.

    Madison's food is great but these prices are out of control. This is not NYC and I won't be back until prices go back to a reasonable level.

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.

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 hostess looked right at me and decided not to speak with me. I almost left but didn't feel like trying to find a new spot to eat. Then we get seated at a small WOBBLY UNSTABLE table that we have to put a napkin under ourselves to stop from wobbling. We then get served the food meant for the table next to us! It sat on our table for at least 3-4 minutes while we attempted to wave a waiter down to let them know. Then they had the AUDACITY to give the plates that were in front of us for minutes to the couple next to us whom the dishes we meant for!? INSANE!! Not a sorry or any kind of compensation. That's a health code violation and they are lucky that couple next to us didn't put up a fight. Their meal should have been free or Just remake the dish for the poor folks?? You made a mistake, admit to it and make it right!! Besides the wild health code violation, the vibes are pretentious and elitist. Not worth your money. Plenty of better options in the area. Super disappointed! Getting too big for your britches Fox Tail. We loved this place years ago but they have lost their touch.

I made a reservation for four through OpenTable and, about a week and a half later, called to add two more guests. The GM told me it was their busiest holiday of the year and they were completely booked from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM with no extra seating available. Our reservation was at 5:15 PM, and we arrived on time. We were told our table would be ready shortly, so I walked through the dining room on the way to the restroom and noticed several open tables and a row of extra chairs lined up against the wall. Shortly after, we were seated. The décor was breathtaking, and our server was outgoing and pleasant. She took our drink order promptly, and the drinks were excellent. We ordered several appetizers: Filet Mignon Pot Stickers (not great), Calamari (just okay), and Grilled Oysters (overpowered by hard Parmesan). I also ordered the Jumbo Crab and Corn Bisque. While there was corn in every spoonful, I didn't get a single piece of "jumbo" crab until the very last bite. For our entrées, we ordered two Wagyu Tomahawks for Two (medium) along with two Atlantic cold-water lobster tails. We also chose four sides: Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli, Asparagus, and Brussels Sprouts with bacon. The steaks and lobster were presented on a very large wooden board that barely fit on the table, leaving little room for the sides. Unfortunately, this is where the experience became extremely disappointing. The lobster tails were cold. The steaks were so heavily charred that all I could taste was burnt crust. The mashed potatoes were dry and tasted boxed, and the vegetables were bland and uninspired. We were even asked if we wanted the lobster tails reheated--which was surprising, as properly prepared lobster shouldn't need to be reheated. After that, the mood at our table shifted. We were ready to leave. Our server seemed to feel bad and stopped checking in as frequently, which made it difficult to settle our bill for what turned out to be a very expensive and disappointing evening. We were there for over three hours, and the only accommodation offered was one complimentary round of drinks. It was also clear that the restaurant was never fully booked during our time there, despite being told earlier that they were completely sold out. Sadly, this was not the Valentine's Day experience we had hoped for, and we will not be returning.
