My husband asked me where I wanted to eat for my 43rd birthday and I was craving Vietnamese but…read morewanted to find a new place. I looked up highly rated Vietnamese restaurants and found Tasty House 1 in Carol Stream. This place is everything we anticipated it to be. The location is nice and has parking in front, inside is super spacious and had a relaxing and breathable ambiance. We ordered a family appetizer platter that came with all the delicious Vietnamese appetizers like: spring rolls, bbq marinated meat, fried eggrolls, grilled jumbo shrimp, meat wrapped in betel leaf, lettuce, noodles, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, daikon, jalapeños, two dipping sauces: peanut butter hoisin and Vietnamese fish sauce. Another appetizer we got separately was the fried calamari which had a great crunchy texture, the absolute best! For our entrees I decided to build my own pho and chose tripe, rib eye steak and quail eggs. My husband got the spicy beef noodle soup (Bun Bo Hue). This is honestly the best Vietnamese we've ever had in our lives!!!! I'm so glad I found this place. Awesome service, food and atmosphere. Zero complaints everything was very fresh and perfect. Our hearts left super happy.

I was here with a large group. This is a small family restaurant, with a surprisingly large menu…read more(not all of which may be in stock). There is a separate vegan menu with half a dozen things on it, and other than the drinks and desserts, pretty much nothing on the regular menu is vegetarian. (The papaya salad, which is on the vegan menu, is a ringer: it contains fish sauce.) You've got your choice of various fruit lemonades, bubble teas, popping bubble teas, jellies, etc. Desserts include flan, Vietnamese yogurt, coconut jelly - none of which you'll be eating onsite as you'll be too full after your entree. Portions are on the large side - even the papaya salad is a meal. I got the peach lemonade, vegetable spring rolls and the tofu, vegetable and noodles, which turned out to be a soup, basically Vietnamese ramen. The spring rolls are tasty and come with peanut sauce; the vegetable broth was savory with lots of baby bok choy, plenty of noodles and cubes of fried tofu - it was even better with some of the homemade hot sauce, which I highly recommend. The lemonade comes in a bubble tea disposable cup and contains tiny pieces of fruit - very fruity, not very citrusy. Service was friendly and very personable, which helps if you're serving 16 people. All of whom were happy.

I love the variety of their food menu! They have steak, salmon, chicken, pork, shrimp, duck, lamb, pasta, and some really nice appetizers. We ordered the charcuterie board and thought it was the perfect size for the two of us. Not many places offer duck, so I had to order it for dinner! The duck leg comes with carrots and duck fat roasted potatoes. It was incredibly delicious and tender. The flavor of the sauce was rich and paired great with the carrots and potatoes. Only thing is I did think some of the prices were a bit high compared to some other places I've been that serve similar quality food. Our waiter was nice and provided good service overall! I think this would be a cute spot for a date night.

We were seated immediately and greated by Marc our server who was amazing. They have an extensive wine and bourbon list as well as a variety of crafted cocktails. I had a Buffalo Trace Old Fashion and my wife had a Pimms Cup. Both were very good . Since my wife is Gluten Free,they have a large selection of items to choose from . Started with the Burrata appetizer and an order of baked oysters. Delicious! For our main entrees we had the Shells on Shells pasta which was loaded with seafood but my wife was disappointed that the pasta was not shell pasta. I had the Shrimp Bruschetta which was loaded with shrimp and tasted amazing. Portions are huge but they were so good we had no leftovers .lol. For our Anniversary they surprised us with some gelato and I had to try their famous Bourbon Pecan Pie. Very good but I brought half of it home. We ended the night with an Expresso Martini. This is truly a hidden gem located in downtown Roselle.

It wasn't too crowded inside, our server was very friendly, and I liked the decor where guests can draw with crayon on the walls/tables and seats. I ordered all 3 flavors of sauce with insane heat level for my seafood boil bag, it was delicious. The insane heat level isn't too spicy, but I might have a higher level of tolerance more for spice. This is a messy meal - there are tons of sinks to clean up at afterwords and they give you bibs and gloves - definitely recommend using those when eating. Come only on the specials days otherwise it's too expensive. I will definitely be back for the Thursday deal.

I'm not going to mention any names but every place for takeout to the Palatine area has Sucked. Too dry, overcooked, no meat, weird sauce, small portions, you name it, BAD. I took a chance on SSBBQ. They had a special promo in the Uber Eats App so I ordered a Slab +1/4 of Ribs, fries, Cole slaw and Beans. It was delivered quickly, warm and delicious! The Ribs were THICK and juicy with not too much sauce! All of the sides were fresh and really good. My wife and I both really loved the dinner and will be ordering again when we get the BBQ urge. Hats off to Secret Sauce and Uber Eats for getting us a great meal Fast...... Thx Jeff.

This was one of the best po boys I've ever had in my life!! I'm somewhat of a connoisseur, as I'm…read moreused to the po boys down south in new Orleans and Atlanta. I got -shrimp po boys (x-tomato) with fries -one of each sauce -peach cobbler On my 15 minute drive home everything was still fresh and warm and crispy. -Fries were SO perfectly seasoned I almost didn't even need a sauce, which for me is crazy as I need a sauce with everything (but I always try it first without). -The po boy...my god. It was so crispy, fresh, the shrimps were perfectly battered (hate when they hide the shrimp between 10 layers of batter), the lettuce was fresh and surprisingly not wilted by the time I got to my destination. I'm not one for cheese on my po boys, and almost got it without, but im actually really glad I kept the cheese on. -Sauces were all great, the Roumalade is where it's at though. I could've really just had 10 of those and been happy! The tarter was a bit less zesty/tart than what I'm used to, but I ended up putting the hot sauce in it and it was delicious -peach cobbler i have yet to try, but it looks so glossy and creamy, will be eating tonight! The service was really just the cherry on top. Elizabeth, the owner, is the one who greeted me, and she was just a doll. She's a sauce queen, like me, so she made sure I try every single sauce! And gave me the peach cobbler on the house as it's my first time there. She's just the sweetest! You can tell her, her husband, and her son just have so much fun together. I'm just so warmed by my experience there, as she went so above and beyond, AND my food was impeccable. I'm quite the critique with my food, and only rate honest to what I feel, and this place deserves 5/5 stars hands down.

I'm going to…read morepreface a bit by saying there aren't enough great or even good quality places for fried shrimp and fish in the burbs. That said, this place impressed me upon my first visit. I stopped in for lunch to pickup a large order or shrimp and fries. I was greeted by Elizabeth initially. She insisted that I upgrade to the plate instead which included cole slaw and potato salad for a small extra fee so I proceeded to lock it in. Shortly after, her husband Kenny greeted me and we had a friendly talk for a while. They hooked me up with an additional side and drink (they did not have to do that) which I thought was a very kind gesture. My food came out prompt, hot and fresh. I ate a few shrimp and fries while there before hitting the road. Everything was crispy, seasoned well and appetizing. I ate the cole slaw and potato salad later at work and enjoyed each. Overall, this is a business I'd certainly return to in the near future. Cost is very competitive and on par with most places so this is a reason to further recommend them. To the owners, thank you for an excellent first impression. Hope to see you again soon!

My husband and I are moving to Bartlett and have been looking at the many offerings the area has to…read moreoffer since starting our build. Le P'tit was the first to pop up on my feed and immediately caught my attention due to its unique menu, historic building, and secluded outdoor oasis for the fair weather seasons. When asked where I wanted to have dinner on my birthday, the answer was easy, L'ptit! We were greeted by the Chef Chopra outside, who welcomed us and asked us to choose the seat that suited us best in or outdoors. We chose a seat outside as it seemed most guests were enjoying the nice weather in the garden. Chef Chopra introduced himself and explained the complimentary montadito, and presented the current specials. We loved that he took time to ask what brought us in, and when we said that we were building a new home in Bartlett only minutes away, he shared that although he has been all over the world he always misses good old Bartlett, IL. This is the kind of connection and service you won't find at franchise restaurants! We enjoyed cocktails, myself a dirty tini with bleu cheese stuffed olives, and my husband the traditional old fashioned and the P'tit old fashioned - both of which he enjoyed. We ordered the hummus for an appetizer - my husband never orders humus. Not a drop was left. It was so flavorful, and since I am intolerant to gluten we loved that it was served with cucumber "chips". We will definitely order this again! Our entrees were both specials - mine the steak and shrimp tower and my husband's the Birria. We could t decide whose was better. The shrimp and steak were so flavorful and beautifully cooked, and the beef and consommé of my husband's was out of this world. My takeaways from Le P'tit: We will be there - regularly, before we move into our home, and after! Have a cocktail, they are fabulous. Talk to Chef Chopra any chance you get. He has seen the world and loves to see his guests enjoying his menu and the atmosphere of his establishment. This is what supporting local is about! Enjoy your time at Le P'tit. Savor. Take a moment to slow down, disconnect from the outside and connect with the ones around you and enjoy the wonderfully and thoughtfully prepared dishes on the menu. We can't wait to be back!

Alrighty then! Hub-hub and I were looking for a place for our 7th anniversary (not of marriage, but…read moreof when we first met). We chose Bonefish Grill! So, on a warm and humid evening, off we went. We were greeted warmly and seated in a booth quickly. The ambience was similar to a steakhouse- but tastefully done and not over the top. Our waiter- who appeared and acted just as though he'd aced his final waiter-exam at Bonefish- brought over a specials menu, a happy hour menu for drinks, and a regular, one-page menu. All on paper; easy to handle and clean (always a plus). I quickly ordered 3-mini-tinis (presented very fashionably - see the pic), and he brought out a mini-bread loaf with olive oil and - what appeared to be basil- dip. The only demerit here: this loaf wasn't warm and had sat around a bit. Man. I loves me bread, but it's gotta be warm. No worries - when we finished he brought out a 2nd mini-loaf - which WAS warm. Oh yay. The mini-tinis were nice- though I think the one with the floating jalapeno was - while inventive- a bit too spicy. Still, it hit the spot. Hubby ordered the shrimp and scallop scampi, while I ordered Walleye (man, I love this midwestern fish - so nice and flaky!). It came with jasmine rice and broccoli- and frankly it was awesome. Hubby also liked the scampi as well- not bad indeed! A couple quick notes- not sure I liked the uniforms for the wait staff. Just seemed too much like a hospital with a look like white smocks. Hmm. But gosh, Bonefish- is it too much to ask that you use the portable terminals so I can pay at the table without letting my credit card out of my sight? Strange, isn't it? The US invents the tech, then we never deploy it until the rest of the world uses it first (which they do, btw). Will we come again? Yes! The prices are reasonable, the portions and ample, and the ambience is just fine. But gosh- let's get the bread right by bringing out soft, warm loaves, please. That's my first impression of the meal - and it was - sorry to say - lacking a bit.

I don't go to haute restaurants, like, ever but I didn't feel out of place for a second thanks to the amazing service. Our waitress was very personable, she sang us happy birthday and we had some fun brief conversations. Even the diners at surrounding tables were friendly and lively.

The Fritto Misto was delicious. I love the variety of seafood was in it. For drinks, I ordered the Peach Blossom and I really enjoyed it. It was fruity and not very strong but that's just how I like my cocktails. For entree, I order the octopus. I'm usually picky when it comes to octopus but I thought it was cooked well. It was tender and has a nice char grill flavor. I tried my friend's frutti di mare pasta in both the white and red sauce and both pastas were very good. I usually like white sauce but I actually preferred the red one. We pretty much ordered all the desserts on the menu. We order the cannoli board, crème brûlée, lava cake, and tiramisu. If there is one dessert you need to get, it is the tiramisu. It's probably one of my top places to get tiramisu now. All the other desserts were good but the tiramisu was outstanding.
