I had an absolutely incredible evening here celebrating my 40th birthday. My wife teamed up with…read morethe owner, John (aka The Captain), to host about 50 of our friends, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The space is modern and comfortable--it truly feels like you're throwing a party in your own living room, without actually having to do any of the work. We had live music throughout the night, which created a fun and lively atmosphere from start to finish. John and his staff were exceptional hosts, serving up multiple courses of some of my all-time favorite dishes--Detroit-style pizza, crab cakes, key lime pie, just to name a few. From the drinks (with a sommelier and an impressive bourbon selection), to the music, to their attentiveness to each guest, every detail was thoughtfully executed. If you're looking for a personalized, intimate celebration or event, I can't recommend this place highly enough.

On the day of my event, I called around 1 PM to pick up my order, but the place did not even open.

I honestly think they forgot about my order or did not think it was worth their time.

I also appreciated being able to cool off near the beautiful fountain. If you are getting married in the near future, consider this venue!

This was the first time that we visited the Elmhurst Art Museum.  Our daughter was invited to…read morepreview the exhibition "Picasso: Fifty Years Later" before it opened to the public, Hubby and I were her guests.  The exhibition focuses more on the influence of Picasso fifty years after his death.  So, other than some nice prints from Picasso, there was artwork from his colleagues and contemporary artists as well.  Interestingly, some of the work from other artists might appear to be even more "Picassoesque" than Picasso's work in this exhibit.  All in all, it was a good show and professionally done.   We met the Executive Director John McKinnon as soon as we entered the museum, who was very friendly and professional, and enthusiastically gave us a brief introduction of the exhibition.  John was also the co-curator of the show.  Katie, the publicist of the museum, was also very friendly and welcoming.  She talked about how proud the artists must have been to be able to have artwork exhibited alongside Picasso's art, and that the Director John even improved the air system in order to meet the requirements of the lenders of the Picasso collection!  I like that both John and Katie are very passionate, enthusiastic, and professional about what they do!   The museum itself is rather small.  It's very clean with professional setup.  It would have been nice if the rest of the museum was opened to explore when we visited on the preview day.  However, nothing was opened except for the Picasso exhibit, even the small gift shop was closed.  There is a sculpture named Skycube in the museum courtyard that is worth visiting.  It is a great spot to take interesting selfie.  All in all, Elmhurst Art Museum provides a good opportunity for art museum-goers in the suburbs to visit without driving all the way to the city, and you don't need to worry about parking, as it provides ample free parking as well!

And there's plenty of parking outside. I'm amazed more groups don't utilize this space.

And, they're fast, efficient, and no matter what you get it is perfect! It's a great place to go and study, hangout, or sit for an incredible cup of coffee! I had the pleasure of being introduced to this place by Yelp and I loved it! My go to drink is the iced decaf latte! This drink is creamy, dreamy, and delicious. With nots of toasted coconut, deep caramel, and cocoa nibs. Pure perfection! They also have a bar later in the day to try all kinds of in house made drinks.

Received an unapologetic, short, and delayed response stating they were not available on the date I asked about. However, when checking their website the date was still available.
