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!

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.

I hate to say it but Google Reviews are much more accurate. At 4.4 with 500 plus reviews. That's a big difference. They have a Huge Banquet room upstairs and their own Deli right next door. Both doing a very busy business so they know how to do Italian cuisine. The restaurant itself is a very elegant traditional Italian decor with plenty of seating both cozy and open tables. After some delicious fresh bread with olive oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese it was time for the main course. Gamberi Broccoli Fettuccine tossed with sautéed shrimp & broccoli in a light garlic & olive oil sauce. Just amazing. The dessert was a very authentic and very traditional made from scratch cannolis with pistachio topping. Melt in your mouth delicious. The experience was amazing with exceptional service. One of the owners herself was the server. And was more than happy to answer all my questions about the olive oil (where it comes from) how the main dish was prepared and in detail described how they make their cannolis. One day I might just try this at home. Lol. Do yourself a favor and read the Google reviews first then Yelp and decide for yourself. I'll be here every time I'm back in Chicago visiting.
