This place does legit Country French cuisine better than anyone. Great wine list, beautiful little space, amazing food and great service. One of the few places that I will leave the city for. read more

Outstanding!!! We had the private room for a family birthday dinner and everything was wonderful! The decor for the holidays was very well done and there was a professional pianist. Service was very good and the food was wonderful. Had several apps, great French onion soup, and many entrees which everyone enjoyed. read more

Group of eight had a confirmed reservation for 11:30, but restaurant lost the reservation. We were seated in a nice room, but food wasn't served until 2pm. Mushroom crepe was good but not worth $15 and one tiny mimosa certainly wasn't worth $10.50. After waiting so long for our food, you would expect some small token from the owner. Instead a 20% tip was automatically added to the bill. Thought that was very presumptuous and rude. read more

Great delicious crepes place for lunch. I don't know of another creperie int the western suburbs. I like the spicy shrimp coconut crepe. A bit on the pricey side. read more

Fabulous gruyere and white wine fondue! If you get a chance to attend one of their wine dinners on special occasions I highly recommend it! Went for the New Years Eve event and it was excellent. read more

Last year my daughter's and I enjoyed a lovely Christmas Tea in the front room of the restaurant, which at the time I thought was the only room. It seemed afford a la at $35 pat person. This year (although I had made reservations well in advance) they sat us in a back room they called the "chef's kitchen." The front room had a piano player playing Christmas songs and a beautiful Christmas tree. The back room where they sat us this year was fine if you're shopping and stopping for a quick lunch. However it is not one tenth as nice and festive as the front room. It was lightly decorated and you could barely hear the piano music. I asked why we were seated in the back, since we were going to pay the same price as anyone else, and the hostess told me, (she was very condescending), that when large parties come in, you can be seated in the chef's kitchen. This would have been useful information when I made the reservations for each of us to enjoy a Christmas Tea. We took our seats and discussed what we should do. It was 2:45, too late to seek out another place with no reservations. So we ordered tea from a very young man who seemed very unsure. I ordered Suzette's Spice, but what I got tasted like hot water. My daughter's tea was the same. The final straw came while we waited for our first course. A narrow room that separated us from the front room had two sets of sliding glass doors. The ladies that were seated there promptly closed the doors, completely cutting us off from the faint piano music we could hear. We left, expressing our disappointment to the shocked hostess on the way out. Terrible management. When we left we noticed that the front room was shoulder to shoulder. We could hardly weave between the tables to leave. I'm sure fire codes were disregarded by the management. read more

First injury, then insult. My husband and I dined here for my birthday last week and the food and setting were nice, but the service was, I believe, the worst I have EVER received at a restaurant. We waited 20 minutes to place a drink order. Then 20 minutes to get our drinks. Our appetizer came before our drinks. Then another 20 minutes to place our food order. Maybe 40 minutes to get our food? Then another 30 minutes after we were done waiting for the check. Throughout all of this, no apologies or explanations were made. It was ghastly. I wrote a friendly email to the owner the next day describing our trials, and she responded by saying basically "We were busy, too bad." At least she's consistent- the rude service in her restaurant matched her rude reply. read more

Amazing time here today. Our group was here for English tea. Everything was delicious and the service was also great. Katie was our server and she was the best. I would definitely go back. 5 stars. read more

I've been to Suzette's three or four times usually for dinner but once for breakfast as well. I know that the atmosphere is deifnitely unusual, as you basically feel like someone has a restaurant in their living room. The furniture is odd and mistmatched and it a very small place and tightly seated. However, I really like that aspect of it as well as the slower pace of the meals. It would definitely make the slower pace more enjoyable is some of the wine offerings were a bit friendlier on pricing, but I do disagree with some of the comments on pricing for the meals. If you come for dinner you can have a great meal with a shared appetizer and two savory crepes and stay under the $30 mark (2 x $12 crepes and an $8 app). Considering that I've always really enjoyed there food I think that this is a great value. I've had a couple misses but in general the food is rich and the breads and salads are excellent accompaniments. I think that overall it's a charming place and the pastries and deserts are a nice offering as well (I like to choose out of the case and take them with me). Try the eclairs they are the best. If you ever have the occassion to meet Suzette she is great fun as well and wonderful to speak with. You have to be prepared for the space and a relaxed dinner but I think the service and decor suit the food and experience well and the food itself is excellent. read more

This used to be our favorite restaurant....until today. When we walked into the restaruant, we were asked if we had reservations. We said we didn't, and the look on the greeter's face was questionable, even though there were plenty of empty tables. We ended up sitting at a table in the bakery, which was fine. The lady next to us clearly was a regular because she was alone and ordered very little, yet the server was constantly talking to her instead of doing his job. When he finally came to our table to ask us what we wanted to order, he asked if we would like a glass of wine to drink. We said "no" and he never asked if we wanted something other than water. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees, totalling over $70. The appetizer was fine, but even though we finished the appetizer and were sitting there for approximately 30 minutes waiting for the entrees, they never came. Eventually the server asked if we would like to place the order for the entrees now! I couldn't believe it!! We had to sit there and wait another 40 minutes for our entrees with nothing but water!! Once our entrees finally came, one of them was terrible. One of us ordered the filet mignon and the meat smelled disgusting. I wonder how long the meat had been sitting around before someone ordered it!!! The taste was also terrible and hard to believe it was filet mignon. At the price of $37 for the dish, it was appalling!! We order steak at every restaurant we go to, but this steak was worse than anything we've ever had at restaurants where we would pay1/3 of the price!! After we finished, we were asked if we wanted dessert and declined. We were brought the bill with no thank you or anything like that. We paid our bill and walked out. The owner was sitting outside with someone and saw us walk out of her restaurant. She wasn't talking at that moment, looked right at us and watched us pass. No smile or thank you for coming or anything. We live two hours away from this restaurant, so coming here used to be a treat....but NEVER AGAIN!! Your money and time can be better spent elsewhere. read more

We celebrated my sister's birthday at Suzette's last Saturday and cannot say enough about the food or the service! Emily, our server could not have been more pleasant, informative or accommodating. The place was very full and busy but we were not rushed and felt comfortable to linger and visit. In addition, planning with Christine before the event was also easy, professional and thorough. Great job! read more

Suzette's is a charming, wonderful little place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just a cocktail at the bar. It is a "cozy" place, so if you don't like a more intimate atmosphere, this is not for you! I have eaten at Suzette's several times and have never had a bad experience. Be prepared to relax while you are there. This is not Applebee's - come in and get out in 45 minutes. They take their time getting the food to you and it is worth the wait. They give you time to savor and enjoy the food as well as your dining companion - so don't come with someone who is boring! Anton, the wine sommelier (sp?) is just fantastic. He knows what he is talking about and does a superb job of recommending a glass of wine to complement your meal. The servers there are also very good. On two occasions we have had a server who is a foreign exchange student from France. That has been great! Suzette's does get busy - so it is good to call ahead. You can also stop in during the day to grab a pastry and a cup of coffee to go. It is like you've stepped into Europe. Ah, the patisserie! Just love this place. read more

First off, this is a French restaurant, so you will get French service. If you're not familiar with this, you shouldn't complain about the length of time it takes for you to receive your dish. Yes, the restaurant often becomes busy and noisy. Come in, expect to love your food, sing praise for the chef and enjoy a long evening dining out. Suzette's is a gem! Their sandwiches are fantastic. The crepes are delicious. Their wine dinners are a must! I have attended their Loire Valley and Mediterranean wine dinners and they are still vivid in my mind. The food! The wine! Being surrounded by other people who love food and wine as much as you! An evening can't get much better than this. Maybe only if you were in France. read more

Adorable place. Decor makes you feel like you are dropping by someone's house for lunch and tea. Had a delicous lunch over the weekend. I had the spinach crepe (amazing), hubby had the coconut shrimp crepe (he really liked it). The spinach crepe had a spinach-souffle styled filling and came with melted swiss cheese on top. Oh, and the batter they use to make the savory crepes is a little on the sweet side, which I adore. I think it really elevates the entire flavor of the crepe. We split two dessert crepes. Of the two, I liked the one I selected better (lemon curd with raspberry sauce). The other one had bananas. The server was very nice. read more

I've been here two times both for somewhat special occasions and have been VERY disappointed both times. Once it was for Sunday brunch. Had a reservation. Got there only to be told the entire dining room was booked for a wedding shower and we''d have to sit out back. Took 2.5 hours to have brunch. Food was lousy and service non existent. Why did they take the reservation? Why not just close the restaurant. There were two other tables out back with us and we all said we should have walked out. The staff kept telling us how the kitchen was over whelmed and basically we were a bother. Yesterday another friend wanted to go to celebrate a special event. It was a Tuesday morning. There were people at 3 tables. Once again the staff made it very clear that they were doing us a favor letting us eat there. Had to wait to get seated. Then they tried to seat us a a tiny table in a corner with door behind the seat. I insisted on another table. Service was slow, snooty and just bad. THe food was lousy. First they didn't have any pastries. Then the ice tea machine was not hooked up. We both had soggy re-heated over priced quiche and moldy fruit salad. Don't go there. "Suzette" thinks she's doing you a favor. She's not. I wouldn't go there if they paid me. read more

This Place never disappoints, I have been there a few times now love the food and atmosphere.

This was my second visit to this restaurant. I had been there for dinner several years ago and hadn't been back because I had not been impressed with their food and services; especially their service. I am a French food lover and even though the service in Paris is not the best. We arrived around noon and their choices was either breakfast for 10 more minutes or their fixed menu since they were having a special celebration. We chose the breakfast, our drinks came in about 15 minutes after ordering. We ordered our meals and after having a lively conversation with the other couple for about an hour, we realized that no one had come to even tell us why the delay. We called our server who simply said "Eggs Benedict take a while to cook." Ten minutes later our food finally arrived. Our server never stopped to ask if we needed anything else or ask how the food was. When we were finished, she promptly dropped the bill without asking if we wished to order anything else. When we saw the bill, she had overcharged us over $20. She was nowhere to be found so we asked someone else who apologized and corrected the bill. Our server never came back to the table. The place was not crowded and she seemed to be taking care of two more tables plus ours. The food was okay but not that great to justify the bad service. read more

On a Saturday 09:30 hours: Parked free in diagonal sidewalk parking 1 block away. Seating immediate. four of 13 available tables had customers indoors, one of several sidewalk tables was taken, patio in the back was busy. The young waitress' courtesy was impeccable, introduced herself and informed me she would soon be back to take my order, which she did in less than 10 minutes. Ordered simple scrambled eggs with fine herbs when she assured me they were not cilantro, but she did not know what herbs were involved, and offered to find out for me. Coffee good, hot but not too hot, cream fresh. Requested teaspoon but waitress got too busy with patio service. Scrambled eggs were gook correctly, not runny, not dry, not overcooked. The baguette listed in the menu as part of the dish, was two micro-slices of baguette-style bread sticks (3 bites a piece). Fruit salad was a small bowl of 2 slices of strawberries, one black berry, several blueberries, one grape, one cube of pineapple and the rest was cantaloupe. Bus boy/man on several occasions asked whether I wished coffee refill, or anything else. In brief, service was attentive and courteous, food was very good. Unfortunately, I failed to notice any mention of availability of champagne with meal on the menu. read more

Sorry Folks, really wanted to like this. I live in Wheaton and each time I return, whether it be table service or an on-the-go item, it disappoints. Overpirced and underwhelming. Confused wait staff or "just out to lunch". Really want to like it as it is a departure from a chain, but just disappointing in general! Will not be visitng any longer. read more

The bakery section is excellent. Their fresh pastries are delicious and delicate. The restaurant I will never visit again. The service is glacial. The salad I ordered was missing ingredients listed in the menu (the waitress didn't mention what the kitchen had run out of) The wild mushroom crepe? I hope you're wild about button mushrooms because that was all it had. read more

this is one of those places i wish i liked more than i do. for one thing, it's totally overpriced for what you get. the atmosphere is quaint, but in kind of a bitchy middle aged suburban housewife wino way if you know what i mean. the soup is good, but i suspect that's because it's like 90% butter. read more

I have been coming to Suzette's for afternoon tea for years, and the quality of the tea has really declined. And yet, the price has gone up. I wasn't going to write a review until my friend went and had the same experience. They are now charging as much for a local tea in Wheaton as they do for tea at the Drake in Chicago! At the same time, the portions are shrinking to miserly quantities and the food is not very fresh. How can you enjoy a special occasion like afternoon tea when you feel like you've been shaken down at the end? This used to be a favorite of ours; now, we go elsewhere. read more

We had reservations for my birthday dinner. We received a call 2 ours before our dinner to say they had overbooked and would not be able to honor our reservation. They offered no alternatives or accommodation read more

I wish I could review this very cute wine bar/restaurant on their food and drinks, but we left after we were ignored for close to 20 minutes after being seated. No one came to take our order, bring water, or to even ask why we were leaving because they probably didn't notice. It was not even half full, and we couldn't get the attention of any of the staff. We became too annoyed to spend our money here. We were really looking forward to trying this place but instead walked down the street to Cellar Bistro. read more

The food here is nothing to rave about. A few family members and myself wanted to go here for brunch - we called to make a reservation since we would be in on a Saturday. The hostess said that it wouldn't be a problem, but there were going to be having a tea there in the afternoon, so as long as we came in before that it would be fine. Well, we made our reservation well before the time the tea was to start thinking we would have no problem. Wrong. Just after we had received our food the hostess came up to us and said "well ladies, we need to set up for the tea now so I'm going to have to sush you out of here". It was very rude, and she definitely cut our time short. I understand having to set up for an event... But why did she tell us to make a reservation for an earlier time, and then still kick us out? Not impressed with this place. read more

BEN saved the day, or should I say night. We went in for the desire to have crepes after our dinner at Montri Thai in Wheaton. Yelp said they'd be open till 10pm, and we were only 5 miles away. We arrived around 9:15pm and wanted dessert but heard the kitchen might already be closed. The time says they close at 9:30pm so someone should modify the time for those traveling for desserts they absolutely have to have. Service is everything and he was very hospitable and accommodating. From beginning to end, smiling, genuine smiles, making sure we were comfortable to choose where ever we wanted to sit. And he made sure we did not need anything else. Perfect. This why this place is getting a 4 star rating. The one off is for the time difference based on Yelp and on the store. Now had our waiter not been there, or had the kitchen said they already closed for the night, it would have been a two star. The decor was nice, but without Ben there would have been a lack of character because the other lady should smile. This is not an art gallery where we have to be so introverted. Smile just a little bit and you will get more stars~ Thanks Ben we had an enjoyable experience. Service is everything and you delivered. As for our desserts we had Banana's Foster Crepe and a Cappuccino Creme Brulee. I liked the other one more, even though I am a coffee flavor type of person. Afterwards we drove home 45 miles away satisfied. I cannot emphasize enough, do not close the kitchen before the time the restaurant shuts down, people travel so far to eat sometimes and it would be nice to have non misleading advertisement with the time. Thanks! read more

What a cute find! We went for our regular Cousins Night for the Christmas Tea and it did not disappoint! It was a different experience, but we enjoyed every moment of it. The food and tea were delicious as well. Normally, we're not big on finger foods, but these were a pleasant surprise. Will return with The Moms in the future. read more

I have only experienced one aspect of their menu so this review is based soley on that. I went with 3 friends for an afternoon "French" tea. Basically you get a slice of homemade quiche or crepes, mixed green salad, freshly baked scones, your choice of dessert and of course tea. My friend had called ahead and requested the tea service, when we got there, they had no idea that we had wanted that. They said that it was going to take longer because they had to bake the scones. No problem. The waitress came for our tea order, we ordered a tea that was described as a French Earl Grey tea. The tea was good but we had to ask for cream and honey, and then we ended up stirring our tea with our knives because there were no spoons in sight. All in all the food was pretty good, the wait staff was friendly but they seemed confused, and then our waitress disappeared and we had 2 other people waiting on us for the rest of our visit. It just seems like they didn't really know completely what they were doing. The scones were fabulous, everything else was okay. The ambience was great, we sat in the bay window overlooking the sidewalk and part of downtown wheaton, the decor was very feminine but it did smell a little musty. I might go back and try eating off their regular menu, it might be a completely different experience. read more

This was a favorite...Until Today!!! NOT AT ALL FAMILY FRIENDLY, and aside from the bad family service...service was horrific for even adults!!! I have never had worse service. My family and I were in Wheaton and thought we'd bring the kids in for a special lunch. Very often on weekends we've seen kids here and they make a special Peanut Butter and Jelly Crepe (Id call that catering to families). There was a bridal party in back who were loud, but the kids were doing well. Their croissants to tide them over were out almost immediately. Soon my husbands and my lunch were brought with no sign of the kids' food. We waited because we couldn't find the waitress. By the time it came (10-15minutes after ours was brought to the table) my husband was more than halfway through with his lunch, and the cheese on mine had hardened. The kids of course melted down in the process and my son told the waitress he didn't want the food anymore and it was yuck (he's 4), for which of course I dealt with however makind half a table wait 10-15 minutes for their food while the other half eats is already unacceptable especially when those whose food is missing are under 5.. At this point she disappeared. We waited 20 minutes to find someone to give our card to and finally brought it to the patiserie counter where 4 servers were hanging out chatting. When our card was brought back there was no itemized list of what we purchased...just the credit card slip with the total. So my husband asked for one from the counter of course as there was no sign of our server. As he sat down to look it over the OWNER(we believe...woman in her late 50's or so red curly hair, heavyset) chased after him and in a shrill and curt tone said that he couldn't keep that and if he absolutely needed a list they would have to re-write one for him, and that it would be an inconvenience. We of course left 0 tip and will never be going back, no will we ever recommend this place as we have in the past. read more

I live in Wheaton and looked forward to my first visit to Suzette's . Cute decor. Restaurant was just about empty. I was very disappointed in the service. Maybe they think the food makes up for indifferent service? Or do they think because they are a "French like restaurant " it is cool to be distant, unsmiling? Wine was served by a different wait staff( possibly due to age of waitstaff ) or she thought she was a sommelier. She was annoyed that she could not rush the table. Appeared too busy to be polite. There was one table with people that we could see. I don't think our waiter smiled one time. The food was Interesting. We asked to split a salad between two people. They ploped the salad down and extra plate and we had to devide the salad ourself. Coconut shrimp was good. I am disappointed that the service was not better because the decor is so nice. They had an opportunity to make a fan of a Wheaton resident. Too bad. read more

I had such high hope for this place, but was sadly disappointed. My husband and I went here today hoping to get a late lunch today, he ordered the beef bourguignon crepe and I ordered the mozzarella, tomato, and basil sandwich. My husband's dish was pretty good, but nothing I thought warranted a $17 price tag for lunch. My dish, on the other hand was, well, made the day before, or at least some time before I ordered it - absolutely unacceptable for a $10 sandwich. How do I know this, you ask? Well, the basil was wilted, the sandwich was slightly smooshed together, and the tomatoes had that not so fresh wilting effect too. On top of that there was no real flavor to my sandwich and I had to ask for some oil and vinegar to add to it... Long story short, I will not be returning to this place for dinner, however the bakery portion looked appetizing.... they even had a sandwich section as well, with pre-made tomato, mozzarella, and basil sandwiches if you wish to order them... I would just recommend asking for olive oil and vinegar to put atop it. read more

We love coming here for breakfast. Fresh and consistently delicious food along with a cute atmosphere. In addition to the great offerings, the owner is wonderful. My husband left his wallet there and they kept it safe until we discovered where he left it. Thank you for your integrity. read more

The service is terrible. Took an hour and a half to get our food and they served fondue even though they had no bread, or apples. Nothing. Said we could eat it with spoons. The worst part is they could care less how they treated us. You have to be an idiot or a 1%er to pay their prices for the crappy service. read more

I really wanted to like Suzette's but it wasn't a good experience. The staff was friendly but the service was only okay. We had to repeatedly ask for drink refills, request enough utensils for the table, and ask for bread that was supposed to accompany the meal. The food service was slow. It took about 40 minutes to get our main course after ordering. Admittedly, they had a couple larger groups in the restaurant at the time and perhaps that caused the delay, but at least keep bringing coffee without being repeatedly asked. Once the food did arrive it was just sufficient; nothing memorable. My dinner date ordered the asparagus salad which was 7 stalks, an egg and bacon and laughable for the price. My chicken crepe was fine, really just a crepe with chicken and gravy and a side salad that consisted of a small handful of greens seemingly without any dressing. The whole plate was not much food. It took about 25 minutes for dessert to arrive after being ordered and right before they brought it out my server informed me that they did not have any bananas for the fudge-bananas crepes and offered to get me a substitute. Not wanting to wait another 25 minutes, I asked for it without the bananas. So picture one sad folded crepe with a bit of chocolate sauce and a smidge of whip cream... $8.50. My dinner date's dessert crepe was equally laughable even with all the ingredients present; four berries, a crepe and a bit of whip cream. So in summary, this meal took two hours to complete, was $105 for the three of us with no alcohol, two desserts, three coffees, three cups of soup, two main courses and a side veggie dish served in fading decor (do you ever look at those carpets?) with sagging, rickety chairs. The true travesty is the you could have easily spent much more for their entrees and still have lack luster service and shabby surroundings. read more

I loved this restaurant! The interior is gorgeous and felt so European, in the first front part there is a bakery and the second front part there is the large dining room which was gorgeous. It looked as though they also had a private room for other dining events. We requested to sit outside on their quaint back patio which reminded me of the apartments in France and even Spain. They even had a little garden in the back. On their breakfast menu, alcohol is not listed, but I believe you need to request it if you want a nice mimosa. I ordered the French scrambled eggs with tomato concasse which came with two pieces of French bread and fruit. Their side of fruit was the typical cantaloupe and honeydew hard melon you usually get from restaurants, but had an abundance of berries and even kiwi on top of their melon! My eggs were absolutely perfect! I am always hesitant of scrambled eggs because they usually turn out too dry but these were wet and moist and cooked to perfection. My boyfriend ordered the ham and cheddar crepe and my friend ordered the spinach crepe and they were both in love with their crepes. Our server was attentive, friendly, and engaging. I even loved the little china teacups that they serve the coffee in. I cannot wait to return for other menu options! read more

Pricey cupcake that tasted about a week old masked with a tasty frosting. Key lime bar was good though.

Took my girls to lunch for the first time at Suzette's. My girl's are 20 and 11, very overpriced for salad greens on a plate. Never offered any type of bread or refill on your drink, total cost for 3 people $70.00!!!! Will not be visiting again. read more

Beautiful, cozy room. Yummy french onion soup. I've had better crabcakes but the crepes were beautiful.

I've spent a few leisurely mornings catching up with friends at Suzette's, and I was really impressed with the relaxing atmosphere and attentive service. The eggs with smoked salmon and crème fraîche were incredible, Suzette's Benedict has ruined me for anyone else's eggs Benedict, and the fresh berry crepe was quite good. I was not impressed by the way that the French Vanilla Cream tea was served (no way to remove the leaves from the pot to prevent oversteeping, and no timer was given, so I had to load it up with sugar and milk to make it drinkable) but the French pressed coffee was very good. I'll stick to the coffee at Suzette's from now on. I'm looking forward to trying the eggs with black truffles! read more

my wife and i have been going here for years and used to love the place. it has gone down hill, which is very sad. Service is horrible and though the food is good they treat people like they should bow down for the right to spend big $$$$ here. We wont go back again. my money can be better spent at a place that makes you feel welcome and not an intruder. read more
