- JJosephVIPChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst time dining at Dolce Restaurant & Wine Bar. Experience was very pleasant and positive on a snowy Valentines evening. Service was very good. Daisy, our server was very attentive and made some very good recommendations. The food was great. Very well prepared and presented. No surprises. My wife and I really enjoyed the live piano music which set a wonderful background for a romantic Valentines dinner. Overall the noise level was very moderate and easy to have a conversation. The prices were inline with the quality of food and service. Definitely will visit Dolce again for the next special occasion.More infoDolce Restaurant & Wine BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Westmont•4.6
- SSharonChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoParker's has become our go-to restaurant for special occasions. My husband & I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day with lunch, and it was a great decision! Our server Maria was friendly, pleasant and helpful. As Maria suggested, we started with a small plate of calamari to share. The calamari were perfectly cooked and accented by both the cocktail sauce and the remoulade sauce. My husband's entre was the lobster roll - delicious and FULL of lobster meat. I chose the fish and chips and was surprised by the size of the serving. I ended up taking half of it home. The fish was incredibly fresh, lightly breaded, and sooooo good. We finished our meal off by sharing the caramel budino, which was rich and decadent, the perfect amount for sharing. All in all, we would recommend Parker's to anyone looking for fresh, well-prepared seafood, a beautiful space, great service, and with convenient parking.More infoParkers' Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downers Grove•4.8
