Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Franklin Park

We enjoyed a wonderful meal, experience in an establishment that was totally memorable. Thank you.

Strip steak was excellent, but it should be for the price and the portion size. There is no more complementary bread basket – you need to pay $16 for Parker house rolls dessert which was the apple cobbler was missing the whipped cream.

Service was particularly wonderful in the restaurant upstairs , from a rapid welcome to offering drinks, opening our bottle (both options ) to menu and meal delivery . There is a coat rack a little hidden behind the curtain by the bathroom that’s very useful in this cold season. Food was excellent : we shared a salad all ingredients fresh well seasoned more than enough in 2, and each had an entree abundant and delicious the famous burger, Korean version, and the “half chicken “ boneless served with delicious squash purée . Despite being full it was a very pleasant noise level really not loud . I love the lighting and spruce-like wall color We will definitely come again! They have a wonderful couple of private rooms either for a couple or for 6, which could allow privacy for business or simply friendly conversation. When weather I’d look forward to an upgrade of tables - maybe tablecloth and stabilized table foot.

BRAVO - WELL DONE! 5:00 on Saturday right after New Year. Almost full restaurant by 6pm. Our waiter was timely, attentive but not intrusive. Spicy shrimp appetizer - high quality ingredients cooked to perfection with toast baguette slices for dipping in addictive sauce. Not spicy so that is misleading. Grilled Octopus appetizer - perfect execution and taste. Cassoulet - a myriad of flavors - enjoyed everyone. A lot of beans. Flounder - Easy to mess up by overcooking but it was cooked perfectly along with green beans and light pasta accompaniment.

Our meal was outstanding, as always. At Mistral, my husband and I always share what we order. Today, we especially enjoyed the Crispy Salmon Bites and the Grilled Radicchio Salad. Everything was delicious including my cocktail, the “Louisiana Purchase.” Yum!
