Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Des Plaines

Excellent food but even better, excellent service. They made the evening to celebrate my birthday very memorable

Our server for the night Brian had done an outstanding job, food absolutely delicious as well as the desserts to die for , especially the chocolate mousse !

Bring your appetite and save room for a lovely cocktail and dessert. If you can’t find parking on the street, the restaurant will validate your parking ticket and parking is still free. There is a 20% service charge added to your tab. Don’t let that discourage you from having a nice time at the Sugar Factory. Jordan, Francisco and Adrian provided excellent service.

Our server (Jacob) was awesome! In fact, everyone was great…The hostess knew I was joining the other guests, a brunette female server was super helpful, too! Three of us girls had not seen each other in a few years and we had a lot of catching up to do! No rushing us…plenty of water refills…etc.

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was a lovely afternoon. The servers were quick with anything we needed and were always friendly. They were also helpful - my husband asked for Turkish coffee and the server responded that black coffee was included but there would be an extra charge for Turkish. Totally reasonable and I appreciated not getting a surprise added charge later. The food was solid, especially the cold apps/salads, cig kofte, lentil soup, bread basket, and the two meats made from ground meat. It's tough to prepare food for such a large group, so not surprising that the chicken kebabs were drier than I'd like. I was sad not to see any lamachun available, as it was listed. But that's okay as that's also something that's better when it's piping hot. At no point did anyone indicate that they needed our table, which can be a concern both at buffets and on holidays. We were able to relax between courses and enjoy the holiday as a family. I'd happily return!
