Restaurants near Chicago Golf Club

This was our first time there. It is is very beautiful restaurants. We were greeted with a warm welcome and were seated promptly. The tables are set so as not to make you feel crowded. We ordered the almond crusted bread as our starter. It was nicely prepared and well presented. We each ordered a side Ceasar salad. Unfortunately, there was not much to it and could have easily been skipped. In fact, my guest sent hers back as it was very pedestrian. I ordered the lobster crusted filet 'special' and my guest ordered the Diablo pasta! Both were served hot, were very tasty and elegantly presented. We shared the strawberry mousse cake for dessert. It was very decadent! We did not order alcohol, and we got the sense that we were being 'rushed'. We were not offered coffee with dessert. From the time we sat down until the time we left, it was about 70 minutes. A bit rushed. Obviously, they wanted to turn our table 4 or 5 time for the evening. I would recommend dining at IVY, though be prepared to underwhelmed. For a 'romantic' Valentine's dinner it wasn't very 'romantic'. The 'coolest' thing was the light-up menus!

Everything was perfect for our Valentines Day dinner. We started with a wine tasting which was very fun. Tried some new and delicious wines. Then off to dinner and it was awesome. Started with chicken potstickers and they were gone quickly, so yummy. For my dinner, I had filet medallions with scallops and it was all cooked to perfection. Never a bad time at Coopers Hawk.

We had a lovely Valentine’s Day lunch! The place was busy but not frantically so. After some initial trouble getting the table setting right, the service was very smooth. This time we thought the lamb was the star, followed by the Parmesan pork. The salad bar (which we know not to overdo!) nicely diverse. We’ve learned you can’t go wrong with Fogo de Chao.

We have been here twice, and both times, the food & atmosphere were top notch. If you like green beans, their Tempura Green Beans with black sesame and plum sauce are incredible. And, on Thursday nights there is a small Jazz band in the bar, which is cozy too.

We have been going to Il Sogno for many years to celebrate family birthday's and special occassions. This time it was for my wife's birthday and it did not disappoint. Great appetizers, drinks and meals with outstanding service. We highly recomend this Wheaton Gem.
