Des Plaines Restaurant Guide

Simply the best duck I have ever had. Like butter. The fig reduction was out of this world. If this place had a decore and wine it would cost three times more don't change a thing it is a very comfortable and casual place with great food. I look forward to trying out the whole menu.

Six of us had dinner on Thurs. evening and were so pleasantly surprised. We met the chef/owner and found him to be a delightful young man only wanting to please us. We all can't wait to return
The Rosenstein's, strauss's and michael's

This restaurant would get a five star rating from me if it wasn't for the atmosphere. The food is wonderful and also beautifully presented. The only thing holding this place back is the decor, bright lights and lack of background music making this a wonderful diner rather than a place to take a date.

Don't be fooled by the low key atmosphere (which I find adds to the charm) or the location in a not-particularly-attractive strip mall. You will be pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and the enthusiastic and friendly chef and staff. I highly recommend the stuffed French toast and the Mediterranean tilapia.

This is way more than just a diner. The food is excellent (especially if you stick with the specials) and very affordable for the quality.
Also, you can bring your own wine and they will provide glasses. I've become a regular!
