    I took my girlfriend's father out to dinner. His wife, my gf, and her sister were out to celebrate birthdays and a girls' night out. We had a very nice dinner. Great food, and our server Scott was really good! I have always highly recommended this place. It's just north of downtown Naperville across I-88. None of all the crowd and all the same old places. This is really good food, attentive yet respected service. Live music and a very lively bar on the weekend. I love this place!

    The restaurant is beautiful. We went at three and there was just one other table. I wish they would open for lunch. It is brand new. Service was outstanding. They not only wished me happy birthday but brought four small cannolis with a candle. The food was excellent.

    Our dinner outing to Suzette's Creperie in Wheaton encompassed two birthday celebrations amidst their casual French ambience and lovely background music. The appetizer course consisted of gnocchi in a brown butter sauce, always a popular item. Both bottles of fabulous red wines were perfectly served and enjoyed. Everyone's dinner selections including crepes were prepared with care and tasted delicious! We all shared a fruit tart served with excellent whipped cream for dessert, while Suzette's provided our birthday celebrants with a special "sweet to go".
