Restaurants near Fullerton County Forest Preserve

Rosemary and Jeans is a gem in downtown Lombard, steps from Lilacia Park. Whether you’re craving classic Italian comfort food or a unique dining experience in a historic setting, this restaurant delivers. I can’t wait to return for another memorable meal

Roasted cauliflower appetizer was great, just remove jalapeño peppers on top. I ate one, big mistake. Brussels sprout side with pork belly bits was delicious. Ribeye sandwich had great flavors with the onions and peppers. Ribeye meat was a nice thick portion cooked medium rare, but had some grizzle. Once grizzle cut out, it was good. Our server, Jamie, was very helpful with recommendations, since it was our first time. He was personable and made our meal special. Marianne, the manager, also came over a couple of times to check on us. It was a fun lively place with a big bar.

Great food and great service, every time we go there.
