   Tallgrass created a beautiful dining atmosphere to serve superior creative fare. Highly recommend you check out the only fine dining option outside of Chicago for those in Southwest suburbs.

   We visited Tall Grass over 5 years ago for an occasion dinner & our experience was top notch & unforgettable. This was neither. To be fair, the server stated that this Mother’s Day brunch was a new endeavor for Tall Grass. The service was fine. As we walked in we were (sort of) greeted by the woman behind the bar who simply said, you have a reservation? We responded, good morning & yes we do. We were seated in the rear of the restaurant by the window. The server warned us we had one hour exactly for our reservation. The drinks were delicious— a latte & a mayday. We promptly ordered after our warning. We both ordered Mother’s Day brunch prime ribs with eggs & breakfast potatoes. After we put our orders in I asked more questions such as, what variety of cheese is in the “cheese & spinach” quiche you stated was seasonal. The server asked, which was appreciated. It’s just something the former menu would have provided with detail. My husband also noted how much the ambiance had changed & how he missed it. He also thought the menu was different when he made the reservation. The prime rib had substantially less flavor than we thought it would. We ordered Med. & Med Rare. The eggs were good & breakfast potatoes were delicious. All in all a 3 out of 5. We might try again just to experience the dinner.

   Had brunch at TallGrass. we hadn’t been there in years. Everything was outstanding - the service, the food, the cocktails. Great outdoor patio too. Definitely heading there for dinner soon.

   We have been wanting to try the restaurant for some time. Came to TallGrass for a special birthday, just the two of us. Greeted well. Then the evening went south. Placed in a far corner, small table among full tables, very close to all. Waitress was very kind, but not well versed in anything French cuisine, or their wine list. WE tried the Charcuterie board, and that seemed to be the star of the meal. The Gnocchi was good temp, but poor texture. Dumplings not held together well, starting to meld with the sauce. The Asparagus was a tad undercooked. Beautiful presentation. Pork tenderloin, good, but not great with flavor. The knives we were given, could not cut the meat. When we asked for knives to cut properly, the waitress said she would have to clean some. By the time she returned with one knife... the pork was cool, and we were pretty done with it all. Maybe they were hit with a larger number of diners and help not ready to handle it? I guess we chose the wrong day to come and try it out. Beautiful surroundings, and easy to park.

   My husband and I were happy Tallgrass reopened. We went tonight for our anniversary dinner. Everything was delicious. The service was fantastic; the server gave us a personalized anniversary menu and offered each of us a glass of complimentary prosecco. The bread and butter is a must!

    The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the building is beautiful. The service was great. It's a smaller place (about 8 tables) so make sure you get a reservation. We will definitely be back. We had a charcuterie, the steak, and gnocchi, and the French dessert. They made our wedding anniversary extra special ♡
