I love this place! I just had my bridal shower here and the food was amazing and the service was even better. Stasi worked with me and was able to customize the menu just how I wanted. As a bride who wanted to minimize any additional stress and at the same time have a beautiful shower I couldn’t have picked a better place! Highly recommend!

Loved this place in the heart of downtown Downer's Grove, a short walk from their train station! Beautifully updated historic old building that has a very open spacious interior with the high ceilings. Friendly downtown vibe. Outdoor seating too! . Great cocktail menu and bar . Excellent friendly service , great menu with healthy Mediterranean style dishes, steak and Salmon.. First time eating there while visiting family. The food was incredibly delicious! I ordered the Brick roasted chicken with red potatoes. I originally bought my brother and his wife a gift certificate for them a few years ago, and it's now their favorite restaurant in Downer's Grove!

Dinner out... Grilled octopus was great but too small of a portion for two people, Oysters tasted fresh so thats always a good thing, Paella was disappointing, it was missing the socarrat in the bottom and was under seasoned. Bacon wrap porkchop the fiance said was good, the grilled Alaskan king crab legs were phenomenal, cheesecake was good but I was never a fan of any cheesecakes so :) overall I'll give the restaurant an 8.5 because service was attentive and swift...

Good food with Mediterranean flavors. I expect to end up going again in the future to try different things. Got kind of crowded and noisy on a Saturday night.

Definitely recommend! Atmosphere was cool and unique. Got nervous when I saw the menu and it had dishes from all over the world, knowing no one can do everything well. Guess this place is the exception? Everything was amazing and would definitely recommend as a place that has something for everyone.

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Downers Grove. The cauliflower appetizer was amazing. The Paella main course is unmatched. The espresso martini is perfection. Alberto makes a mean latte! It’s an amazing place. A must try.
