I am looking for recommendations for our annual anniversary dinner (we do go out more than once a year, but this is the guaranteed no-child-at-the-table dinner). In past adults only dinners we have gone to (please ignore spelling errors/typos) Adelles, Cab's, Sweetwater's, Mykah's and Les Deux Autres. We have our favorites, of course, but like to try something new for this annual event. I was thinking about the Cellar Bistro. Any other suggestions?

I second that on Bistro Monet. We went to Ra in Yorktown this year for our anniversary. It's trendy but very excellent sushi.

Capitol Grille - by far the best meal I've had in the Western Suburbs.

I hate to do this, but I agree with Fan. Maybe not THE best, but a top 5.

Really!! Were you paying? Who were you dining with? I heard some recent research found that the quality of the meal experience was more dependent on the people you dine with than the actual food. Even bad service was overlooked if you were out with people you really like to spend time with. What did you order?  |

Our favorite restaurant is Vie in Western Springs. We have been there many times and have never been disapointed.

I've heard Vie is great. RE: Capitol Grille - ate there with my wife. I had the lamb chops and thought they were wonderful. I paid. I've never been a FAN of the Chicago location so it was a great surprise. Why Mom2? You no like? "Often Wrong, Never in Doubt" |

Not at all - just seeking information. One of the hubby's former partners can't pass by the place (in the city, though) without going in - so it colored my opinion.
 That's all. |

Praga in Lombard - right on St. Charles Rd., just west of Main St. We went for Valentine's Day, and really loved it.

If you want to get out of GE area, head to Topaz in Burr Ridge...The food was great and the service was great as well.....I had the lamb chops and they were awesome....

I will skip recommending Bistro Monet...and suggest Suzette's in Wheaton. It pains me to do it, but I must.
|

Correct me if I am wrong, (lol) but isn't Suzettes for a girly lunch with those thin pancake thingy's.
Has the fare changed? |

I also second Praga, great value and IMHO MUCH better than Bistro Monet.

If you've never had dinner there...I highly recommend it. Period. Booze and wine galore, too. But yes...during the day you'd be hard-pressed to find any self-respecting former lacrosse goalie in the place. |

Please keep posting restaurant ideas as Mr. Scotty will be taking me out for a lovely dinner tonight and for that matter, the rest of the week. He made some rather critical remarks about the dinner I made last night!

We went to Adelle's for their 1/2 price wine night last Wednesday. The more we go here, the more we appreciate it. It has grown by leaps and bounds from when they first opened, so if you haven't tried it in a while, give it another try.
I had the flatiron steak with garlic mashed and they had a side of sauteed swiss chard (IMO, an underutilized green that deserves a lot more attention) with pancetta that was fantastic with the steak. Also, the atmosphere and service are great. They have some good, longstanding servers that pay attention to your needs. The patio is truly one of the best in the west suburbs for outside dining (now that 120 Ocean Place/Johnny D's went bye-bye). “In a letter to "Dear Abby" a reader complained that a gay couple was moving in across the street and wanted to know what he could do to improve the quality of the neighborhood. Her suggestion - 'You could move.'” |

Braxtons in Oak Brook for fish!
I've done for fun on my birthdays - Pappadoux in Westmont. Great food, but lighter atmosphere. and I even love - though not always a hit with some people, -Melting Pot. Haven't been there in a few years but it was always a nice long dinner. If you're willing to travel - Cafe LeCave -Mannheim, DesPlaines, out of this world dining experience! especially for anniversary or birthday. |

I agree with your review. It has become one of my favorites as well....that is.....if my wife and I ever go out again. Anyways, try the whitefish next time. So good. "Often Wrong, Never in Doubt" |
