Not worth the prices!. Number one, the food is overpriced, not that great and you leave hungry. Number two, the bartender, who has been the same guy the last few times I was in there, is a moron! The kind of bartender that thinks because he's minding the 'crack' he's all-knowing and tries to intimidate the people at the bar (why he's still there, I'll never know!). And number three, the place should be shut down by the health department! I've seen what goes in and out of the back and they're not all human! Stay away!…
Wine country dining in the burbs.
The new (?) owners have kept up the quality although the wine list has been shrunk down dramatically (No access of the wine store next door).
Service is excellent and attentive, better than what you typically get in the burbs. Pacing is very good and you usually do not wait between courses.
Menu selection is excellent with some interesting game entrees. Salads are excellent and deserts are also wonderful. My only complaint is that I would like to see a bit more rotation in the overall menu. But the preperation, plating and portions are excellent and a good value.
Check out sundays where they have a jazz band and their wine maker dinners.
A con I used to have was the entry way used to blast cold air into the restaurant during the winter, that has been fixed.…
consistently an interesting experience. This is one of the most consistently excellent places in Glen Ellyn. The menu is diverse, interesting and takes risks to be exceptional; the wine list is extensive and reasonably priced; and the ambience is city-like and sophisticated. The staff works hard to create an enjoyable experience, and if you have a problem, the owners are accesible to listen and resolve. It's a wonderful special-occasion place that has impressed my out -of towner guests.…
Pleasant, eclectic bistro draws a well-heeled Glen Ellyn crowd for eclectic, French-inspired fare..
In Short
This comfortably casual, special-occasion destination features a small, airy dining room with storefront windows and skylight, and a bar with rustic, colorfully painted stools. The
eclectic menu offers a few bistro classics such as escargots and steak frites; other offerings include everything from blackened catfish to simple Mediterranean penne with peppers, olives, mushrooms and provolone. Best bets are appetizers like silky duck liver pate loaded with garnishes of pickled beets, mustards and cornichons.…
A Wonderful Experience. Time and again, I have found Cab's to be a wonderfully delightful experience. Upon entering, one is struck at once with both the genuine friendliness of the staff and the chic, modern decor. One is quickly enveloped in the festive mood, where laughter and cheery conversation flow freely over tasty appetizers, main courses and wines. The ecclectic menu is a delight to ones tastebuds, often surprising with an astute justapositioning of flavors to great effect. Clearly, Chef Luis Ayllon is one of Chicagoland's best kept secrets!…
