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!
Pros: Great food, Excellent Winelist, Friendly atmosphere

The food here is great, but I go back for the excellent service. Not only is the waitstaff always good, but the owners go above & beyond to ensure happy patrons. Recently I used a B1G1 Entertainment book coupon here, and they allowed me to use a second coupon since there were 4 people in my party. Definitely worth a visit!

Santa Fe is a fixture of GE. It started out in a very small rental but moved to a nice big place a few years ago. In fact, they even have a party room in the basement.
Best Margaritas and best Mexican food around (though I do not recommend their burritos. Steak Tacos with fresh cilantro and onion. It's not on the menu, but the only way to go! Their tostadas are the best as well!)
The owners are a bunch of sisters who do everything from bartending to waitressing. There really is nothing like being waited on by the owners! They sometimes have amazing specials, or, if you ask nicely, an impressive supply of tequilas you will have never heard of. A little on the pricey side, but if you want to enjoy good food and drink with friends, this is the place to go!
I should know, we go every two weeks.

We have brough numerous injured animals to the haven. It is very educational for the kids to learn about animals and walk around and explore while seeing animals through their recovery.
Wish it was a bit bigger.

Center Ice is a very nice indoor ice skating rink. It is a fun place to go with your family in the winter. Though it does get crowded, it remains relatively safe, so you don't have to worry about people pushing and shoving the younger kids. Don't forget to warm up with a nice cup of hot chocolate from the concession stand after you've taken a few laps around the rink!

More
For the last 40 years I have gone to Alfies for the hamburger or cheesburger and never bothered to try anything else the burgers are that good. About ten years ago I tried the ribs. The ribs are as good as any I had at Naperville's rib fest. All the food is good but the burgers and ribs are outstanding. The menu is growing after decades of a menu I could memorize. Maybe in 30 years I might venture away from the burgers and ribs. Maybe
Pros: great burgers, outstanding ribs, ample parking
Cons: can get crowded

This is a fairly large gym with state of the art equipment. The staff is super friendly and very supportive. This gym has it all, from tennis, to yoga, to swimming, and of course the cardio and free weights. I have joined this club because it offers it all to me. They even have a small sports shop for gym apparel and workout bags. Also there is a spa for those days you just want to relax. Every time I go to this gym I feel like I am in a retreat. It is excellent!

Curly's is a nice pub/restaurant. Though in a small space, it has a table section and a bar area. It also has a really nice beer garden out back.
They have a typical "American" selection of food on their menu, from hamburgers to chicken sandwiches, etc. They have a nice beer selection, and the staff is always very friendly.
They also have live music. As it is a small space, it can get very, very crowded.

The food here is really good. Their salsa is actually served warm. I love that, but some people don't like that. Their fajitas are very fresh tasting. I also like thier nachos. They have good guacamole, too.
I love their bar. The staff and servers here are always nice. They remember you each time you come in, which is rare.
It is a bit expensiv fow what it is. After all, Mexican ingredients are not costly. However, this is Glen Ellyn, and a lof of things are expensive.
Pros: Great food
Cons: expensive for mexican
