I went alone to this restaurant for breakfast with my three small kids (suicide). This place used to be a dennys quite a while ago and wow, things had really changed since Danby's came along. It is very nicely decorated. Very warm and inviting. I felt very comfortable being there. The waitress I had was very helpful. She immediately got my kids crayons and paper without me having to ask. She was very helpful with my kids' special requests. The food came very quickly (mercifully since my kids were acting like monkeys). I was happy, my kids were happy and the experience was remarkably peaceful and sane..

I love this place (and not just because I went to school with one of the owner's sons). The food is terrific, and the ambience is wonderful.
But really I just love their gnocchi. It's served with a fantastic vodka/tomato sauce. The pasta, though, is just so light and delicate. A true master piece.
Delicious, and I usually don't like going out for Italian (I prefer to just make it myself).

In fact, this really is a small town kind of grocery store. There have been so many times I've tried to just stop in to pick up a few things and its been closed! (it's not a 24-7 kind of shop).
The butcher is fabulous. He will cut meat anyway you like it, and the meat is always top quality (you pay for it too!).
You do have to be careful about expiration dates on some products, and the produce isn't always very good, but they have the basics, plus some, and provide a great service to all the elderly that can just walk there.

Great Trader Joes here. Trader Joes is a good place to get nice quality snack foods really. To me it seems like the whole store is made up of things to snack on. Which is fine. You can get some really delicious specialty type items. They have some organics and other fruits, vegs, the selection is small but its ok. When I go there I basically get things like cashews, organic raisins, ie..snack foods. You could do some real grocery shopping there too, prices will be a lot higher though. I would go and check it out if you've never been to one, you will like the experience.

I like the Panera here. It has a nice feel to it and has a little more intimate dining area than some other panera's. It could be the lighting or how it is situated in its location. The food is fine, typical standard panera. Overall this is a relaxing Panera and a nice place to eat in the winter. I say that because I often get soup from panera and it’s better in the winter.

I really don't like Shannon's....which probably started since I worked at Santa Fe right next door for a few years and we'd joke about our "competition" for the small Glen Ellyn bar scene. However, my friends and I often do end up here despite my mild protests. One regular waitress is downright rude, and it is almost laughable how many people from all walks of life have found this to be true. The food is alright, but I'm always surprised when the kitchen closes early.
I will say- the patio in the back is great. In the summer it's open air, and in the winter they light the fire and it's nice and cozy.

Last night we ordered "Take-out" from this place. We had hoped for delivery, and their menu actually said they had delivery, but we quickly realized that they have been hit with business so hard that they just cannot keep up.
In fact, we were told our food would be ready in 30-45 minutes. We waited 45, and then went. Well, we had to wait 1.5 hours to get our food, but it was mostly worth it.
The portions were small for the price, but delicious. I had the best vegt fried rice I have ever had. Everyone loved their meal and didn't care about the wait or the cost.
Rents are high in GE, so restaurants have to charge a bit.
It supposedly is a very nice restaurant inside.
