I love the lobster and shrimp choices, sushi is more than just raw fish and Ra shows that in their menu choices. Not to mention they have a fabulous selection of great soups and other entrees (I recommend the soup, they are all delicious). I have been to Chinatown in downtown Chicago, and I still love Ra, sometimes even more than those restaurants. The atmosphere is very contemporary, relaxed and friendly. Amazing service and wonderful food..definitely worth trying! Please do!!!
Pros: Ambience, food, service
Cons: Parking, value (a little expensive for the younger crowd)

My family all loves this place! Very European atmosphere but not a place to bring the kids. The food is to die for and changes seasonally. I'd recommend splitting everything in order to experience every course because you don't want to miss any of it. Its supposed to be a longer evening so its a great place to bring a date or small group of friends.

Don't know where to begin. Ditch the Olive Garden, ditch Macaroni Grill, ditch any italian restaurant you have ever been to and run to Buca Di Beppo.
My stepbrother loves this place and has to go there everytime he is in town. I went with him and the rest of our family for father's day this summer. Oh my gosh. First of all the atmosphere is homey and comfortable, nothing pretentious at all. You can basically wear pretty much whatever (I suggest elasticized pants).
The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I kid you not. You must go. Everything is served family style so you order a few different things and everyone passes it around. My favorite was the fork tender chicken, blah, blah, blah insert some italian sounding name here. WONDERFUL. The garlic bread with cheese was incredible. Everything, really, was fabulous. I can't say enough good htings about it.
The drawbacks? it's a bit spendy (well a lot spendy for my budget but my step brother paid). The other thing to know is that I would not consider this a good place to bring small kids. It's just not a kid friendly place for them. You' won't enjoy it as much. I am speaking from experience as I had my one year old with and didn't get a whole lot of chance to eat as I kept grabbing utensils, glasses, table cloth and napkins away from him.
Definitely a must-go restaurant.

Greek Islands is by far my favorite restaurant in the Chicago suburbs. I've been there with my husband and parents, on my way to the symphony and just having come back from a long day of shopping-- every time, I've been made to feel welcome and completely at home.
Every time we've gone, the parking lot has been packed, but don't let that discourage you. The seating capacity is surprisingly large, and an estimated twenty minute wait usually ends up being about ten.
The food and atmosphere is upscale casual. The wine list is impressive, if you're looking for affordable but delicious wine. The lamb is divine, and all of their appetizers are quite tasty.
Ultimately, your experience depends on your server; we've had unbelievable service most times, but once we got stuck with a "dud" waiter who didn't seem to care about our table. Overall, though, it's a fantastic restaurant with reasonable prices for wonderful Greek fare!

The Weber Grill Restaurant bills itself as real-deal barbecue. Having spent a couple of years in Kansas City, MO, I was a bit disappointed. The food is certainly passable, and I might even say good, but certainly not spectacular. The cuisine would be beat hands-down by any old mom-and-pop. The atmosphere is nice, but nothing amazing. The bar is pretty average. Take a pass on this mediocre BBQ.

This is a restaurant where they grill everything on Weber Kettle Charcoal Grills, even dessert. Everything has a unique grilled taste. The atmosphere is elegant which is strange for a restaurant that grills everything. The prices are reasonable. It is a must go if you are in the Chicago area.

Best breakfast place you can have! Delicious fresh fruit cup (complementary) to start your meal, great coffee and tasty, fresh and plentiful platters of food. Menu choices are very wide including pastries. Waitresses always nice but seem stressed under pressure of their work load.

I used to go here ALL the time as a kid. It was sort of the cooler Chuck-e-Cheese. You'll find all your usual games here plus some neat add-ons, like the simulated roller coaster ride and the real-life water jet you can ride on as you play the game. Its a cool place to go even now. There's a lot to do and you'll definitely have a good time. And you might even come out with a little prize if you get enough tickets!

I rate it as the best, simply because of the location, the courtesy of the shopkeeper, a true symbol of Indian culture. I found it the best Indian/Pakistani grocery in Lombard/Glen Ellyn/Villa Park/oak brook areas.
You will almost find everything arranged orderly in the racks. The prices are reasonable and are only next to Devon Street, but then you have to drive 30 miles in this windy city and then get groceries? He has a huge compilation of hindi and telugu DVDs, both new and old.
I would certainly recommend you all to go there and see. I liked it !!!
Try going on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to find fresh new samosas, Kachoris, mirchis and roti/chapati/paratha, absolutely rocking in taste. No other Indian store/restaurants around have such tastier ones.
PS - This store does not have the nasty smell of meats and also the resulting unclean atmosphere!

Starting about 6 months ago my wife, 3 year old son and I have dined at Greek Islands in Lombard with and without friends several times. It has always been busy, but we usually are seated within 15minutes. The Fried Zucchini with Garlic Sauce is awesome. That and the Saganaki are our must orders. Usually my wife and son share the Gyros and I get the combination platter. We always say we will try another dish, but I guess we both can't stop ordering our favorites. The prices are very reasonable and I can see us going here regularly for many many years.
Pros: Excellent Food, Value and Ambience
Cons: One time we were put at a cramped table near a column. The bread could be improved- order the appetizers instead.
