Best Casual Restaurants in Downers Grove

Three of us dining, ordered two pizzas and salad, and shared. It was plenty. The pizzas (we had one white and one yellow) were very good. The fungo in white was great. The salad had everything we like and was large enough for 3-4 people. Both pizzas were prepared as expected, based on the techniques advertised, and were really good - thin dough except for the outer crust, cooked completely without being dry or crunchy. Edges properly "burned and blistered". Service was excellent, but we were literally the first customers of the day. It was our first visit, and our server was informative, polite and patient.

Food was good but prices seem to be increasing every time we visit which is every month. Very disappointed that barramundi is not on the menu anymore! Also the people behind us had the same complaint. Alma did a nice job of serving us. I hope that we can continue being wine club members but don’t like to see so many price increases.

We had a very relaxing lunch at The Table at Crate. My husband and I decided to have a “Date Day” to celebrate our 20 year dating anniversary. We were greeted politely, served by an amazing waitress, and received a free dessert with champagne to celebrate. It was fabulous and super generous!

This place is great! We first tried it last Spring and it quickly became our favorite for Italian. We have tried seafood and steak specials too and have never been disappointed. The service is top notch and the food is amazing. You can’t find this quality of food for the price anywhere in the area. Highly recommended spot.

This is the type of restaurant that every community should with they have. We had a wonderful time and dinner it Vistro Prime. It's a very nice space that can handle the casual dinner, first dateor family party. I don't believe youl'll feel out of place no matter what the environment mood your looking for. I would say it's elegant casual. The food was great I had a steak and my date had pasta and we shared a salad. ALL where will prepaded cooked correctly and nicely plated. We had a few cocktails and all came perfect & enjoyable. While the wait staff was friendly & knowledgeable I feel could have been a little more attentive to our table. We enjoyed a table in the middle of the dining room and found it very comfortable , well spaced and conversation friendly ( good for a date ) yet will definitely come back to try the lively bar area. While I reside in downtown Chicago this would be my go to place if I lived in the Hinsdale erea. Give this Gem a try I think you'll be going back again & again.
