Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Des Plaines

We have been fortunate to have hosted many special occasion dinners in the western and southwestern Chicago suburbs at many if not most of the “usual” nicer restaurants, including Morton’s, Gibsons, Capitol Grill, Sullivan’s, Seasons, Hugo Frog Bar, etc. And they have all been good and in some cases exceptional. Somehow we had not discovered Trulucks. Until last night when we went there for our daughter’s birthday. Wow. We were extremely impressed and have a new favorite spot. All the food was exceptional - sea bass, lobster thermidor, scallops, salmon, lobster bisque, and seafood platter. And our server, Francine, was really outstanding. Present, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, without any aspect of pretension or overbearing. Really well done overall and we all look forward to returning soon.

It was a fantastic birthday dinner from start to finish! The wine, appetizers, steaks cooked to perfection and generous portions of all side dishes. A delicious complimentary dessert was such a lovely ending to a perfect evening. My daughter was extremely happy! I would highly recommend it for special occasions or any evening feel like treating yourself.

We had 12 people and had great service because they operate as a team , not just one person serving . Always the best steak and friendly service out of any Steakhouse in Chicago. The steaks are first class and amazing, the sides are wonderful. And the desserts cannot be beat. Far away better than any other steak place in Chicago

Valet staff James and Kevin are amazing and so welcoming Sandra is alway so friendly and kind John is an exceptional person and was highly attentive and truly the nicest Our food was served hot and delicious Thank you for a lovely dining experience

We always love going here for the food & ambience. It’s a great place to catch up bc with friends as the noise level is low. Great food options too. The best part was we were celebrating a big event in my life and when the server heard us, he gave us a free dessert. I thought that was So classy. Totally unexpected butt greatly appreciated.
