Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Palos Park

I would rate this location a 10/10 the music and vibe was amazing. Our waiter was very nice and made sure she gave us time to order, although we didn’t receive bread our food came out in a timely fashion. The food was amazing my boyfriend and I both got the pretzel crusted pork chops 10/10 definitely a favorite of mine!

One of the best restaurants I've EVER been to! The food was phenomenal, and our service and server were even better! This is a lovely family-owned restaurant and we were there on a busy Valentine's. Even though we showed up early they worked us in quickly. Wine and cocktail selections were great, their pastas are incredible. I'm just so happy we chose Francesca's. We live in Nebraska but will probably drive back every year just for this place!

Exceptional Valentine’s Day Dinner at The Barrel Club – A Night to Remember! I had the pleasure of celebrating Valentine’s Day at The Barrel Club in Oak Lawn, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance set the perfect tone for a romantic evening. The service was outstanding—attentive yet never intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations, ensuring our experience was top-tier. Now, onto the star of the evening—the steak. Cooked to absolute perfection, the cut was tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. Every bite was a delight, paired beautifully with their selection of handcrafted cocktails and a well-curated wine list. The sides were equally impressive, elevating the entire meal to a five-star dining experience. To top it all off, the dessert selection was divine, providing the perfect sweet ending to our night. If you’re looking for an upscale dining experience with impeccable service, outstanding food, and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, The Barrel Club is a must-visit. We will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went for Valentine’s Day the vibe was love. From the music to all the guest. The service was okay due to the food being late and it was a little dry. My first time and won’t be the last.

We went on Valentine's Day for lunch and it wasn't busy. The meats were excellent and my boyfriend was in heaven. The tri-tip and sausages were the high points for me. The parmesan chicken and parmesan pork were rather bland and dry. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have the beef ribs, but the manager told me that certain meats aren't served during lunch to keep the price down, which is fair. The fried bananas and cheese bread were good, but nothing special. I LOVED the potatoes gratin and sauteed mushrooms. The boyfriend loved the mashed potatoes. If you're not a meat eater, you'll be very happy with the salad bar as there was lots of variety and plenty of heartier & higher-end items: potato salad, fresh mozzarella, two kinds of olives, goat cheese, smoked salmon, it goes on and on. I'm obsessed with the very generously-sized papaya mousse dessert, and haven't stopped thinking about it since. The service was really wonderful. The waiter, the gauchos, and manager were all kind and attentive. The waiter kept an eye out and proactively checked in, refilling our drinks and such. The gauchos seem to have a sixth sense for what you need more of. Definitely going back.
