    You honestly cannot go wrong with any Lettuce restaurant! Absolutely stellar service, welcoming host, beautiful atmosphere, and delicious food! We shared the Costa Mesa salad and Margherita pizza and both were fantastic. Food came quickly, our server was friendly and attentive. I will be back!

    Amazing experience for my wife and my 5 year anniversary! We are big Ramsay fans, and have been anxiously waiting to try his restaurant in Naperville but it was a bit out of our price range at the moment, so we were very excited to to go to his burger bar ! Amazing service, atmosphere, and the food was phenomenal! We can’t wait to return !

    We went for an intended game of curling and a lunch, but cut ourselves off after the appetizers. The curling was fun, it’s a slightly smaller court and there are no brooms involved, but it’s still the heavy stones. The game and strategy is more like bocce than I expected. The person attending the courts helped us keep score which was nice. Then after the session we went intending for lunch. We got the pretzel and it was not only overcooked but also seemed stale. (Like it was heated for the second time.) The beer on tap was good but it was at this point we cut the meal short.
