Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Darien

Christmas Eve dinner at Eddie Merlot's was good. It was very loud, but it is Christmas Eve. Our server was a little overwhelmed. It took a long time to get her attention, but she was certainly doing her best. Slight issues in getting what we ordered like incorrect items and not bringing drinks after they've been ordered. The oysters Rockefeller were awesome. Perhaps the best my wife has ever had, and she has eaten them at many a restaurant. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the creme brulee was excellent according to all who tried it. Stay away from the potatoes au'graten as they were horrible. All in all, it was ok. Five adults and a bill of $550 seemed a little more than I would have expected. Good, not great!

Our first time at this location and it was as expected - delightful. Terrific service and food. A Christmas Eve experience to be remembered.

Everything was outstanding, except for our waiter. He was not attentive to our table, impersonal and had no idea of who ordered what. The restaurant was either short staffed or our waiter just didn’t do a very good job.

I’m a regular at the Hampton Social and it just gets better each and every time. While I am new to the Burr Ridge Location, it has been nothing but exceptional. Alyssa is such an amazing server, she is very attentive and kind. Zach was the bar tender and he made our drinks to perfection each time. The general manager Brian, was just as amazing as the rest of the staff. He did his table touches and made sure our experience was nothing but top tier. 12/10 definitely will come again. 

This is the best hibachi spot around. The quality and staff are always on point. Great value and the whole family loves it
