Restaurants near Ancient Oaks Day Use Area

I have been a Gordon Ramsay fan for 25 years, until today I had never been able to dine at one of his signature restaurants. My wife and I made the trip to the Ramsays Kitchen in Naperville, IL for her 40th Birthday. It was everything we could have hoped for being such fans of Hell’s Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, etc. Started our evening with some cocktails and an appetizer of the Parker rolls. They were the best dinner roll I ever had. Toasted Brioche roll, covered in a herb butter and sea salt. Crispy on the top with air like fluffiness everywhere else. My wife had the Shrimp and Lobster Pasta and I had the legendary Beef Wellington. It was everything I hoped it would be and worth every penny. My wife was also kind enough to share a bite of her pasta for a bite of the Wellington….worth it for both of us! This meal was also accompanied by a side of their famous Truffle Fries, which were cooked to perfection, the truffle aioli was great! As this was a Birthday, it was celebrated with a Sticky toffee pudding, which is topped with Vanilla ice cream, and served with a caramel sauce. They brought my wife’s with a candle and said “Don’t worry, we won’t sing, but wish you the happiest of birthdays!”Extremely polite and caring staff. The pudding was rich but smooth, sweet and savory, creamy, salty and I would have this any time. Multiple staff members wished my wife a happy birthday, and truly made this a personalized experience. Would recommend this establishment to EVERYONE. Thank you Ramsay’s Kitchen for a wonderful evening and a memorable experience!

From the Valet to Service Staff was outstanding. Great Waitress, Sylvia, checking back with us during our meal was fantastic. We didn't feel forgotten or rushed. We went for a Christmas celebration with friends (3). Most enjoyable. The Food was fantastic: Mahi Mahi, Vegan Risotto and Parmesan crusted Chicken. Highly Recommended! Negative: Very loud. We couldn't hear our own conversation.

A great dinner after my presentation from work with my daughter. Luke was our server in the bar area and he was phenomenal!!! He was very patient with us and got everything right. There was also teamwork from others dropping off wine samples. The manager (male) did his table touches and overall a great night. New Lenox please give Luke a shoutout and a little extra holiday cheer for us. I wish yall did programs where servers who receive compliments get more recognition because they also make the dining experience as a whole. Thank you LUKE!!!

Celebrated our anniversary there and our server was very sweet and complimentary! She made excellent recommendations for chef’s selection and dessert. Both of our meals were absolutely fabulous! 

Would recommend sandwiches: ribeye and hamburger were excellent! Shrimp and chicken dinners were overcooked and lacked flavor. Waitress and bartender were excellent! Large glass of wine was greatly appreciated! We’ll definitely go back for house-made dessert’. .
