Restaurants near Illinois Avenue Park

We ere enjoying family from out of town. My father in-law order a dish he did not like and not only did the restaurant replace it with a dish of another choice they did not charge him for his main dish. The food / service especially with the owner was outstanding. One of our favorite restaurants and will continue to go back again. Thank you

Salmon over cooked. Fish tacos did not have fresh taste or crisp. They have been better.

Wow! I can’t say enough good things about Giardino. From the service to the food to the cocktails, everything was phenomenal. The flavors were perfection and complemented each other in such a good way. The ambiance in the restaurant was cheerful and bright—definitely will be such a compliment to this beautiful city. Downtown Aurora has needed a concept like this for a long time and Giardino did not miss the mark. The meatballs were so flavorful, the burrata and prosciutto—chefs kiss! We had three pizzas and two different pastas, all of which were so delicious. I am so so happy that this gem is right in downtown Aurora. I can’t wait to come back again!

Thoroughly our lunch. The presentation was great, there was an abundance of food and well worth another visit. I would recommend Cooper's Hawk to everyone. Thank you

I went for my birthday on a Wednesday night. Not very busy but that was actually nice to me. Great ambiance. Food and cocktails were good! Our waiter was awesome. He let my fiance sample the wine before committing to which one he wanted which not many people do. they also gave us a sake shot and dessert for my birthday!
