    Deviled eggs
    Vandana M.

    Absolutely loved and enjoyed the food here. Lots of Vegan and Gluten Free options to choose from, not only in appetizers and entress but also on deserts. The ingredients are fresh! The food tastes amazing, the service is friendly and the place is located at a great spot in Naperville downtown. If you pay through InKind, you get 20% cash back. Definitely give it a try! I will be sure to come back again.

    So so good!!!! Everything tasted amazing!!! Highly recommend!!! The manager was so kind and came out to talk about the restaurant.

    I enjoyed my time here. I'm a person who loves avocados. Therefore, going to this restaurant was very enjoyable. Everyone was very polite. I was able to try avocado cheesecake and avocado brownie both was very delicious. They put them in bowls that look like they were made of avocado leaves. Neat. I had one of their sampler which included avocado deviled eggs, avocado egg rolls, avocado fries, and avocado tomato bruschetta. All I can say is it was very yummy. Along with their avocado colada I ended up being very full. I also ordered a avocado Buddha bowl and avocado strawberry banana smoothie. Which I ended up bringing home because I was just too full. I tried a few sips of their watermelon cucumber juice drink. It was delicious but not my favorite. Yet I've come to understand I'm just not a fan of watermelon juice yet I like watermelon. This place is located in downtown Naperville. I'll update once I try the other things that I brought home. Avocado banana strawberry smoothies. Yummmy The Buddha bowl was good. I loved the avocado dressing just needed more of it. Some pieces were A bit spicy to me. Yet, my daughter stated it was not even a bit spicy. I have a lower than low spice tolerance. Overall I enjoyed this avocado concept restaurant and I will return. Also I enjoyed how the place was decorated. It had abocado facts. And lovely avocado king mural on the wall. Having the free infused water tanks available while you wait (even for pick ups ). added to the warmth of the place.

    Sample platter
    Audra M.

    Avocado Theory is completely awesome. I cannot brag on the whole menu, as I was just there for the sample platter, but it was 10/10. If I lived closer, I would be here regularly, as I loved the food and the vibe a ton. Obviously, if you do not like avocados, this is not the place for you. But if you do, you will love every moment. From free, whimsical stickers at the door, to avocado facts on the walls, you will embrace your avocado-loving self and enjoy the experience to the max. They even have an adorable little marketplace for fun avocado-themed items. The house sample platter, all made with avocado, includes fries, deviled egg, samosas and egg rolls. All are excellent. They are served with aioli and sweet and sour sauce. There was not a bummer in the bunch. I was especially loving the fact they don't offer sugary drinks, but instead offer two kinds of complementary flavored waters. I adore this stance so much - they explained, via signage, that they want to offer a healthier option. The fact they provide flavored water (lemon and mixed fruit) is very cool. Service was excellent in this super clean, modern space. They even have a small outside seating area. I will be back whenever I am in Naperville.

    The food is where it is at, the space is where it is not. We both said that as we were leaving that we would eat there again, but get it to go. The food is where clearly the focus of Avocado Theory. We tried the sampler platter, avocado cheese cake and tacos. We would get those again in a second. The concrete floors look dingy and dirty, the tables were kind of dirty looking and the space behind the beverage area was piled with stuff. The plates were neat and appreciated learning about the leaves, but made me question if they were just tossed out or cleaned in some way. The food came out fast, but not overly friendly.

    The Tucson salmon and the mushroom soup.
    April F.

    I got the salmon Tucson entree with the mushroom soup. The salmon was hands down one of the best salmon dishes I had ever had. It was a ton of flavor and a lot of a creamy, hearty sauce. I had enough for two full portions and it tasted just as good the next day. The mushroom soup was also fantastic. The waitstaff was very pleasant. I liked that they served natural flavored water. I got the pineapple and mint. It was great!! I will be back soon. I took a picture after eating half.

    Smoked Salmon Dill Toast (DF)salmon

    Came from brunch and everything was phenomenal. We got the avocado colada, omelette platter and the kids meal grilled cheese. You walk in and get handed a menu and can sit anywhere. You order at the cashier at the front and pay there but the really nice part is that you don't have to tip right away. Tipping is only appreciated after when service is great and the service was truly awesome. As for the food, everything was really good. I would highly recommend the omelette- it's super filling and delicious. As for the salmon toast, i think there are some tweaks they could make like better salmon quality and bigger slices of toast to make it feel like a true dish worth $18.99. It did feel like something i would throw together at home before work. But they also have complimentary water with lemon and unsweetened iced tea which was nice. I also liked that they have a tapari plate, which is a compostable plate that was fun to eat from. You can tell this is a business that's been really poured into, highly recommend supporting!

    Bacon Egg and Avo Toast ( DF)

    I went to pick up 2 Bacon and Egg Avocado Toast's and I was served 2 completely brown avocado's. If the avocados were bad, let me order something else instead of giving me bad avocado's. My dog loved the bacon though!

    Signature Chicken Avocado Salad
    Liz H.

    It's lacking some flavor, my avocado rice bowl did not look like the menu picture and had old guacamole. The other plates were okay. I had higher expectations. Service is fine, you order at the front. Not many people at the restaurant.

    There are free stickers of cute avocado characters by the door. Place your order and you will be given a number to place on your table. They will bring the food out to you. The Flavored water is complimentary and very refreshing; cucumber water and the other is pineapple and strawberry water. Me and my friend shared the sampler and the avocado vegan chorizo wrap. The sampler had 2 of everything. Avocado fries were crispy outside and were very soft inside. Avocado deviled eggs we chose to have bacon on it, which we got lots of it and were gone in two bites. Avocado eggrolls were filled with avocado and so good. The avocado samosa were good but couldn't taste the avocado. The potatoe and peas made it very filling though. The sampler came with aioli and sweet and sour sauce. I liked the aioli sauce more, but most I had without the sauce. Next we shared the avocado vegan chorizo wrap. It was just like the photo on their website, very big and stuffed. It was sweeter and it came with a few greens in the side. So I had to tame the sweetness with the greens. There are to go containers by the flavored water/drinks area. There is no garbage can around since they will clean the table for you. Very clean inside and staff are very friendly. There is also a small merch section near the bathrooms. Please note, (for those that watch their calorie intake) on the website and menu next to the prices are the calories from fat and not the Total calories. The total calories can be found on their website a link that has the breakdown of all the ingredients for all the items on their menu.

    First time trying this establishment. I love avocados so you can't go wrong. It's counter service but has ample seating, nice atmosphere to dine in but I took it to go. I tried the chicken avocado panini on sourdough bread. It came with chips. The sandwich tasted very fresh, lacking a little something so I added some giardinara when I got home. Much better but at $18, a bit pricey. Maybe with the recent increase in avocado prices but don't think I'll be back soon for that price.

You can actually talk, relax, and enjoy your time together, which is exactly what we were looking for. We ordered a mix of things and everything was so good.

The chicken dish with mashed potatoes and greens was also amazing and really well done. We also got dessert and it was the perfect sweet ending to the night. The service was great the entire time. Our server was especially attentive and funny, which made the experience even better and added such a fun, personal touch to the night. Overall this is such a great spot and definitely one we will keep coming back to.

My wife and I were passing near (about an hour away) on Saturday 9-12 and we decided to go out of our way and go. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. I made reservations, but we arrived 15 minutes early and were immediately seated, and were fortunate to sit near the kitchen and could watch and hear everything, how thrilling!!!! Michelle was our server and she is definitely top-notch! She helped us decide on some dishes, wine and even gave us the history of some of the designs that Gordon did when building the restaurant. The decorations and entire restaurant are so appealing The sweet corn soup was amazing. My wife had the shrimp cocktail and the flavors were perfect. The Parker House rolls were the best rolls ever! The entrées were both perfect. We went with Gordon's signature dishes (how could we not). The Beef Wellington melted in my mouth, perfectly prepared and cooked. My wife had the fish and chips and they were a WOW, the cook and flavors were spot on. We split the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. It was almost better than the entrees. Every bite was a taste of heaven. It was life changing Brent the manager checked in on us, he was friendly and engaging, we talked for quite a while. He found out that I was a huge fan and stopped by while I was going to pick a book to buy. He and the head chef (I'm so sorry I forgot his name) decided to give me a book signed be all the chefs there (along with the book I selected) and a piece of their birthday cake. I was absolutely speechless. The entire experience was amazing and I'll remember it for ever. Brent please thank you staff for us. We appreciate everything you did for us. Gordon, great job!!

So I thought we were all set. Our reservation was for 6:00, and we arrived at 5:54. We were told to wait until six, which was perfectly fine. Six o'clock rolls around and we're told they're still cleaning the table. Okay, we wait. Then we wait. And wait. Thirty minutes later, we find out the people who had the table STILL hadn't even left. Baby...what exactly were we reserving three weeks ago, a future dream? They offered us a complimentary appetizer, which I appreciate in theory, but when you've got a party of eight waiting 40 minutes past their reservation time, I'm not really looking for the cheapest appetizer on the menu. I'm looking for the table I reserved. Eventually, we were seated, and thank GOD for our server Alexis B, because they completely turned the experience around. Funny, knowledgeable, incredibly kind, and genuinely one of the best servers I've ever had. If I could give them five stars separately, I would. They made us feel welcome and somehow kept the whole table laughing after that rocky start. The food had some hits and misses. The crab cake was a little too spicy for my taste, although the rest of the table enjoyed it. The mini sliders, however? DELICIOUS. That buttery, well seasoned bun was doing exactly what it needed to do. Then came my Entourage burger, and baby...THAT burger understood the assignment. It was absolutely packed with flavor. So good that I practically inhaled it. My server even asked if I wanted another one because apparently I ate it fast enough to qualify for a second round. Unfortunately, the management situation left a lot to be desired. After the issues getting our table, the managers seemed to keep watching our group throughout the night. If you're going to stare, baby, at least commit to the performance! It made an already awkward situation feel even more uncomfortable. Honestly, my server Alexis B, was the ONLY reason this experience ended on a positive note. They were so charming and personable that by the end, they felt more like a friend than a server. I'm genuinely going to miss them. The food was good, and that burger was fantastic, but a three-week reservation should not turn into a 40 minute wait with a party of eight standing around wondering when they're going to eat. So unfortunately, I'm leaving with two stars. The food gave me reasons to come back, but the reservation experience and management gave me reasons to stay home. And to my server: you were the star of the night. Protect this person at all costs.
