What really sold me is the outstanding customer service only second to the verity of products the shop stocks. What great experience! The new owners, Michelle and her husband, since January 1st, 2026 will gain your respect and you will continue to patronize this shop. The store is jammed packed with infused olive oils and accompanied items. It does make it a bit difficult to navigate in a wheelchair and browse even tho they have a wheelchair ramp inviting the mobility challenge into an array of wonderful smells. Don't let this deter you. Michelle made note and said she will work on modifications to floor plan for inclusion of this demographic. This is why you shop a small business over a big box store.

This is our second visit to this cute and quaint little tea house in Downers Grove. My daughter,…read moreher friend and her friend's mom and I do an annual tea day. We were a party of four, one who is gluten-free and one who is vegetarian. They had no problem accommodating our dietary restrictions and the food was absolutely delicious. We all had different teas, and again they were all very flavorful. The Christmas decor was just so perfect. They have several items for sale, such as jams and so forth. They also had a few Christmas tea pots for sale. One was so cute I could not resist and bought my daughter an extra Christmas gift. The owner/chef came out to talk to us for just a few minutes. She explained that this was their 24th year! Amazing. She also stated that she travels and often the recipes she makes for the tea house are inspired by these trips. I believe the menu is changed every month. Our server, Gilbert was great. Very helpful and also described each delicious food item on our plate. Be sure to get reservations if you plan to visit. Absolutely love this place! Can't say enough great things about it.

I just worked out and called to ask about the dress code. No dress code, I'll be right there! I walked in and was greeted immediately and sat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and gave me time to decide without feeling rushed even as I changed my mind a couple times. I ordered the salmon and Mad Rose to drink. The drink has a lot going on and wasn't for me. It reminded me of a cinnamon orange tea, citrus and spicy. For dinner, I waffled on a couple fish dishes, but went with the salmon. It has a nice, crunchy glaze on it with some nice citrus flavors that weren't overbearing. I wasn't sure how the risotto would taste with the orange, but it worked. I was asked several times how I was doing and how my drinks and food were. Dining solo, I get ignored at times with subpar service. Not tonight access I appreciate that. I would recommend based on service and the dish I had. I will return to try more.

After a long final day of a conference in the Chicago suburbs, I really did not feel like dealing…read morewith traffic or going out to dine solo, so tonight called for delivery. I ordered from Entourage Downers Grove and was honestly impressed with how well everything held up for delivery. The standout for me was the lobster bisque. It arrived at the perfect temperature, which is pretty impressive for delivery. The bisque was rich and luscious without feeling overly heavy, and the basil oil added a nice brightness that balanced the creaminess beautifully. It also had a generous amount of lobster, including several large chunks, and was a very solid portion overall. The filet mignon sliders were another highlight. Each slider had a substantial piece of filet mignon topped with pickled onions, microgreens, and horseradish cream on brioche buns. The onions and horseradish added enough acidity and bite to balance the richness of the beef without overpowering it. I also tried the Vietnamese summer rolls, filled with roasted shiitake mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and rice noodles, served with both peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce. Everything tasted very fresh, and the sauces complemented the generously stuffed rolls nicely. My only small critique is that cutting them in half made for a prettier presentation, but made them a little awkward to dip and eat. Overall, this was a surprisingly strong delivery experience, and I would absolutely order from them again, or better yet, make it over to the restaurant itself next time I'm in the area.

Walking into Marche feels like stumbling into a charming little French market you almost don't want…read moreto tell people about because selfishly... you want it to stay your secret. I had the pimento dip, the 3 cheese breadsticks, and the baguette with fig spread and honestly considered canceling the rest of my day and just living there. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtful, and ridiculously good. The bread was perfect, the cheeses were rich and flavorful, and the fig spread with the baguette deserved its own fan club. The drinks absolutely held their own too. The Summer Spritz was crisp and refreshing, while the sangria came in with a polite smile and then quietly reminded me to respect it because wow, it was strong and delicious. Beyond the food and drinks, the whole place has this warm, beautiful French market vibe that feels cozy, elevated, and welcoming all at once. Great atmosphere, amazing flavors, and the kind of spot that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend.

They have so many different cheese options and new ones every time we come here. Don't be afraid to ask for samples if you're unsure! They'll gladly cut you a tiny piece to try. We love to buy the cheese to take and create our own charcuterie board at home, but we've also gotten theirs at the store to eat. You can pick 4 cheeses or meat for $20. They also sell everything else you might need to create a charcuterie board, like wine, jams, chocolate, bread, and crackers. I still need to try one of their sandwiches.
