Getting ready to take the train into DT Chicago
Vincent L.

Let's start with the service , which was great .Terry is a great server with a positive attitude and welcoming spirit. The food was very good and the coffee was decent . The restaurant is clean and well maintained. We had a minor problem and the manager handled it like a pro .

I tried the barbecoa breakfast tacos and they were outstanding!!! This isn't something I'd usually order- but I'm so happy I did!
Katherine M.

Clean, fresh, delicious breakfast place that I will be returning to! Service, food, and experience were on point!! I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Smoked Salmon Benedict with mix greens
Maggie M.

Came on a Sunday before noon and the wait time was 20-30mins. So we decided to sit at the bar, we were lucky there were 3 spots available for us inside. They have seating at the bar inside and outside on the patio. We shared the Blackberry sangria, which was light and refreshing. Wasn't strong in alcohol so it was great to have for breakfast. There was enough for all of us to have about 2 glasses. Had the Smoked Salmon Benedict with mixed greens. The eggs were poached perfectly and the yolk oozed out when cut in half. Had a good amount of salmon for each bite. The mixed greens were fresh and the lemon dressing was very light. Think it would be better with just a little bit more dressing. Then we take the check and pay up front at the cashier. They can split the payment at the register or choose by seat.

French toast grits
Sha M.

Nice place. Good food. Got a side of grits & plain french toast. Good quality price & portion. They got 100% maple syrup, it almost tastes as good as vermonts maple syrup lol. Hard workers. Nice people. Fresh.

Power wrap
Teri M.

7:30 am on a Tuesday. Only a few tables seated. Had a coupon for a free birthday entree. Excellent service by Melanie. Had the Rustica Fritatta made with egg whites. Cremini mushrooms, sweet onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and kale. Served with organic greens, lightly dressed, and toast. Hubby had the traditional breakfast: eggs, potatoes, chicken sausage, and toast. Delicious coffee--urn left on the table. $42 before discount or tip.

First Watch is always a solid win. The food is consistently great - super fresh, flavorful, and served in portions that actually feel worth it. Everything comes out bright and well-made, whether it's a brunch classic or something a little more on the healthier side. The vibe is relaxed, service is reliable, and it's the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. I'll definitely be back!

Grits
Pamela O.

Excellent breakfast plate. I got the traditional with fluffy eggs, chicken apple sausage, whole wheat toast which came with home fried potatoes. I also ordered the grits. It was filling the service via UberEats was sufficient and timely. Customer service was great. ​

Breakfast hash bowl
Jill B.

Had brunch here with my daughter today and we both loved our hash bowls. Fresh ingredients and flavorful combinations. Nice atmosphere, comfortable seating & the service was good. Great menu. We definitely will be back.

Wu Z.

We had a yummy breakfast here today. The food was very yummy, definitely recommend the bacado omelet and BLTE sandwich. The vibe is really nice, perfect for a relaxed morning. Service was okay, not super fast but still friendly. We ordered the kale tonic and purple haze. Both was super refreshing and felt so healthy LOL. Overall, it's a great spot to start the day!

Eggs
Summer S.

I went here with my dad for a bruch and let me tell you, it was amazing. We orderd this Kale drink and its not some gross drink you would get at some low quality restaurant. It was honestly the best drink I ever had thatvwas healthy. For my food I ordered pancakes and eggs. Now I could not even finish half the pancake it was so big, and the eggs. Dont even get me started. I can not leave this place without getting eggs. 100% 5 stars!

Big breakfast
Jon B.

Soft opening First watch was paying for your meal! What a generous treat. The service was in point and the food and Kale Tonic was a hit! I will definitely be back.

The food exactly as it came. Unopened, I haven't started to eat it. 16 dollars.

What is this portion??? And they didn't include the bread... thanks for the jam? I also got a morning meditation drink which was really good! Sad that this is the to go portion since I do love dining in.

My favorite is the Korean Ribeye--it's well seasoned with a slightly sweet soy flavor and has a ton of flavor. It normally comes with Parmesan fries, but I like to substitute mixed vegetables and white rice. Also don't forget to add the grilled shrimp. The Filet Mignon is another great choice and has been consistently good. They also offer half-price appetizers during happy hour, which makes it a great place to stop in for drinks and share a few appetizers. Overall, a solid dining option with a good atmosphere, plenty of menu choices, and consistently good food. Definitely a place I enjoy coming back to.

Other restaurants need to do this as we were blinded at a bar nearby days before. I digress. CJ was our awesome bartender, super attentive and friendly and made the best lavender drop. We tried an array of appeti,ers and all were good: chicken tenders, sloders and pepperoni pizza. The happy hour deals are great, nice to see a burbs location push happy hour past 5pm because um...we all have jobs.

Stopped by The Cheesecake Factory and decided to sit at the bar while catching the White Sox game…read more It was a nice, laid-back atmosphere to enjoy some food, drinks, and baseball. We ordered the egg rolls, Buffalo Blasts, and buffalo wings, and honestly, all the food was good! Everything was enjoyable, and we had no complaints about what we ordered. The bartender was okay. He seemed a little overwhelmed and busy, but he wasn't rude or unfriendly. He even took the time to recommend a few drinks for us to try, which I appreciated. Overall, it was a good experience! Nothing over-the-top amazing, but definitely not a bad visit. The food was good, the drinks were enjoyable, and we got to relax and watch the game. I'd come back again, especially for a casual bite at the bar.

We ate here on 10/21/26 for my son's birthday. He had never been to a Cheesecake Factory before…read moreand wanted to try it. We couldn't have been any more impressed. We started with the Egg Roll Sampler, Calamari, and Fried Mac & Cheese Balls. Any one of those could have gone horribly wrong, but no! The egg rolls were all very flavorful, the calamari was perfectly cooked and tender - not rubbery at all, and the mac & cheese balls were wonderfully creamy inside. For our entrees, we had the Seared Tuna Tataki Salad, a Caesar Salad, and the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka. Now, admittedly we didn't eat very much of any of them because DID YOU SEE ALL THOSE APPETIZERS and we didn't want to pass up the cheesecake, but they were all so yummy that we had them packed up to take with us. Cheesecake definitely did NOT disappoint! Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple, Hershey's Chocolate Bar, and Tiramisu. All were fantastic, and we had the leftovers wrapped to take home too. Seriously, there aren't many chain restaurants that hit it out of the park, but this one was aces. The manager, Aurora, also stopped by our table to check on us more than once, which was just an added bonus. Will definitely be going back!

Out here in deepest Suburbia, sometimes things present a vaguely Disneyesque artifice, where, if…read morethe fantasy world was more advanced, "Quotation Marks" would appear magically in the air around buildings (and, alas, people) indicating irony should be applied as a mitigating factor. This is not to imply in any way those places (or people) are therefore any less in quality or to be avoided. But I digress... I've driven past the "Paris Bistro" here, since it was established, and, unfairly thought "yeah, right". Why? Route 59 is a 1000% American Commerce Zone, rife with every franchise on the docket, and conformity is securely on the menu. And rightly so. Folks out here may have had their success, but they were raised in front of American TV, and their consumer habits developed accordingly, especially with regard to cuisine and eating habits. There are, of course, bona fide Ethnics in the general area, but those are germane to the Communities in residence. (Some FAB Chinese, Indian and Mexican places-q.v.) I am not aware of a burgeoning French settlement anywhere nearby. Around here "Cooper's Hawk" passes for "fine dining", and if you've ever fine-dined, you'll know Cooper's Hawk may parlay a decent feed, but it ain't Alinea, Bubba. In the far Western and Southwestern Chicago 'burbs, folks' Culinary tastes are as conservative as their politics. So whither "Paris Bistro"? It's a handsome suburban building with inviting signage. When you walk in, you pass a bar having an impressive array of boozes. Keep going west past the bar and you're in a room mimicking a rural setting, if a rural setting had curved leather banquettes. There's a more traditional dining room on the other side of the bar, but I didn't go in there. It was daytime, and bright, but when daylight ebbs, I'll bet both rooms are romantic. The service is reserved and accommodating-you're not going to find a wisecracking "Alice" on the staff. The menu actually is pretty accurate as a French Bistro in the USA. Lots of Français on it (in the titles), but the descriptions are all clear English. You don't have translation to fear.The menu is extensive, and features many traditional "Bistro" faves, along with select "American" choices. I was in for Brunch. Disregarding conformity, I ordered the Escargot for Hors D'oeuvre, not that I wanted to, but because I am pathologically incapable of NOT ordering Escargot if they are on the menu before me. They were yum, but I wish there was a softer bread available for sopping the buttery-garlic goodness remaining after the morsels are consumed. As "they" say, a French Chef is judged by their prowess in cooking a simple Omelette, so that's where I went. "Jambon et Gruyere" to be exact. It wasn't a large beast, but it was tasty, light, and properly prepared. No sign of the Rugby-Ball pancake-batter-enhanced behemoth omelettes you'll find in common Coffee shops. Accompanying was a (very) small salad of nice composition, with just enough fruity vinaigrette to satisfy. Also on the plate were tasty and ultra-crispy "shoestring fries". I'm not a slave to potatoes with breakfast. but these were damned good. The problem at hand (so to speak) was the transport from plate to mouth, as they were very thin and very crisp. Both fork and spoon were inefficient. I thought of using the spoon to crush them, thus rendering spoon a contender to preserve my dining decorum. In the end, I bit the bullet and just picked them up in hand, decorum be damned. I wish I had a bucket of these for movie-watching snacks at home. The coffee was a conundrum. It arrived with a strongish smell, like it was burnt and past its prime, but lacked the acrid flavor such as found in a forlorn brew. It was actually a fine, bold, cup of VERY dark roast. It's a nice, sophisticated (but not snooty) resto, dignified but not stuffy. If you need to have a business breakfast/brunch, this is a perfect place. Also, if you're not in the mood for the hustle and bustle of a noisy coffee shoppe. Prices a bit higher than you might expect, but... I quite enjoyed both the bread and circuses here, and while I never mistook myself from being anywhere else than in Naperville (not Paris), I caught the vibe, and it was nice. I am officially pissed at myself for not stopping here sooner. No "quotation marks" for this place. Throwing 4 stars (for now), and I'll be back here very soon for dinner.

I recently went to Paris Bistro for a Galentine's Day tea with my Pilates friends. We were a group…read moreof five. We were shown to a table in the room to the right of the host stand. That room is usually where they sit families. It was not our choice and we voiced our opinion to sit in the dining room. The staff immediately switched everything to the warm and inviting dining room. The food provided was tasty from the mini sandwiches to the tartines to the sweet treats. I have to say there was an inconsistency with sizing. Some were generous and some were lacking. They could've done a better job with consistency so we all got the same sizes. The tea service was very cute but you were only able to choose a couple teas. I've been to other teas at Suzette's and Pinecone Cottage where the tea is unlimited, as well as they ask if you would like another tasting of something that you really liked. I felt for the money this tea service was limited as well as not consistent. It was a great way to spend time with my Pilates friends, though. I could see myself doing this again if there were improvements made and they were more generous by offering an additional taste.
