Sooo, let's talk about the most luxury restaurant I have ever been. This Pavilion Restaurant & Lounge made me feel so good last Saturday. We had a surprise party for our good friend so we booked a large table for 15 people in advance. The interior looks even more impressive than exterior. I loved it! It was my first time there. One more interesting thing - most of the guests there were just Russians/Ukrainians. And that makes you feel like at home. The food was sooo delicious. The banquet was ordered in ahead so we got bunch of a yummy stuff: smoked salmon, shrimp & avocado salad, fried potato & mushrooms, boiled potatoes & meat, nice sandwiches, "blinchiki" with caviar, vegetables, fruits, sweets and etc etc etc..Oh my God, it was amazing!!! We are so thankful to our friend for an invitation. Furthermore, there was a live Russian/Ukrainian music!!! I remember this eve forever. Highly recommend! read more

Visited the restaurant on a non-event day because my mother received a gift certificate. Only one certificate can be used at a time, btw. I tried borsh and chicken dumplings. I had high expectations based on how their website looks like and the pictures here on yelp. In reality the restaurant mels were basic but delicious. read more

petergoff's team just helped me throw a 100 people graduation party for my daughter this past weekend. party was fantastic! The team came to my house a few hours before the event and set up serving area, highball tables, bar, and buffet. Everything they brought was high-end - furniture, table linens, bar counter etc. food was beyond delicious. first of all, it is a very impressive looking buffet. petergoff has a concept of adding a modern twist to simple party food. For example, hotdogs and burgers were served miniature style ( Great quality of meat for both burgers and Reuben sandwiches). Candied bacon was served in a tall cup like a bouquet. crowd pleasers fried calamari was served in individual bamboo cups. and tomato mozzarella salad were presented on skewers, arranged very nicely in the half of watermelon . not only Petergoffs team served drinks to 100 people all night, they also helped maintaining the buffet, restock the bar , wash dishes, and swiped floors after the party! I enjoyed every single second of my party because everything was taken care of. Petergoff is the only way to throw a party ! huge thanks! read more

Food was delicious, service was great, and food was fresh. Khatchipuri was delicious.

We had our wedding here and we loved it, this place was super. Tanya and her whole staff were extremely professional and diligent. We compared quite few venues before deciding on this place and here are the top reasons why we chose this place. 1.The sound system and stage lighting is in house and for an additional fee you can connect to it. It is worth it every single penny, because all the other venues asked us to bring our own speaker, mic and stage lightings. And if you're planning a wedding, and unless you're a music professional, this is something you'd like to avoid dealing/searching for. The quality of Petergof's sound system seems to be one of the best. 2. The food and service. I've been to many traditional style weddings venues. Usually food is not enough, not tasty and rushed. Service people are inpatient and not too friendly. We really wanted to avoid it, and Petergof staff did not disappoint. Food was great, all of my guests were extremely happy and kept telling us how good the food were. They had vast variety of food that you can choose and customize to your package. 3. Tanya was great. I like working directly with business owners. They all want whats best for the business, so it makes things easier and also trustworthy. Tanya was extremely thorough and explained us everything from A to Z. All brides wants different things, and some doesnt even know what they want. I did not know napkins and linens costs $$ and it comes in 360+ colors. She will tell you everything you need to know. Overall, this place is great if you're looking for a beautiful and intimate space with delicious food and great service plus an awesome sound system. I would highly recommend it to all newly engaged couples. read more

The worst New Year celebration ever! Starting from food and all the way to their so called "entertainment". Total rip off! For the money they charge they did nothing they promised to people . Let's take a moment and talk about their fake black caviar, they literally dyed using black color and put it to serve. Food was absolutely horrible, we left starving cause everything they served had no taste or was cooked a week before they served it. Entertainment was just trash, there is so much I would wanna say about it but I will only use word trash cause it describes it the best. I would not recommend spending 275$ for this, absolute disappointment . Thanks to our servers only, great nice hard working people who spend their New Years working. read more

Used a living social deal for brunch, glad I did because this place can be a little pricey. It was a good deal and Amy took good care of us and was helpful in redeeming the deal as well. The presentation was to be expected, very impressive, and the food was very good as well. They were not stingy with the Mimosas which was refreshing and the crowd and atmosphere were pleasing. Not too big, not too small, but just right. If I had to say anything negative, it would be 1) I was seated at a table next to the buffet towards the end, so there was a lot of traffic directly past my seat for diners as well as buffet replenishers. 2) The ice cream put out at the dessert bar were in huge ice cream 5 gallon buckets and they were put out and left out so it did not take long for the ice cream to get soupy 3) We were seated under the air vents and it was decidedly cool Other than that, it was a very positive experience, we will be back. read more

This review is for their school catering service. Requested an ingredients list for food allergy concerns, and it was not very thorough and contained a possible fatal mistake. I, as well as the school, contacted them with follow up questions multiple times, and we've never heard back. Now we resort to bringing our own food because we can't trust this caterer with food allergies. Wish they were more like other caterers that provide thorough ingredients lists. read more

We just had celebration for my wife birthday.I think this Russian restaurant is the best around. The food is awesome!!!Perfect service!!! Thank you so much guys. read more

This place is truly amazing. The food is spectacular, the music is awesome and the service is superb. I've attended many birthday's and weddings at Petergof. I decided to finally book my birthday here (after attending so many events for years). The manager, Tanya, made it very easy. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my reservation because I was going to be out of town that weekend. She was very understanding and accommodated me. She was very sincere and genuine. I've planned a few parties with her (not my own) and it was a smooth sailing processes. Everything was so easy! If you are looking to host an event- this is the place to be ! Thank you Petergof! read more

Petergof does not care about its neighbors. They have food delivery trucks come very early in the morning at around 6:15 am as they did today; their kitchen staff is loud. They throw out garbage at 4:30 in the morning; they have loud parties that go on Late night. You call the managers and they do not care. Disgust read more

Attended a wedding reception here and was pleasantly surprised. There is plenty of parking outside, which is always a plus. The man lobby area is huge and nicely decorated. The dinning area is a bit on the smaller side, with a small dance floor. Live music was great though. Food selection was vast and everything tasted pretty good. The staff walked around to make sure everyone had everything they need. The bathrooms are on the small side, be ready to wait. read more

My family and I came here for New Year's Eve. Overall, a bad experience. (1) Music was deafeningly loud. We could barely hear one another while sitting in adjacent chairs. (2) They seemed to serve certain tables preferentially (perhaps friends of the owners), so our table consistently got the last plates of food. In some cases, we were told the food had run out by the time they reached our table but that we could request that same food for "an additional charge" (not kidding) (3) the photographer and videographer stood between our table and the stage for most of the night, so my parents (who actually wanted to see the show) could see nothing. (4) The food was average to below average for a Russian restaurant. Overall, would only recommend coming here for New Year's Eve if you value hype over substance. read more

We had our wedding here, guest were happy so we were happy with the Petergof. Tanya was extremely helpful and detailed with all that goes into setting up the event. She will give you her honest opinion from her experience on vendors, menu selection etc. but does not push you to take her suggestion. She knows which vendors will do what you want, LISTEN. I did not with a vendor and ran into a sticky situation before the wedding. Food was delicious, well presented and prepared. The entire staff was very nice, hard working, and courteous. The entire facility is updated and clean; Which is what I found to be much nicer than some other European banquet halls we visited. Brides and private parties! I would feel 100% comfortable recommending the Petergof to you. read more

I stopped in for lunch at this place because my friend told me they had great food. From the outside it did not look like a lunch place, but don't judge a book by its cover. The service was great and the food was even better. I recommend the chicken shish kebab read more

I had a birthday party at Petergof and I tell you This is the best Russian restaurant in Chicagoland ! Great customer service , waiters were friendly and respectful , the food was great and the manage Nikolai r was very respectful and helpful ! I highly recommend this place ! read more

The absolute worst service. The owner refused to take the Local Flavor coupon I had even though it was in good standing, our party ordered lots of food, and they were still going to make plenty of money on us. The owner even refused to take off the $15 paid for the coupon. She began SCREAMING at us and told us to leave. None of us were ever treated so poorly in a restaurant!!! read more

I celebrated 2020 New Year at this "banquet hall". Do not recommend it at all. It is not worth the money they charged per person and celebration they promised while taking money didn't even match what was introduced to us during evening. I am a college student who works hard for my money, since I don't have family here in United States I really wanted to celebrate New Years and enjoy it. Well that didn't happen . Will never go there again even for free!The food was disgusting. "Black" caviar wasn't real. Entertainment was so boring and uninteresting. People do not spend your money on this place . read more

It was the best new year. Excellent service, good music and an entertaining program, I would like to mention the waiters who did an excellent job. And of course great and tasty food. All this left a great impression of this place and I would return here again. read more

Was here over the weekend for a graduation party! Food was delicious, music was amazing! Love that there is a dance floor, brunch time became like a Friday/Saturday night party! The ambience is great! Love this place! Highly recommended! The options for the party packages are very reasonable and the quality of the food is definitely worth the price! Birthdays! Weddings! Celebrations! It's the perfect place for all! read more

Grate plase, good food, good plase to see old friends end get new friends, music grate, will coming again

We worked with Amy. She was great. Baptism for our son looked like the wedding party. Great live music, attentive service, tons of food. We hired also a clown and face painter and also center pieces made of balloons recommended by Amy. read more

Good place my birthday party unbelievable my friends so happy he tell me this place my friend name Baki 2017

One of the best New Year's party in my life. Everything was gorgeous, food was delicious, decorations were fabulous, music was amazing. Worth every penny! read more

if you're looking for a European club experience in the suburbs there is no other place to find beautiful girls and well dressed Eastern European than Petergof. The music is good and the bottle service is relatively less expensive than downtown. when I was a single guy I would go here to find girls no doubt read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant, I've been here many time and they always surprise me. I love their food and drinks and recommend it for everyone!!!! read more

Our wedding here was amazing. Tanya and her staff really did a great job. They really listened to what we wanted and did their best to implement it. Thank you. read more

went here a year ago for a family member's Bat Mitzvah. The dining hall was typical for the occasion. The food was very good as well! Good times all around! read more

We were there for New Years eve and had the best time. The food was amazing, of the highest quality and beautifully presented. All we had to do was ask and our waitress fullfilled any and all requests that were made. Its like she was there only for our table, which was not the case, since she had other tables. The music was hip and played all night with minimal breaks. Once again Tanya and her crew did an outstanding job. read more

I've attended a wedding here (in the main banquet hall) and hosted a private party in the lobby area. Was very pleased with both events. This is one of the newer places so the decor is more modern and spotless than most banquet halls. The selection of food was expansive. My fiends wedding had all the delicacies you could think of. For my event, I had a smaller budget and there were still a lot of tasty options to chose from. The best part is they have traditional dining decor as well as the modern white couches and cocktail tables for a lounge style party, which is what I went with for my event. I keep mentioning decor because it's a huge money saver when you don't need to order too many outside decorations to have a luxurious party. read more

I'd like to introduce negative number of stars specifically to rate this restaurant. To be fare, the restaurant's concept is the same as other Russian-American banquet halls. I don't argue with reviewers who gave this establishment 5 stars rating- it all depends on who you are and what experience you are looking for. Please keep in mind that it is not a restaurant in a traditional meaning but rather a banquet hall. So, if you like to be in a big company of people you've never met before (multiple parties are set in a same room), want overeat not caring about food taste and quality, get drunk, dance at accompaniment of very loud music, and absolutely don't care about having any conversation during the meal - it is for you. By no means accept the invitation to that event there or organize it yourself for that matter. However, if you like having a decent meal, amiable atmosphere, and converse with your dining companions I suggest that you decline. Now the details: - They serve cold appetizers and hot dishes almost at the same time and place them all around table haphazardly (so one has difficulty to see what is available and where it is) - there is no menu at all. By the time you finished with your smoked salmon and/or salad the supposedly hot chicken dish is already cold and not edible. Way too many dishes overall which is, of course, not a guarantee of quality; - Wait staff changes plates on demand but they never change silverware - not even before serving a dessert; - Instead of putting bottles on the table, the waiter asks you at the very beginning what you are going to drink and then he/she fills your glass with the same throughout the dinner - no concept of pairing whatsoever; - Loud music (when I write loud I mean torture quality loud) starts almost at once while people are still at the beginning of their dinner. And that's all - you cannot hear your neighbor unless he/she shouts directly into your ear. At this time you are supposed to dance so they dim the lights. Now not just you are unable to hear you also are unable to see - complete sensory deprivation. Perhaps, it is the best restaurant among that class but I frankly don't think so. The very least they could do is to serve cold and hot dishes separately and let diners finish their dinner before starting loud dance music and dimming the lights. read more

This is the worst banquet where I have been , they are charging a lots of money for the event , but the food is not worth, for a table of 10 people we did not have enough food and just one bottle of wine, the cheapest wine find on the market, and the show from there it was very bored for old people, I never ever will go there, the quality it is "0" , I don't recommend read more

Very disappointing experience. Had made reservations for a group after a funeral. The owner made fun of my food allergies, was very disrespectful. Overcharged us based on the original quote. Their staff told us a different price, but when we got there, the price went up. The owner told us we will take the food home that wasn't consumed (it was family style), but they didn't give up the dessert (gave as much of the dessert as the number of people that showed up, not how much we paid for, which was for more than showed up). Disgusting way to take advantage of people in mourning. Will never go back. read more

The worst food ever!!!The management is negligent and doesn't care about customer's needs! Tania is very rude,arogant and only care about how much you pay her! This place is not worth it: very unprofessional management, digusting and overpriced food!!! Go spend your money somewhere else!!! read more

The live music improved comparing to what they had before. The food taste degraded-everything use to taste much better there. But it was nothing comparing to the 2 fully equipped cops cruising around the restaurant entire evening with exposed guns amid nicely dressed up primarily Eastern Europeans with lots of small happy kids! It felt rather like a happy prison party than what suppose to be a Russian restaurant fun in the safe northern suburb. read more

We had a wedding there and got horrible experience. The russian lady "manager" is soo rude and, she is gonna charge ton's of money. Be careful with her! read more
