Such a cute little spot!!!…read more I was out driving and have really been craving bacon, eggs and potatoes and this place did not disappoint. After walking in I was quickly sat by a very friendly man and quickly after my even friendlier waitress came over and took my order. I ordered the hungry man's breakfast and was so happy when they told me they had gluten free toast as I've recently discovered I'm very sensitive to gluten. Not more than 10 min later my breakfast was out. I have absolutely 0 complaints about this breakfast. All of the meat was well cooked and tasted fantastic. I asked for extra crispy potatoes and they obliged. This was a 5/5 stop for and I'll be back for sure!!

We went here for a friend's birthday and it was a great spot! The menu is extensive (almost too…read moremany options!!!) and there really is something for everyone. The space is clean, enticing, and as the name implies, modern. The service was very friendly, and the manager stopped by to check in twice. We ordered a few different starters and everyone got their own entrees. My favorite appetizer was the pork belly, and I really enjoyed my bucatini sausage pasta. The group agreed that the drinks were not great. The cocktails tasted off and the sodas had no carbonation. Would definitely come back!

They have fried chicken strips and smash burgers. Spacious seating area and very clean inside. Lady who took our food order was very pleasant. I had to spend $30 so I got the 3 piece chicken finger platter which came with crinkle cut fries, coleslaw , Texas toast, and a soft drink. I also got the 3 piece mozzarella bricks, and the corn ribs. That was a lot of food. I will say all the food has a unique taste to it. It is Halal, which I never had before this visit. I liked it, but it took a few bites to acclimate myself to these new tastes. The chicken pieces were pretty big. I really don't think I could have eaten a 6 piece in one sitting. The mozzarella bricks were huge too. I ate two. Thankfully, my wife had one too. They came with lots of fries, which had more pepper than salt on them. Again, good, but different. The coleslaw was small but that's okay. The corn ribs were really good, and I got like 12 of them. Spicy, but not hot spicy. Overall, I liked the place. Another person came in while we were there. I didn't stalk her to see what she was eating. Would I go back? Yes. Well, I sort of have to, because I bought two of those Clipp certificates where you spend $15, but get $30 food. That's a great deal, but I'm sure they are trying to grow the business, and honestly, I would never have thought of this place if I didn't see it on Clipp. If this place doesn't survive, it will be because of its location rather than the quality or quantity of food served.

We visited when it wasn't too busy and were seated at the bar. I ordered the cider mojito, and you…read morecould definitely taste all the ingredients listed on the menu! For an appetizer, we got the honeycomb with ricotta and honey. It wasn't bad at all--the bread was nice, and the ricotta was good, but everything combined was a little lacking in flavor. For entrees, we got Ella's Smash Burger with fries, the Rocket Man pizza, and the chicken farro salad. The smash burger was delicious! It's definitely not your typical smash burger since it was thicker, but all the ingredients worked so well together. The Rocket Man pizza was also amazing. Honestly, I could eat it by itself without adding anything else and be completely satisfied. The chicken farro salad was delicious as well and very filling. Our bartender and server, Kalina, was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about both the food and drinks and took care of us throughout the entire evening. We really appreciated her recommendations and great service. The restaurant was clean, and it wasn't too loud, so we could actually have a conversation with the people sitting next to us without having to shout. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu!

A great spot in Elmhurst to get a guaranteed good meal every time!…read more I love their appetizers including the ricotta and honey (my favorite), the zucchini fries, and the homemade chips/onion dip. The pizza is both super doughy and cheesy, but also crispy on the edges. A bit different from a typical deep dish or thin crust though, as a heads up. And the vodka pasta is a super garlicky/spicy/creamy solid dish you have to try (I get it every time without fail). I've also never had a bad experience with servers at Ella's! They're incredibly nice and even let us bring in a cake/brought us plates for my dad's birthday. And finally, the ambience is as expected. It's an Italian pub, so think elevated bar space with some nice paintings and outside seating where you could go either dressed up or casual.

Situation on a busy corner in the downtown Lombard, this restaurant is pretty tiny but certainly hold its own. I ordered the brie and apple sandwich. The bread was fresh and the flavor combo was absolutely delicious. Even the side salad deserves recognition. It was simple but surprisingly flavorful with crispy lettuce. The fries were also excellent, and I was especially happy to see they serve aioli with them. Yum! The restaurant is housed in a charming historic building with a small interior and an expansive outdoor patio that's dog-friendly. Parking can be a little tricky when downtown is busy. Given the limited seated, I imagine wait times would be longer when the weather isn't kind or during colder months. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of food. I look forward to returning or grabbing takeout. Definitely a great, if not the best, little spot in downtown Lombard.

I had a classic Cheeseburger with fries.. the meat was extremely dry not juicy at all the fries were so over salted I literally had to brush it off.

Greek Salad was sizable. What makes this place really stand out is the excellent service. Our server June C is the quintessential hardworking restaurant professional who is efficient and engages her customers with just the right amount of friendly, personable banter. Restaurant was bustling on a Monday for lunch, which says a lot. Many of the lunch crowd seemed to be regulars. Food came out fast, but we didn't feel rushed. We'll be back.

I couldn't read the vibe well enough to tell if it's the kind of place you could hang out for a few hours working on a coffee if you had, hypothetically, a ton of time to kill in Elmhurst. But at a minimum it's a nice place for an unpretentious civilized breakfast.

We're anything but regulars to this place, yet she remembers each of us, like we're her precocious kids. "Let's see Coffee for you four and black tea for you two weirdos, Irish Benedict for you, 2x2x2x2..." Is she guessing, I dont know, but she make me feel like she knows me and cared about. This gem is the polar opposite of a creative, avant guard, posh restaurant, which we also love to go to. Instead, this place is a down-to earth 'warm sweater' sort of a restaurant. There's no caviar or truffles here. Instead, if you like a classic breakfasts, like you ate when you were a child, put on your way-back shoes; and try this place. They make their own corned beef hash and serve it in a myriad of variations. I prefer the 2+2+2+2. Two tender golden pancakes, two eggs basted, two strips of bacon and two sausages. I dont like the sausages but offer them to the others and woof they're gone. Is this a fancy place with 'ambiance', ummm... no. Are my eggs basted, by ladling hot bacon grease over them, like how my mother made them; no - that would be too much to ask. My Mom used to make corned beef and cabbage for dinner the night before, then make corned beef hash the next morning. Again, too much to ask, but this is as close to those paradigms as I'll ever dream of getting. Thank you Mimi!

This place is really tiny, tables only, no booths. The food was not anything special and we would not return. They are really a 3-star place but I bumped it up a star for Mimi's kind service. The menu really does not offer foods for those of different dietary wants/needs.

I had a girls' weekend away. I found Angels by other Yelp reviews. What a great breakfast/brunch…read morespot. The menu has everything you can imagine for breakfast- omelets, eggs Benedict (the original and variations of it), varieties of pancakes & French toast, skillets, and lunch offerings (wraps, sandwiches, burgers, salads). We went twice. My first time, I got a skillet with eggs over easy over skirt steak, potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes, and it came with your choice of pancakes or French toast. I got pancakes. I couldn't get over how tender and flavorful the steak was because it was cut up in bite-sized pieces. I was given a choice of salsa, and I chose the green one (Yum!), The pancakes were sooo good and fluffy; I didn't need syrup. I also got hot tea. It comes in a cute clear teapot so you can see if the tea has steeped long enough for a couple of cups. They also have little bottles of honey. The second time we went, I got a senior omelet, which included four add-ins (I got onions, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and avocado). It was the size of a small football. I had my choice of hash browns or fresh fruit and pancakes or French toast. I got hash browns cooked perfectly and French toast this time. I so wish this restaurant was closer to home because both times it was sooo good and because there were so many things I wanted to try! The service is wonderful. You are greeted right away when you walk in, and when you are seated, they bring you ice water. Service is quick no matter how busy they are, and they check on you frequently. It is very comfortable seating; chairs and booths are all padded. The restaurant and bathrooms are very clean. Make sure you visit one of their restaurants while you are in the suburbs of Chicago. You won't be disappointed!
