Inside

Looking for fresh seafood? Great selection of cocktails? Nice lightening? You've found it at Topaz Cafe! Came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon and it was a slow day so I knew service was going to be top tier. Our server helped my mentor and I select our beverages. If you cherish or adore your dark liquors, I highly recommend the Peacemaker. It is not as strong as an old fashion but it definitely hits the spot and will leave you feeling good off one cocktail. We ordered the Great Lakes whitefish and the salmon sandwich. Both were pretty large in size which is appropriate given the price. I assumed with my salmon burger being so massive, I would not have fished it, nope. With its lightness and crispy outside, it completely devoured it. It melted in your mouth which I was not expecting! I'd return again - especially for the speciality cocktails!

Rigatoni a La Vodka

Great spot for a date night or a lovely family dinner. The service was outstanding, though it is on the pricier side. Portion sizes are a bit small, but the food was delicious. We visited on a weekend, but the restaurant was quite empty.

Patio

This is a hidden gem!!! I live in the city and have friends in the southern suburbs and Burr Ridge is the best meeting spot and Topaz is phenomenal! We sat on the gorgeous outside patio. We had baked goat cheese, chalk flower, beer salad, peach salad and the beef brisket and it was PHENOMENAL! The service was so great too! Will definitely come back !

Braised Beef Short Ribs
Lydia V.

Service: 10/10. Extremely attentive service. Food: 6/10. Oysters were congealed, lobster bisque was lukewarm and didn't have any chunks of lobster in it, and there was no complimentary bread. In regard to the main dishes, the short rib dish was tender. Unfortunately, the short rib in the pasta was not. It was dry and tough. I enjoyed the pasta, but I didn't feel like there was enough for the price.

I just wanted a quiet evening with the girls, an evening full of laughs, drinks, and Great food! Well, that's what I got Saturday night at Topaz. What a chic restaurant with a laidback vibe and a beautiful floral setting. And let me tell you, every food and beverage item that was brought out was amazing! No complaints! Everything was really good! Midnight in Paris was a really good drink that was also refreshing. The bread had the consistency of cake and was warm and soft to perfection. The brussels had me coming back for more. My clam chowder was so delicious that I wished I ordered a bowl. My main entree, the Great Lakes Whitefish, was very flavorful and light. The peach tart, I Don't Even Eat Tarts, was so good that it was finished in less than 10 minutes. I highly recommend paying a visit to Burr Ridge to experience Topaz. Your taste buds will thank you!

Chicken was weird
Jess R.

Way overpriced for mediocre and flavorless dishes. Not worth the money. Drinks were good, roasted potatoes were excellent. Greek salad had funky tasting chicken and steak was way over cooked yet had no char?! Grilled octopus had no flavor at all except a fishy aftertaste. Someone spent all their time plating intricately like this is a fancy place but they forgot to taste it...The service was excellent and I can't fault our waiter. But honestly it was a huge disappointment. It's also kind of suspicious that for every bad review here is instantly followed up by like 6 five stars reviews.. hard to believe those folks went to the same place as I did.

Delicious Lake Superior Whitefish
Dawn S.

I went to Topaz Cafe for a work event and everything that was presented to us was cooked perfectly. I have no idea why this restaurant has less than 5 stars. We had a 3 coarse meal...serving| Cesar Salad, and Bruschetta. Second coarse | NY Strip, Amish Chicken Brest, Roasted potatoes and brocollini and Lake Superior Whitefish. 3rd coarse featured Little bites of dessert. All was cooked to perfection. This restaurant is a must try. Also all the drinks were amazing. Service was amazing. This is a great place for a work event or a date night.

1/2 kale salad
Lisa S.

The food quality was a 5, ambience was a 4.5 (they had my favorite Christmas music playing!) and the service was a 3 - he was very friendly but had too many tables so the service was slooow. They also forgot it was my husband's birthday and there was no candle on the cake as I had hoped. However, the kale salad was so fresh and full of flavor it was like eating fresh-picked ingredients from a farm. The salmon and sea bass was out of this world! Fresh, seasoned to perfection with the perfect accompaniments to make the main course truly be the main attraction. The carrot cake was delicious and literally tasted homemade. We loved everything except for the somewhat disappointing service but that won't keep us from coming back.

Attentive service, pleasant environment, strong drinks and above average food. The Amish half chicken was flavorful with very crispy skin, unfortunately it was overly salty that we were still gobbling water hours later to shake the salt off of our tongs. Hopefully this was a one time slip. I enjoyed my short rib, it was tender and mildly seasoned. Thumbs up to the puréed mashed potatoes.

Cute place, trendy. The outdoor patio looked amazing, sadly they couldn't accommodate us there. The service was rather slow. They just kind of forgot about us. But friendly nonetheless. I didn't love the food. It was grossly overpriced. City prices for the burbs- no thanks. The kids mac n cheese was not edible. Overall a fun experience because of the company, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again.

Crispy Fried Calamari
allison p.

A lively and sophisticated dinner. Great service throughout, even on a somewhat busy night. Elegant and sleek interior, that does tend to get pretty loud. Calamari was standard. The kale salad was delicious. After sharing it was the perfect starter salad size. The perfectly ripe pear balanced out the vinaigrette nicely and pomegranate seeds are always a nice surprise. The pasta was the star of the show. Perfectly cooked butternut squash ravioli pillows were lightly covered in a creamy, yet light, sauce. The combination of creamy, sweet, and yet not too heavy that this dish strikes is incredibly hard to find.

Good beer, good vibes! I like this place for a nice meal…read moreand Guinness. We had the fish and chips which is cooked perfectly plus I asked for the side of curry gravy - sooo good as fries dip. The place is not big, so it gets packed easily. We usually go here before 5pm and were able to snag couple chairs in the bar. Parking is a challenge, too on a busy hour or day.

Rafferty's was truly an unforgettable experience. I haven't seen this much unearned superiority…read moresince a guy named Connor explained whiskey to me like his family personally invented Ireland. The atmosphere was very "we're better than you," which is ambitious considering half the room looked genetically connected to famine survivors and dock workers. The confidence level in that building deserves scientific study. I walked in expecting casual dining and somehow ended up in what felt like an audition for "Medieval Lords of the Suburbs." The staff acted like they were protecting ancient bloodlines instead of refilling ranch dressing. At one point I honestly wanted to ask: "Sir, are you judging me... while wearing a polo shirt with barbecue sauce on it?" The energy was aggressively holier-than-thou for a place where the main cultural contribution is fried appetizers and vodka seltzer. To be fair, the food was fine. But the side of racial superiority was a little harassing for my ego. Beautiful naturally redheaded bartenders girls though ‍
