Wasabi

Sushi and incredible ramen are on the menu at Wasabi. Tonkotsu broth is simmered for over 40 hours to create delicious ramen dishes. Also enjoy a wide variety of rolls, sashimi, and other small plate offerings. A BYOB restaurant.

Montarra Grill

For the Northwest suburbs, Montarra Grill is a hidden gem with a downtown feel. It serves Contemporary American cuisine with top notch service.

Gio’s Café

Gio’s Café will surprise you. As you enter the deli, you’ll discover a cozy Italian kitchen with checked table cloths and a delicious menu of meat, chicken, seafood, and pasta dishes. Other offerings include freshly prepared Panini sandwiches, sausage and peppers, and arrancini. Portions are large and the price is right. A BYOB restaurant.
