The restaurant sits across from the Downers Grove train station in the former Lemon Tree grocery space, and its own site now plays up an "elevated and fresh aesthetic" with an industrial bar and, per reviewers, a trendy, comfortable room with an unexpected '80s rock-and-roll motif running through it. It's picked up back-to-back Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence in 2024 and 2025, and the Chicago Tribune's Phil Vettel has reviewed it -- real press, not just local buzz.
The current menu leans into a Black Angus beef filet with cheddar polenta and truffle fries, Spanish octopus, honey mustard Scottish salmon, and a crabmeat beignet starter, while an afternoon wine promotion offers curated pours for $8 and 25% off all bottles from 3 to 10pm. Closed Mondays.
