Nat's On Maple - Sycamore, Illinois

Myy fiancee and I were running errands and stumbled upon this little gem of a restaurant with a quick Google search.

We started off with a favorite appetizer of ours, fried calamari, which was delicious, but slightly over cooked. As a soup connoisseur, I couldn't resist the New England Clam Chowder Soup, which was perfect! While waiting for our lunch, we opted to try their bar. He had a Woodberry (Woodford Reserve & cranberry juice) and I had the Lemon Drop Martini. Both drinks were made to order and we're delicious. My S/O's lunch was a Bison Burger and fries while I had the beef stroganoff. Both dishes were delectable, and packed with flavor.

Lastly, I feel that the service did not match the upscale ambiance of the restaurant since the hostess was dressed in jeans, and would often "rest" his foot on one of the padded chairs in the entryway. While dining, I often found myself wondering if he could not hold himself up.

Overall, I would stop by again, however, I wouldn't mind trying another place, too.

Arancini appetizers are absolutely delicious a must have!
Next, we ordered the cedar plank salmon and the Crispy Cajun chicken everything seasoned and topped perfectly bravo to the cooks. Then to finish off the night, baileys Crème brûlée

Service and food was fantastic
High recommended!!

Service was spotty. Stroganoff was really potroast over noodles. They made an error with my son's bison burger and took 15 minutes to bring the bacon and onion it should have had. Meanwhile burger was cold. They did not offer any compensation for their error.

Staff was very attentive and friendly. The drinks were good. The coconut shrimp were cooked perfectly and I wanted another sauce to take home. I am not usually a fan of salmon but the flavor and char that come from the plank are amazing! Well worth the money.

Got the Shrimp and Grits after a hard decision because the menu is amazing. Let me tell you. I have had this dish up and down the east coast and even in New Orleans. This is one of the best I have ever had. Deep rich red sauce taste followed by grits that were just cheesy enough. I don't drop 5 stars often but this place has the ambiance and knowledgeable and attentive staff to back up amazing food. Well deserved.

Staying at the local campground, we had dinner at Nat's and enjoyed our dining experience completely. My cedar plank salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious.

New to the area thought I’d give Nat’s a try. First the Bruschetta is probably one of the best I have ever had. So 5 star on the Bruschetta! Perfect amount of sweet and tang with just right amount of basil. The breads are crisp with a slight softness in the center. EXCELLENT.
Now the issue. 3 stars. I also ordered the beef stroganoff. I was surprised when there was no meat in it. I didn’t read description, just looked at the picture. When I went back to see if I was missing something, it said there was braised beef in it. Well mine didn’t have any meat in it. So I paid $25 for noodles, sauce and mushrooms. It had amazing flavor just would have been nice to have the complete meal. Weird you forget the beef in beef stroganoff. That’s a complete lack of quality control there. Over all the meal was good just a little disappointed about the Stroganoff. Received the delivery quickly.

One of our favorite 'Nice' restaurants to come to. As a local, we can't think of another place nicer than Nat's! The food, service and ambiance impress us everytime.
