Restaurant on Rt 38 in Winfield.

I think Cooper's Hawk may have an evil spawn.

Only serves booze, the servers are extremely rude and talk to you like you are an idiot.

Used to be a char house of some sort that I drove by a zillion times but never stopped. Doesn't look like a good location.

50K people per day drive by. And Douchebag too.

I drove past this place the other day...used to be Morgans steakhouse. Surprisingly the parking lot was crowded.

From Yelp.

Quote:
I wanted to love this place because it's close to home and replaced a restaurant I enjoyed visiting on occasion.

I've been one time for lunch and once for dinner. Both times the meals were decent. Some items were very good, others were just fair at best. The bottom line is none of the dishes were worth the fairly steep price.

My biggest complaint with this place is the staff. The first time I visited for lunch there were two gentlemen greeting (and I'll use that term very lightly). Actually, they were both at the register trying to figure out how to split a bill. It was truly comical, but so inappropriate when a patron is standing very nearby. It was kind of a dumb and dumber skit to be honest.

Then there is the waitstaff. Both times I've been there we had a different person waiting on us. Considering the atmosphere of this restaurant, the food they are serving, and the prices they're charging, they have not chosen the appropriate staff at all. Both individuals were overly chatty, lingered wait too long at our table on many occasions, and were simply inappropriately chummy.

But what took the cake for me last night was when our waitress was at another table and I could just barely hear the conversation but she asked the two young people sitting there if they were having an affair. No joke.

Also I remember the first time we were there the waitress told us that the desserts were purchased. Last night our waitress brought a tray of desserts to our table and four to the items claimed they were old family recipes. With the crème brûlée she had no idea what it was I had to tell her the name of it. She said it was some kind of "oven pudding."

And what about the name Cooper's Corner, you ask? We asked our waitress the first night and she said there was absolutely no reason for naming it that other then the owner thought it was cool. Obviously they are attempting to ride on the popularity of Another very similarly named restaurant in the area. Bad call.


This person sounds like a pleasure to be around, what with the grilling the waitstaff about fucking everything. Bitch you ate at a mid-level steakhouse, what did you expect?

And another.

Have you read the Yelp reviews of CSFMB?

It's a bloodbath.

Mid-level steakhouse is being a bit generous.

I Had A Terrible Experience At This Restaurant Because I Am A Terrible Person


My fiancé and I were extremely excited about checking out El Paraíso, the new upscale Cuban place that just opened up in our neighborhood. Or at least we WERE excited. Having just had one of the most disappointing dining experiences of my life, I have two words for you: Steer. Clear. Especially if you’re an awful human being like me.

The evening started off fine—at first. El Paraíso’s ambience is a nice combination of modern architecture adorned with traditional art, a touch of rustic in a classy nightspot. But things began to go downhill VERY quickly when I asked if they could please turn the music down. Our host, who obviously spoke English as a second language, seemed surprised by the request, so I repeated it again, slowly and condescendingly. I mean, seriously, I’m a guest in your restaurant—why would I do something like that?

We started with a round of El Paraíso’s signature sea salt margaritas. Because it was served in a cute little mason jar, it was far too easy for me to lose track of how many I drank on an empty stomach. It’s like, “Hello! You’re supposed to be a business! Couldn’t you tell immediately that alcohol would only fuel the seething, unrelated frustrations I brought in the door with me?”

I wish I could say our El Paraíso experience was a fluke, but honestly, it’s just one in a string of totally unacceptable situations I’ve created lately, at everywhere from Hernandez Auto Repair on North and Oakwood to my brother’s wedding.
There’s a diverse menu of tapas-style appetizers—too many to try in one visit! If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to go off-menu and demand a split order of the fried plantain chips and taro fritters, then berate the nearest server within earshot when this turns out to be something the restaurant does not offer.

On to the main course. This was maybe the biggest disappointment. Rather than pick any number of options available to me, I went item by item through different entrees, asking them to cobble together an off-menu Frankenstein of Cuban ingredients. You’d think that would be enough, but I also requested that a manager come to our table and assure us that the tortillas were gluten-free, even though I can eat gluten safely and regularly do.

I wish I could say our El Paraíso experience was a fluke, but honestly, it’s just one in a string of totally unacceptable situations I’ve created lately, at everywhere from Hernandez Auto Repair on North and Oakwood to my brother’s wedding.

El Paraíso might be some people’s cup of tea, but if you’re me? I’d just avoid human interaction altogether.

I've seen this place while driving around Winfield looking for Douchebag's house. It is a challenging location. Your biggest pool of customers would seem to be the DuPage count govenment center on County Farm (courthouses, administration, law offices, etc.) and the golf course at Cantigny and you could easily go to each of those places many times without ever knowing this place exists. If you don't know it is there on Roosevelt, you quite literally would find it by accident. And it looks like a big place to try to fill.
