Emilio's Sunflower Bistro

Dinner at Emilio's Sunflower Bistro.
30 S. LaGrange Rd, LaGrange, IL



A classy but cute restaurant in downtown LaGrange reminded me of what Main Street America is supposed to look like. It was a little too bourgeois to be truly Main Street, but that didn't make me like it any less. "See, if it weren't for you, I would be way more blue collar," T told his elder brother. "I'd be drinking beer and watching ESPN. Not sitting here having a cheese plate and pate."

But to be fair, our cheese plate was fairly grounded in the Real America. It even included a Parmesan to ensure that there was something familiar. The garnish pairings were quite nice though. I was also happy to see a salad made of leaves other than iceberg. :)

Rather quiet on the Saturday evening we visited, it was just the right mix of flavorful food and an elegant, but not too stuffy setting. Plus, the cushy couch seating was great.
