Post #1 - February 12th, 2011, 7:42 pmWe'll be driving in from the burbs, or maybe taking the train, so location isn't a problem. I would like to do lunch next week someplace special for my mom. She's not an adventurous eater like we are and i'm having a tough time coming up with a great place. I finally decided on Nomi and they're closed for remodeling. With 80 being such a big deal, I just want to show her a wonderful day!SAVING ONE DOG MAY NOT CHANGE THE WORLD, BUT IT CHANGES THE WORLD FOR THAT ONE DOG.

Post #3 - February 12th, 2011, 9:12 pmOn another thread we have been discussing Le Titi de Paris in Arlington Heights. Unless you wish to go to downtown, Le Titi might be a good choice. Of course, French food might be too adventurous, but the food is pretty straight-forward and good in an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. They also have a coupon for lunch on line.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone. It's all about the butter. -- Adam Gopnik

Post #4 - February 12th, 2011, 9:23 pmHave you considered Terzo Piano? Easily accessible and certainly the surroundings are pleasant enough. An Italian spin on the menu, but with a modern American take as far as ingredients are concerned (and in that respect, I think, comparable to NoMi).

Post #7 - February 13th, 2011, 9:18 amI have to second RL, my older family members love this place. Their food, while not adventurous is old school and very well prepared. The selling point for family is that besides good food they can hear themselves talk as the room acoustics are well designed. This is a great mom choice.For what we choose is what we are. He should not miss this second opportunity to re-create himself with food. Jim Crace "The Devil's Larder"
