Absolutely love this place and it's so cute from the string lit patio to the modern vintage decor inside. I had the Days Gone Chai martini along with goat cheese balls and filet sliders. Literally to die for. They also have a great brunch on Sundays with a DJ :) The staff is all incredible as well. Service was always fast and friendly.

Patio! This location used to be Jimmy's. It's right in the heart of downtown Naperville at the intersection of Washington and Chicago. Bev's has one of the best outdoor patios in all of Naperville. So, if it's a warm sunny day and you want to be outside, consider Bev's as the hot spot. The food is pretty good and of course they have drinks. We ordered the goat cheese balls appetizer and it was amazing.

I loveeee me some Bev's! Since opening a few years ago in Downtown Naperville, Bev's has been a favorite of mine for any meal of the day and especially for their amazing cocktail menu and variety. It was my first time going in for their Restaurant Week, and I was very pleased with the price ($38 for Prix-Fixe dinner). The spinach salad was light and fresh, the short rib was superrr tender and flavorful, and my friends vouched for the goat cheese balls as well! Service is great and staff are fun and helpful!

What a gem, this restaurant has a delightful interior. Food is delicious and service was so phenomenal. Great spot for lunch or brunch. I had shrimp tacos and fries, both were fab. Atmosphere was not loud and we had a lovely brunch. Parking in the ramp across the street is free. Highly recommend this restaurant. They take reservations and many folks were enjoying post-half marathon meals while we were there.

I love the food at Bev's. Executive Chef Nadia makes innovative, creative and delicious food. The food is definitely 5 stars. Angie was our server, engaging and sweet. We sat in the dining room, and there also is an outside patio and bar area. This is not my 1st time as a patron, we love brunch here as well. On this visit, the service was dreadfully slow from receiving our cocktails to the food service. Even receiving our check warranted me getting up from our table to find our server to request the bill. I never experienced this lack of attention before at Bev's. We were the only table in the dining room for three-quarters of our time there. The patio was not full to capacity either. Off night? Last night our party of four shared the goat cheese balls and the lobster bao. The goat cheese balls were the perfect crispy bite with a creamy cheese filling. The lobster bao was ridiculously delish. The poached lobster on that little steamed bun...amazing! There was a little confusion, tho, when I asked for another bao so each of us could get a bun since there were only three on the plate. Usually, restaurants will up the items on a plate for an additional charge to give each diner a portion. Unfortunately, we were told the lobster couldn't be split so we paid $22 for another full lobster bao plate when it was brought to the table instead of one piece. I don't get that. The four of us had the monthly special, the grilled flat iron steak. The steaks were all cooked medium rare as requested. I enjoyed the steak flavor, the chimichurri sauce and the potato croquette. Very good! My friend's steak wasn't warm, tho, so he wasn't happy. He should've sent it back, but service was slow so... We also ordered the roasted carrots side dish, perfectly roasted and sweet. I wish I didn't share that dish. Yum. Like I said, the food and Chef Nadia are definitely 5 stars. Our experience this time was subpar as far as service and attention, especially since we were the only table in the dining room section most of the time. Our friends said they won't be back. Not just because of service, but the bar wasn't able to make my friend's requested cocktail. I felt bad becauseI was excited to introduce them to Nadia's cooking. I've followed Nadia for years craving her food. The moral here is a service really does impact the dining experience.

This is a very nice and visually appealing restaurant. Both interior and exterior dining areas are beautiful. We sat outdoors and it was a lovely experience dining with our 15 mo old. The appetizer that we got was delicious and creative. What knocks down a star, is that the menu is pretty small, and the burger we shared just wasn't good at all. It was way over salted, not a good balance of flavors and mostly salty and bland. The sweet potato fries however, so so good. Would be willing to give it a try again (potential in the food) but just wish there was a better main entrees.
