Carnivore The Queen - Downers Grove

Amazing!!!!!!! Everything was so tasty…. I enjoyed baked oysters and the prime aged ribeye was out of this world. I tried the oscar style on the steak and it was just full of flavor! Staff had a great sense of humor!Food: 5/5

I had a fantastic meal last weekend at this supper club restaurant that we brought my mom to. It was the first time at Carnivore The Queen. From the outside the restaurant is nothing special as it’s in a small strip mall and there’s not a lot of parking. Don’t let that fool you. Once inside, it’s decorated very nicely with black walls ceilings, beautiful lighting and artwork. There’s a bar in each dining area as well. There’s a small front and side, outdoor patio with umbrella tables, too.Our server was Zane, who was very personable and engaging. He gave us the history of the name of the restaurant, when I inquired and explained the menu. He made the dining experience that much better.My husband and I started out with cocktails. I requested a mezcal paloma and my husband had one of the old fashioneds, the Minocqua which was amazing. Next time I’m getting that cocktail.We started with a relish tray that we shared comprised of beer cheese dip, ham salad, housemade crackers, crudités, olives and cornichons. The relish tray is definitely a throwback to the supper clubs of the past. It’s good for two to share. I I asked for bread, which was served warm with salted butter topped with fried basil and salt. I was surprised there was a charge for the bread. With the high prices at this restaurant, it would be a nice touch for their customers to provide complimentary bread and charge for the second loaf, if requested.My mom and husband had the beef wellington, which was the Saturday night special. It was fantastic. Perfectly flaky crust, and the fillet was cooked as requested, medium rare, I had the seared scallops, which were perfectly grilled and tender and fresh.This restaurant is pricey, but worth it. There is a five-course signature supper for 66, which would include the relish tray, wedge salad. shrimp crab Louie, roasted chicken, and dessert. You can swap out the roasted chicken for another entrée with an upcharge. I think that is the way to go so you can have a little bit of everything from the menu and control the price.I can’t think of one negative about our dining experience except the charge for bread. I’d like to come back for a burger and cocktails at the bar Their way burgers look fabulous! I definitely recommend this restaurant, but be prepared for sticker shock. We don’t mind paying for great service and food, but others may not. FYI

A really nice, old school kind of restaurant with a lot of steakhouse favorites. In an unassuming strip mall area, but it's very nice and comfortable on the inside. They do have outdoor seating as well. The prices and the portion sizes were very good.Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian optionsParking: Strip mall parking lot

Nice place, agreeable atmosphere, and very good service.Deserts are delicious. My favorite was peanut cream cake.The crepe was the lowest compared to the rest of the menu, and Margarita had extra salt.

This meal was like eating at the home of a chef that’s a family friend. The duck wings were simply spectacular. We ordered and shared ribs and ribeye and both exceeded expectations. Kevin provided excellent service and we know we will be back. Find time to try this restaurant. You’ll love it!
