Spartan Ale House - Naperville

Took nearly 2 hours for dinners to be served. Food was cool, not even warm. My Grouper Rueben was cold and the Mac and cheese cold as well. We were told the kitchen was slammed. Service was slow at best.We were attending the dueling pianos event, which was WAY TOO LOUD. Made for a very uncomfortable evening. One couple in our group canceled their dinner order and left.If service will be impacted and staff is not equipped for such a large crowd, don't hold the event.

Cool place with plenty of tvs. It was busy when I walked in. We stopped at the bar to have a beer and an appetizer. The chicken skewers were terrible. Take a look at my picture. It's like they dumped the entire dry Italian seasoning on them. So earthy. Worst chicken skewers I've ever had. Cool place though. I might try it again. So bad though. So bad. Updated... the bartender stocked all the ice with her bare hands. Lol. Literally picking up large ice cubes with her fingers and putting them in the bin. ... sanitary. Don't get the big ice cubes.

Food was very good. I had the fish and chips and a beer. The food that the various members of my party had also looked good. I think the fries were double battered, but they were delicious!

I wish I remembered the server's name because she was amazing! She was so friendly and personable. The espresso martini and Jefferson's old fashion were amazing and the food was delicious!

Everything about this place is good. Really enjoy going here.
