Aurora needed this restaurant. It's location next to the theater makes it perfect for pre-show or post-show dining, but it will be a destination of its own soon. Downtown has several casual restaurants, but it needed an upscale dining room. This restaurant has a casual vibe, but the food is definitely upscale. Eight steaks to choose from, salmon, branzino, and more. It is described as a blend between owner Amy Morton's Evanston steakhouse and her Evanston seasonal (farm to table) restaurant. Whi … – show

Update, After watching Sound of Music at the Paramount. We went back to Stolp Island Social. We had the crab cakes appetizer, the flounder and I had the center strip. The meal was so delicious, Just like the 1st time, the staff was great. And I'm so, glad I was able to have their wonderful food that everyone talked about. I know things happen and I'm so glad I got to experience the total package at this wonderful restaurant. Thank you… Unfortunately, I have to displace a bad review. My girlf … – show
Went on a Thursday evening when the Paramount and Copley Theater had shows. The decor is charming and Sarah our waitress was helpful and attentive. The food left a lot to be desired. Two of us had the lamb bolognese which was tastless. It was spaghetti with ground overdone lamb. Supposed to have ricotta cheese but didn’t taste it. My husband had the pork chop. It was huge, but had a lot of fat and didn’t appear quite done. The fourth person had the fish he said it was OK but nothing special … – show

Had reservations for 4pm before the 5:30pm Paramount show. My dinner date, an 81yo with recent knee surgery, couldn't sit comfortably in the soft low chair we asked to be re seated and the hostess didn't hide her annoyance. (I had talked to the restaurant the previous day and mentioned mobility issues. However, the food was outstanding, the cocktails were fabulous, and our waitress Katie was wonderful. Best steak I've had in ages, will definitely go back.
I got a dry aged Tomahawk and ordered it medium rare… it came out pretty over cooked so that was a bummer, thank goodness they had A1 sauce. Other then that I enjoyed my experience and had a tremendous time. The deviled eggs ere so yummy and the decor is captivating. Oh, 1/2 off bottled wines on Tuesday’s.
So glad we decided to have dinner here before the show. Such a cozy atmosphere, great service, and wonderful food. The short ribs were delicious and drinks were great, too. We can't wait to return.
Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Excellent customer service and amazing food! My waitress Sarah was very attentive and welcoming!
