so beautiful and delicious, the ambiance is great, especially at night and it has pretty views. Their drinks are also very pretty and yummy
Came here on a whim, long wait for a different restaurant that we chose, but Santo Cielo was close by. Love the ambiance and atmosphere, music was great energy and the decor is sleek and comfortable. My girl and I shared 5 different plates and everything was excellent. We had the Brussels sprouts, caramelized carrots, skirt stack, chicken bao, and the shrimp tacos. Plates are the perfect size for sharing for two. Would definitely come back!
Santo Cielo, perched atop Hotel Indigo, offers a dining experience as elevated as its location. With a gorgeous view of the downtown Naperville skyline, it's a spot where the ambiance almost makes you forget about the hiccups in your meal. Almost. Let's start with the good: the openness of the restaurant, coupled with the panoramic views, sets the stage for a delightful evening. It's a great spot for a date night or a laid-back gathering with friends. Plus, who doesn't love feeling on top of the world while sipping a cocktail? Speaking of cocktails, my wife swears by their espresso martini...or at least she did until our last visit. This time, it arrived with dark rum instead of vodka, which threw her taste buds for a loop. It wasn't bad, just not the same. Kind of like expecting a text from your best friend and getting one from your boss instead. It gets the job done, but where's the fun? We weren't super hungry, but we thought we'd try the Caesar salad. Well, let's just say, it was Caesar-ish. Word on the street (okay, the waiter) is that they had to tweak the recipe a bit. Unfortunately, the result was a salad that left us more puzzled than satisfied. Then came the fries. You know, fries can be a saving grace, a universal comfort food. But these were paired with an aioli that was watery enough to consider a career in soup. I'm no chef, but I'm pretty sure aioli is supposed to have the consistency of, well, aioli. In short, Santo Cielo's got the views, the vibes, and the potential, but a few of the dishes and drinks need to come back down to earth. Would I go back? Sure, but I might suggest they swap the Caesar salad for a skyline view and keep the rum out of my wife's martini.
Everything was amazing! From the service to the food and let's not forget the drinks! We tried the short rib gnocchi, muscles with pasta, and branzino with potatoes! Our server, Alexis, was very tentative and had great suggestions, which made the experience so much better! We will definitely be back!
Everything was great. Atmosphere..Food..Drinks..Service..Perfect!! The Kola Club was amazing. The bread was theeee best I've ever had anywhere around the world (I've been to several countries) I had the Papadelle De Mariscos & it was savory & tasteful. Our server Lexi was quick, attentive, and did wonderful with the recommendations as it was my first time. I will for sure be coming back & spreading the word about this hidden gem.
Angel was amazing today! We celebrated my best friend's birthday here today and we received a complimentary champagne toast and on the house dessert. My steak and eggs brunch was supreme and the Table mimosa was just perfect for 4. Definitely coming back again!
I had a great time here! First date night since we had our baby girl and it did not disappoint! We started out with the Caesar salad, baked oysters, the shrimp tacos, the chicken bao buns, hamachi- I LOVED THEM ALL!! the oysters were good not great! But would def come back again! The shrimp tacos were so fresh and flavorful . Def recommend coming here for a date night
