Urban Grille Description:
Bob and Jeanette DiPasquantonio, who live in the day trip-friendly town of Geneva, are clearly onto something with their ever-packed, casual-upscale burger joint that's steps from the shopping district. Avocado- and butter-colored walls, flagstone accents and leather furnishings do exude a swanky, sophisticated vibe---we're just not totally convinced it's Chicago they invoke. Still, people are lapping up the concept (and the designer burgers). Start with the shrimp Alyx appetizer (or get it as an entrée); the crunchy breaded crustaceans reside in a pool of hauntingly good citrus cream sauce. Fried pickles with spicy ranch sauce are a good way to go, too, as long as you don't mind paying about 75-cents a pop. Artisanal burgers---choose from beef, turkey, organic veggie, salmon or chicken breast---are topnotch on a chewy white roll with toppings like Brie, a fried egg, roasted poblano peppers or chimichurri sauce. Creative sandwiches, salads and wood-grilled pizzas are generally solid, too.
