Tony and I don’t get to go out alone very often. Other than the occasional weddings over the last 2 1/2 years since our youngest son was born, I think we’ve been out without the kids only a handful of times. Thanks to my in-laws, this past weekend was one of those rare occasions.
We were celebrating Tony’s birthday so I left all the choices up to him. He had no problem picking the movie, but dinner was up for grabs… and we both refused to spend a night without kids cooped up in a booth a Applebee’s. (Don’t get me wrong, I love any eating establishment in which I don’t have to cook 
A while back a vendor for Passport Unlimited visited my real estate office and I bought a couple of these cards that offer a free entree with the purchase of another entree at participating restaurants. Most of the restaurants are for fine dining so I figured that a night without kids certainly qualified. We decided to give J.Todd’s Steakhouse in Plainfield a try.
On our way to the Kerasotes Showplace Theaters in Naperville I remembered passing J.Todd’s on Rt. 30. I must have passed that place at least 200 times since they opened and didn’t realize that is where it was!
I was really impressed with the atmosphere at J.Todd’s and I have to admit it wasn’t at all what I expected from the exterior. J.Todd’s Steakhouse holds the anchor unit at a large strip mall just south of 135th and Rt. 30, but that didn’t for one second hinder the dining experience on the inside.
Dinner was absolutely delicious… and we even splurged on dessert. Of course I swore off eating ever again after consuming so much food, but it was worth every calorie.
I think we are just going to have to find more frequent occasions to sneak off to dinner at J.Todd’s without our kids! They also have an elegant bar area… and even a karaoke night.
You’ll love J.Todd’s and the atmosphere, but don’t just take my word for it. See for yourself! If you want to get your Passport Unlimited card for your complimentary entree from J.Todd’s you’ll just have to buy, sell, or rent a house from me this year
