“I had lunch with a friend who was new to Indian cuisine. Our waiter took the time to give us the background of the restaurant and explain multiple dishes, noting the difference in flavors and spices, and giving recommendations. He was so patient and kind, and you could tell he genuinely cared. We loved all of the dishes we ordered. The short-rib special was so delicious and huge! The lamp chops were also out of this world. Will definitely return!Dietary restrictions: All meat was halal except the chicken. Check with server or call ahead.”

Nadia's terrific eye for design and ensuring your event will be great. She took all the stress off me with room set-up, design and suggested color scheme.

Thanks so much for everything!”

439 Talcott Ave, Lemont“Real chill vibe with an awesome staff. It's also super close to just about everything - incredibly convenient for downtown area. They also sell booze you can bring home with you, so if you're only wanting to grab just one obligatory drink with friends then maybe a sixer to bring home to share with your partner or self or friends, whatever - they've got you covered! They have outdoor spots as well and the music is right up our alley, so there's really nothing negative I could come up with.”

“We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Carlisle in November of 2023. As most people, we looked at multiple venues to select the best one for our special day. After visiting several locations, we went to The Carlisle and from the moment we entered we knew this was the one. The Carlisle is very elegant with a lot of mirrors and crystal chandeliers and after meeting with the event planner we were sold. Laura Papa was welcoming, professional and explained everything clearly. She answered all our questions with great detail and made suggestions, but never tried to upsell us. We had found the perfect place for our wedding! Every time we met with Laura, we became more sure that the Carlisle was superior to all other venues. My husband to be, wanted the evening to be magical for me and magical it was! Laura and the staff at the Carlisle were phenomenal. They listened to what we wanted and delivered beyond our expectations. We highly recommend The Carlisle to anyone looking for an elegant, well-run establishment to host any event. There are many venues to choose from in the Chicagoland area ,but if you are looking for a perfect experience, The Carlisle is the best choice hands down.”

As a veteran, a single mother, and a person of color, I have never felt love like this from ANY Veteran Organization, and I want to thank all of the members and guests that supported myself and my family during our hardship. We walked in with hope and walked out with a new family. If you are a Veteran that needs help, please come to this post, literally anyone who is there will point you in the right direction. Thank you again Post 2164 and thank you for accepting my family into your family. You all deserve all the goodness this world has to offer. I pray your Post continues to grow and prosper.”
“The environment is clean, neat and best of all spacious! I left a very crowded gym before coming here, so it’s refreshing to see the machines I want to use available when I come in.”
“That Girl + Co is amazing! We rented the space for a baby shower, and it was absolutely beautiful. We barely had to worry about what to decor to bring, because the space is already perfect. What we did bring with us (coffee bar, balloon arch, buffet) the owner and an employee helped us set everything up in time for our guests. 10/10 recommend!”
“This place really took me by surprise. It was clean, owner friendly, 2 floors if needed and great location. I just celebrated my mothers 70th birthday and will definitely recommend this place to anyone.”

I had my daughter’s second birthday party here and it was so easy and the staff were so helpful! I’ve bought my daughter the cutest tutus, books, and toys so if you just want to go stop in and shop, they have the cutest gift options.”
“We had our wedding ceremony and reception here. It was incredible. The grounds and architecture are beautiful. The event hall has beautiful stained glass windows. The mansion was elegant. Our guests said it was the a classy and relaxing environment and that’s exactly why we chose it. This place has so many ornate details in the ceilings, flooring, staircase, woodwork, and windows. Tours were also offered to our guests making it a unique and fun wedding experience.What I loved most about this place was the event coordinator, Sherry. She put so much of her attention, time, and heart into our event. She was professional, responsive, caring, and helpful. She knows everything it takes to make an event goes smooth. She worked with every vendor to ensure the our evening went well.The Peabody Mansion will always be a special place in our heart. Not only was it beautiful venue but it was Sherry who made the night absolutely seamless and perfect. We are forever grateful to have worked with someone who cared about our wedding as much as we did.”
“I had a birthday party for my 9 year old here and it went great. Ahead of time they were easy to work with and had a variety of good art projects that she and her friends could do. The day of the party was easy. They had all the supplies set up, had a blue tooth speaker for music, and the facilities were very nice. We used the outdoors area for ice cream sundaes which was great option for having a more covid friendly party with unvaccinated kids. The price seemed very reasonable for the space and instructor time. I would definitely recommend them for kids who would like a craft/art party and you don’t want to have your house trashed!”
