William Tell Restaurant - Countryside
Established in 1952, the William Tell Restaurant quickly became a landmark place to dine in the Western Suburbs. We were renown for our elegant dining room, old world charm and European style menu. In 2005, the restaurant was completely remodeled and the menus totally redone. Now the new William Tell still maintains the flavor of its old world charm, but offers a slightly more casual elegance. With the new menu, our customers will find a mixture of old masterpieces and some new classic and modern offerings. As always, great hospitality, superb cuisine and wonderful ambience will insure that you have a fantastic dining experience here at the William Tell.

"I made reservations for four on Sunday at 12:30PM through Open Table. Several days before Mother's Day, I received a call from the restaurant saying that my reservation was at 1:00PM, not 12:30PM. When I told her that I had a confirmation from Open Table for 12:30, she told me that: first, they only take reservations on the hour; and, secondly, they don't honor them from Open Table. We went at 1:00PM.
Finally, they were making everyone walk the entire length of the hall (almost out of the building at the other end) to check-in. It was difficult for the elderly, and those of us confined to walkers. Overall, the reservation problems detracted mightily from the overall experience. Fortunately for them, the quality of the food was excellent."

"We were quite disapointed when we were seated at a table that was incredibly drafty. The tables were so close to a door to the outside that was open non-stop. It was the same table that we had to ask to be moved from last year. It would have been miserable if we wouldn't of asked to be moved. The food was very good but the ambience wasn't there. It was to crowded to enjoy, It has become such a popular brunch destination on the holidays that it was a very uncomfortable experience. You had to wait 10 minutes in line for hot plates that came right from the dishwasher. Our table was in the corner and was still very drafty but at least there wasn't a door to the outside 15 feet away. It just wasn't a very pleasant experience for the money spent."

"We went to Sunday Brunch on Palm Sunday not knowing anything about their brunch. Wow were we surprised! The selection of food was non-stop; king crab legs, smoked salmon, oysters, lamb chops in wild rice, prime rib cut to order, omelets made to order, pastries, fresh fruit and so much more. The champagne and orange juice kept flowing from the ever attendant servers. The live piano music was a plus."
