The Greenhouse Inn is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always delicious and their service is friendly and welcoming! I go at least once a week and leave full, satisfied and happy. Lily and her team go the extra mile to ensure customers enjoy their meal and time at the Greenhouse Inn.

What a great experience. Having lived in the area for 12 years, it is a shame we had not done the Sunday brunch sooner. We Will definitely be back soon with friends too. Keep up the good work.

Love this place—it's got that old-school diner charm but with a big heart. I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and veggies, and it hit the spot like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. Staff is always sweet and welcoming, and knowing it supports Misericordia just makes it even better. Real feel-good food in every way. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area.

We love the food, the service and supporting the good work that Misericordia does for the developmental disabled and their families. We definitely need more opportunities for those with disabilities to live and work not just in IL but in country. My daughter also lives here !

The food was delicious. I had the best service with a smile from my dear friend, Charlie and Debbie. It was a pleasure to sit in the bright and sunny atrium. This is always such a cheerful place, and today’s visit filled my heart with joy.
