It goes without question, that the restaurant offers an unmatched dining experience. Guests can dine indoors and enjoy the grace and charm reminiscent of a European Villa or can choose to sit outdoors on the terrace while enjoying the ultimate alfresco experience underneath 150-year-old oak trees which cover the estate. Guests will find that each item on the menu offers a taste of Spain. Whether it’s enjoying hot and cold tapas, sangria, an entree or a vintage wine – there’s always a pleasant combination of exceptional food, friendly service, and unique atmosphere where family and friendship can live life in celebration.

This restaurant is on very spacious grounds and has a very large patio for outdoor dining which is a treat. I found the food to leave a lot to be desired. It is a Spanish influenzed tapas restaurant. The salad and artichoke heart warm meal (Salt de something) that I had were very fairly priced but the dressing on the... More

My husband and I tried Meson Sabika in the search for great tapas that wouldn't require us driving all the way downtown. This place did not disappoint! The grounds are gorgeous: a building that is clearly used for private parties was all dressed up for what appeared to be a corporate event. They have a private lot, that I'd imagine... More

Walk in the door, especially after dark you you are transported back in time in this wonderful space. Can be a bit busy on weekends, but great service and excellent choices for all courses will bring you back again.

First of all, what kind of tapas restaurant makes you ASK for a list of sherries? Isn't that kind of a signature of tapas restaurants? I hadn't been to Meson Sabika in several years. We went more frequently when we lived in Naperville, before the tapas craze got into full swing. Now, it's one of the few tapas places left... More

The food and service at Meson Sabika are great. Good sangria. The setting is very nice in an old victorian home. Easy parking in large lot with none of the downtown Naperville parking hassle.

I have lived in Naperville over a decade. I have said at least 50 times...we need to try Meson Sabika. We went on a friday night without a reservation (a no-no) and had to sit in the bar. That being said, we were there early and had a LOVELY table in the bar. I would almost prefer it the next... More

We LOVE the food and Meson Sabika. You must try the potatoe salad and the bacon-wrapped dates. If you are new to Tapas, you might just ask the waiter for suggestions. I would avoid the larger meals and just get lots of cold and hot tapas plates. You will have lots of flavors. Our last two visits had very poor... More
