About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
Located just west of downtown Naperville, Mesón Sabika has been serving the community since 1990. Built in 1847, the pristine four-acre estate and beautiful mansion welcome you before you reach the driveway. Whether you dine in one of the mansion’s eight dining rooms decorated in traditional Spanish décor, attend a wedding or corporate event in the pavilion, or sit out back on the patio, the cuisine of Spain and delicious drinks make for an unparalleled dining experience.

For a quiet, romantic dining experience we recommend a week night reservation. The small mansion rooms fill up on the weekends, making for a more lively dining experience.

Our dress code is "proper casual/casual dressy." Gentlemen, we respectfully ask that you cover up your arms (no tank tops). And ladies, we ask that the majority of your midriff is covered (no bandeaux’s). We ask that everyone remove their baseball hats when dining inside the mansion.


Thank you!

    We have not been to Meson Sabika for a few years, and we have good memories of dining there. However, all of us were disappointed this time. The food is good but very sparse for the price. You get very little tapas for $13.95 and up. Even the dinners are overpriced. I don't remember it being that way in years past. Tapas aren't meant to be large portions but were smaller than I remember and cost more. The other issue is that if you are there for dinner and are on a business trip, they will not give you separate checks.

    We had a wonderful evening at Mesón Sabika with our family of four. The food was exceptional from beginning to end, with each dish offering something special. We started with the bacon-wrapped dates, which were delicious, followed by the shrimp, which was also very good. The baked goat cheese with tomato and basil was absolutely amazing—one of the highlights of the evening. The grilled lamb chops were fantastic, perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The grilled beef tenderloin medallions were equally impressive and truly exceptional. My wife also enjoyed the grilled octopus, which was excellent. For dessert, we shared the plantains, which were fantastic and a perfect way to finish the meal. We accompanied our dinner with a bottle of Marqués de Murrieta Reserva Rioja, an outstanding Spanish red wine that paired beautifully with our selections. What made the evening particularly enjoyable was the opportunity to share so many different dishes, each thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The quality and consistency across the entire meal were remarkable. Mesón Sabika delivered an outstanding dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking for excellent Spanish tapas and a memorable dinner. We will certainly return!

    Always enjoy tapas, and the food here is lovely. Our waiter was excellent and the service great. But everyone was crammed into a single dining room notwithstanding the multiple available options, making conversation difficult and generally ruining the experience. Moreover, the price point is tipping to the bad value side. A single lemon chicken breast for $18. A single beef empanada for $15. 5 small pieces of sausage for $14. I get prices are rising everywhere, but this is ridiculous. Time to find another venue.

    We had not been to Meson for a while and I said why not!! Each food we ordered was absolutely mouthwatering, the wine our server Max helped us select smooth and delicious, the ambiance so cozy - the hostess placed us in her favorite room that we had never been in, and the service outstanding as Max was stealth anticipating every need before we knew it, bringing new plates, pouring wine, refilling our water, and even laughing at my jokes;) Will be back soon and bring friends.

    Paella was flavorless and food was not authentic Spanish. Check out Ba Ba Reeba in Chicago for the real thing!
