“Great service and fantastic food! We had the Mi Quang, the spicy beef noodle soup, and the Bahn Khot Fusion. All were super tasty. Definitely will be coming back!”

“My son had done some photography (OMWP Photography 2108 Armitage) work for the business and had tried the cuisine. Raved about it. Sent me photos. Hence why we were there tonight. I took him out. My pleasure. The owner Zyra gracious and caring. I had Potato soup that was incredible. A Chicken Tostada Zyras moms recipe and she made a couple changes the sauces wow! The steaks I had a Ribeye. One of the best ever. I have dined at all the high end eateries steak joints in the city. This place is a gem. Had to try the desert. We had a chocolate flourless fudge cake. We indulged. I wish Zyra and her husband much success. Jacob Kaufman and I will be back. Thanks, L. Kaufman DDS”

“Absolutely adorable decor as you step into this neighborhood local joint, filled with music legend memorabilia and tv's lit with tunes from Queen. The menu is simple with each burger having its own personality. Each sandwich can be made into a chicken sandwich or a meatless veggie option as well. Had the curds and Parmesan fries on the side. Cute trivia cards to entertain you and your table guests. Was excellent quality food, and wonderfully friendly service.”

“A wonderful cozy restaurant with a comfortable feel to it. The food is delicious with different varieties for everyone.The Bolognesse sauce is on point. Great restaurant for the whole family.”

“If you need to get away from the computers and talk this is a one of a kind place in Chicago to visit. I highly recommend if you need yoga for the mind. Very nice owner as well. 10 plus, 5 star, boom! Thanks for the experience.”

“Very friendly, excellent value, and delicious food! From the salads to the fries, from the baba ghanoush to the falafel, everything was super flavorful and well-prepared. The atmosphere is clean and i”

“I took my Italian mom here who was visiting from Indianapolis. We had an amazing time! I could tell the servers were very busy (I work just down the street so I know how busy Fulton Market gets on a Friday night) but the entire staff was incredibly kind and attentive despite the high volume. Our server Haley was very sweet and timed everything perfectly. She recommended the seabass and was spot on. I would also like to shout out the server assistants who also had great timing and were very helpful! Will definitely be going back.”

“Mario C is THE BEST waiter! Gave great suggestions that were spot on for Prosecco...2 different bottles and each was a perfect companion to our lunches. Also, good beer selection and cocktail. We had artichoke and sunchoke and meatball for shared appetizers, followed by each of us with a different pasta: caico buccatini, bolognese, gnocchi and spaghetti and one stuffed cabbage...all delicious! For dessert...chocolate sorbet, coconut cookie, almond Gelato and expresso martini.A delightful afternoon...not rushed...great food and beverages!Ask to be seated in Mario C's station!”

“I overly recommend it. from the staff all the way down to the food is incredible. very knowledgeable and very happy people. tell a friend Chef special cocktail bar is a must go.”

“This place is amazing. The smelts and frites live up to the hype. The service lives up to the hype (Ask for Jill!). This was the best date night dinner we’ve had since pre-pandemic times. Book a table now!”

“Food was incredible. Entire team was fantastic. Everyone was so nice and friendly. One of the best dinners we’ve had in all our global travels. This is food made with LOVE. If we lived in Chicago, Jeong would be a staple restaurant for us.”

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.”

“This place is the best. The food is to die for. I have been to Boonies several times now and i have yet to have a menu item that i haven't absolutely loved. The service is fantastic and the atmosphere and playlist are great. I can't recommend this place enough!”

“We had the tasting menu, all courses where SUPER GOOD, interesting, beautiful, and we where so full by the end we had to take dessert to go.Dietary restrictions: All is GF”

“Went to the brewery this weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the selection. The classic flights were pretty good and the prices were so reasonable. The summer kolsh was so refreshing. Will definitely be back!”

“I ate so much I think I can fast for the next 2 days. burger was fantastic, wings are phenomenal, and the bacon....sent me to heaven and back. fantastic job from the waiter also, very energetic personality.”

“Amazingly tasty meal from the farm salad to the Spanish bean stew and every corse in between. Each dish was served at the perfect time by a friendly staff member. The restaurant filled as we dined and had a wonderful ambiance. Next time we'll save room for dessert.”

“Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago that’s well deserving of its Michelin bib award. Literally every single dish we ordered was perfect and unique. The crispy chicken, for example, was served in a delicious coconut jus with subtle flavors that will keep you wondering how the heck they cooked everything so perfectly!Reservations are recommended as this spot gets pretty busy, but the service was quick despite the dining room being so busy.I can’t wait to come back here and try everything else on their menu.”

“This is my third visit to this upscale Italian restaurant in downtown. I love their service as the staffs notes down all our requests and suggest the best for us. The menu is vegetarian friendly or you can request to customise. The star dish was their ricotta dumplings. It’s a 10/10 for me. Every item that we ordered was delicious. We got a complimentary birthday cake as we’re celebrating a friend’s birthday. I would highly recommend this place in downtown for a good Italian dinner.Vegetarian options: Pastas, bread, potatoes, aranciniDietary restrictions: They are open to customisation of the dish according to your dietary preferencesParking: Parking is difficult to find as it’s in downtown but paid street parking is available.”

“Fantastic pizza. Best I’ve had outside of Italy. You can literally taste the freshness in the ingredients! It looks like these folks don’t cut any corners. The burrata is unreal, I’m practically drooling writing this. Please order the burrata if you go.”

“A Romantic Italian restaurant with a beautiful dining room, and lovely food and staff. The wood fired brick oven smells and tastes so great. Fresh baked bread, what's better than that?”

“Best sushi I've had outside of Japan! Sometimes, omakase and high-end sushi spots try to get too crazy with their menu, but KND is simple, focusing on the quality of the dish. Our chef was very skilled and gave us a rundown of where they acquire all their fresh ingredients. The sake also paired wonderfully with the sushi. Our 16-course omakase was the perfect amount. A great place for a special occasion.”

“Love, love, loved this place. Outstanding food with a lot of variety on the menu which seems to rotate in new dishes with some standards. Excellent, friendly service. Great neighborhood atmosphere. Burrito is a must, pulpo was cooked perfectly, and the flan. My goodness, the flan... Will be back. Again and again. Street parking available. Reservations recommended.”

“Esme is truly an experience to have. We did the menu and the wine pairing and it was amazing. From the presentation to the food was unbelievable and will definitely do it again as it changes quarterly”

“Have been here multiple times and it has been amazing every time, it is 100% my favorite restaurant. The food is amazing, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is stunning. Consistently have great service and amazing servers. Will visit every chance I get while in the city. :)”

“We walked in so we chose to sit at bar since it was no wait. Bartender/waitress was great. Recommended courses fun attentive nice... Food was great but the pond cake desert was ”

“This was the most flavorful meal I have had in years! We asked for house picks and shared amongst 3 of us. AMAZING. Service exceptional. The staff all helped each other with smiles- so nice to see. Chef Joe Flamm was present, pleasant and engaged with staff and customers. Treat yourself to something special.”

“Dined here while visiting from out of town with friend's recommendation. Though pricey for what you get, our party of 5 was very satisfied. Good quality was very high due to ingredients and preparation. Though we forgot to get a reservation, they were able to seat us in about 30 minutes. Our server was extremely helpful and accommodating.”

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.”

“The food was amazing and such a great to place to take my partner who is vegan. We got the supplemental course for the vegan and non vegetarian tasting menu and thought it was worth it. The cocktail list was fun and delicious. The service was incredible, they were knowledgeable and attentive but subtle and allowed to enjoy the evening. I couldn’t recommend more.Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly”

“A limited menu with decent food. Had the winter squash which was delish, especially the flavor combinations and goat cheese puree. Our table shared a baguette which was nice with the herbed butter and tiny anchovy. I would say this is a stellar place for whisky and bourbon selections if that's your thing. It's not your place if you're on a budget as the prices were a bit steep. Noisy atmosphere. Cute woodsy inn theme.”

“Very pleased with the food and the service was incredible. They paid attention and were right on top of it at each course never waited long. The food and the service together made for a great experience..”

“It's not just the food that makes a restaurant, it's also the vibe. The minute you enter Oriole you know you're in for an evening that you won't soon forget. Never have had such attentive yet not overbearing service. These people are doing what they love and if not they are excellent at acting like they do! Oriole is about you enjoying the complete experience of fine dining without being stuffy or pretentious. It's been a week and I can still feel the serotonin buzz every time I think of one of the gastronomically amazing dishes or delicious wine pairings that my friend and I had. I know I'm laying it on thick but so wowed by everything!”

“Had so much for fun sitting at the kitchen counter watching the talented chefs at work. Our waiter made excellent suggestions. And the food… well it was out of this world! Definitely going back .. so many more dishes to try!”

“First timers and now we will be regulars! The hospitality, atmosphere and fare were outstanding! From the knowledgeable staff, the welcoming management and the hostess that went WAY above and beyond to be sure my disabled husband was accommodated from when we booked our reservation to the end of our dining experience - we couldn’t have been more delighted! See you again soon, Lardon!”

“First of all, the service is excellent. Our server was helpful, and pleasant, always showing up at the proper time. I thought the atmosphere on the lower level was a little too dark for my taste but it didn't detract from the service or the food. Dine upstairs if you prefer more lighting but it's also dim. Now the food. The salads were amazing. Our table had the lyonnaise and the wedge salads. Both were excellent. The ribeye steak, fried chicken, steak frites, all wonderful and recommended. One of our party ordered the salmon which is cooked medium. He said he should have ordered it well done but that is more his preference. Our server asked if it was OK and he said yes so no reflection on the quality of the dish. The creamed spinach is good but very rich. The mashed potatoes were amazing. I will definitely return just to try more dishes. Sorry no pictures. Drinks were amazing as well. Oh, forgot to mention large portions on everything.”

“Easily one of my favorite set dinners in Chicago. The meal was well paced and impressively highlighted the flavors of Scandinavia. The wine pairing was somehow even better than the food itself - highly recommend for lovers of white wines with a little funk. Overall, I highly recommend Elske for a special night out!”

“Est. 1937Layout/atmosphere*13 seats; one TV; see street through windows; bare bones operationService*QuickFood/drink*The Slinger (two hamburger patties, American cheese, two over easy eggs on hash browns and topped with house made chili) - Good; chili not spicy, lot of beans”

“Lovely lovely restaurant. First time ever there after going to Sloomoo.Seated quickly, food came quick. Burgers were delicious.Kids menu-for example it came with 1 French toast, that's it. Would have been nice if it came with a fruit cup.The kids serving could have come with just a bit more food. Enough for a toddler but not enough for an 8 year old. Child said French toast was good. Just be aware.Everything was great.”

“I visited this location on Sunday and they had buy a pound get a pound Free on the shrimp... It was worth the money and drive. The shrimp was delicious!! I'm definitely returning back to this establishment”

“First time going here and it was such a welcoming experience! The wait wasn't that long and the food is made fresh! Great prices and amazing tasting food! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! we got a double cheeseburger and patty melt. THANK YOU TO THE COOK! ❣”

“This is one of the best place to have a delicious South Indian food. Their service and taste will make you feel like you are in india.Good hospitality,Good taste,Affordable price,Must enjoy.!”

“Man, if you are looking for a late night, eat, after you have been partying. This is the spot. Because of the area, I would order my food and wait in the car until it's ready. Really nice ghetto eatery!”

“I dream about max street sausage and onions but they forgot Hot peppersParking: Under 20 I believeKid-friendliness: Walk in outWheelchair accessibility: Seems ok”

“Mr. Molcajetes is a late-night haven for taco enthusiasts. Their steak tacos are a delicious, packed with flavor and grilled to perfection. The vibrant patio sets the stage for an idyllic summer dining experience. Whether you're craving a midnight snack or a lively evening under the stars, Mr. Molcajetes is the go-to spot. I would highly recommend it. Service was fast and I always felt tended to.”

“The fish and food is soooo good! I live in Atlanta but was able to pull up when I was in Chicago last year. I love that they are opened late for those late night cravings. They only had one woman taking orders and she was working like an ox all with the best attitude! She definitely could have used some help. Nevertheless, it was a good experience and I can't wait to go back!”

“This vending machine has been here for years! Very convenient location as it's by the underground walkway. Lots of drink options! Hope they roll this out to more locations!”

“We ate here twice on a recent trip to Chicago. We had the opportunity to have breakfast and lunch. If you want a quintessential diner meal I recommend White Palace. The servings are large and the service is quick and attentive.”

“Nice little spot to grab breakfast around Midway. Food was hot and came out fast. Donuts looked good, but we didn’t try any. Place is open 24/7z In my opinion, it’s better than the options that they have inside of Midway.”

“I'm from georgia and had a late night with friends. It's tradition to hit a waffle house after a night. Well to all my southern folks this is as close to waffle house your'e gonna get. From the atmosphere, resturant layout, and buildings, it is a nice peice of home away from home. Chunky is a fantastic server and showed us a tremenous amount a care and attentiveness. She brought a genuine aura to our night thats rare in a life filtered by facades. Food was fantastic and differentiates itself from waffle house which made it in to its own experience. I suggest everyone give it a try!”

“Decided to give this place a try and they honestly did NOT disappoint! Customer service was amazing and the food was fresh and delicious. Most definitely coming back to try out other things on the menu.”

“This particular Maxwell restaurant is very professional they speak to you when you walk in and ask you how can I help you very good professional customer service have had no issues with this particular Maxwell Street location by the way it's on 52nd and Western on the west side of the ”

“Today, we hosted a couples shower at Stay and Play Cafe! It was beyond amazing! The owners, Yesenia and Jose were so easy and delightful to work with, the staff was attentive, recommending and teaching games to our guests of all ages, the food was delicious(cheesy eggs and quesitos were scrumptious), and the atmosphere was just perfect! I can't recommend this cafe enough. I look forward to having other functions here and/or coming with a group of friends. I can't wait to start spreading the word to family and friends. Thank you Jose and Yesenia for making our day so special! Anita G.”

“First off, the vibes here are immaculate. The restaurant is located on the second floor of Soho House, and the ambiance is very intimate--perfect for a smaller party. The menu is pretty straightforward. There aren't a lot of options to choose from, but each item is very unique. What we ordered: Caliente en los Trópicos: pretty yummy! Supposed to be spicy, but the spice is not overbearing at all. An interesting cocktail. Ceviche: a great way to start the dinner. Very shareable; love the balance of sour and savory flavors. Tuna Tostada: my favorite! I've never had a tuna tostada before, and it's nothing like what I expected. Mussels: you cannot go wrong with the mussels. The bread goes so well with this. Considering the dishes seem so original and the quick service, I'd definitely recommend this spot to my friends.”

“If you claim Pequod’s or Burt’s as some of your favorites you MUST try Milly’s! It’s very similar however it’s executed to a higher standard (better toppings, more cheese providing better ratios)”

“1st here had a great time the was over the top and our waiters Aoturo and Johnny are winning combination ...Can't say enough about our visit look forward returning soon.”

“Love Kasama! I’ve been back each time I visit the city and the breakfast is banging. I know the sandwich + hash-brown is iconic and a must try but their other food is equally as delicious. Would highly recommend ordering online to skip the line if you don’t plan to eat inside.”

“Got the Dan Dan noodles and dry chili chicken. The noodles were delicious and had a good kick. The chicken was crispy and spicy. The peppers made my mouth a little numb and gave my nose a run. Even with all this spice, the dish was still enjoyable. Good, flavorful Szechuan style food.”

“My friend and I ordered the Rigatoni alla Vodka and the Chicken Parm, and they were both great! The vodka pasta definitely deserves all the buzz surrounding it! The pasta was served in adorable china which insulated the heat so well that the pasta stayed hot through the entire meal. The restaurant also provided complimentary appetizers including, pizza & garlic bread, salami, and pickled vegetables.Our server was very attentive and all of our dishes came out quickly. Overall, we loved our dining experience and can’t wait to snag another reservation!”

“the food we got was all delicious! I enjoyed the fish of the day (branzino), quail, and anything with the pork belly in it!they were accommodating of our larger party and even made a little kids cup out of a take out container, it was very nice.”

“Service was prompt, helpful and efficient. Appetizers were good but isot fries were underseasoned and a bit bland. Same goes for the Adana kebab. A nice experience but probably won't return, too many better options.”

“I attended the Sober and Bougie event at Cultivate last night. My first ever event like this. It was really well done. The staff (chef/bartender) were extremely knowledgeable, the courses were timed really well, and everyone was super friendly. I had actually never been to Cultivate before; because I’m doing sober January, this event (that I saw advertised on Facebook) was screaming my name. Im really glad I went. I would encourage Cultivate to continue with more events of this nature.”

“Stopped in for a quick Saturday brunch and was immediately greeted by our server, Tori! She was extremely attentive and carried great energy throughout. Will definitely be returning next time in Chicago!”

“I'm giving 4 or of 5 stars based on food taste preference. I ordered shrimp fried rice, spring rolls, Crab Rangoon, and pork pot stickers. Food was hot and fresh. Parking was free in front there's a step to get in so not wheelchair accessible. The restaurant was clean, I would order from here again.”

“I'm a sucker for Heritage's Happy Hour Oyster for a while so had to circle back for the restaurant week. The whole experience was giving East meets West as it covers a good range of dishes/inspired cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised with how each courses was planned out, with very balanced flavor combinations, leaving me full but not uncomfortably stuffed. My favorite we're definitely the tuna crudo, braised beef and fiancier, hopefully that make the official menu one day. Overall great experience and the downstairs speakeasy space makes it so fun to eat and catch up.”

“Great place for a birthday celebration brunch! Amazing food and service. I love the cool space as well. Everyone was so nice and friendly. I am still craving the octopus dish I had. YUM!”

“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.”

“Let me start by saying that I am kind of a sandwich snob. With that said, the Cubano sandwich I had here was fantastic. The cilantro garlic butter on the bread is such a nice touch. And I don’t even like cilantro!Adding this to my list of favorite lunch spots in the city.”

“The margarita and Bloody Mary really good drinks, we also order a huitlacoche quesadilla, garnacha and queso panela. The taste of frijol molido with chips is like the one you can find in Oaxaca city. For sure we’ll back for the tlayudas, we just went for a drink to wait for a friend and end it tasting more that a drink.”

“Stopped by today with a few friends and split a handful of thing.I only have 5 stars because 15 stars wasn’t an option.I’ve eaten many pastries in my life, and I must say that their cheddar scallion biscuit might be the best one gluten items I’ve ever had. My lord. My friends and I are leaving our church to praise at the alter of that delicious treat.Then came the banana bread. I used to tell my mom that hers was the best, but that’s now a lie. loved their take on banana bread. While slightly drier than some I’ve had, I thought the overall composition and flavor of it was excellent. A must try.Next, they currently have an onion and Gruyère danish….. I don’t believe I telling people how to live their lives, but if you aren’t eating that daily, your life is incomplete and full of sorrow. Go there now. Eat it. You’re welcome.Finally came the croissants. We tried the pb and chocolate and the ham and cheese. I could definitely appreciate the flavor, but they were crispier than what I typically preference. Still, my friend who likes them that way thought it was divine.Ok. Go to Aya now.”

“One of the symbols of Chicago. They serve many types of burgers but are famous for "Italian beef" slightly wet or deeply immersed in broth or something similar to broth”

“First time there and the pour over is just clean and delicious. I can tell they care about their beans and their process. Copped a pound of the Jacob's Wonderbar for my Chemex at the crib and I'm good to go. Definitely be back. ”

“ERIS not only makes some of the best ciders but also some incredible food, all within a comfortable industrial-chic space (and tons of outdoor seating to boot). Nowhere else in the world would I be able to find a dry cider aged in Malort barrels (Apfel Ort) and holy cow, I ordered it twice! For a more standard drink they also have lots of ciders and a few beers on tap. The fried pickles, fish and chips, burgers and fries are all top-notch. I can't wait to go back!Vegetarian options: My wife tried the cauliflower wrap which was a deliciously spicy vegetarian option. The fried pickles are also great!”

“LOVE this spot. I was not even a coffee drinker before visiting here but after having their Mocha Tesora, i've completed switched from espresso! Everyone is super friendly as well.”

“Cute breakfast spot right in the middle of a shop! This is in the Streeterville/ Gold Coast area. A little pricey (for breakfast) but very tasty. Recommend the pastry sampler as your starter! You can shop when you've finished your meal. Service is great and attentive. Recommend you put in a reservation #chicago #breakfast #brunch”

“Wow! We arrived a little early for our Saturday at 7:30 dinner reservations in hopes of getting seated early, if there was a chance. It was restaurant week in Chicago Osteria was very busy. Unable to get a table early, we happily sat at the bar and waited. After debating on what drinks to order, we opted for the "just bring me wine" . The bartender asked if we were having the restaurant week menu, as that had specific wines to go with the courses (which is what we went with). We were seated a little after 7:30, no complaints on my part over that, as they were very busy. When a place is participating in an event such as restaurant week and there is a set menu, one shouldn't expect any substitutions from said set menu. I completely understand this, although having to eat gluten free poses a bit of an issue for me. The options for the main course of the set menu wasn't going to be a problem for me. I inquired about the ingredients on the first course. I knew the bread and roasted garlic, as well as the meatballs were a no go for me and explained that I couldn't eat the prepared salad due to the croutons. Much to my glee, I was offered a caprese salad instead of the Caesar. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the bread with roasted garlic in oil and vinegar, as well as the meatballs and Caeser salad. The soup was a delicious chicken and vegetable soup. At 8:10 started to get nervous about the time, due to us having tickets to see Drunk Shakespeare at 9pm. This was poor timing on my part, I should have reserved our table for 7pm or earlier not 7:30pm. When our waiter came over to check on us I explained that we needed to put out by 8:30(ish). Mild concern came over his eyes and he went back to check in at the kitchen. Moments later, a gentleman came to our table (I'm assuming the manager) to discuss our predicament. He kindly explained that our main course wasn't going to be ready for another 20 minutes (the restaurant was very busy). The timing would have been just fine any other night for us, but not that night. After a discussion with the manager, we all came to an agreement of us having a second bowl of soup and paying ala carte for what we had eaten and forgoing the set menu. I take full responsibility for our poor timing and am delighted in how the restaurant was gracious and accommodating. Our waiter brought over two glasses of chocolate wine to finish off our meal. The food was outstanding and the service was even better. Next time we are in Chicago, I'll make sure to set enough time aside to enjoy the full eating experience.”

“I just have to say, the owner went above and beyond for us this afternoon after a mishap ordering through Uber eats. We thought that we ordered a buy 1 get 1 free chicken shawarma plate but were disappointed when we realized we did not hit the correct button to apply the promotion. When we called they graciously offered to deliver the second shawarma plate. Love their food and after this experience we will be recommending them to everyone we know!”

“Whoever makes the chicken wings baby them are finger licking good ? 9/10 . Excellent entertainment as well first here was last year. I'm have stop by again to get great show and wingz baby!!! Nice lady I meet with blonde hair with glasses believe she's regular very sweet lady I felt welcome in her ”

“Best kind of spot- small but varied menu where everything on the menu is great. The polish might be the best in the city. Their Chicago Dog puts portillos to shame, & their hot peppers are very hot- don’t play if you don’t love heat.”

“Ordered polish and Italian ice combo for lunch today and it was delicious! The perfect blend of salty and sweet. I was craving summer and sun and this hit the spot. Going to be my go to lunch spot from now on.”

“I have been to Portillo‘s at least a dozen times and I’ve never been disappointed. On my last visit, I got the large Italian beef with sweet and hot peppers, and traditional dip, to go. For my tastes, this a simple guilty pleasure, moist tender beef , on a slightly wet bun dipped in the beef gravy topped with peppers / gardenia - OUTSTANDING.Wouldn’t have minded a little more gardenia, but otherwise outstanding”

“There’s “salads” from fast food restaurants and then there’s THIS! Absolutely wonderful!!!! I got the poblano chicken salad and I really enjoyed it! The salads aren’t boring, they have so much texture which really makes eating more greens EASIER! Thank you! I’ll be back ?Service was so sweet as well ”

“Our son lives in Chicago and we asked his girlfriend to choose a nice place for us to fly in and take them out to dinner to celebrate his birthday… Obélix did NOT disappoint! My husband is French and used to work in the food industry so to say our standards are high is an understatement. You will come out of an experience here a few pennies poorer yet you will chalk this up to a rich gastronomical experience bar none. The service is impeccable (timing and engagement) and food, sublime. I was so looking forward to sharing angel food cake with my son as we did while he was growing up but we simply indulged all evening and had no room but for espressos. We enjoyed a bottle of Crémant to start and followed with a bottle of Beaujolais Fleury which was incredible once it opened…. The Dorade was outstanding and my family enjoyed the pâté en croute, soupe à l’onglon gratinée , les escargots bourguignon, macarons avec foie gras; and absolutely adored their aged steaks… the experience was outstanding and was well worth the flight to make a memorable evening with our beloved son. Try to save room for dessert as I hear it’s outstanding !!”

“Kind hearted people are quite rare to find as cooperate people or as individuals also. I'm sharing a 4 years friendship and business relationship i've shared with Mr Ralph Carico for being such an awesome, kind and specially oriented. Thank you for being supportive each time i buy and invest in digital stocks and coins with your firm.”

“First, and foremost - The Best Dinner I have ever had. Mixed Green Salad - Fresh, inviting and simple. Short Rib Beignets - To Die For! A Beignet stuffed with Braised Short Rib, brilliant. Tar Tare of Boeuf - What carnivore doesn't enjoy a good Tar Tare Ceci Bean Cavatelli - One of the best pasta dishes of my life. Escargot - Is it the snails that make it or the Garlic Oil you sop up with bread? Answer: Either one, just scrumptious. Ora King Salmon - Simple but the Tarragone brunne banc and caviar, and flawless cooking technique, makes this a top class seafood classic. 55 Day Dry Age T-Bone Steak - Cooked perfectly, well seasoned, if you have an issue with this steak, maybe you should of stopped and McDonalds for a happy meal. This in one of the best steaks in Chicago. Roasted Mushroom - Simple and delectable. Boeuf Fat Fries - Amazing, Hot and Crispy. Not a vegan option. BoeufHaus a must visit.”

“Beautiful food and wine. Great atmosphere. Staff that were attentive without being overbearing. Michelin stars. And a 5m walk from the apartment. This could become an expensive habit!”

“Update: We were generously welcomed back to Ever for a second go at the experience and it was starkly different and very enjoyable. The food was well executed and the service was incredibly personal. They somehow recognized me and addressed me by first name when entering which was very impressive! Ryan was our sommelier for the evening and his personality and descriptions of the wines were amazing to listen to, and his passion was evident. Paulina's attentiveness and care for our experience was a bright spot as well on the evening. Based on this experience we could definitely recommend Ever, but hopefully you get this the first time around. Thanks Ever team for a great redemption and treating us to a very special evening!Original review for reference:My wife and I dined at Ever for our anniversary this year, and I had contemplated leaving a review but decided to share our experience. We were unfortunately let down. Overall, the food was not what we expected. There were a couple dishes that were very salty, and at least one that just lacked flavor in general. The hamachi was incredible, though, i wish the rest was just as good. The service, although very professional and consice, simply lacked personality and any sense of individualism. It also just felt a bit rushed and that they were on a mission to complete the job. We were asked to supply them with info on special occasions before we arrived, which I did. I expected at least the service staff to be aware of our anniversary but as we walked in the hostess asked us if we were celebrating anything and us telling her was clearly the first time any employee there had heard it. We've dined elsewhere at less rewarded and reputed restaurants where even the valet knew, and we were greeted with a special glass of wine and handwritten note. I don't want to sound pretentious here...but the bill was not light. We spent a significant amount of money at Ever only to leave feeling unfulfilled, and we are not partivularly wealthy. However, we are both in the food industry and looked at this experience as a sort of pilgrimage. Perhaps we should have said something while there but I think we were just a bit shocked. I would not recommend the Ever experience.”

“I’ve found one of the best ALL YOU CAN EAT HOTPOT experiences here in Chicagos south loop and it’s at Wagyu House! Everything is superior quality - the meats, the service and the ambiance. Their A5 Wagyu beef is FLOWN IN DAILY from Japan and Australia!!! Their AYCE option includes options like wagyu, crab legs, sushi, ramen, lobster and more; it’s unbelievably good! The shrimp balls were so good - Deep fried with a tasty sauce and I loved putting my crab legs in the broth and eating them warm; they honestly tasted great just chilled! This beautiful restaurant is great for a date night or girls night out and they even have happy hour and I love the little cute robot servers they have rolling around! The interior is very modern and even though there can be A LOT of people around, the noise doesn’t get overwhelming. Dont just take my word for it- go experience this amazing restaurant yourself!”

“Absolutely excellent bar, amazing staff who are calm, kind, and knowledgeable. The entire environment is intentional and high quality. We sat at the bar and got to see the drinks being prepared which was a great experience. Have heard good things about the food though we didn’t try any this time. The drinks are INCREDIBLE. This is a MUST GO in Chicago. We made a mistake with our reservation and they were kind enough to still put us on the waiting list and we were able to include this in our trip. Very grateful and will come again!”

“The taste was much better than I expected. The two of us spent over 500, with nearly 100 in tips. The A5 Wagyu was more delicious than I imagined, and the oysters are definitely a must-order item at their restaurant. The only issue was personal; I’m someone who doesn’t like being frequently asked "how is everything" while eating. Although the person in charge was very enthusiastic, it was just a bit too much for me. I hope in the future they could pay a bit more attention to individual customer preferences.”

“I've eaten my way around 40 countries + 48 US states and this is easily one of the most intimate, unique, and realest dining experiences I've had in my life.My partner booked a secret res for my birthday and when we rocked up, I was surprised when the team greeted me by name and spoke to me like a group of friends that were 'checking in' and 'gassing me up' at a celebratory dinner. Later, I was told that she filled out an 'intake' style form letting the team know of birthday, and recent accomplishments. I know... Different. Lol. Love that.The O.G. style Omakase Experience in an industrial speak-easy space with a mini-counter seating only ten. The ambience, hospitality, F&B menu, conversation, everything was M☆.Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee's creation took our palats through a rollercoaster of emotions.If talent is only as real as the people behind the wheel, and an idea is only as special as the person who executes it at its highest level, then Chef Naomi's talent and authenticity is nothing short of un-fu*kingreal, for real.We came strangers and left as friends – Brian; you're a real one. Chef Hannah, Chef Andy, and Alex on bar; y'all are craaazy! Thanks for the memories. Cheers, y'all – Braa + Ronnie”

“What a culinary delight! We were the first guests to arrive at the start of dinner service during a mid-week evening. We were warmly welcomed by the coat check host. He confirmed our reservation calling us by name. Our seating preference was requested, and we were shown to the main dining room. Joan Miró art work, large decorative vases of flowers and subtle classical music surrounded us. Fabulous. Our waiter, the warm and open José as well as his associates exuded pride and deep knowledge of the evening's beverage and culinary offerings. There are prix fixe meals, but one can order ala carte, we learned. My personal standouts were: the Wild Mushroom Soup, and Peking Duck with lentils and mandarin glaze. I finished with Artisan Cheeses that included the mushroomy Normandy Camembert - a flavor I've only experienced once before! The wine list is extensive: half-bottles as well as by the glass, for those who prefer more options. I recommend looking at the digestif menu too. Varied, surprising and good! I am including a couple photos of the Ladies Room on the upper level: a meticulously clean, elegantly linened, relaxing space.”

“Incredible food with unique presentations and textures. Great vibe in a relaxed atmosphere. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend it for a special occasion.”

“My wife and I have never been to a Michelin star restaurant and now that we live in Chicago, we had plenty of options. For our second baby moon we decided to treat ourselves to an experience at El Ideas. The whole experience was amazing! The location is really unassuming and not in some pretentious building or area. It was such a laid back yet exquisite experience. Guests were allowed to wonder the space and take in the food preparation. You could ask questions of the chefs. It was really neat and nothing like I've ever experienced. Since there are a limited number of reservations the entire staff is really attune to guests needs. I have no complaints about any of the dishes. Some of the standout dishes were the shrimp dish which was an ode to the history of Chicago fried shrimp. The Swedish style meatball cooked in smoked beef tallow with gnocchi was so well balanced. The smoked duck bahn mi and smoke duck pho was amazing . The Lamb dish was out of this world! I'm still in awe of the vanilla shake and fries dessert. It was truly a work of art. The vanilla with the crunchy potato bits and potato and leak soup just worked. I could take one of those every day. This experience is definitely worth it! I hope to be back in the future!”

“"I attended their dinner for NYE 2021. Many of you saw me on the ABC7 NYE Television Special with Val Warner and Ryan Chiaverini. I HAD A BALL!!! I highly recommend you going to one of their shows!!!" - Pierre Andre Evans Owner/ GO BANG Magazine”

“All I can say is WOW! This steakhouse was incredible! Cannot recommend enough. The meat paradise was truly an experience and a delicious one at that. Our server, Leo, was probably one of the best servers we’ve ever had anywhere with his charismatic personality and caring service. He truly made this restaurant a memorable time! Forget about Brazilian steak houses or what not, money was WAY better spent here! Photo is before the delicious steak was grilled to our liking in front of us.”

“Very kind and careful staff cared about our experience from the moment we booked all the way till we left feeling happy and fat. My beautiful bride and I enjoyed their tasting menu with obvious tweaks to her vegetarian diet. Everything was delicious, surprising, and fun. The NA drink pairings were wonderfully inspired and amazing. 11/10.”

“Woooow woooow y wooow! Súper recomendado! Los dueños y sus hijos etc super atentos! Todo es fresco, el agua de horchata de chocolate me encanto! Las tortillas hechas a mano en el momento, lo mejor de todo poder platicar con el dueño y su esposa y que nos compartieran su historia de como comenzaron, anécdotas y mucho más! Felicidades! Y que sigan creciendo!”

“A solid Vietnamese restaurant on Argyle Street. Saw several posts on Instagram recommending this place so decided to try. I was pleased to see they offer Bun Rieu ( tomato & crab) soup noodles as not all pho places serve this. The Bun Rieu was on point and came with a good variety of veggies. I also ordered the char grilled pork vermicelli bowl which came with a generous portion of pork. Note, they open at 10 am, even if they don't answer the phone. Paid street parking. I recommend and will return!”

“Very impressive drinks and menu. A modern twist to Mexican food definitely 5 stars. Waiter was amazing at guiding me what to choose based on my traditional Mexican entrees I enjoy. Margaritas were AMAZING!!!!”

“This place is worth the hype! We were visiting from Canada and saw this place on food insider. The owner is an absolute legend. Very friendly and hospitable. Will visit again when we are back in Chicago!”

“May God bless the kind & benevolent souls who work at this legendary restaurant. May God grant them and their families prosperity.Vegetarian options: Falafel, fries, hummus & pita, lentil soup, and I believe the stuffed grape leaves are vegetarian (though, some variations of the recipe may contain meat), so I would double-check with them if the stuffed grape leaves are vegetarian.Kid-friendliness: Restaurant seating offers a great family friendly environment”

“I've had every deep dish/pan pizza of note in Chicago in the last 30 years and George's is the best. That includes legends like Burt's and every place that's been on any best pizza list - Pizano's, Malnati's, Pequod's, Millie's, Labriola, etc.”

“The chicken was so juicy and the fries were perfectly crispy. Food came quickly and was super hot and fresh. Service was friendly and efficient. Absolutely delicious!!!!”

“So many delicious flavors, it was hard to pick. Our family of four enjoyed our different choices. It's a beautiful ambiance for the beginning of summer with indoor and outside space. Staff was very friendly and helpful in helping us decide which flavors to try. Def recommend and we'll be back to try new flavors!”

“We came from Wisconsin to ouck up food from this joint!!! the food is STRAIGHT!!! DELICIOUS!!! Henry was very hospitable and a great person!!! thank you Henry for the great food!!! It was worth the 2 hour drive!!! we will be back!!!”

“First timer all we had was great chicken katsu, spicy pork, shredded pork forgot what it’s called and can’t forget the Spam musubi! So glad we have great food in Chicago.”

“I think I actually teared up eating JPGs. Having lived in Chicago my entire life, this was my first time ever eating here. There are no words to describe the flavor, attention to detail, and quality of food. If you are considering eating here, do yourself a favor and try it. There is no way you can be disappointed. You will understand what I’m talking about once you’re picking the fallen off scraps from the sandwich wrapper. Thank you for this taste bud blessing.”

“this place is so cute and everyone is so warm and welcoming. We have a huge group for brunch on a saturday so we were really thinking we weren’t going to get to try it but they really made space for us and accommodated everyone. Even the customers here that seem to already have a good relationship with the staff talked to us about why they liked it. The food was 10/10 too and very filling”

“This place was very good and authentic. I bought a couple pounds of chicharrones which came in huge slabs. If you just want to snack, it could use some seasoning, but for cooking it's perfect. The menudo was flavorful and thick and came with seasoning and sides. The staff were very busy when we arrived, but the owner was very nice and talkative. He explained everything in detail to my wife while I drooled over all the meat.”

“This was my first time visiting here after hearing thru the pizza circles how good this spot is and I can say I wasn't disappointed. I had the pan style which is thin but with a nice crunch but not overly hard. The cheese,sauce,mushrooms and onions were are all flavorful and was a perfect combination. I will be back for sure.”

“Amazing little super vibey speakeasy tucked away in the back of the Moon Palace restaurant in Chinatown! Delicious small plates and even better cocktails! Order the Paradise Lost drink and you'll know what I'm talking about!”

“Not the best neighborhood, the counter is like a mini fortress! But the chicken here seems to be always Hot and freshly cooked, people working there seem to Enjoy themselves and service is good. I have two other Popeyes that are closer to me, but I go to this one instead”

“Not sure where all the bad reviews are coming from, but I going the morning and service is always awesome. I enjoy their drive-thru service. They are pleasant, food accurate, only gripe bacon is always cold.”

“I can’t believe this was my first time at this diner, and I live around the corner. I have been living In Pilsen for three years. The staff is attentive and so friendly and welcoming. It is cozy inside and makes you feel at home. The chicken chilaquiles were excellent and fresh. I ordered pancakes to go, and they were delicious. I love the affordable meal, and I can not wait to return and try more of the menu.”

“I've been going to Manny's for years, and I never knew their name. They have nice portions, and their tacos still taste the same, delicious. Thanks, Manny' Tacos ? ? ? ? ? ?Parking: There's a lot south of the corner from the restaurant, that's where I've been parking for years.”

“This place would get top marks from me even if their coffee and pastries werent awesome just for the simple fact that they dont really have a to-go cup option. I think that's just fantastic and I enjoy myself every time I walk up to the window cup in hand.Oh and their coffee and pastries are awesome!For anyone who, like me, has lived nearby for years and thought "there's no way this place can be as good as everyone says it is" it absolutely is! I cant wait to hang out on their benches this summer!!!”

“Great food, better service, awesome atmosphere.Chef Joc is very professional and took the time to meet and listen to everyone who dined.Prices are very comparable to the downtown Chicago area. Mo and Anna Maria served with excellence and were very clean and orderly.”

“best food ever the burek with potatos and pasta with goulash was the top food best food ever and i cant wait to try more everything is freshly made. for pickup nice resturant too cant wait to come back and try more delicious food”

“Love how calming and futuristic the placed looked. Didn’t have anywhere to eat though. The food was very delicious. I recommend to get the meal from take a bao eats and get the crispy spicy Aioli chicken bao was super good. As for the service, everything is digital all you have to do is wait for the food which isn’t long of a wait. A lot of different foods to order.”

“This is the best Jersey Mikes location staff is always so friendly, so welcoming, food is Fresh, just great customer service. I will always come to this location to get my sub.”

“The Quesobirria was super delicious. The tortillas are literally handmade and fresh to order. I was impressed how attentive the staff was. Came with a couple of friends from out of town and I definitely think this place nailed a super delicious quesobirria. I will definitely come back. Found my new spot for birria!”

“Aji is an absolutely tremendous omakase experience. True to concept, every element of the presentation has been thoughtfully composed - not just in each delicious plate, but also the ambience, the drink menu, and the restaurant itself. Chef Rick puts a remarkable amount of thought and care into the curation of the menu, and every bite has a harmony of beautiful flavors and textures. I'm absolutely going back, and I've already told all my friends to check it out.”

“The Ugusi soup and Iyan Fufu I ordered from Ubereats were so good that I had to stop eating to write this review. Chef kiss to the chef! It was fresh, not too spicy, and absolutely delicious.”

“Oh!My My!"everything Is "Supurb ""Especially"the Smoked Mac&Cheese AND, let's not forget The Soups of The DY>Farina Mffins"Yes,That's WhT,I said PLEASE 🙏 come By,You WON'T Regret! Your Experiencing ♡♡&Comfortable Dinni g....”

“Las carnitas están deliciosa. espero este Verano represen las carnitas. y ahora los buñuelos están igual deliciosos y todo lo que an echo con amor al cliente 100% recomendados.”

“What a welcomed addition to the neighborhood, small yet intimate. Fabulous food complete w/a fabulous, thoughtful staff - very attentive, always smiling!! My new go to place for authentic Greek food, aroma of fresh coffee, and exquisite orange pie. Not to be missed!!”

“The manager stopped by and was very hospitable with awesome recommendations. I can’t wait to come back! Amazing vibes, great music, and the food was phenomenal”

“Sierra our server was super friendly & attentive. She offered great options and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our time at STK. The food was super delicious & everyone else was very friendly & helpful, will def be back <3”

“Lovely spot with very unique dishes that are delicious. Always crowded, reservations recommended. Dress up a little, because people look nice here. Highly recommend.”

“So we came in for a proper meal and to change up atmospheres a bit. Lillie & Maria were great and patient also happy to accommodate us with a smile, coming back soon!”

“I chose the Walnut Room for a late lunch with a colleague because it covers all the bases -cozy atmosphere, good menu choices with reasonable prices, and most of all excellent service from a very hospitable and attentive server. Who can beat the yummy chicken pot pie that comes with a fresh salad for $15 in an iconic cozy dining room with a great view in downtown Chicago? We were able to have a great lunch with good conversation all in the space of an hour. I have been to the Walnut Room during their busiest Christmas season with family members and have always had a great experience - even though I've never been seated next to the giant Christmas tree! Actually, there's not a bad seat in the place. Even when we had to wait awhile for our food, the atmosphere was so exciting, it was all worth the wait and the food and service was great. I call the Walnut Room "Tried and True"!”

“We decided to come to Chicago for our birthday and someone we knew recommended here. Let me tell you I am 100% glad we went with it. The service was absolutely phenomenal. Vinny was our waiter and gave us a great experience along with a great service. The food was amazing, we enjoyed the Crispy shrimp for a starter along with steaks for dinner. One of the best meals and dining experiences I have had in years. Steak48 and Vinny made our Chicago trip worth it in just one evening. Also I recommend getting an old fashion while here!”

“This place was fantastic!! We ended up going at 2 PM for a late lunch on a Saturday thinking we'd get in easily, but it was nearly packed. We were still able to get in without a reservation. I was impressed by the quality of the food and particularly the knowledge of the waitress who knew an amazing amount of detail about the wine. We will absolutely go again.”

“Food was great and server was attentive. It was family style and for 5 people we shared 2 kebabs , falafel (MUST HAVE) , eggplant spread (GREAT ON PITA), potato's (THE BEST POTATOES IVE HAD) , and beets and citrus. It came with free pitas and with 5 drinks it came to about $45 split evenly for 5 people, which wasn't bad at all for the quality of the food and no one left hungry. I will definitely visit again.”

“I stopped by this place a lot because I was headed elsewhere and the baristas have customized specials that is listed on the mini chalkboard by the register when you order. I like customized drinks so depending when you go in, those drinks change daily. There is no issues with service and the drinks are always delicious. Since the location is downtown near the shopping district, the decor is much more imaginative and creative than those standard drive through locations. I imagine there used to be heavy foot traffic so assuming the clientele is more on the tourist side as there is ample seating. Average cost of customized drink is $10”

“We had a large group on a busy Saturday night. However Jason gave us his full attention and always made sure our plates were full. Thank you Jason ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Cocktails were excellent! Had a Hendricks martini and Yu-go Hugo. The baby iceberg salad, similar to a wedge salad, was delicious. We both had the twin petite filets wrapped in prosciutto medium but it was undercooked unfortunately. Waited for a couple minutes but the server wasn't around so we just made due with it. Whipped potatoes desperately needed salt. Dessert was creme brulee and it was a good portion and enjoyable.”

“Stopped in for dinner and beers with colleagues. Then sat in the bar area. We started with burrata and side dishes. Both were very delicious. I loved the pita bread and hummus on the appetizer plate. I will definitely get it again. Round two, we had fried chicken, croquettes and pizza. The chicken is super delicious. It was fried very well and the sweet sauce was great. I liked the pizza, although it was closer to flatbread because the crust was very flat and thin. Nice beer list. The cocktail list could be more impressive. Service is very friendly and attentive. Five stars!”

“We were looking for something nice to end our first night in Chicago and Petterinos delivered. Had a great time with my wife, food and service where awesome even though we were the last ones in the restaurant. It was a memorable evening, thank you! Will definetly recommend to other friends and family when they come to the city.”

“First time at the Chicago location. Outdoor seating was great to take in the downtown atmosphere. Food and service was top notch just like at their other locations. Staff was just as friendly which adds to the experience.”

“Great place for a quick bite or a full meal! The wait was 45 mins but we found spots in the bar and sat right awayVegetarian options: Food can be modified to make food vegetarian”

“What a welcomed addition to the neighborhood, small yet intimate. Fabulous food complete w/a fabulous, thoughtful staff - very attentive, always smiling!! My new go to place for authentic Greek food, aroma of fresh coffee, and exquisite orange pie. Not to be missed!!”

“When I called to ask about their hours, the owner hit me with, "My lamb is the best in Chicago." With that kind of confidence, I just had to check it out. This place is truly a hidden gem! So many pros: The meat is cooked and seasoned to perfection, even the tricky lamb is spot-on. Located in River North, super convenient for city workers. All staff are super friendly. And they don't even expect tips! Mandi Lamb A must-try! The owner's so-called top lamb in Chicago is tender, not gamey, and served with spices and long-grain rice for an incredible flavor. Generous portions too. We ordered half a portion, but saw others going for the full size. Fahsa Yemeni Lamb Stew A must-try! The broth is incredibly rich and spicy, with lamb cooked to ultimate tenderness in spices, served with traditional Yemeni flatbread for a rich and unforgettable flavor. Kebda Lamb Liver Would have thought it was a Chinese stir-fried liver if no one mentioned. Seasoned with a rich array of spices and onions, it's full of the meat's natural flavor and aromatic layers. A bit oily but goes well with rice. Cucumber Salad A refreshing cucumber salad, intensely cucumber-y but a bit too much dressing. Not greasy but just okay in texture. Dates Middle-Eastern style sweet dates, a complimentary treat from the owner, who also offered other sweets which we were too shy to accept. Summary: A heartfelt small diner with numerous advantages I won't repeat. Atmosphere: Not much of an ambiance, only four tables, quite cramped, dining while looking at the kitchen. Service: The owner and staff are genuinely friendly, tips not required, water is sold bottled.”

“Ordered ahead and it took about 20 minutes to be ready. Got back and was amazed by the quality of the bread / filling. My favorite had to be the bulgogi sando or the strawberry ube. Would definitely recommend trying as someone who is from out of town.”

“Wave Sushi is where it’s at! The food is incredible (try the truffle tuna!), the staff is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is fantastic! Great Happy Hour and vibes!!!”

“I went to Olio e Più for my first time last night and I really enjoyed it! To start, I really liked the vibe - my boyfriend and I went around 630pm so given the sun was going down, it felt really relaxed and cozy. For my drink, I ordered the White Plains - super refreshing and tasty. My boyfriend got the Old Fashioned which he said was one of the best he's had in Chicago (and he always orders an Old Fashioned). To eat, I ordered the Gnocchi Pesto e Pistacchio and boy, was it good. I will say, our service was some of the best we've had in a long time as well. We had a really nice experience and meal and can't wait to come back again! Thank you to the Olio e Più team for a wonderful Friday date night!”

“The setting was so impressive along with very attentive staff and delicious food. The space is most surprising. Don't be fooled by the outside. Open the door to the most cozy light infused space.”

“Love Cava and so glad they’ve made it to Chicago. The food is every bit as good as I expected and the service was above and beyond. I placed an order on the app and screwed up by placing for pickup 2 1/2 hours later than I wanted it. Even though they were busy and their computer systems restrict their flexibility, they helped me and adjusted my order so I could get it soon after I arrived. Super happy with Cava!”

“We came without reservations and arrived a few minutes before 5pm on Saturday. There was already a long line - we ended up getting on the waitlist and got in after an hour. While in line, we met the owner - very cool dude and you can tell he's very passionate about ramen. The food and service were both excellent - well worth the hype! I ordered the miso and a friend ordered their special of the month, the Toyama Black. I preferred the miso - I like the chewier/firmer traditional ramen noodle (rather than the thin noodle) though the Toyama Black's broth was delicious and very light. The miso broth was a very good traditional miso broth - it was perfectly seasoned and not overly salty (but extremely filling).”

“Good service. Very nice atmosphere was not too loud. Drinks were great, and definitely not run of the mill. Food was fresh and well thought out. Will make the trip again. The cheese curds are the best”

“WOW...it's some of the best fast food. And the staff is soooo amazingly friendly and helpful. Those fries are fire. The sandwich is amazing. I will so be back and be back often. There isn't much seating, but I'd go even if I had to sit in the car to eat.”

“A beautiful new restaurant located in the Saint Clair hotel! The staff was so knowledgeable and helpful on what to order. Homemade pasta and the ravioli recipe was a speciality from the owners grandma - definitely recommend! Don’t skip the baklava sundae for dessert”

“Omg when I say me and my kids just killed the samples marko let us try I had to go back in and order fye fye fye food was so delicious and great customer service too don’t hesitate to eat here I promise you will not be disappointed and reasonable prices too!!!!”

“The food is very delicious and a great price. The chicken shawarma sandwich is excellent. I’d highly recommend adding hot sauce and hummus to the sandwich wrap.”

“Dawn A.M. Eatery is located in the Hyde Patk neighborhood inside the historic Windermere apartment complex on Chicago’s south side. It’s walking distance from the Museum of Science and Industry located on the lakefront. This all day Brunch establishment offers delicious breakfast and lunch items with standouts like homemade biscuits with flavored butters, creamy and well spiced Shrimp and Grits, deviled eggs with smoked salmon and a variety of mouth watering baked goods. The atmosphere is sunny and colorful with friendly and welcoming staff. It’s perfect for families or a girls catch-ups. Dawn is a busy place, so make a reservation and be prepared for a delightful meal and enjoyable experience!”

“04/02/24 - What an awesome add to the neighborhood. Teriyaki Madness is in the mall next to The Smash burger on Foster Ave. It's less than 1/2 mile from my house. I actually sampled their chicken teriyaki @ a Yelp event up in Lake Bluff @ Bernie's Book Bank. Teriyaki Madness has a store up in Gurnee, IL The teriyaki comes in 3 different sizes, Junior, regular or large. I ordered the regular sized chicken teriyaki bowl & it was more than enough for me as I had a little bit of left overs to take home. They have different options like regular or spicy chicken, chicken breast teriyaki, steak teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, tofu teriyaki & chicken katsu. Wry good seasoning w Great options. They also have appetizers like edamame, egg rolls, chicken potstickers & crab Rangoon. I was very pleasantly surprised w/the grilled chicken teriyaki served over brown rice w/veggies like cabbage & broccoli. I really enjoyed my meal & scarfed it down. I will definitely be back to try some of their other items like the steak teriyaki or chicken katsu.”
