“I couldn’t find any other place with lamb chops like they cook them here. They’re so juicy and buttery good. I def recommend the food and the portions are up to par with price. I love the staff here they’re all so friendly, my waitress here was Jess, she’s such a friendly young lady. She’s attentive and she brought the food hot and ready, our drinks were amazing too! I love the customer service here. Over all good restaurant and staff. 10/10 would recommend. I can’t wait to bring my family again“

“This place is impeccable. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful. Dessert blew my mind. So inventive and fun! Highly recommend.“

“Everything was great. They served a lot of foods that I normally dont like, but the way they presented it was so delicious. For example I absolutely hate bananas but they served a banana desert that was delicious, I ate every bite. I would def recommend this place for anyone looking for a delicious tasting menu. And the service was superb.“

“What a fantastic experience. Maxwell's Trading may have just become our new favorite date night spot in Chicago.

From the moment we walked in, the room had an effortlessly cool vibe—warm, energetic, and stylish without ever feeling loud or pretentious. The tables are thoughtfully spaced, so you can actually enjoy a conversation, which made for a perfect date night.

The staff was exceptional. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and eager to make the evening special. Their enthusiasm for the food and hospitality really shines through.

The food? Outstanding. Every dish was incredibly flavorful, creative, comforting, and beautifully executed. You can tell there's a lot of thought behind each plate, but nothing feels overdone—it simply tastes amazing.

And then there's the soundtrack. The chill music spinning on a turntable brought back that effortlessly cool '80s vibe and tied the whole experience together.

If you're looking for innovative food, outstanding hospitality, and an atmosphere where you can relax and actually connect with the people you're with, Maxwell's Trading is a home run. We can't wait to come back. Highly recommended.“

“Had a great experience here twice while in Chicago for the National Restaurant Show. Once for brunch and once for dinner !! Let's start with brunch.. It was out of this world, staff was friendly and attentive, the hazy ipa was crisp and ice cold, then the tour of the menu kicked off and I was In foodie heaven! I warned the bar tenders I would need some Boxes as I was about to do a dining tour through the menu.. the anchovy toast was #insanegood, the pimento cheese eclair was out of this world, the oysters were fresh, the Benedict was crazy with boudin noir blood sausage crab hollandaise sauce on eclair style muffin! The French omelet with caviar was crazy good it was floating in an amazing sauce and the eggs were perfectly cooked and the caviar was the perfect garnish , the asparagus with poached egg with the sauces it was hanging out in were top notch .. The loyalist burger was fire and I am hard to please on burgers.. the details on everything were impressive all in a casual spot downstairs from the Michelin level concept the chef has !! To finish off the meal one of the best things I have ever had was the pistachio eclair !! WOW WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!! Came Back a few days later for dinner service and did the same thing started out ordering a stack of boxes so I could work my way thru the dinner menu !! The Spence farm egg with caviar app was amazing !! The French onion eclair was another genius chef creation with an eclair, the cod quenelles, the beef Tartare, and endive salad were on point in all the ways .. then came the mains .. ordered the ocean trout and the gnocchi dish as a side kick .. both of those were some of the best dishes I have had .. the skin was so crispy on the trout but not burnt like how did you get this so perfect .. secretes of the kitchen is how .. the preparation and plate up with the trout was nothing short of a perfect pairing and the gnocchi made another side kick but could have been an amazing entree .. then to finish it off the orange 🍊 glazed brioche dessert that was flambéd table side was the perfect ending to a 5 Stars all around memorable Dining experience !! When in Chicago this chef and team is a must try! I will for sure visit their Michelin level experience as this was Michelin level In A causal environment!!“

“We dined at Topaz in August 2024 and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We were seated in a comfortable booth. A special mention goes to our server, Sasa, who was incredibly attentive and provided great suggestions. He even surprised us with complimentary limoncellos, which were absolutely delicious. For appetizers, we had the grilled octopus and hummus—both prepared to perfection and bursting with flavor. For the main course, we chose the Dover sole and Amish chicken. These dishes were exceptional and stood out as some of the best we've ever had. The potatoes served with the sole were also a delightful surprise. Portions were generous, and the prices were quite reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food. We highly recommend Topaz and will definitely be returning!“

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“This is a wonderful little restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the food is good.“

“Food is amazing. Small space inside which is quite loud when it is full which is often. We had a reservation, but when we arrived all the tables were full, so we had to wait. They have sidewalk seating, which is a cute little area with some shade, but along busy Lake street. I returned here several times over the past few months, particularly for the food. “

“Very clean bar. Italian beef sandwich and Sicilian pizza was delicious. Bar staff seems to be very friendly. There is quite a lack of parking at this facility. There was only three people in the bar. Went on a Monday before 4th of July 2024.

I did hear they have karaoke on the weekend so hopefully I'll be able to check that out very soon.

If you have an opportunity I would definitely check out Cuzin's.“

“Crowded bar but loved the atmosphere, wine samples and dinner. Great birthday.“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

“The atmosphere is nice. The food and drinks are delicious and the service was on point.“

“Prasino is an excellent choice for a relaxing Sunday brunch. The menu offers a wide variety of both sweet and savory dishes, making it easy for everyone to find something they'll enjoy. The crepes are a standout, with delicious options whether you're in the mood for something sweet or a more savory meal.

To top it all off, the brunch cocktails pair perfectly with the food and make the experience even more enjoyable. Between the flavorful menu, welcoming atmosphere, and great drink selection, it's a place I'd happily recommend for brunch.“

“The service was good, the place was clean and cozy, the food was very good.“

“We recently visited for my bday on 5/31. The decor is beautiful and the service was stellar! Everyone was attentive and friendly. Our hibachi chef was amazing. He was extremely entertaining and super accommodating. He made our hibachi dinner experience the best we have ever had. The food was perfect and great portion sizes. My son even ordered Spider rolls and said they were amazing! My two teens and 1yr old enjoyed it immensely! Thank you all for the great celebration. We will be back for sure!!! Highly recommend to all!!“

“My Fraternity Brother Anthony Williams and partner Byron Diggs when not bringing great joy as a part of the Our Lady of Our Lady of Africa Parish, Chicago Eucharistic Ensemble have a great Cafe in Maywood right off of I 290. It is called Meal of the Day and has some great southern cuisine in an establishment on the 4th floor of a business complex overlooking I 290. It is appointed with some great art from notable black artists . There is also a banner from Hales Franciscan Class of 1979 , not sure what that’ s all about .. lol! They also do on site catering and have fed the masses after masses at their home church . Check them out ! My fraternity brother has been telling me for years to make the drive and wifey and I finally did and it was so worth it ! .“

Highly recommended for a great drink and even better service“

“took the family here today! food was awesome , place was clean and the server was very friendly! we were very pleased and will be back“

“Did a staycation for NYE and had brunch at South Side Social. The mimosas weren't bad and the buffet was somewhat limited. I want to visit again because their lunch/dinner meal has some appeal. They provide the food for the bar and the pizza and Buffalo shrimp were very good! We had extra cheese on the pizza but it wasn't necessary as the toppings were hearty and tasty. No food pics this time but I do want to revisit.“

“I have never had a problem coming here and the food when I received it has always been good.“
