“I’ve been to this location many times for lunch and dinner, mostly pick up. The food here is quality is very good, the lunch menu is a great deal as seen on photo, the portion is great. Compliments to the Chef and all of the hard working staff! I recommend getting the jalapeño fried rice ! It is amazing!Parking: Parking lot on side of building“
“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.“
“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.“
“My absolute favorite tiki spot in Chicago. This is a place I always come no matter how long I'm visiting Chicago.Atmosphere: It's so fun, feels very tiki like and tropic. Even the staffs uniform fits so perfectly with the theme.Drinks: LOVE LOVE most of the drinks on the menu. I'm a huge tiki fan and a bit of a snob when it comes to the drinks but this place always gets it right. My favorite drink will always be Three Dots and a Dash.Food: We got the veggie curry and spring rolls. The curry was really good and kind of on the spicy side. Note, it's a pretty big bowl of curry so could even be shared. The spring roll filling was delicious, the roll itself was a bit more oily than other ones I've had.Prices are fairly reasonable considering the amount of food and drink you get.“
“Truly enjoyed the Puttery experience! We came in on a Saturday during St. Patrick’s day weekend. Fortunately, Ryan advised us to come during a time in which we can enjoy the game and the ambiance.The restaurant/bar area on the 2nd floor was great for eating and obtaining our amazing drinks. They have some of the best mixed drinks in West Loop! The BBQ on Saturday Night was my favorite. We took our drinks to the 3rd floor in the lounge/bar to have a nice, cozy conversation before the game. The patio had some great views of West Loop.We took to the holes when we were all warmed up for our mini golf session. Although the 3rd floor course had flatter and more adventurous areas, the 2nd floor course was more intimate and challenging. There can only be up to 4 people in a traveling group though. My date and I ended up having a fun time.I want to thank Ryan, the manager, for helping to make this a memorable experience. We will be back soon with friends.“
“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!“
“My husband and I loved this place. Everything was on point from the quality of the food. The precision of the handcrafted cocktails the ambience, jazz music and the owners hands-on management.We cannot wait to return. It has everything we love about Chicago.“
“Loved, loved everything about Bar Mar! From the inventive and excellent food and drinks to the ambience & the fun vibe, topped off with the attentive staff this all added up to the wonderful dining experience! Plus, the amazing humanitarian & owner, Jose Andres got it right with Bar Mar. Nice to support good people.“
“We had drinks in The Aldermen portion. The drinks were incredible. Best gin and tonic I’ve ever had. Lance was running the show that night. We told him what we liked, and he nailed it. I would seriously put Lance as one of the best bartenders in the world. Yes, we will be back. Sad thing is, when I go other places, they won’t compare. The Pilsen Yards space looked fun, and did have great outdoor space. Another one of Chicago’s great neighborhoods to explore.“
“I have to say, best Beef Rib of my life so far. And also the stuffed sausage , the Brisket, the Ribs, the Pork Belly. Everything was FIRE. Big up for the guys at the desk, friendly and guiding you to have a great experience. And the sides? The Broccoli salad is something I want to import in Italy ❤️ . Great Beer selection btw. You guys deserve every star of this review and even more . Love from Italy ??“
“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.“
“We had excellent food and excellent service tonight at Shaw's Crab House. We chose to sit on the casual side of the restaurant, which meant no white table cloths but the menu was still the same. My Life's a Peach cocktail was tasty, as was the gumbo. My husband and I shared the Shaw's seafood platter, which was delicious. I will definitely be back. 5 stars all around.“
“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.“
“The food was innovative, unique, delicious, and worth the culinary experience. Our servers were up on all the dishes and gave a taste temping explanation of each dish we ordered. Highly recommend S.K.Y. Staff was welcoming and made our dining pleasure feel very special.“
“Gotta kick this off with kudos to Eduardo, an amazing staff member at this establishment. He helped curate both my drink and menu selections for the night, was super knowledgeable and attentive throughout. I ordered the pineapple aquachiles, roasted oysters and lamb neck birria. All were very tasty, however the lamb birria was life changing. Will definitely be returning for another round soon.“
“First time I took my wife to the solaso restaurant the food we ordered was the tacos the tripas cochinita pibil tacos in the onion with the lime all delicious and also we ordered the the drinks and a dessert that that churros what the topping a chocolate in ice cream I'm very recommend this restaurant definitely definitely a back again and waitress Lezly very good ???“
“Go for the food. Stay for the wine! A classy room w/soft pleasing relaxing lines. The Chef is stellar and has been providing Chicago diners with excellent choices thru his career. This Italian food prepared as in Italy. Highly recommend Gioia.“
“This hidden gem is exactly that. Under Moon Palace is my new favorite speakeasy. With a wide array of cocktails of all your favorite Liquors and a knowledgeable staff to help guide your decisions, Nine Bar is a perfect spot to enjoy with friends or a date night. The prices are very reasonable with $13-15 per drink but my favorite is Malort shots for $6. The dim lighting and music you can vibe to are a perfect storm for drink any dy of the week. Highly recommend... Or don't go and I can enjoy all to myself! ?“
“I went to La Josie during restaurant week and I was pleasantly surprised. My server was very nice and gave good insight on the restaurant week dishes: The tamale was PERFECT, a tad bit spicy but flavorful. I'm not sure if that is on the regular menu but it definitely should be. The churro cheesecake was amazing and melted in my mouth. The burrito was mediocre however, I was so impressed by everything else it didn't bother me much.“
“Amazing cocktail bar with great ambiance and drinks! Amazing mixologist at the bar - Matt was very passionate and knowledgeable about his cocktails. We had 6 different cocktails total and all were delicious. The winners for me:- Lost Explorer: if you like mezcal!- Purple Pisco Sour: a little sweeter but the maracuya foam is delish!“
“I’ve been here many times and have always had good food and good service. The menu changes based on the seasons though a few options are always on the menu. I’ve never had a bad meal here. The duck is very good, but they have excellent fish and vegetarian options. Once, service was slow, and they comped us a pasta they brought to us while we waited for what we had ordered and the dessert we ordered at the end. Which brings me to the other positive of Duck Inn and that’s the service. I’ve never had bad service here. The Duck Inn is a special place and reflects well on the Chicago food scene.“
“Really great lunch place!! Convenient location in the West Loop. The sandwiches are fresh and delicious. We tired the pastrami, the Rueben and the burger. Super impressed with all of them, but the pastrami was my favorite. We also really liked the house made chips. Definitely looking forward to trying the bagels for breakfast next time!“
“The food and staff were amazing! Such a friendly staff who were extremely welcoming and attentive. I have never ordered ‘seconds’ at a restaurant until today! The tostadas were out of this world and the shrimp taco was delicious. A must try!“
“I've come here twice with a few people and each time we had a pleasant experience. I got an old fashion that was prepared nicely and was tasty. We've gotten the flatbread pizzas every time, and they are a great value for the amount of flavor. If you're looking for a nice restaurant with good views and food, this is a good option.“
“Great restaurant for a girl's night, date night, out small group outing! The food was great and so were the drinks. I had the ribeye, which was cooked perfectly and incredibly reasonably priced. I love that we didn't feel rushed to leave after we ate our food. We talked for hours and even got free shots when the waiter had to leave and dropped off the check "early". He was really kind and thoughtful. I'm excited to try different menu items here. + they accept reservations“
“Lola’s Restaurant and Bar is easy to find and sits just off Randolph St. in the West Loop (we definitely appreciated avoiding the congestion on Randolph on a Friday night!) The statement-blue “Lola’s” awnings on the front of the building are easy to identify. Surprisingly, there is plenty of inexpensive street parking right on Carpenter St. through the ParkChicago app.Upon entering the restaurant, we peeked through a luxe red velvet curtain and arrived to the artful setting, exposed brick walls, upbeat tempo of atmospheric music, and welcoming face of our hostess. She quickly seated 5 of us at a spacious table whilst my husband fiddled with his parking app. It just so happened that the owners of Lola’s were sitting by the entrance when we arrived, when one of the most amazing displays of hospitality occurred! The credit card associated with my husband’s parking app had expired, so he was quickly trying to update his payment profile when one of the owners came right up to him and said, “I’ll take care of that” and dashed outside to read our license plate and pay for the parking personally on his own app! What a welcoming!Upon being seated, we were offered our choice of beverages. While most in our group ordered from the extensive selection of sparkling and other wines, I was intrigued with the variety of “zero proof” beverages (that can be spiked upon request). I highly recommend the Tropical Turmeric & Ginger Old Fashioned. The fresh ingredients are amazing, including the giant, square orange blossom ice cube that gives the drink a warm orange glow and mild sweetness that balances out the tangy turmeric and ginger flavors.This is actually about the fourth or fifth time I’ve dined at Lola’s, and the main thing that keeps me coming back is the quality and freshness of the food. The menu has something for everyone. Although I’m not a strict vegetarian, I can attest that there are plenty of options for those who don’t eat meat, chicken, or fish. Bar none, my favorite thing on the menu is the Crispy Brussels & Sweet Potatoes, which melt in your mouth! Our table also enjoyed the Greek Chicken Skewers, which were surrounded by scrumptious home-made hummus that we all scooped up with the tasty, crisp, seeded crackers that accompanied this appetizer. The House Meatballs were also a hit—again, surrounded by a delicious marinara and served with large pieces of grilled bread for dipping.For dinner I ordered Lola’s Salad with grilled chicken. It was a decadent portion filled with unexpected surprises like fresh cherry tomatoes, toasted sunflower seeds, garbanzo beans, tidbits of spicy genoa salami, and zingy pickled peppers. I will be coming back for this one, which is a great choice for lunch or dinner. Definitely don’t skip the fresh parmesan on top!Although we were satiated by all the great food, we couldn’t resist the dessert menu. We gleefully shared a giant, warm chocolate chip cookie served in a dinnerplate-sized cast iron pan, topped with a cool scoop of fresh vanilla ice cream. Our server did not disappoint by having individual plates, spoons, and even extra napkins at the ready!All in all, Lola's is a great experience and an excellent value. Some of us brought our extra food home--I'm looking forward to leftovers and adding it to my favorites on Uber Eats!Vegetarian options: Fabulous selection of vegetarian dips, including spinach & artichoke and home-made hummus. DO NOT SKIP the Crispy Brussels & Sweet Potatoes! Also great pasta and salad choices.Parking: I've never had a problem finding parking within 1 block of the restaurant.“
“We went back to Citrine for pre-concert eats on our way to Chicago. This is a Mediterranean-type restaurant. Cocktails are good, food is good. Service is impeccable. Our server this visit was Theo, and he was attentive and friendly. The other staff from the young woman who sat us to the guys who delivered food and cleared the table were attentive and always gave us a smile. My husband and I started out with a glass of wine and a cocktail. We decided once again to share small plates together. We had the New York strip steak tartare. It's absolutely fabulous so we had to have it again. Fresh steak with a raw egg on top that oozes into the steak as you break it, it's perfection. We also got the homemade lepinja bread served warm with a couple spreads. I can't eat nuts or seeds and it came out covered with sesame seeds. No problem, Theo was more than happy to take it back and have bread made just for me without seeds. That's great service. We then shared the roasted beet salad which had arugula, goat cheese, avocado, and orange. It was a very small salad for the price of $14. Having said that, the salad was fresh and I liked the different textures, but it was the size of a small side salad and not worth the price. I would pass on this my next visit. The final dish we shared was the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were large and grilled perfectly, the grits were creamy. This dish was packed with flavor and some heat. Delicious. Citrine accepts reservations and parking is paid street parking. I definitely recommend this restaurant and you must try the steak tartare. So damn delicious!“
“Great place to start my St Patrick's Day. Perfect location - I saw the Chicago River turned green while upstairs.The staff was very cool and well-prepared for the rapidly increasing number of bar hoppers like myself.Darts booths can be reserved, but there are also first-come-first-serve boards available on the first level. I will definitely be back next time I visit Chicago.“
“Our server Santana was great, we were there for brunch and we were looking forward to some hot coffee (which they do not serve), but Santana made us some hot coffee even though it was not on the menu to welcome us. He was great in making sure that we had everything! Would go back just to have him as a server again, the food was delicious, maybe they could include hot coffee on their menu in the future.“
“I think I ordered tofu kimchi, bossam, and tripe hotpot. It tastes impeccably great. It's perfect for a glass of soju during a business trip.There are staff who can speak Korean and are friendly.I remember that local customers were eating a lot of gamjatang.I was a little lost because I couldn't find the entrance. I barely found the entrance to the strange basement and was scared going down the stairs, but once I got inside, it was a whole new world haha. It would be nice to know in more detail how to get there.“
“Fantastic steak restaurant in River North! It’s definitely on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. The restaurant is beautiful with fun lighting and some of the best service I’ve had at a restaurant. We got recommendations from the waiter and tried the house made pasta as an appetizer, which was a fantastic choice! I got the filet mignon which was delicious and the Mac and cheese as a side. The steaks come without sides so make sure to order some sides which are definitely shareable portions. We got the crème brûlée for dessert and the staff brought up some fun cotton candy since we were celebrating. Overall, it was such a great experience for a special event!“
“Since moving to Cicero in 2020 this has been our spot. Food is always on point, service is super friendly and they have an outdoor patio that we can bring our pup pup.Vegetarian options: There's always something vegan or vegetarian friendly.“
“A Chicago institution. If you don't like Maria's then you probably don't like Chicago. That's fine, but why u here? Maria's is a great place to chill with a cold one. They don't have a huge tap list,but they do have a nicely curated mix of local brews. They also have old standbys like Old Style and PBR. Even on a Sunday afternoon they had good music playing. Maria's feels like home. Thats Chicago.“
“visiting chicago from LA and this place is a MUST. please do yourself a favor and come down. fantastic service, food, and ambience. yuzu marg was also amazing. splitting the tab with my big group was also accommodated easily. Sonjanae was extremely kind and accommodating. Best server I’ve had in a while:)“

“I recently dined at ROOH Chicago, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience that deserves a solid 5-star review! From the delectable food to the inviting ambiance, exceptional service, and perfect location, ROOH Chicago has it all. Let's start with the food. The culinary journey at ROOH is nothing short of exceptional. I kicked off my meal with the Pink City cocktail, which was a perfect blend of unique flavors and a great way to start the evening. The Chili Cheese Kulcha was a delightful appetizer that packed a flavorful punch, and the Sweet Potato Chaat was a wonderful explosion of textures and tastes. For the main course, the Bagara Baingan and the Bengali Lamb Shank truly stole the show. The Bagara Baingan was a flavorful vegetarian delight, while the Bengali Lamb Shank was fall-off-the-bone tender and rich in aromatic spices. These dishes showcased the diversity and depth of Indian cuisine. The saffron cheesecake for dessert was the perfect ending to an already outstanding meal. Its subtle saffron undertones and velvety texture left me craving more. The ambiance at ROOH is something to behold. The interior design is modern, yet it maintains a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant is beautifully lit, creating a warm and welcoming environment that's perfect for a romantic dinner or a get-together with friends. The vibe at ROOH is trendy and sophisticated, making it a great place for special occasions or just a memorable night out. It strikes the right balance between elegance and comfort, making you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. Service at ROOH Chicago is top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely courteous. They guided us through the menu, making excellent recommendations and ensuring our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. The location of ROOH Chicago is also a plus. Situated in the heart of the city, it's convenient and easy to access, making it an ideal spot for locals and visitors alike. In conclusion, ROOH Chicago is a gem in the city's culinary scene. The food is exceptional, the ambiance is delightful, the vibe is chic, the service is impeccable, and the location is prime. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience that combines the best of Indian cuisine and modern elegance, ROOH Chicago is the place to be. I can't wait to return and savor their incredible dishes once again!“
“The omakaze experience was phenomenal. The chef and his assistants were all extremely personable, the food was exquisite, and the night was overall amazing. A bit on the spendy side after drink pairing and restaurant-added 20% gratuity (which I'd have given anyway, but perhaps one of the few occasions I'd forgive auto-adding such is for Omakaze given the limited seating) but no regrets, it truly was a delight, just one to be saved for special occasions. Their preparation of taking (octopus) sashimi may be the best I've ever had, and everything was just melt in your mouth. Totally would go back.“
“Last Friday, my team and I had the pleasure of dining at Maya Del Sol, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible service we received. After a long day of meetings, we were looking forward to unwinding and enjoying some good food, and Maya Del Sol exceeded our expectations. We had a party of about 22 people, which can be quite challenging for any restaurant to handle, but the staff at Maya Del Sol handled it with grace and efficiency. Our server, Erin, deserves special recognition for her outstanding service. She was attentive, fast, and incredibly patient with our large group. It's not easy to cater to the needs of 22 people, but Erin did it flawlessly and with a smile on her face. I have no doubt that Erin went home exhausted after serving us, but her exceptional customer service truly made our dining experience unforgettable. Thank you, Erin and the rest of the Maya Del Sol team, for your hard work and dedication. We will definitely be back for more delicious food and fantastic service!“
“vibes were vibin' and the music was bumpin' all while I got drunk drinking a delicious cocktail and told my entire life story, in all its naursty detail, to my coworker. we then walked to the Chiu Quon next door but they were out of most things cuz it was 9:30, then we went to miniso and I bought a cute watermelon duck plushie, then we went to Mango Mango and got Durian dessert and tried going to Ping Tom park to eat it but got kicked out by the scummy park police (ACAB). anyways, bar was great, 10/10“
“I love this place I have come here twice on special occasions but today I came in hoping there was seating available with no appointment. And yes they do!! We had amazing food and drinks and had a great time with wonderful views of the river. I recommend!!“
“Can't say enough about this wonderful place. The food is some of the best even against the great Mexican food in Chicago. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love that exists. Drinks are some of the best I've had and the creativity is second to none. My wife and I really enjoy coming here trust me, when you're here you're family. Gracias“
“We dined here last night before going to a show. Aric, our amazing server came to the table and right away asked “are you going to theatre tonight” we told him yes at 8. He took it upon himself to keep our dinner rolling at a nice pace while keeping us on schedule. The food was fantastic! The service was phenomenal!! Thanks Aric, we will be back :)“
“I just want to start by saying this is my first time in the city and I decided to take a leap of faith coming out alone. I had a fabulous dinner at The Hampton Social. Our serving suggested we check out the bar in the lower level called Basement. The entrance is on the side of the building kind of a hidden gem. Micheal and Effy took care of myself and my friend. To my surprise they had amazing LIVE music!! I will definitely be coming back and bringing all my friends! Thank you Effy for taking care of us!“
“Pros: Cons:1) Food 1) Wait time for food2) Drink3) ServerThe food was fabulous. The draft beer (Revolution Eugene Porter) was great. Our server (Sierra) was friendly and attentive. We before noon, and the customers kept coming in, so this is definitely a desired eatery. Located on the first floor. Outdoor seating is available on our visit: 13 Apr 2024Kid-friendliness: There is a kid menu.Wheelchair accessibility: Entryway is not handicapped accessible.“
“Came here for a private party event on a Sunday afternoon. Space is really nice and chair, tables and other seats were nice. They played good music and had two large t.v.s playing different games for people at the bar. The drinks were well made, but with so many people, they definitely needed more than just two people. But it was nice to have a small sitting area outside in the back as well.“
“Oh my gosh!! This is the most amazing place ever. We had fantastic service, fantastic food and such a wonderful time. The food just goes beyond words. I can’t even describe how delicious it is. If you want to have an incredible dining experience, you need to stop in. Our waiter was Don and he did an absolutely perfect job. The hostess greeted us immediately with a pleasant smile and a very polite and professional attitude. Our waiter Don was Very attentive to our needs and very knowledgeable about the specials and everything on the menu. I can’t say enough about our experience. What a reward. Thank you to the family for having such a great place. A+ all across the board!!!!“
“This was my first visit here. To begin with, the atmosphere has a dark vibe and seems a little more upscale. Also, they have a great variety of drinks and they are strong and mixed well. Lastly, the service is alright and it was a little slow. Overall, a great atmosphere and drinks!Photos below:1. Mojito2. Clover Club, I think that's what it's called3. Bar viewParking: I would recommend using SpotHero“
“Taste 222 is your go to happy hour spot! Everything on the menu is so good and the portions are a nice size ! The atmosphere and service was a 10/10. Everything is super affordable, and the vibe is super low key if that’s what you’re looking for! Highly recommend trying this spot out !“
“We absolutely adored the service! Waiter Rudy was absolutely fantastic, he had us in stitches, and the entire team was just as wonderful; they were incredibly friendly and attentive to all our needs throughout the entire evening. We had such a delightful dinner experience. Plus, the cocktails were absolutely breathtaking; my aunt couldn't get enough of the Manhattan! We're definitely planning to come back again soon“
“Wow. In one word, wow. I have had the best meal of my life ever tonight. I would be okay if that was my final meal. I could eat the same thing for forever and not get bored of it. Everything was so well prepared and the staff was so kind and informative. The atmosphere was super beautiful and just overall contributed to the chill/intimate mood.“
“I haven't been here in a while to do a full on second review. This place has definitely upgraded from the dingey mess it once was. The have all new flooring. They painted the walls. Really nice TVs. They even have a fireplace display for crying out loud. If you're having an overflow of cars just park across the street which is really niceRick's Kitchen is definitely the best bar food around. I definitely recommend it. Pool table is really great and fun to play with as well... The locals I guess are alright for the most part. On top of it it's got cheap drinks. This place was much better when they had bingo nights here on Mondays. Definite recommend none the less. Oh hey, I forgot, they also got alot machines, tens of TVs which usually play sports.“
