“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“Absolutely Perfect Night at Oliver's

Everything about our experience at Oliver's was amazing and absolutely worth it. Here’s what stood out:

Drinks: The Oliver’s Martini is an absolute must-try – and trust me, upgrading to the caviar olives is a game changer. The Espresso Martini was another standout, and the Old Fashioned was perfectly crafted.

Food: Every bite was a delight. The bread and crispy artichokes were the perfect start. For mains, the scallops and burger were nothing short of top tier – flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely satisfying.

Dessert: We couldn’t resist diving into two options – the Key Lime Cheesecake and the Salted Caramel. Both were exceptional, and we’re already looking forward to trying more on our next visit.

In summary, Oliver’s delivered on every level – incredible drinks, standout dishes, and desserts that leave you wanting more. We can’t wait to return!“

“I'm from Iowa, took a little weekend trip to Chicago. A friend told us we HAD to try Lula's. SO thankful we did. I will be traveling back to Chicago just to take my mom here. Outstanding service from every single employee, incredible food, and just overall 10/10. Absolutely recommend.“

“Stumbled upon this place after Rare Day 2024 since I SpotHero’d in their lot for this craft beer festival.

And this place was packed and the ambiance is amazing.

Enjoyed an Old Fashion; however, the hummus and griddle cake app was probably the best thing I have eaten in years.

I will definitely have to stop in for a proper meal with an update. Staff was friendly and accomodating to a “walk-in”.“

“We had an excellent experience. Service was exceptional. Food was well timed and delicious. Ordered Garlic Knots, baked mozzarella, arrancini, Caesar salad, bolognese, veal parm, pizza, shrimp scampi, tiramisu.

Everything was super delicious. Portions were large. We took home leftovers. I would definitely come back. Did not get pics of everything. Atmosphere was lovely and perfect for date night but casual enough that my family felt welcome for an early dinner. I especially loved that they fry their chicken/veal parms in a separate fryer and the flavor is amazing.“

“Menu is versatile and delivers whether you’re going for a quick lunch or a nice dinner. Pork is the specialty and I vouch. I don’t order tenderloins at restaurants typically but this is probably the best I’ve had — perfectly cooked and a great dish overall. Not among the top echelon of Michelin restaurants ive been to, but not far behind.“

“Incredible. I'm basically agoraphobic but the service and food was worth every minute. My partner considered the wagyu beef to be overpriced but I TRULY believe every bite was next level. Sampled all the apps and small plates- ceviche, perfect. Fish, perfect. Pao de quicho, perfect. The staff were kind, attentive, friendly, but also not in your face. 10/10“

“Wonderful evening! We had an amazing dinner & dessert with attentive service with care.“

“I had the mac and cheese with the steak on top absolutely divine🤍“

“Amazing, a perfect evening.“

“Had an amazing experience, sat outside on a nice night. Apps were amazing, main courses, cocktails and even dessert were all delicious. I'm not going to lie I don't like duck and was apprehensive but it was all delicious. Probably the best French dip sandwich I've ever had too. 10/10“

“Great place! The farmers market was a bonus! Enjoyed the exhibits , Calder was an inspiration in my youth! Lunch was superb! To bad we live in Virginia Beach or I would be a regular!“

“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.“

“Great for private events! Very accommodating, kind and attentive staff, delicious brunch buffet option! Recommend strongly. We hosted my sister’s bridal shower here, and it was perfect!“

“We had a fair experience at Lilac Tiger. Went in on a Friday night and were seated fairly quickly. My cocktail was great. My friend's, not so much. We ordered the vada pav and the chettinad paneer curry. My friend also got mussels. Everything was alright. Very few vegetarian options and the ones we ordered were okay. Service was a little spotty. The hostess who greeted and seated us was very professional and was amazing.
We weren't super impressed but the place is worth checking out and we will definitely want to give it another try.“

“Run don’t walk to John’s. This place has been on my list for quite some time and I finally had a chance to try their tasting menu and they didn’t miss on any dish. The food was creative without being pretentious and the team’s service was exceptional. A well deserved nod on the Michelin guide that is no doubt headed for higher praise in the near future.“

“We’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.“

“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!“

“Good ambient service not so good“

“The food is excellent. Drinks awesome.“

“Exquisite food, excellent service and a great chill vibe... We so enjoyed every bite of gastronomic deliciousness! Standout dishes were à la mode, a teeny apple tart atop foie gras ice cream and sablefish, served with a rhubarb puree. I'm leaving out several ingredients because there were so many, it was such a diverse menu all around. Thank you so much to everyone at Schwa for the outstanding meal!“

“Great variety and unique flavors. Great vibe.“

“Great food and ambience! Can’t wait to come back! 👍“

“Had our holiday celebration and had an extraordinary experience - great food and excellent service.“

“I love this American restaurant, the food is delicious, satisfying and enjoyable. I especially love the burgers and fries, they are freshly made and very authentic. In addition, the environment here is also very comfortable and spacious, which makes people feel very relaxed and happy. The waiters are also very friendly and welcoming, they always greet guests with a smile and provide many useful tips and recommendations. All in all, this is a very good American restaurant and I will come here often to enjoy the food and time.“

“I had an amazing experience for it being my first time at RH. I was a solo diner and had a super nice server who didn't treat me awkwardly, which was refreshing. I would definitely come eat here again! Thank you for a great experience!“

“Great spot for food

I went to Krave Restaurant in Bridgeview last week and really liked it the staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. The place is cozy and easy to feel comfortable

We had the Lamb Chops & Eggs and it was really good the lamb was tasty and eggs cooked just right. Also tried the waffles they were light and fluffy with bacon and eggs really hit the spot. Portions are big so you leave full

Overall a nice place good food good people I will come back for sure“

“Everything is delicious.“

“Initially we had a few issues. The room wasn’t ready and the kids were fussy and tired but the hotel gave us free deserts in the restaurant Adorn. They were amazing. The customer service was excellent. We finally got to our beautiful room with spectacular views and were very happy but the kids stuff that we requested wasn’t there. They again made up for it and went over and beyond. The kids loved getting an ice cream party, robes and treats. Four Seasons is an outstanding hotel. We will definitely be back. We’ve been home for 2 days and the kids already want to go back!“

“A very creative kitchen serves up surprising dishes in every course, even dessert, where many restaurants just go through the motions. They also serve up cocktails that you are not likely to see anywhere else. What comes as no surprise, is that they are a Michelin starred restaurant.“

“Went with my daughter and her bestie for brunch.. cute place, my food was really good(avocado toast) and they enjoyed their food and the endless mimosas.. friendly staff,relaxed atmosphere , overall pleasant experience for us😊“

“10/10 experience with Eddie! Had a birthday event for some friends and he was super helpful and accommodating! Definitely would recommend this place! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Loved the shrimp cocktail! The patio is romantic! My ribeye was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The whipped potatoes are delicious. The staff is attentive. My husband enjoyed his grits. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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“

“I had one of the best dinner experiences ever, the food was outstanding but the service was extra special. We will be back! Congratulations“

“Celebrated our son's birthday on the river with you all Friday night. Top shelf experience! The food, the service, the setting......amazing all around. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We have a new place to celebrate family milestones.“

“Very attentive to my food restrictions and staff was so welcoming“

“Good food. Large place so plenty of seating. 2 bars. Server claimed they were “changing” things so the Happy Hour was 3-5. All sign’s said 3-6. Ok….. he was a bit slow too but it was convenient cuz our hotel was across the street.“

“excelente servicio. ambiente agradable“

“Gilt Bar "gets it". A foodies playground. Top notch flavor and beautiful decor throughout. The Ron Zacapa 23 Rum is 🤌🏾 Oh, and don't forget to take a few pics in the photo booth downstairs 📸“

“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!!“

“Great food, family friendly!“
