“We received magnificent 5 star service from Van-Lang Foods! Our delicious appetizers & decadent desserts were a huge hit at our Customer Appreciation Party! Vanessa from Van-Lang Foods made our appetizer and dessert tables so festive and fun! Thank you!“

“Awesome food and nice employees:)“

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

“Outstanding experience!!! Can not say enough about the entire staff from the front of the house to the back. Attentive and friendly. Food was excellent! Made our dining experience special and something we will continue to talk about! Excellent job to the entire team and I can't wait to come back!“

“Absolutely love Vistro! Amazing staff, delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and superb customer service. It never disappoints!“

“Stop in for the first time today and had a blast. Huge shout out to Dave the bartender, his expresso martini is easily one of the best ive had. Friendly service and great drinks. Can't wait to return!“

“Amazingly delicious food and drinks! Our waiter, Colin, is the best and the added bonus is that he looks like Adam Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) on Chicago PD.“

“First the food was actually really great. The Korean ribeye was what I’ve been missing being a California native that’s used to eating Polynesian and Asian food. Pizza, Spinach dip, and the Martinis was not the best but good fruit mixes. Despite a few mix ups my sisters and I enjoyed the place. BIG ovation to the manager on duty Monday evening that listened and addressed the issue promptly. The staff are very professional and I’m looking forward to another visit soon. Great job guys!!!“

“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!“

“I had a last-minute gathering and wanted to make sure I had great food for my guests, so I reached out to Krave Catering. From the moment I sent my inquiry, they were incredibly responsive. They took my order right away and had everything delivered straight to my home.

I was truly blown away by the level of customer service, attention to detail, and overall experience. I’ve catered for larger events before, so I knew what to expect—and Krave exceeded my expectations!

I will absolutely be using Krave as my go-to catering from now on, whether it’s a large event or a small gathering. Their menu has everything and anything I could want to serve, and their eagerness to provide excellent service really stands out.

Thank you, Krave, for making my last-minute gathering so easy and stress-free! ❤ Highly recommend“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“The best octopus we’ve had in a long time. You can definitely tell the chef takes pride in everything he puts out. We were in a rush and they quickly got us in and out and onto our next party with tequila shots. Thank you again for a lovely evening we will definitely be back!“

“Went to the Chicago Waffle House in Willowbrook with friends today Had the best skillet-The Short Rib Skillet- Fantastic with Lavazza coffee not to mention great service. We’ll be back soon“

“If you care about people and food, this is the place. Great food created and served by great people. The folks delivering this experience outperform every time and every day. You can tell ownership cares and takes great pride in excellent food and service!🤩“

“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.“

“Nancy’s place is the best!!!“

“Today was my 1st time there and food was really good. I had an Omelet, Pancakes and Hash with plenty to take home for later. My son enjoyed his food as well. We will definitely be back!💕“

“Food was amazing and came with a great deal! This was the only place that was open so late and we were craving sushi so it was perfect :). The server, Teddy, was absolutely AMAZING and hilarious, and absolutely made my day. I would definitely come again!“

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

“Best Roast Chicken you'll ever have. Unbelievable“

“I loved this place! The Cinnamon Roll Waffles and the Ham and Cheese Omelette were absolutely amazing! The staff was great as well. I will definitely go back when I'm in town again.“

“Our first time there. Food above expectation, good menu variety. Wine & beer selections above average, very good cocktail selection. Generous happy hour(s). We'll be back for sure and add this place to our "regulars" list.“

“The service was quick. Food was delicious. Smoothie was fantastic! Definitely will return.“

“What a lovely restaurant! Great food and drink. I ordered the Chicken Avocado Shrimp and Eggs and Pineapple Paloma! They did not disappoint! My food was filled with flavor and cooked perfectly! The chicken and shrimp were a perfect combo. My drink was perfect, as well. It all worked together for a tasty combination. I will definitely be returning to this hidden gem!!“

“The wife and I went back to the old neighborhood to visit somebody at the hospital driving around we found modern plate. We figure we’d give it a try. There is no doubt in my mind that this place eventually will be a five star restaurant. The food was phenomenal service atmosphere But I will tell you this much. Don’t go there with your good. Looks thinking you’re gonna buy something bring your cash, but it’s well worth it. The wife and I cannot wait to go back to try something else.“

“I love Standard Market's Seeded Rye Bread! It is one of the best rye breads to be found anywhere in the west suburbs. Unfortunately the last two loaves I bought are so very , very salty? I do bake bread myself (not as good as Standard Market's) I am aware of the role of salt, sugar etc. and their proportions, so why this extremely salty version ?“

“We had the best lunch. Our food was tasty and hot, not to mention generously delicious. No wait, great help. Open kitchen. I hope they open one further southwest.“

“I've been here several times in the past and I really love their food selections. However this time the service was not very friendly and the booths are getting to look very shabby. They are stained and need to be reupholstered. Doesn't make me want to go there again any time soon“

“Went here a couple of weeks ago. We played a round of miniature golf which was a blast then stuck around for dinner after. Fun spot!“

“Loud!
My experience was fine. My friend, however, had difficulty finding a meal that wasn't spicy. Spices added to food weren't identified on the menu or listed by the waiter when he provided a description. Despite the complexity of my friend's dietary needs, our waiter and a supervisor were extremely patient and accommodating.“

“Very good service and food!“

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“

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

“This place was amazing! We just so happened to come here and we were amazed! The entire menu looked and tasted amazing! The drink menu was worth every cent. Mike needs to be commended for the service and attitude that he showed us. We loved him!“

“Thank you for help me Dr Zabaza #psychiczabaza“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

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

“The name says it all! How do you convert a modest wedding into a more memorable experience? Have J. Fleming’s cater your event! John provided bar, great food, great service, at a value! Try his restaurant as well!“

“My wife and I watched the bears vs packers game. Great atmosphere and fun time watching the game. However, BOTH bathrooms had issues and one urinal overflowed causing a mess. When the game was over and we left, we were blocked in by someone who made up a parking spot in the back of the lot. Multiple people made up spots all over the lot. When I addressed the issue with the front desk and spoke with the manager, they did nothing and said to call the police. It is not up to the customer to manage your property. I thought it was a joke of a response when a concern was raised.“

“I very much recommend this place to go for dinner! It’s very nice and cool on the inside. Yummy food, great desserts, great staff. 10/10 rating.“

“We took our 11 year old to celebrate his birthday at a restaurant with his name. He had a great time he got to play video games and git to meet the owner who told him his name is also Sebastian. The owner was so nice to my son and us. The food was great, the staff very attentive and very pleasant. Now let me tell you about the desserts they were so amazingly good. The churro cake, the cookie skillet and the warm chocolate brownie that the owner made for the bday boy was all fantastic. We will be coming back soon to try more of their food and drinks. This was our first time here and it definitely will not be our lasr. Thanks again for making it a little more special.“

“Great food, great service, a different game on each television“

“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!!“

“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 ! .“
