“Love this place even though it's pricey. It's for special occasions of which I seem to have plenty! Sat in the bar this time Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately there was a very loud annoying gentleman who had had too much to drink! For and service were great!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“Jessica was an amazing waitress! The food was soooo good! The Elote riblets, the spinach artichoke dip was delicious as well! I had the moody Philly and my friend had a Philly wrap, both were so tasty! The portions are huge too so come hungry! 😋“

“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.“

“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. “

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

“I had a fantastic experience at Kona Grill, and a big part of that was thanks to Ivan. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. He was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly.

Ivan went above and beyond to check in on us without ever being intrusive, and his positive attitude really elevated the whole dining experience. It’s rare to find service that feels this personal and professional at the same time.

If you’re dining at Kona Grill, I highly recommend asking for Ivan...you won’t be disappointed!“

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

“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!🤩“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“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!💕“

“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 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 ?“

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

“Nancy’s place is the best!!!“

“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“

“After a nice night out for dinner with my co-worker we looked for a place to play pool and found this gem! The bartender Richard was a bit overwhelmed, after talking to him we found out it was his first night! I have to say he did a great job, very attentive, professional, and held his own. Over all the atmosphere, service, drink prices, and hospitality was by far on point. I highly recommend this spot.“

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

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

“Thank you for help me Dr Zabaza #psychiczabaza“

“Very good service and food!“

“Good food lots of options, service should be spruced up!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food, excellent service, can’t leave out the music! From Wisconsin, in town to play baseball! We love our old fashions so had to try - amazing. It’s Friday so had to get the walleye- amazing. Fish tacos are a must try! Ask for Kris“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Great atmosphere with a fun, lively energy that makes it an enjoyable place to relax, eat, and spend time with friends or family. The service was friendly, and the whole experience felt welcoming.

My personal favorite is the ribs—make sure to order them dry. They have great smoky flavor and a delicious bark without being covered in sauce.“

“the salad is great my fevorite is the Greek salad“
