“Great dairy free options!“

“Great place! Our party of 5 bellied up to the bar and had a great time. Jim our server and Scott the bartender made some great recommendations on drinks and apps. Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“

“Great pizza, quick friendly service in a nice Chicago themed restaurant.

We hadn't been to Georgio's in a while and decided to head there for pizza. The only reason we hadn't been here is that we have other options that are closer to home. Everything was so good that we will be making this trip more often.“

“Jude’s offers small plates perfect for sharing with friends. The food choices are plentiful and reflect different culinary choices so they offer things you can’t get elsewhere in CL. The environment is warm and welcoming. Staff provide service that makes sure the experience is a good one.“

“EVERYTHING ☆☆☆☆☆+ and more!“

“Stopped here for my first time ever by using the Too Good To Go app and was surprised to see all of delicious options they have. I will definitely be going back to try out their salads. I got the Waldorf chicken salad wrap and it was delicious.“

“Always fresh and creative food at Duke’s, love their focus on local products and community!! Highly recommend!!“

“We came here on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025, for the first time in several years. It was a great experience! I was skeptical at first but I cannot recommend the show at the hibachi grills and the atmosphere enough. Although expensive, the filet mignon was so good! I really enjoyed my time at Kyoto and hope to be back at some point again in the future! Only small note is that it’s pretty busy even on Wednesday nights so it was a long dinner. (Written 10-3-25)“

“The cupcakes are creative and delicious! I like the carrot cake one with bunny ears, and the one with pink buttercream and the Cheshire cat grin.“

“The food was great! It was served quickly and was hot. The proportions were the right size.
Our server was very polite, friendly, and was very attentive to all her tables. She really made us feel welcome. She even offered coffees to go. She alone made a big positive difference in our visit.
The atmosphere was pleasant as well. The acoustics and lightning were perfect.
We will visit again. 😀“

“Our go-to Thai/Asian restaurant for almost 15 years. Large menu selection; the best soups, curries and Asian tapas to be found in the area. Full bar with delicious cocktail selection. Good size portions for dinner. $11 lunch plates are a real deal. The atmosphere is very traditional and welcoming plus with abundant parking.“

“Was my first time eating sushi and was delicious, I am sure I will go there again, The service was excellent,“

“Always great service and excellent food! The pizza is the best!“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“We met my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters for lunch. My daughter-in-law arrived before us and said that Ethan had pulled together a table for our group, adjusted the blinds as it was warm in there and offered some broken cookies for the kids as they couldn't be sold. Another gentleman came and cleared some plates. The staff couldn't have been nicer. We enjoyed our lunch.“
