“I stumbled upon the Martini Room while searching for "date night" in Google Maps, and let me tell you, this place exceeded all expectations!

We arrived at 5 PM and had the entire place to ourselves—a rare gem. The ambiance was spot on with its intimate lighting and well-thought-out furniture arrangement, making it ideal for cozy conversation.

The drinks were nothing short of perfect! Each sip was a delightful balance, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine without being overpowered by alcohol. It’s a treat to experience well-crafted cocktails that tantalize the taste buds.

What makes this place even more appealing is the "bring your own food" policy. With a plethora of great dining options nearby, we had the freedom to pair our drinks with our favorite eats.

Whether it’s your first date or the hundredth, the Martini Room is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend! 🍸❤️“

“Andrew was amazing. The food was incredible, service was great, the atmosphere was warm, happy, festive, and saw a lot of locals. Friends... Get here soon! The prices are FANTASTIC! There's only one huge problem... Huge... The name on the building is what they specialize in and not the actual name of the restaurant. The big bold signage says "taco Tequila" but their name is EL Pato LoCo. Attention Owners: eather consider changing the name on the building or changing the name of the restaurant. This is an amazing place to dine at. You're not doing yourself any favors by advertising the wrong verbage! Thanks again Andrew for a great dinning experience. -David Gaffke Proud Owner of Complete Bridal-Bridal Boys“

“I’ve eaten at Bleuroot twice when traveling through Chicago for hockey trips. Every bite has been phenomenal and there have been many “Oh you’ve got to try this” shared plates. The staff are amazing and this is a place where it’s okay to be loud and boisterous and joyful. Thanks to Maria and the crew for a great experience (and excellent customer service mailing me back a pair of prescription sunglasses I left on the table!). Looking forward to a third visit in November!“
