“Worth the wait and must try! Beautiful and unique venue in the unassuming town of Des Plaines. Our server was kind and welcoming, food was delicious, drinks were fun and tasty. The only two items that were less than ideal, the horrible acoustics (incredibly loud) and although it was too on my list to try, the chicken shawarma rolls were underwhelming. Even with those two items, the great service and food quality it's still worth the 5 star review. We sat upstairs, which very much appreciated, being out of the hustle and bustle of the downstairs. Looking forward to trying the brunch and the outside patio... overlooking the water.“
“Such a memorable night out with outstanding food cooked to perfection, smooth service, attentive and kind staff, and lovely atmosphere. Angie, our server, couldn’t have done any better. It was 10/10 from start to finish. So kind, so attentive with our two birthdays, and so warm and personable. She made sure we had everything we needed and represented the face of the restaurant in an excellent way, letting us know about events coming up. Angie, thank you so much! You made us feel so special!“
“Food was very well prepared. Some flavors here that you can only get here. Very good wine list. Importantly, the "buzz-free" drinks were fantastic! The service was not rushed, which was nice for our party. We had a delightful time.“
“Awesome steakhouse in Rivers casino! We love Gibson's/Hugo's downtown, so it's always fun to go to this location at the casino. Steak, salads, cocktails, wine, desserts, all amazing! Service is great and the manager always seems to be around and checking in with tables. Always a fantastic experience“

“3.5 stars, but rounded up. Went here for dinner and ordered the 3 tacos with the rice and beans. I ordered the el pastor, beef taco and the chicken taco. My fav was def the el pastor taco. It was delicious. Chicken taco was decent, but I wasn't too crazy about the beef taco.“
“If you want true Italian cooking and a friendly atmosphere, then Mangia Napoli is the place. I cannot express enough how great the food is! Thank you to Fonz, Eddie & Vinnie for the excellence in food. Fonz the Zuppa you prepared for our anniversary was beyond excellent! Many thanks“
“Sherard and Stephanie are the best. They alone are a reason to go and enjoy the great food and atmosphere this place creates. But if you do go, you must try their New York strip steak, delicious and cooked to perfection along with their truffle fries. Their cocktails are also very good, strong. It is an expensive experience but it's a worthwhile one.“
“I haven't been to Bob Chinns in awhile. It was awesome then and AWESOME NOW! WE had the vermicelli, Halibut, Mai Tai, cheesecake and it was ALL FABULOUS! Mario (Server) was GREAT. Mario was knowledgeable, patience, pleasant and professional. Mario was very knowledgeable of Gluten-free ans dietary restrictions. Keep up rhe AWESOME GOOD WORK MARIO! Bob Chinn is worth the drive to Wheeling!Dietary restrictions: Limited Gluten-free options.“
“This place offers an elevated seafood dining experience with superior ingredients, precise execution, and classic presentation. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a classy and warm atmosphere, with stylish furnishing and subtle nautical touches that evoke coastal elegance. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the lighting carefully highlighting each dish to the backlit menus for easy viewing in the lower light. The scrupulous attention to every aspect of the meal poured over to the flavors and food as well. The meticulous preparation ensured that every dish was beautifully presented, showcasing the freshness and quality of the seafood, making it the ideal place for a romantic dinner or a special celebration with friends and family.? What I Tasted: The raw Yellowfin Tuna appetizer was incredibly fresh, complemented perfectly by creamy avocado and an order of half dozen plump and just enough grinny west coast oysters. For the main course, the buttery and succulent Chilean sea bass was cooked to perfection, nestled on a bed of risotto with a ting of sweet sauce that enhanced its richness. Dessert was a delightful classic crème brûlée, providing a sweet ending to a fantastic dining experience.? Standout Feature: Turlucks excels in the little details that make a big impact. From curated flavor combinations to attentive service and exquisite décor, every aspect of the dining experience is carefully crafted. Things you never would think of, and I never seen before, like the De la paix à la résistance, innovative backlit menus and thoughtfully designed lighting provide ease of viewing in lower light (or older eyes) and most of all elevate the atmosphere and enhance the overall enjoyment of the meal.⚠️ What Was Mid: While Turlucks shines in its seafood offerings, traditional steak and sides are good but may not always meet the same high standard. For the ultimate dining experience, I recommend sticking to their seafood specialties.“
“Very tidy space and welcoming staff made for easy casual lunch while running errands. Kid friendly option if your child likes seafood and rice. Salmon and vegan ingredients fresh, portions generous compared to similar customizable poke bowl shops. I would be inclined to frequent more if seafood was sustainably harvested: no public information shared on that front.Kid-friendliness: Very competitively priced build-your-own kids bowl.“
“The food is good but expensive. However, the sushi rice is usually just old white rice. If I was eating in restaurant, I would send my food back for what I actually ordered, but it's delivered so ?♀️The boba tea is actually even more expensive than listed, because you're required to choose a boba type for an extra $1+. I always order thru UberEats, and delivery is fast and my food is packed well.“
“Our family had a great meal from Surf's Up Lockport. The batter is so good. We had a family meal with perch, shrimp, wings, and fries. Also, got an order of onion rings. Shrimp were huge. My husband and daughter enjoyed the fish. The wings were huge and the batter was tasty! Everything was delicious. We will be back for the lunch specials and to try more sides!!“
“We've been frequenting another great Sushi restaurant in Schaumburg for a while; wanted to try something new for a change.Ambience is modern. Service was great. Food presentation was top-notch, but we felt, it lacked 'flavor'. Something about it - it had all the familiar ingredients and yet something was missing.Prices were reasonable. They have the a-la-carte and all you can eat options. We tried both. They have reduced price for kids' all you can eat option as well....which is nice. I will give it another shot and try some different items.“
“The experience was very pleasant, the service was very good, very attentive, helpful, the food is delicious, the place is clean, beautiful, they have delicious quesadillas and they also had someone playing guitar music.Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere has two spaces“
“We LOVE this restaurant, and will always come back for a fun/delicious night out, but we always seem to have something missing or incorrect with our order. The servers are very nice/accommodating, but it would be preferable to have our orders come out correctly the first time.“
“Excellent service and attention! The delicious mixed ceviche ??? beautiful place! And the prices are affordable ??? You definitely have to visit the place with your familyKid-friendliness: The children's menu is very good, complete and very delicious ?“
“This place is the place to be if you're eating with a big group. Tapas are always such a great way to bond with others and share delicious food -- essentially sharing everything and tasting all sorts of flavors.Lisa was a fantastic server and I would recommend her over and over again.Emilio's Tapas Bar is A MUST GO.“
“Food was great. Traditional Korean food. (Pot stickers was not that great. Very thin)The place itself is very small and they have packed way too many chairs into this place. No elbow space.They would only seat you if your entire party is there. We were 5. But there isn't really a place for us to wait without being right on top of some other diners tables. A bit awkward.“
“AMAZING! I go to restaurants comparing them to Morton’s because l had an amazing time here! Food AMAZING the steak MUAH! the chefs know how to cook! The service was great! The drinks so good and the butter and bread forget about it. The baked potatoes UGH I want more ? this place is the only place that has gotten 10/10 for me 5 stars and I mean it! Can’t wait to go back!“
“We went to this restaurant for a family event. There were nine in our party and because of our party's size, we were seated in the building next to the restaurant. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable and the food was beyond delicious! We had heard good things and everything we heard was true. If you are looking for good Italian food, this is the place to go.“
“I had the most exceptional experience with Venuti's Banquets for my daughter's XV party. From the moment I reached out to inquire about hosting our event there, to the planning process with Ruby, to the actual day of the event, every detail was handled with professionalism and care.Ruby's assistance was invaluable - she made sure to note every little detail, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. The pace of the event was impeccable, the food was absolutely delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The attention we received was truly first class.I was so impressed with the service before, during, and after the event that I am already planning to rebook Venuti's Banquets for my next big party. I highly recommend Venuti's for anyone looking for a top-notch venue with amazing service and a wonderful staff. Thank you for making my daughter's special day even more memorable.“
“I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the kebab with the mixed sauce and I have to say it was delicious. My husband had the lamb and it was also very good. We ordered drinks the passion empress was so good and refreshing. The service was tremendous and the atmosphere was great. I am so glad that we discovered this place what a gem with European food. Simply delicious. Will definitely go back.“
“I was pleasantly surprised by everything; service, food & cost. Will definitely be going back for more. Had skirt steak & eggs with pancakes instead of toast. The cut of skirt steak was proper length, width & thickness. No weird thin cuts here. Also, the pancakes are amazing. The waitress was so friendly & attentive that she is the gold standard & one of the best I've had anywhere, my entire life. Nothing over the top of phoney, just a darn excellent person.“
“I enjoy this restaurant. They have a great bar and make a wonderful old fashioned. Their oysters Rockefeller are out of this world. Best I have ever had and I’ve been to Antoine’s. Crispy chicken wasn’t. It was in a sauce and wasn’t special. Cheesecake Factory has better elote, and Jimmys hotdogs on Grand has better fries. We have had the steaks in the past and they are very good. Yesterday was like eating at a McDonalds playland. The couple seated after me saw where the host was going and said no, they wanted the remote room. I’ll remember that. You can at least have the adults in a quieter area. The service wasn’t great. It took 15 minutes for the waitress to come and get the drink order. Not exaggerating. A group who came after us were served dinner before we got our appetizers. The host came over often but it seemed kind of odd. They couldn’t figure out how to give us separate checks. But I’ll go back and have oysters as an entree or a steak.“
“10/10 experience! Walking in to this restaurant, you can immediately tell you are going to have a great meal. And a great meal we had! It was our server Joshua's first day on the floor and he was rocking it! He was friendly, attentive, and great at recommending dishes. We took his meal recommendation (the meatloaf!) and LOVED it! Our drinks (an old fashioned and manhattan) were strong with wonderful flavor. And the chocolate bundt cake for dessert did not disappoint! We also had the pleasure of interacting with the manager of the restaurant, who was very kind and welcoming when he found out it was our first time visiting! We will definitely be back soon!“
“I was at the restaurant yesterday Valentines Day and sat at the bar. I had the Mahi-Mahi Dorado, Grilled Asparagus, Corn Chowder Soup, and a half pound of crab legs. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious! I appreciate that the calories are on the menu. The warm bread and olive oil was fabulous. Last but not least Jimmy, my server was excellent. (The prices are very reasonable as well) Looking forwarding to returning - maybe today!“
“What a GEM! WOW, after having numerous locations near us in NY, it’s truly hard to find a good, fresh Sushi spot! BUT! Here it is! Lili’s is soooo good! And the staff is Amazing! Thank you so much for being so good to us! Great place to eat! Or take out!“
“Friendly staffs, Cozy and comfortable restaurant for family, couples, groups. Hot tea and water were offered once we seated Refreshing banchan were offered before our foods arrived, it doesn’t take long for our foods arrive. Crispy fried dumplings were good. Beef Raman noodles were not over cooked, The broth flavor was mild, but good. Beef bugogi was flavorful with rice on the side. Kimchee soup comes with noodles on the bottom side hot stone steamed rice along with the order. We all enjoyed our dishes. We get there right when they open. The place fills up quickly. Highly recommended.“
“There's not enough space in this box to say how great Don's Dock is. From the cutie atmosphere inside, great family staff and long-time staff, to the best seafood which is cooked perfectly every single time, you can't beat it! Drove 45 each way because, simply put, it was totally worth it!!“
“If you haven’t checked this place out yet you absolutely said I went in for dinner with my family, but stopped at the bar first Kim and Brian were amazing and so much fun. I loved their energy George was our server he super friendly we had a lot of laughs! Thank you! Be back “
“We ordered chicken noodle soup, letting the waiter know that we were going to share. They thoughtfully split our order into two bowls and even gave us a little extra. The chicken noodle soup was delicious! The noodles were cooked perfectly, not too hard and not too soft. The broth was comforting, and the chicken and ingredients tasted fresh. It really was the best chicken noodle soup I've ever tried. The service was great too. We'll definitely be back again.“
“The food was great and affordable! Atmosphere was fun! We all had an amazing time! Huge shout out do the man in the hanger (I think he said his name was Jeff). He was so nice and excited to show us around the hanger! You could tell he really enjoys working there and is excited to share his knowledge of planes! He really took our experience from great to amazing! We were beyond impressed with everything!“
“Delicious! Excellent client service. I love their ice cream, mangoneadas, corn with butter, cheese and cream in a cup, natural cold pressed juices. Everything is made with attention for a reason. Be patient, they can get busy sometimes, but promise it will all be worth it. People get there with mobile orders expecting to skip lines- not even Starbucks does this.“
“We do steaks and king crab legs every Xmas Eve. We checked a number of places for king crab legs. Many didn't have them, OR had the crab clusters. Not the same thing. Supreme Lobster had them, and much more. We'll be going back thru the New Year for fresh seafood!“
“What a wonderful experience. Now this is what a classic restaurant should be. The dining area was low lit, quiet with well trained waitstaff. Very nice and impressive. I asked if they could prepare an item not on the menu and they were very accommodating. The food was delicious, the background music was enjoyable and overall a great evening. We will definitely be back. I want to express my appreciation for an owner who understands what an adult evening out should be. Thank you.“
“I went there today and I had to write a review. I found them on Google and live in a near by neighborhood. The food is delicious!!!! The restaurant was very clean and hand sanitizers were everywhere. The customer service was great!! I’m so glad I found them and don’t have to travel the city for jerk. Keep doing a great job!!!“
“I have been there many times, and the food is always fresh and delicious. I just ordered through grubhub, and that order was perfect. Also, having to be gluten-free was not a problem for them, which is always reassuring. Thank you, Poke Bros.Dietary restrictions: Have to be Gluten-free for medical reasons“
“We like meeting our family who's from the Chicago suburbs here because it's close to the midpoint for us in Milwaukee. I am sometimes leery of having seafood in the Midwest unless it's a fancier place because I worry about freshness. But I don't worry at Bob Chin's because it's huge, always crowded - so you know the sheer volume they do means it's fresh. Service is good. Atmosphere is fun and fast paced.“
“Had a great experience my first time here. Food was delicious, portions were huge, and the service was phenomenal!! Service is what really stood out to me. Also they were very fast and gave a complimentary cookie and fortune cookie with the check. Highly recommended ! Try the combination rice can't go wrong.“
“Number to share other than to say we really liked that place and enjoyed the food. Before we went there when I thought of Greek food I thought of gyros and that stuff in grape leaves. This place was a heck of a lot more than that and very yummy.“
“Discovered this place recently and wanted to give it a try. We picked 3 of their signature bowls for a pick up. It was not busy and the order was ready waiting for us. The place was clean and the lady working there was friendly. The portion is good, food was fresh and overall had a good experience with our first order. However, for a to-order I thought the sauce could be placed on the side for people to control how much to mix in.“
“Amazing, fresh seafood! I won’t buy branzino or lake perch from anywhere else. Fair prices for the fresh, on-ice fish. Prices are a little steep for the actual restaurant, but again the quality is out of this world.Parking: Maybe 10 spots out front, some on the street“
“If I can give it a 20 star I would, the food, the service and the atmosphere was amazing and Spectacular! I will definitely come back here again! We got the lamb chops and one item specials which was the Ribeye with mashed potatoes and god it was definitely delicious I wish I didn’t get so full so fast. We got calamari as an app and that was very good and tasty as well. For desert we finished off with homemade tiramisu and the chef treated us with some homemade cannoli. I was truly amazed with the service we got, definitely worth all the money. This place is very nice and everyone is friendly and amazing makes you want to go back!“
“Great shrimp boil! I got the garlic butter medium heat and it was perfect. First time I went I got the hottest one and it was really spicy. (I love a lot of spicy) the medium was perfect. Also added noodles(linguine) and hard boiled eggs. Delicious!“
“Attended a private event .The Coastal Grill is where land meets sea. Brightly colored interior offering 3 different kitchens..Raw Bar,Sushi and Coastal Grill.We were lucky to sample a few different cocktails as well as Humus Crudits,Tuna and Beef Tartar,Lemon Chicken Satay and a variety of sushi.The Beef Tartar was delicious,the Chicken Satay was moist and flavorful and the sushi was fresh and amazing!Great location with plenty of parking. I will definitely be back !“
“Excellent service and sushi!! They served 22+ of us and were on top of it! Drinks, many different menu items and never missed a beat. Delicious sushi, sashimi and cooked items along great portion sizes. Awesome place and definitely returning!“
“This is my favorite Greek restaurant in the country and one of my top 3 go-to places in the NW Chicago suburbs. The service is friendly and very attentive, and the food is beyond amazing. Do yourself a favor and order the "flaming cheese" -- a lot of it! Opa!“
“Shwings Catering was phenomenal. We used shwings to cater for my son’s 1st birthday. Aside from the famous shrimp we ordered, sausage and pepper, salads, pasta , and chicken fingers. Everything was delicious, of course the shrimp was a HUGE hit! M was so sweet in helping us get a good menu and $$/pp. I’m the type of person to over order and hate when we have so many left overs , so it was helpful to have someone else’s input. If you are interested in getting catering do not hesitate to reach out, the team is so helpful.“
“The food was delicious! It is a little pricey, but worth it. The drinks were perfect as well! I had 2 margaritas and they weren't too strong or weak, so they were perfect. My family had ordered a mix of things. From fajitas, fries- which were cooked perfectly and so good that we ordered 3 times, steak, shrimp, and paella. Everything was delicious! The service was great, and my family had a great time here. The only issue I had was that the place was really small. Other than that, it's definitely worth it to give this place a try.“
