“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale!

“We've known about Elephant & Vine for a while and just got around to eating there. It was super yummy. The menu is limited but the food is great. I had the mammoth burger. The Elephant sauce was the star for sure. My honey had the Korean BBQ chicken sandwich which was amazing. He definitely ordered better. We also had the buffalo cauliflower wings. The sauce was great not too spicy, very smooth. The ambiance was nice, modern but welcoming. The service was also great. Our order came out quickly so the fries and tots were warm and crispy. We will be back for sure.“

“Ate there for the first time tonight. I am vegan and my husband is an Omni. Chef Bill came out and waited on us personally, and gave us menu recommendations, all of which were delicious! The ambiance was so relaxing and peaceful; it was a nice respite from a busy day and I didn’t want to leave. Reasonably priced as well: shared appetizer, two teas, two entrees, and two desserts was $60. Will definitely be back for many more dinners!“
