I went with a party of ten for my daughter’s birthday and we all had different plates and we loved our tasty food . To our surprise they had entertainment which added to our experience. We will definitely be going again soon💕.“

“Great bagel shop to grab breakfast and a coffee to start your day. With the usual selection of bagels, you can't go wrong a simple one with cheese or one as a sandwich with beacon and eggs.

They had a good selection of coffee for those who need an extra wake-up jolt. The staff was help and great with kids. Great morning, stop to start your day.“

“I came in from Arizona to go to one of my all-time favorite pizza places! Came tonight to pick up a pizza to bring to my mom, who is 84, and she asked specifically for me to leave a review – she thought she died and went to heaven! You knocked it out of the park! We LOVED the antipasto salad, 18 inch pizza with your one-of-a -kind cornmeal crust, and tiramisu!!“

“A great neighborhood find! We took our children, and both of them only ate a few bites of their shared sandwich #toddlerlife. The server noticed they didn't each much of their sandwich and banana and brought them complimentary rice and beans which they ate a TON of (to my surprise). They truly went above and beyond to ensure our family was well fed and had a great time. The live music was an added bonus. Would highly recommend!“

“We had the BEST time here. We were visiting the city for the first time and needed a breakfast spot. Vicky was a LOVELY waitress. She was helpful and kind and super accommodating. She took our picture and even brought me out a birthday crepe! She was super sweet and the entire atmosphere of this place was so nice and welcoming. 10/10 recommend! 🌻“

“This late night vegan food really hit the spot! So yummy!“

“Incredible experience everytime. 2nd birthday and one anniversary celebrated here. The service is phenomenal with how welcoming, attentive and intentional they are.

The food is incredible as always. It is one of the most fine dining meals I've ever had quite honestly with flavor, ingredients, presentation and creativity.

I love this place.“

“Wonderful restaurant. Food was excellent very close to what I had in Rome. Staff very friendly and made our dining very enjoyable! Go here!!“

“BBBBBAAAAABBBBYYYYY THAT FRIED RED SNAPPER GOT ME IN A CHOKEHOLD!!! Literally everything I’ve had from there is DELICIOUS“

“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 !!!“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“Absolutely. Amazing. WOW!“

“Excellent food, attentive wait staff.“

“I loved this place we went to for breakfast. I especially want to give a separate shout-out to the waiter Furkan. His smiling face, attentiveness, and positive energy warm you up the moment you walk in. He brought the orders quickly and completely, and he kept checking on the table without ever being intrusive. It’s clear that he truly enjoys his job.

The venue itself is both clean and very spacious. The breakfast items are fresh, the presentation is careful, and the flavors are perfectly on point. With hot tea, freshly baked bread, and a rich Turkish breakfast spread, you start the day in the best way.

I definitely recommend it in terms of both taste and service. We need more employees and businesses like this 👏“

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience“

“Always reliably good food in a quiet atmosphere where one can actually have a conversation with other diners without shouting. Service was good, if a little prompt. Menu,, as usual, has so much variety for vegetarians and even non-vegetarians will find delicious food to eat.“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“Great experience at FIYA! Went for an early-ish dinner and it was pretty empty, which I honestly prefer. Tried the brussel sprouts (incredible! My favorite dish of the evening I think), the baba with GF pita (also good!!), grilled halloumi, and the mushrooms.

Everything was good. Worth a visit!“

CASH ONLY, no restroom, five stars, go now!“

“This might be my favorite business in the city. First of all, their draft menu is huge and rotates all the time. You can always find quality imported Belgian beer, but then you flip the menu over and there's loads of other unique beers. Some brewed in Chicago, some from other cities, and even some other imported stuff. I frequently find rare and unique beers here that I would have never thought to seek out. Plus, they have ciders and meade on draft.
Then, if somehow you don't see anything on draft you want, they have an entire laminated booklet full of bottled beers. Again, heavy on the Belgian stuff but plenty of other options too. They even have NA beers, gluten free, a good wine selection, and house cocktails.
All this alone is enough to bring you in, but the vibes are also immaculate. The place has a old timey, wooden everything charm and is covered in interesting branded beer signs. There's a second bar on the first floor and a third one upstairs if it's busy. There's garage door windows that they open when the weather is nice. And there's a gorgeous patio in the back. One of the rare places to eat/drink outside that's not next to a street or parking lot. I love coming here on weekdays to get work done when it's not crowded, or bringing friends to hang out on a weekend.
The food here is good too. It's not usually what draws me in, but the bread butter board or cheese board are always a nice complement to the beers.

My only complaint is that nothing here is cheap (I always end up spending $40-60/person just on beers). But it's so, so worth it.“

“The best in Chicago!! Very cozy and family oriented!“

“Excellent food, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere.“

“good food and good service“

“Great staff and every thing we ordered was absolutely fantastic.“

“New to the restaurant and would highly recommend as a cute little brunch nook! I enjoyed the blackened chicken wrap with potatoes and a coke! One of my most favorite wraps yet! Can't wait to come back and try more off the menu :)“

“The food is delicious and service was excellent“

“Stopped in for lunch. The salads were excellent, gumbo delicious, and the corn bread is out-if-this-world amazing!“

“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández“
