This is my favorite restaurant in Evanston. The food is fresh, and the price and portions are awesome. They take care of their customers. After more than 10 years of dining there, tonight they made their first ever mistake on one of orders. They called me before I even got home and offered to credit me the cost. When I told them I could come back for it, they surprised me with a double order. I'm grateful this restaurant is so close to my home, because I love them. Thanks,...
