“Love this place! We eat here frequently on Sundays!”

“I ordered chicken & filet combo. Filet was very good, chicken tasted good but was very dry and overcooked. Quality of veggies were good, I just wish there’s more of it. Was also hoping there’s more with the fried rice like onions, carrots, peas, maybe even scrambled eggs. Lastly, it’s missing yum yum sauce and soup. Can’t have hibachi without those two!”

“We had a wonderful lunch and our server, Mia was just as friendly as could be! Absolutely loved everything about this place! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon! :)”

“My husband and I had our 1st meal inside the restaurant. We’d dined on the patio several times. We loved the ambiance inside. We began with the burrata appetizer-outstanding. I opted for the lamb chop special and my husband had the misto de mare, both were delicious. To finish our wonderful dinner, we had the lemoncello and mascarpone cake. Scrumptious!”

“Being a celiac person, I love that they have options for me and I feel safe ordering, knowing they take care in preparing the meal. The food is very tasty, I love that I can get cheese curds.”

“First time here and it was wonderful. Loved the window seat looking out to the gardens. The breakfast was amazing. The service was excellent and friendly. I will definitely come back. Thank you .”

“Great bourbon. The drink and bartender Rochelle was outstanding. Also you can buy bourbon here!! Win win!”

“The perfect spot for singles, couples, groups or parties. Fantastic wine selections and availability”

“Some of this food makes me wanna dance. Shoutout to the man G-reg on providing some of BEST service I have had in my life. I asked for a napkin and he gave us not one, but TWO. Buffalo chicken sandwich was as big as my house. Must try.”

“Food is delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and chill. The staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating. We were there with my 7 and 10 year old for dinner. My son has special needs and they were so great with him. At the end of the dinner when they could see I was struggling a bit with my son, one server came to me and said, “don’t worry mama, we got you.” So kind. Thank you Stockholms for being an amazing place. Highly recommend. Highly highly recommend.”

“It’s the best plate to grab a wine and snack.”

“Outstanding experience from start to finish! Charlie’s service was exceptional, and his wine and side recommendations were perfect. The prime rib and filet were both cooked to perfection. We’ll definitely be back! Great job on the Manhattans :)”

“Service was awful! Our server, Joselyn, slammed down the glasses of water 5 minutes after we were seated, took our order and never saw her again until she slammed the bill down at our table. We saw her for a total of 3 minutes in the 45 minutes we were there. Unfortunately for Joselyn, her tip reflected her poor service. I tip 20-25% for good service, she lost out and made the restaurant less desirable to return. However, the burger was juicy and delicious, the macaroni and cheese was outstanding!”

“Great food & customer service...!!!”

“Great beers and seltzers, great service, and a great pretzel, what more could you want?! The apple cider donut and pink lemonade seltzers were so good, as well as the Lil Boots hazy ipa.”

“Staff- service- and the beer selections???? What else????? They are the best!”

“My daughter and I had a delicious lunch at Foxfire today! The service was wonderful, and the lobster roll was one of the best I have had. Certainly a bright spot in our rainy day! Thank you, Foxfire!”

“Stopped in with a friend after a metra ride. Hung out at this establishment while we waited for my phone to charge up and for Uber to come. Typical mixed bar of locals and commuters. Sports oriented. Did not check out the menu. We just ordered a beverage. Wait staff was kind, cheerful, and attentive. They have a nice patio as well. A great place to relax as you wait for a train or a great place to unwind after a day downtown and long train ride.”

“Great tasting and fresh food and drinks! Some of the best I’ve had”

“We love this place. Great “breakfast diner” atmosphere. Great food. Friendly staff (Gretchen was a sweetheart). We’ve been here before the pandemic and are so happy that they made it through that. 10 out of 10.”

“Walrus Room is a solid five star restaurant. Table service is fantastic. Our server knew the menu inside and out, provided useful recommendations and was very attentive without being pesty. Starting with the appetizers four of us had Shrimp DeJohgne, the Burrata, Curds and Chorizo Mussels. All very very good. From their extensive lists the ladies had wine and I had bourbon. For dinner we ordered the walleye on rice, Amish roast chicken and the prime steak frites. All really good although maybe the entrees were a bit salty. We ordered too much food and drink so the nearly five hundred dollar bill was our fault. Great service, fantastic atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.”

“We absolutely love Cotto A Legna!! We have been coming here for years and we just recently had our birthday celebration there for a large group!! They were easy to work with everything was amazing!!! We highly recommend Cotto A Legna for a night out, casual family dinner(super kid friendly) and even a special event!!”

“We attended for our company holiday party and everything was great. The drinks were delightful, all of the food came out hot and the sushi was on point!”

“The staff have been really rude to me ever since I pointed out that my tab was wrong and I was overcharged. I wasn't upset about the double charges, I just wanted them corrected. I've barely been waited on since then it seems. I tried to step in a help once when a patron had been over served. It wasn't welcomed at all. I was given the same look as I get when I walk up to the bar to get a drink. Too bad, it's really close to home to me. I haven't been in over a year and have no plans on returning.”

“High-quality tasty food and friendly servers make this a favorite place. Talented chefs at the cooking tables. Plenty of free parking. Popular for birthdays and can get crowded, so consider reservations.”

“Top tier food quality & customer service! I’ve been here a couple times and they never disappoint. Consistancy in both taste & service. Definitely recommend trying their food if you’re in the area!”

“The best pizza we have ever had hands down! We finally tried the location in Geneva a couple weeks ago and already have ordered from there twice! Also the staff is very welcoming and friendly! Easily 5 stars!”

“The steamed BBQ pork buns are a must! Beyond delicious. I also am a huge fan of the gluten-free thin rice noddles that I substitute in my main dish typically! The spicy ramen broth is delicious (my husbands go-to). If you are in a rush, this might not be the place for you. A true mom and pap shop, perfecting every dish before serving. For my husband and I, it’s well worth the wait for the authentic divine flavors. Great portion sizes as well!”

“Ice cream has never been my first choice of desserts but Candy’s Creamery may have just changed my sweet tooth preference. Tonight I had a scoop of mint chocolate chip with a scoop of dark chocolate…and oh my goodness it was delicious! Highly recommend!🍦🍦🍦”

“This place is just the best. Very likely the best food in the Tri-cities if not the western suburbs. Incredible drinks and very friendly staff. Simply a must! New outdoor patio too.”

“I ordered a dairy free smash cake and a regular cake from Eye Candy Bake Shop for my daughter’s birthday. Everyone raved about the birthday cake and my daughter loved her personal cake! I was shown how to properly cut the cake and had help bringing the cake to my car - something most bakeries don’t do anymore! We will definitely order more cakes/desserts in the future!”

“Delicious homemade soup and sandwiches, served hot, generous portions, and fast service w/ John Colias”

“Cozy diner and fresh food.”

“Food is amazing!! Pastor tacos and red sauce enchiladas is to die for!!”

“Love their pizza! The right amount of sauce and cheese. Never a long wait.”

“Healthy choice, no added sugar, smoothies are so good. Kids love it !!”

“Lunch today was fabulous! We had the Thai fried spring rolls to start out and then the yellow curry and pahd Thai. Everything was delicious! Their red chilli sauce is the best I've ever tasted. After, we finished with an order of mango with sticky rice, a perfect small sweet treat to end the meal. Excellent service and very friendly staff.”

“My favorite Geneva taco joint! Great tacos and tamales! I love the quick service and counter seat lunch spot atmosphere. A great spot for us tradespeople lookin for a hot fast and delicious lunch. Memo does a fantastic job and is always consistent! Enjoy!”

“Best steal burrito I've had. It was an actual steak, grilled then cut to pieces, not the chopped steak that's been on a grill forever. Perfectly seasoned, almost didn't need any salsa (and that's part of my reason for getting burritos!). Husband loves pastor and is a bit of a connoisseur and said it was phenomenal. The red sauce is a good actual pepper red, not too hot. The green sauce is the best verde sauce I've had. Very authentic on both. The house salsa was very fresh and bright, with some heat to it. Or server was very polite and accommodating. We may have found a new favorite. 5/5.”

“Wow what a great location filled with fun and talented people! Get there if you want to relax and get caffeinated.”

“Nosh has very quickly become our favorite breakfast place! The food is stellar, the staff is outstanding! Whether its your first time in or your hundredth, you are treated like friends. There is a reason we eat there sometimes multiple times a week!”

“We love Egg Harbor in Geneva,IL. Fantastic menu, superb staff, all round great place. Bring back chilled overnight oats!”

“My daughter has been going to the Party kitchen for many years and it is her favorite extracurricular activity. She really enjoys the class and Lori is so great with them. She has learned a lot of great cooking skills that will help her throughout her life.”

“Whenever I am unsure what I want for dinner after a long day, this place saves the day. Have you tried the cheese curds? Old school cheeseburger or Italian cheesy beef? Been going here since the original building and it just gets better. ❤️”

“We've been looking for a great local boba tea location. We stumbled across this and decided to give it a try. My matcha milk tea with crystal boba was incredible. My daughter's brown sugar tea was photo worthy and we realized afterwards we should have taken a picture. An easy 5 stars! We highly recommend and will be back.”

“Awesome service. The prices a a bit high, but I come for the employees and delicious. Kaitlyn and Andrea are hysterical and make each visit so much fun. I was surprised when they told me they didn’t own it!!”

“Being pregnant and really really sick, one of the things I can eat is Pro Fusion protein shakes. The staff is so kind and really helpful explaining the options, proteins, and nutrients in the shake and making recommendations. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you, Pro Fusion!”

“Just moved to the area and after trying LOTS of Italian spots, Antonio's has quickly become our favorite! :)”

“Aurelio’s is a terrific restaurant! It has an awesome atmosphere easy to enjoy with friends and family. I’ve always had a wonderful experience there. They have great food, drinks, as well as live music on their wonderful back patio. Their service is excellent, and I highly recommend this to anyone looking have great restaurant experience and night out on the town!”

“Wonderful place to enjoy a glass (or two) of wine!”

“Always have a fabulous sub. I’m gluten free so they have a fabulous GF bun. I love most of the staff. They remember you and are funny ......It’s my one treat that I enjoy so much ....always get #2 extra meat and dressing. Thank you Jersey mike for keeping it real”

“Delicious, and great service!”

“Very happy baristas in the wee hours of the morning . . . what would make me even happier would be if they could serve me cold brew diluted with hot water instead of cold water and ice, as I have requested multiple times and have been denied 😭 "Cold brew is 67 percent less acidic than other varieties, which means that it may be easier for people with sensitive stomachs to digest." And I would prefer it warm instead of iced on these chilly mornings 😘 Is this really being too particular . . . at Starbucks?!”

“Love them for special occasions”

“They have single handedly guided through PMS, a breakup, and of course happy times too.
Do yourself a favor and get a cupcake during Fall times so it comes with the cutest little whipped cream pumpkin”

“I highly recommend Heidi’s Cake &Pasty!!! You guys were a life saver today. Long story short I order a cake from another baker 3 months ago for my daughters sweet 16th birthday party tomorrow. He canceled on me this morning. You guys came to my rescue and had a criminal minds cake ready for me in a few hours! You have gained my business and my whole family’s business! I cant stop thanking you!!!”

“The best almond croissants 🥐 However sometimes the centers are still too doughy and wet.”

“5 STARS AND 2 THUMBS UP!!!

Absolutely loved this location. ❤️

The staff was extremely friendly and nice. So patient and helpful. It was our first time here. It's probably family operated because everything had the same wonderful personality and smile.

The food...LOVED IT!! Delicious! I recommend the sweet and smoky chicken. The bread was fresh and soft. Ample chicken in the sandwich.

The dining area was modern and clean. The staff clears your table for you.

Make sure you down load the app for potential reward freebies or coupons.

Will definitely come again. I enjoyed the friendly staff, warm food, and nice environment.”

“I love Currito!!! This is my favorite place ever! I have told so many friends and co workers to go! My boyfriend and friends love it to. This place is my first choice if I’m hungry!”

“Excellent cupcakes and coffee. We also got a box of toffee that was very good as well.”

“Just don't rely on the app waitlist...when you get this message: You're next in line to be seated! Please head to the host stand now. Enjoy your brunch! Text "cancel" if your plans change. DONT EXPECT YOUR NAME TO BE CALLED....standing next to the host stand waiting to be called, not text, standing 3 feet away....I finally looked at my phone and I was cancelled...warning keep your heads on your phone, impersonal but it's the way it is.”

“It was a happy atmosphere. The workers were friendly to each other and to costumers. It was quiet and relaxing.

Vegetarian options: Lots of fruit and vegetable options. They are flexible with everything.

Dietary restrictions: They’re flexible with anything. Just let them know before ordering.

Parking: The parking was right in front of the building. A very short walk from the parking lot to the building.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a colorful environment, great for kids. No one suspicious in the area. The food and drinks are delicious. It seems great for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a lot of room inside the building. The tables have a spot for those in a wheelchair.”

“I would recommend their gluten free pizza!”

“The food is delicious. First, I though that the size is smaller than the other Thai and Chinese restaurants, but the ingredients and the content are really delicious and well picked, so instead of eating just onions in a full plate, you eat everything well cut and cooked in a well enough size plate. I recommend it to every Thai food lovers.”

“Delicious food and fast service! 5 stars!”

“Beat tuna salad, cookies, paninis. And also in the refrigerator ready to go their smoked chicken enchiladas”

“Rating this place is difficult because I love BBQ and I’ve been searching for a good one for awhile. The first time coming here (take out) was fantastic. Plenty of food, good prices, good service, and delicious food. The second time (dine -in) following a few months was not the same. Food was not all that tasty and Mac & cheese is always spicy regardless requesting without spice. It just didn’t hit the same. I do enjoy this place and want to visit a third but unsure if it’ll be like loving my first visit or settling like my second visit. Regardless, I still believe this might be one of the best BBQ place in the suburbs, which coming from is says a lot. I have had plenty of ribs from plenty of places!”

“I've been ordering here for years and never disappointed.”

“Great food and friendly service.”

“The RICE BALLS are to die for!!! Chicken so tender and juicy ;-)”

“Good food & service. Love the pizza.”

“Had a great experience. Food amazing. Service was excellent. Affordable and great quality. Everything on the menu looked great. Many options for everyone. I had a salad but others in our family had sandwiches and other great tasty menus items. Can’t complain. Would go back anytime we go back to town.”

“Little shop with a WEALTH of variety! Smells amazing as you walk in and the options for coffee and loose tea is unparalleled. Owners are super sweet and helpful. Will definitely be back!”

“Acai Berry Boost: substitute banana with more Pomegranate. It's delicious! Order ahead with the app and it will be prepared withing minutes. I've tried the food as well. I was surprised at the quality of ingredients and flavors. I wish I could get a smooth every day.”

“I've had nothing short of exemplary service from the bartenders, Rachael, Vanessa, and T. Try the Dam burger! Per my request, you can get a med rare burger. So good! Good homemeade food, great service, reasonable, fun place. CLEAN!”

“Took a while for this place to open, but it was worth the wait! I absolutely love the staff here. They're kind, personable, and always get our drinks right.”

“Very good 😊 we enjoyed the food”

“Hi. I would like to say thank you to Jacki at the Crystal lake location. She was so kind and showed empathy when I was there on Thursday 8/1/2024. It’s been a difficult week and my mom had passed away that morning. That was my first meal in about a week. She was so kind to pay for our meals. Thank you so much. I would like for that owner to know this and we will be returning back soon! 10/23/2024- we had Maya as our server today. She is also another wonderful asset to your team! Thank you for the Bingo night!”

“Best cappuccino I have ever had!”
