“Wow. I had the soup/stew. It was great. Don't miss the garden. Koi pond. Lester the owner has stories. This is where waiters and waitresses go.“

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

“I just took my 12 year old nephew here as a surprise adventure. The place is amazing! It’s well laid out. There is plenty to do for every one. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. And the prices are reasonable for both games and the bar. We will definitely be back.“

“Made a delivery and the owners had been notified by my employer that it was my birthday. They put together a margarita to go for me and I can honestly say I’ve never had a better one. And the owners were extremely kind even though I was running late.“

“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

“We have discovered this place 3 years ago when we are searching for an outdoor casual dining. What we found was a great place that had outdoor seating on a deck patio with umbrellas and a TV set to watch sporting events. The service was friendly, and the food was great. The drinks were very reasonable. The menu was large having everything from sandwiches to dinners. We never had a bad experience there and brought family and friends to enjoy the evening sitting outside. We always come back.“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“Took a trip out to the area, decided to stop here to eat on the way home. Wow we were delighted. Chris was great and made me literally the best amaretto sour ever. I got the pan roast and my partner got the gumbo. Huge portions. So delicious.“

“All I know is that the food is so good that I have been here 3 times since it opened (Which has been less then 6 months). I know I should branch out and try the other offerings but I just really love the Tori Paitan and will be back more when the cooler weather is fully settled in.
I also sincerely appreciate that there are good non-alcoholic mixed drinks, because sometimes someone just wants a fun mixed drink but none of the alcohol and there's quite a few options here- expanded even from the menu pictured on Google. There's a really good Yuzu based drink that I also keep getting that is my favorite.
The atmosphere is higher end but not pretentious, and cozy while still being open.

I look forward to bringing more of my friends here.

Parking: Fair amount of parking but it's in a strip mall with other restaurants so you're not always able to find a spot immediately. There's usually more parking in the back“

“Sovereign is the best type of Chicago dive. Cheap beer, good people, best jukebox you'll find. Much love to them for letting my band do a fundraiser for my buddy's medical bills. The crowd, the staff, and the regulars dug deep and we've covered medication costs for the next couple month“

“Try their chili! It is the best. Great atmosphere.“

“Gus is an awesome beertender“

“Great, friendly, neighborhood bar. Jimmy will make you feel like you've been friends forever. Not usually open on Sundays, but Jimmy will open specially for Bears games, and you might also get to sample his homemade chili, sloppy joes, or maybe even some Little Caesar's pizza! ?“

“First visit there tonight and it was a lot of fun. Everybody there was really chill, was having a good time, and the bartenders were absolutely amazing. Can't believe I didn't come here sooner but I'll definitely be here more often!“

“Great classic Chicago Tavern with a pool table, live music and a fun blues jam on Tuesday nights!“

“Visited for the first time last night! What a lovely experience admiring beautiful art and sampling light hors d’oeuvres. Can’t wait to try again for dinner!“

“Great, warm interior. Semi-circular tufted seat banquets and wall tables. Ask for server Ned B. Wine and ales very good. An order of Burrata came w toasted rolls, roasted tomato and pesto. Very good. Fried Calamari was nicely cooked and had a side of ginger dipping sauce, also good.Surprised at the 15% meals tax. I’m from out of state.“

“We were in Chicago from the Puyallup Wa area. We are always on the lookout for a great neighborhood bar, and this is it! We arrived at a bit of a lull and got a seat at the bar.
The waitress was great. She took care of us and the other guests were very friendly, even sharing their Trader Joe’s popcorn, and even bought us shots.
If you are in the area this bar is a must visit for a good hometown feel even when you are across the country!“

The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is lively and fun. Whether you’re with friends or celebrating a special occasion, this is the perfect spot to let loose and sing your heart out. Highly recommend!”“

“To be totally honest, I wasn't fully prepared for Silvana’s. It’s difficult to find because the front door is plain with no signage… at least that we could find. Everything inside is humble - the place and the people. My Spanish is very bad, but everyone was so very nice and it wasn’t a problem. You do need to bring cash. My friends and I truly did have a great time, and next time I’m in the neighborhood, I’ll be stopping by. Go! You’ll have a great time!“

“I miss this place. It was my regular spot in 2007 & 2008 before I moved back to California. Very diverse crowd of regulars from different walks of life, but everyone knew each other. Jim is awesome. If I could still give him my money for alcohol, I would.“

“They support live music entertainment!“

“I love all the people here! ?????? I came here to celebrate ? Cinco De Mayo. And they all were so sweet. If you do decide to go just make sure you take cash....they don't accept credit/ debit cards. They're drinks are reasonable and cozy vibes. (Updated 2024: AND STILL GOOD VIBES)“

“Fabulous waitress. Loved my meal. Mist often order halibut. Was very good, but I like mine a little less firm. Taking it out of oven a few minutes sooner makes it lighter and moister. Tried their home made carrot cake. Was the best ever eaten.. I would love the recipe! Will continue to be s favorite spot“

“Nice bar ever play some Rasta music and it’s quite place you can enjoy when you’re free.“

“service here has been very good and it's a very very comfortable vibe. the atmosphere is like a low key sports bar - not quite dive like described in some reviews. the taps have a decent selection at good prices. probably wouldn't show up with a cocktail dinner but would love to see a cocktail on draft - could probably get my cocktail people in there if they added that. backdoor pseudo patio - but I've only been there January - April so maybe they add furniture? all else, will definitely return.“

“We had an enjoyable dinner celebrating my birthday. Great food, good drinks, exceptional service…“
