“Delicious fresh and ever changing menu”

“Wow this place was fantastic on every level. Food was outstanding, the place was very modern and the people were outstanding… so please go and try!”

“We had an awesome girls afternoon out with some great drinks and an awesome server than was full of suggestions and fun entertainment. Jorge G did a great job!”

“This place is absolutely incredible. The service every single time is top-notch . Every time I’ve been here which is more than three the same guy has been behind the counter. This is truly a jem in Linconshire.

The Portion size feels like it is nearly double what you get at chipotle. Obviously, this is an Asian style bowl place and the amount of toppings that they have is absolutely incredible. All the veggies are super fresh and they have great sauce. My son loves the mango chill drink. I had a zipper too, and it is a really tasty super thick mango drink.”

“variety of Indian breads, loved the Onion Kulcha! incredibly delicious taste and levels of spicyness are offered with every dish! no more spice overwhelm which can ruin the subtle tastes in Indian cuisine. courteous staff, gracious and available servers. Loved Aloo & cauliflower dish My partner enjoyed robust Dal dish which had veggie tidbits to round out flavor. we loved the food here. Best Indian fare in the area!”

“So good! One of my new favorite spots, you can tell they use fresh ingredients. Highly recommend their beef & chicken kabob plate!”

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!”

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.”

“Highly recommend trying Merienda’s. I went there based on a recommendation from a friend. Loved the vibe, mom/pop, cute restaurant, with a lot of delicious options. Tried the spicy shrimp with garlic rice, pancit, ube latte with oat milk, pink calamansi lemonade, & mango cheesecake. Delicious! Will definitely go back to try other dishes. Very reasonably priced for the portion size. The guy at the register was friendly & enthusiastic with helping us select our entree.”

Absolutely stop in. Whether you want spicy wings, cheesy bites, noodles, this place has you covered.”

“So far I’ve eaten at Vasco’s twice with my coworker. The food is delicious. It is perfectly spiced, chicken is cooked to perfection and not dry. The garlic sauce is very tasty. It is very clean. The people working there are extremely nice and helpful. My coworker doesn’t know much about Indian food so she had a lot of questions. They were patient and answered all of the. The owner came to our table both times we were there to ask how things were. It is a place that you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. We are already planning our next visit.”

“Great food. One of my favorite places best sandwich is 5 on rosemary bread.”

“The food was amazing. The food was fresh and the flavors were rich and unique. Service was great and prices were reasonable. We will definitely go back.”

“Best Greek food in the area!”

“If you are looking for a top notch corned beef or pastrami sandwich or combo of both in Libertyville, Burt's deli is the place to go! The meat is made fresh, sliced thin and piled high. It is so tender it melts in your mouth. The owner is a great kibbitzer and makes you feel welcome, even if the line is long, he will be sure to get a sample out to you. Give Burt's a try, you won't be disappointed.”

“Delicious your food 🍱 very friendly !!!!”

“After our first visit here with friends, we couldn’t stop talking about when we’d be back!

When we’re with a group, we like to sit at a table, but when it’s just me and my husband, the bar is our go-to spot. The servers and bartenders are always fantastic.

The oysters are fresh and delicious, and the foie gras is served just the way I love—with toast and jam.

The caesar salad is quite good, with a nice touch of pickled sardines.

So far, our favorite entrées are the burger, steak frites, and walleye.

We’re already looking forward to our next visit!”

“the food is one of a kind I love this place so much can't wait to go back and have their chicken pesto pannini”

“The bread is out of this world. My personal favorite is the seeded. The pastries are also very good. What a treasure.”

“First time here and love it! I used to live in Arlington Heights and was driving by for an appointment. There used to be a Starbucks. I got the gingerbread latte and the papa Nicholas sandwich. Yum 😋 Such a great cause for the community as well. 😃”

“The food is tasty and well prepared. I had their soups, sandwiches, salads and breakfast. They have a wonderfully friendly staff of employees.”

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The ambiance at Francesca’s Tavola is unmatched—classic, classy, and comfortable. The Pollo Arrosto Romana was divine—crisp skin, tender meat, and the rosemary lemon flavor was out of this world. Highly recommend!”

“Great food and great servers!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We hadn't been there in probably 15 years. The food was delicious (had the Blackened Trout and a wonderful Wedge Salad).

Our server Ian was friendly and very attentive.

We look forward to returning soon!”
