“I got fettuccine Alfredo. It was good. I also got the drink with the rose and it was also good. My friends got a pizza and it was good. We dresses up and took pictures and they were very understanding and let us take pictures everywhere we want in the restaurant. We would ask if it's ok and almost every worker would say yes with a smile.“

“If I could give more stars, I would! I have not only visited their establishment, but have also utilized their catering/event services. Service has always been amazing, the food is very delicious, and Carissa and Judy are so responsive and helpful! If you're looking for event catering services reach out to this awesome team! You will be in the best hands.“

“Quaint place for awesome cocktails. A good and interesting list to choose from. Small and intimate place. The sliders were ok. Small plates menu with about 5 things on it. I would go here for before or after dinner cocktails and eat at Babbocks which is connected to this “

“I've been here many times now, and love it!! It's busy most weekends and holidays and nights tbh, lol. So expect a bit of a wait, sometimes. It's worth it. Besides you can walk up the street and have a quick beer at Orange and Brew or Emmett's Brewing Co. while you're on their waiting list. It's just a short walk; get that 5 minute walk in for beer and food!! Enjoy and cheers!“

“My daughter and I dined for the first time here today. the food and atmosphere was amazing. we had a couple pizza lunch specials and calamari. The best part was our server, Isael. He was attentive, friendly, and was just noticibly proud of where he works. We will definitely be back and requesting him as our server.“

“The tapas selection is excellent. Each comes with ~3 servings, and there is something for everyone! Highly recommend the stuffed Spanish peppers and pork medallions. Service is spectacular - they don't judge how bad your pronunciation “

“Why don't I come here more often? I think my wife wants to keep all the wine to herself. Every time we stop in here I promise myself I will come back more often. Stop by and check it out. Great selection of wine and accessories and a few light plates to keep you fueled up.“

“Very nice, good food, accommodating in every way. We were running late for our reservation and they were very understanding, hostesses were very friendly and our server (Nick? Or he just reminds me of Nick from New Girl ?) was AMAZING!! Give that man a RAISE! Bartender downstairs was great as well. Everyone from Hostess to bus boys had it together. Thank you for a great dinner ❤️“

“Recently had my baby shower here. They have a side room that you can reserve for parties and events. The food was absolutely delicious- we had fruit, quiche, and a really delicious bread and veggie casserole. They also had the bar set up for us for drinks and everyone was so friendly.“

“A large group went to La Tequileria for dinner and a tequila tasting. The tequila that was served was unbelievable. The selection, the presentation and the service were all top notch. The food (especially the ceviche tostada and the tacos) was unbelievable. The atmosphere was fantastic .... and there's live music as well.Overall a perfect night. Thanks to our server, Lexi, and the host, David, for a great evening. A great find in the Western suburbs of Chicago!!“

“You gotta open a joint down here in Florida...West Palm Beach. There no frigging good Italian food. Forgettaboutit ..the bread sucks... closest good food is at the market! Gotta make it! The ones down here trying to do it..can't do it!!! Period!!! I gotta ship my bread from home, providence rhode island. We need a place like yours. Just pick up that building and put it down here! I know a good spot..! Love ya style....“

“Great, family-friendly service. I came here with my kids, so that was top of mind.The food was delicious, and I was glad that they asked me about the spice level instead of just making it bland. My kids ate without reservations. I recommend the kid's boxes for the kids. It's a great combo for the little ones.“

“Because hotel restaurants might sometimes be a generic experience, El Tapeo exceeded all expectations. The food was perfectly prepared and presented, the wait staff attentive and ready to help make selections. This restaurant fits the saying, "You get what you pay for." In this case, no regrets, can't wait to go back soon!“

“Ordered take out. Food tasted good. The Monses pancakes have a great presentation and taste! Order was prepared very quickly. I was missing the toppings for the regular waffle order. Would definitely order again. The interior is nice as well.“

“Came here on a Saturday just for the high tea service with a friend. This is my first time visiting the Drake hotel in Oakbrook ever as well as the colonial room. What I love is that parking was very easy and very free. The ambience as soon as you walk in of the hotel is very modern with some classical traditional touches. The place overall is very impressive and a great place to host probably have meals as well as even parties. I will say the tea service itself was good and decent, but it wasn't impressive. Meaning I thought that for two people they would mirror all of the food offerings however that was not the case. Also, I felt that the food offering, especially for the savory items was quite limited. There were only nine choices. However, the choices were all loose leaf tees, which was great. The high tea also includes a free glass of champagne, which is always a nice touch. The place are absolutely beautiful and take great photographs. A stand out from the entire experience was definitely the staff which includes the waiter and the support partners that he had. They were super attentive and friendly, which always makes for a good experience. I think for the price and for what you get it was a little short and I will continue to try out high teas to find just the right one.“
