“My first visit to Inovasi and it did not disappoint! Our server Lucia was fantastic- knowledgeable friendly and she helped me find just the right cocktail! We started with their delicious bread, and then had the crispy pork belly for appetizer. For entree we had a filet with shaved truffles and a blackened cod with lime and whipped edamame. Both were superb as was the dessert of flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and shipped goats cheese, and a pumpkin cheesecake. All was delicious, and the ambiance and decor was warm and inviting. We will be back!“

“Clean Friendly Cocktails Atmosphere Delicious From start to finish it was fantastic! ALL OF IT! Even had the right music selection. 3 of us and we were all so happy with our meals. Pork loin, ravioli and naan nini 6 beverages appetizers and desserts. Attention to details and her palate of flavors is spot on.“

“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.“

“Nice wine and cheese pairings“

“Really good. It's pretty awesome to have a place where you can build your own charcuterie board.

Charcuterie board: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything was high quality and really good. The only critique is that the apples tasted really strongly of onions.

Black bean quesadillas w grilled chicken: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh man, so good! The chicken tasted like it came off the grill and the shells had a nice pizza oven-style char on them. Flavor was top notch

Lamb bolognese: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was really good too. You get a lot of meat and it's all very tender. The sauce isn't too flavorful but the meat is and they go well together

Key lime pie: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's tart and tastes like real key limes, but it's not bitter. The graham cracker crust is great with it“

“We recently had a very special family event at The Board Room, and it was absolutely amazing. The room, decor, and food were all fabulous! Working with the team to coordinate the event was so easy, and the staff that worked our party was attentive and friendly. Would 100% recommend!“

“Great selection of products and wonderful customer service!“

“My palette’s lack of sophistication prevents me from doing justice reviewing the menu items I enjoyed, but my belly is satisfied , and there were no leftovers; however, no matter the exquisite culinary notes I, likely, missed that a more refined pallet might’ve identified, there’s no way there was anything on a plate in the Chicago land area this evening that matched the atmosphere, service, and proud history shared by the staff and current owner, a descendant of the original owners who established the restaurant 123 years ago. A truly delightful experience that I intend to repeat as often as I’m able!“

“This cozy neighborhood gem was outstanding on a cold Saturday night. The hospitable and warm wait staff made it feel like we were family. Small booths and tables. Intimate. Got very noisy as it filled up midway into our meal. Tuna tapas and scallop dish simply amazing. Spanish flan desert was firm with small strawberries a nice addition. Plus we got a 15 percent discount for coming out on a super cold evening.“

“Really enjoyed the drinks and sandwiches here!!! Lisa was really great and very nice!!! 😊“

“We dined at Froggy’s on Valentine’s Day, and had a wonderful time! This was our first time ever here, even though Froggys has been here for over 40 years! The interior is warm and inviting and we were welcomed in and seated promptly. Our server Peter was terrific all night, personable, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was truly a delight! We had Beef Wellington and Chicken Cordon Blue. Both were delicious and our overall experience was really great. We highly recommend this place and we will be back!“

“Was there Thursday night we had Braised Short ribs and crispy Brussels sprouts was delicious service was great the bartender colie made me a special drink Wow will definitely be back“

“Mrs Brandy take care about our table. She is very kind of very nice lady. She helped us for choice , food she’s amazing lady. When I come again I would like to she take care about us.“
