“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“The tour was amazing! If you’re lucky enough to get Chris, you won’t be bored or ill-informed! I love the sip and stroll style of this tour and it gives a personalized experience as well as a small town feel. I haven’t shut up about it! It’s a great gap filler in the day downtown, whether you’re local or visiting! One of the best spur of the moment plans!“

“We’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.“

“Being from the suburbs traveling downtown can be an experience. This particular experience made our day. Moving our daughter into DePaul we came upon the owner of Red Light chicken who gave us a few pointers in parking near his establishment, after taking the time to help us find a spot he happily welcomed us with a free chicken sandwich which I’m happy to report was delicious. It was nice meeting you tonight and I’ll be certainly stopping by again - Fries are a game changer to!!!“

“Went to celebrate my mom's birthday, and let me tell you, we all had an incredible time. Everything was superb, the atmosphere of the place was amazing, food was delicious and drinks were roocking.
The best part was our waiter, Carlos G. He made our experience truly wonderful, he was very attentive and super friendly. I would definitely go back.“

“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“Yawl have the best sauce in Chicago! it never fails my family! Happy Holidays from My Family to Yours!“

“Very good. Our service was excellent we had Maidi as a waitress excellent and the bus boys were efficient and helpful Eating there is an enjoyable time.“

“We’re FoF, Fans of Fiya. We’ve been there a zillion times. The last time we were there, which was this past Friday night, we listed all the people we had introduced to the restaurant. We counted a dozen. Food is always good. We like the lively vibe and love the quaint back patio in the warmer months. 🌟Obviously, we highly recommend it.🌟. Enjoy!!“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“Everything is delicious! Everyone is courteous and it's very clean and comfortable. Bring the whole family if your craving flavors. Come here often. Chicken is delicious. Chocolate cake out of this world!!!!“

“Celebrated my wife’s birthday here with three other families, as we were in Chicago between baseball tournaments. Not only was Coda di Volpe able to accommodate a same day reservation for a large party, but they went above and beyond, from personalizing menus with a birthday wish, to adding a special touch on dessert. With four teenage boys in tow, the menu provided ample carbs and comfort for them while we enjoyed a broad sample of the offerings - all were very happy with their meals! Cocktails and wine selection was also on the mark. Kudos to Jeremy and his staff. We came all dressed in white and he told us he knew he wanted to do something special for our party… they knocked it out of the park! Looking forward to coming back to Chicago and making a beeline for this restaurant… a no-brainer.“

“Service was great. Food was excellent. Unfortunately, they could not accept our gift card. The gift card is valid and has never been used. My guess is the server fat fingered it or typed it incorrectly. Either way, it made the experience a more expensive and soured an otherwise enjoyable brunch.“

“no frills, always fast. my first choice for a north side late night burger, no question. earplugs available upon request for outdoor dining because their patio is located directly under the train, which should give you a decent idea of the overall vibe.“

“The food and staff were amazing! Such a friendly staff who were extremely welcoming and attentive. I have never ordered ‘seconds’ at a restaurant until today! The tostadas were out of this world and the shrimp taco was delicious. A must try!“

“Excellent service very clean very delicious food well recommended 100%“

“The food was great. The wait staff was courteous and professional.“

“My experience at Torchio was unforgettable. Bebe my waitress was attentive and well mannered as well as all the staff was. The food never missed, I was super impressed by all the dishes I was served. The chef who created these dishes is well mastered and knows how turn food into an experience. I have a high standard when it comes to food such as freshness, quality of ingredients and taste and the team at Torchio exceeded my expectation. I will definitely be back and highly recommend!“

“good food and good service“

“A buttery, crunchy crust loaded with chunky tomato sauce and layers of gooey cheese and sausage. It’s a fork-and-knife kind of meal—and worth every bite. Heavy but incredibly flavorful.“

“Food was amazing!!!!!! I will definitely be returning!!! Big portions, bursting with flavor, the steak was very juicy and tender. Best arepa, ever. Delicious!!!!😋 The owners are so friendly and welcoming as well. LOVED IT.“

“Atmosphere and service were on point! A must go to when in Chicago“

“$20 bottomless wings on Monday and $10 pizzas for happy hour (5-7 PM). Great deal! Amazing service! Did not get the waiter's name but we loved his positive energy!

Small caveat is that the wing sauces were sauced inconsistently. Some batches were super saucy, others a bit drier. Standout flavors were honey miso and truffle parm.“

“excellent food - we both the spring rolls and the egg rolls. the crab fried rice and vegetable salad with rice noodles were also really tasty.“

“I have gone to Andros Taverna for many years now where I am never disappointed and always impressed with the service, the quality of food and ingredients, the atmosphere and the passion in general. Chef Doug Psaltis is a true expert and artist performing at the highest levels. The gyros are the best, best gyros in Chicago by far, the seafood world class, the homemade bread and pita are incredible. The foods and meats are cooked over wood fire, wood fire grilled. We had our daughters baptism catered from here which was excellent assortment of Greek food - this is a Greek restaurant you will go to for many years to come.“

“Great restaurant with delicious food and the best people working there.“

“I tried the pizzas last night. We had 4 different kinds and they were honestly soooo delicious! Can’t wait for you to open! This is GREAT pizza!!!“

“Such a good meal for lunch today! Portion sizes were great, our waitress was wonderful, & the food was soooo yummy!! 😋 We will definitely be back!“

“The food, drinks, service and recommendations were excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, and everything from the Oaxacan tlayuda to the Cornish hen with mole and the margaritas made with mezcal from the owners’ hometown in Oaxaca made for a great meal.“

“Great atomosphere cool concept like how they call out the alcohol and food orders when Ready. The pimento Mac was great flavor, as was the mashed and gravy. Very unique to have boneless breast thighs wing and leg portions battered and fried. Was very good. I just think the sauces were way to pricey at $1.45 a sauce wow even 99 cents seems a lot but would feel better lol. At least give one with the order or reduce the sauce price. But overall they need to spread this concept into more areas for sure out side like in the suburbs“

“loved everything about it!“

“I thought the Olive Oil Cake would be weird, turns out it is delicious. i will definitely come back for it. We have a great breakfast. Everything just so delicious..“

“This place is the coolest bar I have been to in a long time, hip and fun but not pretentious. They paid attention to every detail when building and designing. The white marbel bar has clean lines and looks fresh. All of the hardware finishes look sharp and clean. The patio is large and inviting with a fire place and plenty of tables to sit at. The drink menu is creative and refreshing and the staff is kind and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this gem of a bar. I am excited to hang out this fall on the patio by the fireplace with good drink in My hand.“

“1st time here. Ordered the beef and chicken beef and it was great. Them fries I ate them all they didn't even get soggy. The bread on these beefs don't break down easily got a nice crunch and soft inside. That cheese pull was goodie too. Great sandwich.“

“A great new spot for brunch! My husband and I went and it was busy but we were able to sit right away. I'm gluten free and I LOVE that everything is labeled with an easy to read GF symbol so it helps me identify what I can and can't eat. The gluten free buttermilk pancakes were excellent. My husband had the corn beef skillet and he said his bloody mary was great as well! We'll definitely be back! Felisa was super friendly and made sure to answer my questions about gluten precautions.“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

“I had an outstanding experience with Day’s Hot Chicken in Chicago. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top notch. We ordered through DoorDash, and when we called the restaurant, they were incredibly generous. Since we loved the food so much, they went above and beyond by adding extra items like mac and cheese and additional fries. It was a thoughtful gesture that truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend Day’s Hot Chicken for anyone craving delicious food and exceptional service.“

“Great food/drinks Great service Great prices We will be back.“

“Nice place, wonderful burger and good bar selection. Totally disagree with the credit card surcharge, though - no restaurant with $20 burgers should charge guests the comission!“

“LOVE Gemini. Their bottomless has a great variety, and my food has been amazing every time!“

“Really good and fresh sushi at great prices. Love this place.“

“A must see if you go to Chicago. Burgers are the best in the city. Great vibes.“

“I finally got a chance to check out and it did NOT disappoint. The burrito is SO good; tasty, filling, a little spicy, and truly the perfect size. The green salsa it comes with was also a really good spice level for me. I can’t wait to try more on the menu!“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

“Can't ingest cow dairy so good snacks & desserts are limited. So glad I found BBP&B for their vegan options, namely February's vegan raspberry pie, March's vegan blueberry mint (I know it sounds a bit odd, but you get this extra hint of freshness from the mint and not a mint taste competing with the fruit. I don't even like mint), and the vegan ginger molasses cookies. You have to pre-order vegan pies >48 hours in advance and it is definitely worth it.“
