“This was the best night out!! We went out with friends and shared multiple dishes (and so much wine.) The food was outstanding. The wine was so flavourful and we just kept ordering more. The Black Grape Crostini was probably the best I've ever had. Go here for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with great food and team!!!!!“

“Amazing food! Delicious drinks! Beautiful views. Fantastic staff! Highly recommend!!“

“WineStyles in Norwood Park is a hidden gem!
It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a glass (or two) of wine in a cozy, welcoming space. The staff is always friendly, and the wine club is such a fun way to discover new favorites. Whether you’re stopping in with friends or picking up a bottle, this place never disappoints. Definitely a spot you should check out!“

“What an incredible experience. We thought a bubble party would be fun for the kids but I think the adults enjoyed it just as much. Anastasia is a true professional. This is really performance art as much as it is entertainment. The party was a couple weeks ago and I still hear about it from kids and their parents. We will look into this again for certain. Cannot recommend enough!“

“Such a nice wine shop! Went to the thanksgiving Wine tasting and it was 30 wines for $25 and a fantastic savory spread.
Very nice clean bathrooms
Great ambience
Would recommend
Wines in the wine tasting ranged in price from like $15-$80 and they had some very interesting limoncellos too.“

“Amazing time and they have karaoke on Fridays! It was super fun!😁🥰“

“Wonderful wine shop and wine bar. I thought there was only patio seating, but there’s an entire back room full of tables. Great spot to enjoy a few glasses of wine and some small bites or bring a bottle home. Chatted with the owner for a bit and he was very friendly. Will for sure be making this a regular spot.“

“Seasons 52 is a wonderful restaurant. I am never disappointed going there. We were celebrating a birthday and they went above and beyond to help us celebrate. The food, service, and atmosphere is wonderful. I highly recommend Season 52 for any occasion or just a nice dinner out.“

“If you are looking for a really special food experience with a cozy casual atmosphere, this is an awesome place to visit. The chef, Ms Dani Kaplan, is the daughter of one of my closest bff. OMG! Each bite is a tastebud delight! And the bar - so special! If you want a true, high-quality, Chicago, eating experience don’t miss this place!!!!“

“We held our daughter's engagement party at Neat on Saturday night - and we were so very pleased. The staff was absolutely amazing, the room was beautiful and the food was delicious! I can’t thank their team enough!!“

“This was our second time dining at Positano’s and it was just as fabulous! The food here is superb, the wait staff are very attentive and we love the photos on the wall! The Seabass was to die for and the grilled seafood appetizer was divine! Our only regret is that we live in New York and cannot be frequent patrons of this wonderful establishment! Mille Grazie!!“

“Last week I hosted a private party for 20 people. We had drinks, dinner, dessert and it was all delicious! The service was outstanding and Eileen went out of her way to ensure the event was beautifully planned. It was everything I could have asked for. Thank you!“

“j'ai passé le meilleur moment ici. La nourriture était si bonne. J'y suis allé avec mes filles après le travail. Maintenant je vais dans ce café presque tous les jours ❤️“

“It was an amazing experience. It was my 15 year wedding anniversary and they decorated the table and left a handwritten card, then to top that off brought a dessert platter with Happy 15 year Anniversary written on it with 3 different desserts, they went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!“

“Had dinner on 12/17/2023 service and food was excellent. Gluten free menu available.“

“This place is a real gem not to be missed. It’s unpretentious, with approachable knowledgeable staff. The prices are unbeatable and they always have some fun or funky wines to try. I love the monthly deep read nights, the atmosphere and music is always well curated. I just hope to get into one of their classes, but they sell out quick!“

“Excellent in every way! Meatball appetizer was superb!! Carbonerra was authentically made. Friendly, efficient service. Don't forget the Gelato and bread pudding. We will return!“

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“Great food and service! Warm welcoming atmosphere.“

“Didn’t exactly buy anything from here I gave the staff a physical copy of my resume and they accepted! I am looking for a job opportunity hopefully this is the place where I’m considered I felt welcome here and great atmosphere the staff were super nice! Absolutely a great experience!“

““Flirted With My Tastebuds”

Tribute didn’t just feed me they seduced me. The BLT? Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, and toast so perfect it deserves its own fan club. Onion rings? Golden halos of happiness. Birria fries? A glorious, cheesy mess I’d gladly ruin a shirt for. Drinks? Smooth enough to make bad decisions taste good. Patio vibes? String lights, sunset skies, and the kind of energy that makes you “accidentally” stay for hours.

Go hungry, leave smitten.“

“Pablo, our waiter, was exceptional. During our first visit here, he warmly welcomed us and showcased impressive knowledge of the menu, even extending to items not listed. He encouraged us to customize our meal to our liking, and he certainly delivered! For starters, we chose the grilled calamari and Rockefeller oysters. The calamari was tender and impeccably cooked, steering clear of the typical rubbery texture. Opting for balsamic instead of oil was a perfect choice. The oysters were superb, not overwhelmed with cheese. I ordered the veal picatta from the menu, expecting a thin slab, but was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. The angel hair pasta complemented the dish well, although I could have done without the mushrooms – a personal preference, which I should've mentioned. Nonetheless, if you're a mushroom enthusiast, they give you plenty. My boyfriend ordered off-menu, enjoying the Zuppe di Pesce with shrimp, clams, extra calamari, and rigatoni Diablo style in red sauce. It was absolutely amazing and satisfied his taste without being overly spicy. To accompany the meal, I had a glass of the house Chardonnay, which was light and buttery. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't typically drink wine, enjoyed it. Our heartfelt thanks to Pablo and the owner/chef Giovanni for an outstanding dining experience, both in terms of the meal and the service.“

“The name says it all! How do you convert a modest wedding into a more memorable experience? Have J. Fleming’s cater your event! John provided bar, great food, great service, at a value! Try his restaurant as well!“

“We have visited Cooper Hawks in Morton Grove several times, sometimes for drinks and appetizers and sometimes for dinner and drinks, we have never had a bad experience. Great food and drinks, but we have been able to experience the same waitress Lori P. She is the best great personality food and drinks fast…… she is totally awesome. Thank you Lori for making our experience at Morton Grove Cooper Hawks great! See you next week.“

“Had an issue with the appetizers. The waitress was outstanding. She took very good care of our table of 8 and made everything right. Things go wrong, but it is what you do to correct it that makes all the difference. This restaurant is family owned and understand customer service.“

“My wife and I visited for our second time and it was top notch. The bartenders are very friendly and the food was delicious (highly recommend the braised short ribs). Will definitely be back!“

“A delivery app made a mistake with my order. LaBarra took charge and the general manager personally delivered 2 delicious pizzas to make up for the outside apps mistake. Above and beyond! Thank you!“

“It was a late night dinner and we were looking for someplace good and luckily Jameson's was still open. Coffee was good and we were very happy w the pork chops, chicken philly and chicken club sandwiches. That being said my salad lacked tomatoes and cucumbers. My chops were advertised to be center cut loin and I got one loin and one rib chop.“

“Nice dinning room, and great staff. Every dish was great tasting. We had a party of 12 and they did great.“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“
