meal with upscale feel. Proud owner Spiro and cheerful waitstaff like Teri provide old-world hospitality in a new facility that immediately feels like an old friend. Comprehensive menu includes hearty breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert choices

“Food was very good. Server was pleasant and available whenever we needed. Very nice atmosphere. Beer selection is fantastic.“

“Amazing service ! Bar tender Jimmy was absolutely great. My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick drink and soup before the movies and had a Good time thanks to him!“

“Absolutely love Tala. I firstly want to emphasize how friendly the staff is. They've helped me many times as a new-to-coffee drinker and are always very accommodating. The menu features many classics but their specials menu is where it's at, and rotates throughout the year. But their matcha is the best and has officially made me a matcha lover. Also love their small but delicious baked goods options, which include gluten free muffins! Great atmosphere, plenty of seating, and typically quiet atmosphere with easy parking, but can get quite busy at peak times, especially weekends.“

“Love it!!!, the food and service was amazing. Would go for it again. 10/10!“

“The Wicked Egg is really incredible. My wife and I tried this place for the first time over this past weekend and the dining experience was top shelf. Their menu is very intuitive, and sleek. The service was quick, gentle and friendly. The food? The food was the best. There was so much flavor and their homemade sauces complimented every flavor combination that was on both our plates. Extra shoutout towards the staff and they were SO friendly, and sent us on our satisfied ways with “to go” containers of their home made sauces. We really look forward to going back!“

“Atmosphere + fantastic food + excellent service = my Stevens experience. Whether in the cozy dining room or at the large oval bar, it's a great experience.

We’ll be back!“

“Stopped by with my daughter for lunch. The bartender Ashley was prompt in coming to the table and starting us with some drinks. The attentive service continued throughout the meal. Cheese fries were hot, crispy, and well seasoned. Smash Burger was juicy and prepared correctly. Chicago Dog on point, and the Italian Beef’s beef to bread ratio was perfect. Get it with cheese and giardiniera.“

“Food is always good as usual“

“Always a good experience at The Silo Restaurant. Very polite and professional staff. They get busy so be patient. Burger meal and pizza were great. Mushrooms are excellent. Lots of parking.
Yes my burger was served with the smiley face! It made me smile too! 🙂“

“So so so good! We got pizza and ice cream. Both were perfect! We are so excited for summer with many dinners here!“

“By far my favorite Korean restuarant, I swung by twice a week for a period of time, though I settled into once every week or two

Prices are quite cheap for Korean BBQ and flavor doesn't suffer for it either. The store-front is run by a family & they maintain professionality while being friendly

I always got the tteokbokki (rice cakes in spicy broth) and alternated between the bulgogi (beef dish) & bibimbap (assorted veg, beef, + egg over rice) and occasional splurged with the ojinguh bokkum (calamari dish) or the chapchae (cellophane noodles which are clear & chewy). The tteokbokki + one dinner dish typically ran me about $31.30 and fed me for close to 2 meals, side dishes were free

[Food pictures to be added when maps isn't bugging out]“

“How crazy is this. Going to Sunset Foods I saw this sign in the window of a storefront to the West. Fortunately I found BRIGHT BOWLS owned and operated by a Highland Parker named Lindsay. I can’t describe the ambiance and wonderful products. You need to experience on your own. My favorite so far is the LoveABowl. Enjoy on site or to go. Get Bright Butter, Bright Granola and Bright Smiles. Tell the staff Larry sent you. Hmmmm“

“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“

“A real authentic Mexican restaurant in Highland Park or in a lot of the North Shore is hard to find so I’m glad I found this one! Food is great, Service has been really friendly and attentive. These last few times I’ve gone. Enjoy sitting on the outdoor patio. Definitely coming back!!“

“Excellent food and great service every time I'm there!!!😋“

“Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful. Its my 1 stop for supplements“

“I’m so happy for that they’re bringing back their original taste, quality and also upgraded menu. New recipes are so yum. Really good. Our whole family loves this place. Also the owner lady’s service is lovely ☺️
If you craving something like sweet and spicy, I highly recommend this one. I love their Tteokbokki, original wings, my kids love their bibimbap, original chicken burger, fries and of course their boba drinks. I can promise their whole menu is so yum 😋.“

“Delicious 🤤 10/10 recommend!!“

“We picked Maevery last minute for our son's navy graduation dinner and it didn't dissapoint. They accommodated a last minute reservation and put us in a corner great table for easy catching up. Service was great (which we didn't experience in multiple fine dining restaurants downtown) and food was yummy and a good selection. .. they had awesome recommendations and treated us wonderfully! Didn't rush us and from 5-6pm we nearly had the place to ourselves before the dinner rush! Highly recommended by this out of town visiting family! Thank You (from Southern CA) We will be back if we are in Chicago again!“

“This place CJ‘s coffeehouse is the best donut shop I’ve ever gone to.. Dunkin’ Donuts is pathetic in comparison. their donuts are far more superior. There’s more Dunkin’ Donuts close by me, but I go all the way to Zion for my donuts.. kudos to CJ’s!!!!“

Actually meaty and fresh not one of those frozen smash burgers. Can't wait for my next visit. Hope to try something new, if I can convince myself to skip the burgers. And did I mention very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!“
