“Celebrated my birthday and enjoyed wonderful dinner with my husband!❤️“

“These guys accommodated my large group of 20 last minute as we could not extend the reservation we had at another private room karaoke. We did have some waiting involved while they cleaned the room but they have a nice bar menu. The room was really well cleaned and really spacious with leather booths and a large screen.

To use YouTube, they have to cast from a phone connected to their wifi (just tell your attendant to do this). You will also need to use Google translate via camera to read the large remote to control the TV volume and potentially an echo that seemed to occur with one of the microphones. It took my group a minute to figure this out but otherwise really fun place!“

“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

“Wow. I had the soup/stew. It was great. Don't miss the garden. Koi pond. Lester the owner has stories. This is where waiters and waitresses go.“

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We celebrated my mom’s birthday at Field House in Deerfield and it was honestly such a special experience from start to finish.

The atmosphere is beautiful—warm, inviting, and perfect for both an intimate family dinner or a bigger celebration. From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel so welcomed and taken care of, which made the night even more meaningful.

The food completely exceeded expectations. Everything we ordered was incredible—from the homemade cheese curds (a must!) to the nachos, and my personal favorite, the lobster gnocchi. The menu truly has something for everyone, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.

What really stood out was how accommodating and kind everyone was while we celebrated. They made my mom feel so special, and that’s something we’ll always remember.

If you’re looking for a place that delivers amazing food, great energy, and a genuinely memorable experience, Field House is it. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“LOVED this place. When we went, it wasn’t busy, so it was very chill and we got our food pretty quickly. The food itself was amazing and the pork belly in the ramen was so tender. Will definitely be bringing my friends here when I have the chance!“

“Modern Italian Restaurant with great service and food.“

“A great spot to hangout and grab a drink.“

“Amazing space, great bartenders, great vibes and awesome music!“

“Love outdoor options in the summer. Even with a crazy weekend of 56 Music Fix everything was on point with food and service. I loved seeing Chris step in and help anywhere and everywhere he needed to.“

““The Gallery made my wife’s surprise 75th birthday celebration absolutely unforgettable. Cecilia handled every detail with warmth and professionalism—helping me find a photographer, musician, flowers, and balloons that made the evening shine. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres followed by a beautifully paced five-course dinner, complete with honey-inspired cocktails (using our own honey!) and a honey mustard salad dressing the chef created just for us. The food, wine pairings, and service were all outstanding—friendly, polished, and perfectly timed. The room’s unpretentious elegance and local artwork created the ideal setting for a night full of laughter, connection, and joy. Mission accomplished!”“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“Inside, outside, early night, late night, no matter when or where, it’s always fantastic, every single time. The spicy feta is great, the chicken kabobs, martinis, coffees, have never had anything not fantastic!“

“The Cheeseburger on a Pretzel bun was very good and I would recommend it. I like their selection of German & Craft beers. I will be back at the Old Munich Tavern next Friday.“

“We came all the way from Naperville to eat here, and it was absolutely worth it. The burek and its varieties are incredibly fresh, and the owners are very kind. The taste of the burek was just like my grandmother’s, it almost made me cry. I haven’t had burek this good in a very long time. We also had the cevapi, and it tasted just like the ones I had at Mostar. No matter how far you are, you should definitely stop by this place.“

“Ethno Restaurant made my birthday truly magical! 💙

The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere with live music was incredible, and the entire team was exceptionally professional, making the evening feel so special.

A special thank you to Aman — 100% out of 100%! His service was outstanding. I never had to remind him of anything; he anticipated our needs, paid attention to every detail, and understood us without a word.

Thanks to the entire Ethno team, I now have one more beautiful memory that I will cherish for years to come. Besides, their team created a very nice video of our celebration!
Thank you for making my birthday so unforgettable! ❤“

“Stopped in today and was hoping to see the owner. I met him when Violet’s first opened. Maria was there today. I really enjoyed our conversation. 😀“

“spots in the area to watch a Bears game. The energy is perfect — TVs everywhere, great sound, and the crowd actually feels like a community.

The food is consistently great (way above typical bar food), and it’s obvious the ownership really cares about the place. You can tell in the details — the place is spotless, from the front tables to the bathrooms, and everything feels well run.

The bartenders are fast, friendly, and know their stuff, whether you’re ordering a draft, a cocktail, or just asking what’s good to eat. Service is always quick even when it’s packed, and you never feel ignored.

If you’re looking for a clean, well-run bar with great food, great service, and the perfect setup for a Bears Sunday, Filonek’s is the spot.“

“Great place for a local hangout with friends, family and even your furry companions. Chill atmosphere, fantastic service and suburban affordability!“

“This family run business is something special, the food is amazing, the atmosphere relaxed and the drinks delicious. It's The sort of place that becomes a go to for any and all occasion. Also we special-ordered a cake and it was the BEST Cake I have ever had.“

“Най готиното Българско заведение в Чикаго вече без конкуренция даже.Има и други места по Чикаго ама ги развалиха…не стават“

“First time going to this location for my birthday and everything was good. Our server Jeff was excellent. The appetizer and bread was good but my spaghetti bolognese could use a bit more flavor. The tiramisu was amazing. Overall, still had a good time with family and food.“

“We visited this amazing establishment last night and ordered the filet and the Manhattan strip for our entrées with a side of the mushrooms, and it was possibly one of the best steaks we had had. Our server and Jesse was wonderful, and when he wasn’t available home, there was another manager who came and brought items out, so there was no delay in service while he was attending another customer and socialized at the table. We dined outside on the patio underneath the heat lamp and lights. The Barn was the perfect atmosphere for our relaxing evening together. We were very pleased with all that we ordered as well as the service. We would highly recommend the Barn restaurant to others.“

“Never heard of this place but caught sight of it on the way to Superdawg. Looked like a good place for after lunch drink. Perfect corner bar. Pretty crowded actually but you can tell how friendly a place is when they make room for you. Great bar, everyone was happy, service was great. Lots of TVs and not overly loud. Great bar.“

“I miss this place. It was my regular spot in 2007 & 2008 before I moved back to California. Very diverse crowd of regulars from different walks of life, but everyone knew each other. Jim is awesome. If I could still give him my money for alcohol, I would.“
