“I wanted to give this place 5 stars! The food was spectacular, I’m still thinking about that goat cheese appetizer. The reason for the 4 stars is because the busser took the appetizer and our bread/olive oil away while we were still eating it. I asked her not to and she just walked away. We weren’t even half way done with the dish. It made it uncomfortable while we sat there with a completely empty table just waiting for our entrees we had just ordered right before she took everything off our table. Otherwise the food and drinks were great. Our waiter was very pleasant and attentive!”
“One of the best Sushi restaurants in Chicago !
I recently dined at Yama Sushi Bar and it was outstanding. The ambiance was inviting and elegant. The sushi was incredibly fresh and expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of flavors and presentation. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. This is a must-visit for any sushi lover. I can't wait to return!”

“We visited Chicago and were looking for authentic food and this is definitely the spot. We had live music ? & the manager was so nice and polite the bagels we received were so delicious I've never had such flavor full bagels we tried the onionbagel, cheddar& jalapeno bagel everything bagel & rosemary. If you are inside search of good food and friendly atmosphere I highly recommend this place.
We will be back soon!
I believe the manager name was Armando such an amazing person.
Thank you Armando”
“Delicious breakfast sandwiches, great coffee, friendly staff. I enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back”
“Drove 45 minutes and well worth the trip. I couldn’t choose…so I bought quiche, key lime, chocolate chess, chocolate cream and pecan pies. All fantastic, but the pecan is my absolute fave. Go here. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t!”
“LOVE this place. Been a huge fan of the girls and their baked goods for some time. Everything that I've tasted has been phenomenal- currently obsessed with their savory biscuit and their sweet corn scone! Not only are their baked goods to die for but their custom cakes are hands down some of the best cake I've ever had. They were able to create my birthday cake for my 30th birthday and it was a knockout. I showed them a photo of something similar they did back in the day and they nailed it. My guests could not stop raving about it. Love that they are here in Oak Park!”
“This is not the first time that we have been to this restaurant, but it is one of the best experiences we've had. Really delicious and interesting cocktails, and a marvelous menu of carefully prepared foods. I think my only reservation was that they were not good at timing when things arrived at the table, and a few things arrive too soon at the beginning; but all we had to do was talk to the waiter, and the rest of the meal was paced beautifully and efficiently. The place is not super elegant, but we actually like that very much; it had a relaxed atmosphere that suited us perfectly we were celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary, they brought us a delicious cheesecake. We don't like cheesecake, but we like this one, Light and flavorful.”

“Great outdoor space but too hot for us when we went. The eggplant appetizer was okay but a bit tough. The meat ball sandwich came with cheese but it was cold though it was supposed to be melted. The lasagna was delicious and so was the spinach ravioli. I'll try it again someday.”
“We were indifferent to Mora when it first opened several years ago. The food was ok but not great. We went back for the first time in years a few weeks ago and were absolutely delighted by everything. We returned on Sunday afternoon and continue to be bowled over inspite of the noisy laughter coming from a couple of women in a corner booth.”
“Great Drinks and Amazing Atmosphere. Our go to spot!”

“This new Thai restaurant in Oak Park is my new favorite! Can't wait to go back and try another dish!!!”
“Just a prideful brewery as I describe it... from the overall vibe and appearance of the brewery, to the quality throughout the beers, and to the service... would stop back here anyway when I'm in the area again.”
“The food was really delicious and it is a big plus being able to get healthy, vegan choices that taste good. Everything we had was amazing!! I so recommend it if you want to eat healthy or just introduce yourself to healthy choices. Our server also was so nice!”
“We always enjoy visiting with Bill and enjoying their delicious dishes (especially those crazy good wood fire pizzas!) Amazing!”
“Great rooftop, incredibly kid / family friendly with attentive and very friendly service. There's something for everyone on the menu be it food or beverage too!”
“Beautiful ambiance, attentive, friendly service and good food. Perfect place for family, friends and date nights. One of the Historic buildings in Oak Park.”
“Very good place to have dinner ! Nice art work to view on the wall and the tequila sunrise was super delicious & tall !”
“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.”
“Very relaxing environment and excellent sushi choices. Great saki as well.”
“Large selection of ales on tap.
The hotel should advertise the use of its car park for the pub… seems to be on same premises.
What was odd, was the lack of pub atmosphere..”

“I’ve been going to Addis for the past 7 years and rarely skip a day… What drew me in was the very best tasting pour over that I’ve ever had and what keeps me coming back is the family feeling: from the friendly crew behind the counter to the local residents who make Addis a must have part of their daily routine, this place is well worth a try. I guarantee that once you try Addis coffee, their amazing waffles, avocado toast, Ethiopian chechebsa, turmeric lattes etc… you will be hooked!”
“I have been coming here for the past few months and Passion Eats has never let me down.I am always greeted with a warm welcome and professionalism from Shakira and she does an amazing job with the orders and call-ins.She always makes sure my order is visually and verbally correct every time and asks if anything else is needed before I leave.I had a previous Soul Food spot before but I have not been back to it since trying Passion Eats lol.The taste and value here is really unbeatable, especially in this economy.
I have tried the majority of the menu and love everything that I have ordered.You get so much food for what you pay and I have never been disappointed with The Portion Sizes.You can't go wrong with their Amazing Fried Chicken,Baked Chicken, CatFish or Chops which are my go to for Dinners. The main sides that I get is Dressing which is my fav, mac n cheese and Yams and It is a must that I come here every week or 2.I love supporting local businesses, especially when the respect and effort is always on display.My Pork Chops today were cooked to Perfection and I have to give Major Props to the Chef Henry who always does a great job and is very nice every time we have spoken.He takes pride in his work and his effort is always appreciated.I look forward to my next visit. Thanks Again”
“I went here with my sister and my puppy. I got a caramel latte and my sister got the Mexican culture. Definitely gonna go here to study. it’s so cute! The staff was also so nice!”
“I just tried a mini pumpkin pie that was served at a wedding a few days ago. The pie was delicious and the crust was still flaky and perfect - and that’s after a few days! I can’t wait to take my family to the shop. As a mother to a daughter with Down Syndrome, I absolutely love supporting businesses like this. Thank you for creating job opportunities for people like my daughter!”
“Very welcoming environment. Savory monkey bread was delicious!”
“This is my second time to eat here, the fried rice is not expensive but they give no soy sauce and only 4:shrimp in the order of fried rice, I failed to mention the first time I ordered, now the second time it is the same, the only way I would order again, I would mention this and see what they say; it was good and their egg rolls are the best---”

“I enjoy a Beach Club here about once a month. Staff is always friendly and the facility is always clean. I always take out, I don’t know about their delivery service. Couple parking spots in the back of the building although they’re often full.
Parking: There is typical city street pay parking and a few spots behind jimmy John’s. The spots behind are usually full during busy hours but i get an open spot all the time during non peak hours.
Kid-friendliness: The food and environment are perfect for kids.”
“Heavenly, the wonderful gal at the drive up window on Madison in Oak Park is amazing! My 3.5 year old grandson knows her by name and makes me roll down the car window so he can say "hi" to her.

Kid-friendliness: Kind, nice employees!”

“Used to have the delivery but really takes too long. Picked up the food. Meatball sandwich and pasta. Love the options for the pasta. Just use pickup.
Vegetarian options: Offers many toppings for pizza and pastas. Also various items that are meat free.”
“The front of the house staff and the food envisioned by Chef Laura and well executed by the talented kitchen staff are outstanding. Simply outstanding.simple yet intesting eats. Whitney is beyond attentive to his guests' beverage interests. "George" Harrison, Jack and the under 21 staff are eager, respectful, and engaging. What a treasure in this neighborhood spot, with beyond just the nearby geographically located closeby fan base. Who's going to gift me with a card to Kettlestrings Tavern for Christmas? "8 days a week" left until December 25”
