“You truly cannot go wrong at Rootstock. I’ve never had a single item on their ever-rotating menu that wasn’t incredible. You can always count on their service, food, and wine to be absolutely on point. Whether dining solo at the bar, out with friends, or on a date - it’s the perfect spot for a cozy dinner.”

“Visited Chicago while on our anniversary trip and booked here on a whim. Loved everything from the interior and ambiance, the chance to see the masters at work at the chef’s counter, and of course the food. I still dream about that burger and these dishes we had. I remember the taste of the white salsify with mussel — I learned that day what salsify was. food: 5/5 no notes. their tubs filled with pickled goodness were so fun! everything was delish! service: all the staff was great, our waitress was attentive and efficient. she left us alone and came over when called. the chefs were very cool! we got to watch them while at the counter and they gave us some stories. they even comped us for our anniversary dessert and my fiance still thinks about their ice cream LOL atmosphere: sexy, moody, intimate. all the good things of a date night. and a great playlist!”

“We’ve been coming to Winestyles since before it moved from Park Ridge and have always had a great experience. Wine recommendations are on point, food is good, and staff is always welcoming. I’ve attended many events here and they don’t disappoint. Emily always remembers us and my wine preferences. So lucky to have Winestyles nearby.”

Their wine club is a fantastic value, offering great perks at a very reasonable price. Tannins is our go-to spot for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend! Gregg & Kim”

“One of the best things about this locally owned business, is that it is locally owned! Everything you want in a wine store that you don't always find, a great selection, very knowledgeable staff, great accompaniments like snacks and gifts, and a nice clean place that is extremely welcoming. It's a great place to stop in the summertime and enjoy a cold glass of white sitting on the patio and in the winter time enjoying a nice glass of red sitting in the tasting room. They have lots of things that are not easy to find and what you would consider a gem! They pride themselves on having a unique selection different from the big box shops! There are price points for everybody and everybody will feel comfortable shopping here. Did I mention these are local owners and they are in the store almost every day, a little gem in our town!”

“I stopped by today on my flight home. I don't really drink but I like playing the piano. I think it's awesome that they have one there I could play. It didn't have a bench but I asked a bar tender and he gave me one. Sat down and played all I wanted. Really nice people around to hang out with”

“We dined at Seasons 52 after the Easter Brunch had concluded. While the restaurant was really crowded, we were seated within 10-15 minutes of our reservation time. Our server was friendly and attentive, as well as helpful in making suggestions about menu items. We enjoyed the shrimp flatbread and crab stuffed mushrooms as appetizers. My husband's Chilean sea bass and my wood grilled salmon were both perfectly prepared. In addition to the sides which accompanied each of our meals, we shared the Brussels sprouts. Our meal was capped off with a flight of six desserts which we took home .”

“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.”

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!”

“This place doesn't stick around for this long just,for no reason.☺️ Let me start saying that the service from beginning to the end was excellent. Driving up they have complimentary valet parking! My reservation was for 1:30pm as the day was totally booked, but this was a mid day lunch. We were seated right away and the hostesses were very friendly young adults. We were seated in a section with a very jovial, friendly, and aiming to please waiter name Gustavo. He was a great waiter everything we asked for he could explain or brought back quickly all of the food we chose was excellently cooked very tasty and filling the atmosphere was cozy, friendly, and easy to converse in. The menu has great options and the sides are big enough for two. It was a great experience all around and will be going back again.”

“In a town known for great steak restaurants, EJs, is my favorite. Their steaks and seafood are outstanding, their sides and desserts wonderful, and their wine list never disappoints. Throw in a cozy atmosphere with wood paneling and the smell of the fireplace. The best part is the service. From the moment you arrive until you get back in your vehicle their service is unmatched with a staff of professionals who have been there for years. I highly recommend EJs and look forward to our next visit!”

“Maybe not usual but we were forgotten. Got our wine and then no one ever came back!. They were not crowded either. Finally we called someone over, about 35 minutes of sitting. The manager came over and was really apologetic, comped us the wine and offered another glass free. I've been there several times. The food is consistently very good. Usually the service is fine. I enjoy going there in part because of good food and close and plenty of free parking.”

“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.”

“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.”

Tribute is not way off the beaten path located across the street from the Villa Park Historical museum and the Illinois Prairie Path. When you're inside Tribute you just feel at home and you get a neighborly backyard party kind of feeling. The staff is super friendly and they have a fun trivia night on Wednesdays. There's a spacious outdoor patio and a cozy banquet/ meeting room with floor to ceiling windows that makes you feel like your outdoors. Tribute is a great little place!”
