“Pure green, is amazing I went opening day! The vibe inside is purely amazing. It’s chill and welcoming. They staff was great while ordering, helped us with recommendations, and what’s in each smoothie and why they recommend it, I got a smoothie it was called coco skinny, it was amazing!! I didn’t even get a couple sips in before my 5 year old stole it and ran off, she’s so picky that you know if she drinks it it’s fabulous! (I did get it back and we shared) but this place is just fabulous. If you’re looking for a great place you found it! I can’t wait to go back and try the açaí bowls! Those looked amazing! I saw other peoples orders! Everything on the menu looks so good! This will most definitely be my go to place while walking around shopping. You just have to check it out.”

“I recently attended a special wine Tastemaker dinner with my significant other so this was the review for this experience. We were scheduled to arrive at 6:30 pm for the event so we were a few minutes early and there were additional guests waiting to be checked in. The front desk had 3 attendants which didn't greet anyone, they were busy looking at the computer screen and made guests wait for which seemed like a really long time without acknowledgement. After finally waiting a few minutes we FINALLY got checked in, however we still had to wait for a table even through other people coming in through the door checked in immediately and were seated very quickly. I did not understand how the checking and preparation for this event was organized or even at all. When we did check in, I had to confirm yet again with the attendant that we were here for the Tastemaker event. Then again we waited a few more minutes which seemed quite long even though other people were already seated and served their wine. The overall event was wonderful and great with excellent tasting and pairings. I would strongly suggest the checkin process to be better organized especially since I was also a VIP Opentable member and go to Ruth Chris frequently. I may reconsider not attending these future events for the way that this whole checking process was handled.”

“They did our recent gender reveal cake and knocked it out of the park! Not only did it look exactly like the design idea I shared with them, but it tasted incredible. I literally liked this cake better than my own wedding cake, haha!”

“I went to Wok n Fire for my first time tonight and got to experience it a little differently with it being the first day you are able to dine indoors since COVID. Our waitress, Stacey was absolutely amazing! She gave personal recommendations and even traded out my girlfriends wine that she didn’t like. Great food and delicious!”

“The General Manager in Hoffman Estates Panera is one of the best I have ever seen. His name is Brian. He is constantly on the go, working the register, making drinks, cleaning tables, helping people as needed. Very approachable. We frequent this store regularly. Kudos Brian!”

“Bamboo Spoon has such a great selection of things I never make it back to try them all .. They do Frozen Yogurt, many flavors with lots of stuff to put it in, they just added a premium high milkfat ice cream .. they do organic smoothies and lots of different bubble teas .. they also have the 'protien' so that one could go there with people on a couple of diets, ones that didn't care and some kids and everyone would find something they liked... And something they would like to try next time! They are happy to customize for you! Everything is clean and well managed, and everyone is pleasant. I stop there regularly .. Nice stop after dinner in the Arboretum or after a massage at Elements next door! :)”

“the best and nicest baristas and the quality of the coffee is absolutely amazing, the atmosphere of the place is cozy and welcoming. Jazmin is extremely friendly and we always look forward to every visit.”

“Loved the 80 flavor option and the ice cream was delicious, but there should be a sign posted that are TWO different prices based on premium favors, etc- nothing noted, indicated on cases, mentioned by employees or posted. Buyer beware 😉”

“Excellent fresh made sandwiches and the chili was also very good. Very friendly and accommodating people behind the counter. Will definitely return.”

“We came tonight for the first time for my husband’s birthday. Food was so good. Service was excellent! The cook even came out to ask us how our food was. We will be back!”

“The food was great, service was excellent! The atmosphere is happy and the Magician made it even more enjoyable. Definitely going to become regulars.”

“I love BeaUnique! Everytime I have family and friends coming to Elgin, I take them here. I hope it becomes an Elgin classic because the people and food make every meal an experience! You can feel the love that goes into what they do.”

“variety of Indian breads, loved the Onion Kulcha! incredibly delicious taste and levels of spicyness are offered with every dish! no more spice overwhelm which can ruin the subtle tastes in Indian cuisine. courteous staff, gracious and available servers. Loved Aloo & cauliflower dish My partner enjoyed robust Dal dish which had veggie tidbits to round out flavor. we loved the food here. Best Indian fare in the area!”

“I picked up food tonight and was fabulous to say the least. Also,.while I waited the staff was friendly and hospitable.”

“We celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Medieval Times and she absolutely loved it! The food was hot when served and very good. The entertainment was fantastic from start to finish — engaging, exciting, and perfect for all ages.

The venue was very clean overall, and the staff truly stayed in character the entire time. They were excellent at reading the crowd and interacting in a way that made the experience even more fun and memorable.

Highly recommend for a special occasion!”

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.”

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!”

“Vibrant Fusion is my go-to spot for fresh, high-protein smoothies and bowls. Everything tastes natural, never overly sweet, and you can tell the ingredients are real and high quality. The energy, service, and flavors are always on point. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful dinner. The service and the food were outstanding. We had our favorite server, who goes above and beyond to make the evening personal and extra special! From wine and food suggestions to flowers on the table for a birthday celebration, everything was perfect!”

“Latin Mediterranean infused restaurant. Fresh ingredients. Unique recipes. Clean and spotless atmosphere. Wonderful Martinez Cup appetizers. Great Hangover soup. Incredible Lemon Chicken with delicious veggies. Yummy Baklava fresh crunchy. Would definitely make the drive out of my way to come back again.”

“I wanna give the BIGGEST 5 star review to Dom! Seriously he was the best help I could ever have, he was very kind, calm, and understanding. He showed that he truly cared about his customers. The pizza tasted super yummy and Dom recommended me a pizza that is now my favorite! I will 100% be coming back soon! He deserves a raise ASAP (please consider giving him the raise he deserves)!”

“This is a five star overall and in every category rating. After reading reviews on all sites I thought I’d give Joe’s a try. Their site indicated fresh ingredients, fresh dough, and outstanding service. It’s true! This is not a chain…as in everything tastes the same, pizza. The sauce is fresh and not overly salted or seasoned; you taste the tomatoes, the sausage, the green peppers and the onions! It was risky because I ordered this for New Year’s Eve for a group, (even tho I’d never had it) but all loved it. I had to laugh thinking about others’ reviews that note it tastes different-that’s because they haven’t had fresh ingredient pizza in so long. The owners (I assumed) were fun and kind and the cozy/small pick-up makes you feel like you are in another country-Italy. Pizza costs more these days, and they prefer cash, so be prepared for that; but it was worth it. Thank-you to Joe’s for the great New Year’s Pizza! Grateful, MAC”

“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back”
