“Awesome people and service and great food“

“I’ve been going to this bar for years. I love it. I was sad when I moved away from this bar, but I keep coming back. The drinks, the bartenders cooks and all the people are fantastic. There is a great place to hang out or plan a party.“

“Superior Service! Our waiter was totally cool & patient. Food as always was great. love the rib eye.“

“We visited The Graceful Ordinary in downtown St. Charles, IL, on a warm late September day. We had a wonderful experience at Graceful Ordinary, one that's hard to match outside of Chicago. From its comfortable yet elegant design to the unique menu, every detail was carefully considered. The food was delicious and thoughtfully presented, and the service was excellent. We were fortunate to visit on a very warm day towards the end of September. We sat on the fully screened-in veranda and enjoyed the scenery in comfort. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a unique, elevated dining experience; no matter where you're traveling from, it's worth the trip.“

“We had a wonderful lunch and our server, Mia was just as friendly as could be! Absolutely loved everything about this place! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon! :)“

“Picture of kid behind the bar on your website is not good. Great restaurant though!!!“

“Tonight I decided to venture out and try this restaurant my family has been RAVING about called Al’s Cafe in Downtown Elgin! I sat upstairs and had this lovely server named Marcie! She recommended the monthly special called “Moonstruck” and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The ambience, service and food is unmatched! If you are looking for a great night out I highly recommend Al’s Cafe!“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“Great food! Great service! The veggie skillet was the best I've ever had. Loaded with fresh veggies and cooked perfect. The pancakes were light and fluffy. Everything had a fresh taste like I made it in my own kitchen. Five star establishment!“

“Toni was our server , did a great job. She was friendly, and we needed for nothing. Food was awesome too.“

“Service was awful! Our server, Joselyn, slammed down the glasses of water 5 minutes after we were seated, took our order and never saw her again until she slammed the bill down at our table. We saw her for a total of 3 minutes in the 45 minutes we were there. Unfortunately for Joselyn, her tip reflected her poor service. I tip 20-25% for good service, she lost out and made the restaurant less desirable to return. However, the burger was juicy and delicious, the macaroni and cheese was outstanding!“

“Being a celiac person, I love that they have options for me and I feel safe ordering, knowing they take care in preparing the meal. The food is very tasty, I love that I can get cheese curds.“

“Amazing staff and excellent food that leaves your mouth bursting with flavor. Will definitely be back.“

“So if I order a cocktail “neat” with rocks on the side I am sure he would charge again for the rocks. Better yet….just include the $2 rocks charge in the drink itself ….don’t put a separate $2 charge for ICE!“

“Great place to visit with family, or for date night. Love the food and atmosphere!“

“We just had our Mom's 90th surprise birthday party here. The staff was fabulous! A big thank you to Mary, Sofia and Romy in particular. They helped usher her in, they refrigerated the cake for us, they took care of everything! I highly recommend Bennigan's for a party.“

“I’ve eaten at Bleuroot twice when traveling through Chicago for hockey trips. Every bite has been phenomenal and there have been many “Oh you’ve got to try this” shared plates. The staff are amazing and this is a place where it’s okay to be loud and boisterous and joyful. Thanks to Maria and the crew for a great experience (and excellent customer service mailing me back a pair of prescription sunglasses I left on the table!). Looking forward to a third visit in November!“

“Still the best burger around“

“We love this place, very good food and newspaper coupons are frequent. However, I’ve loved their chicken for years but something changed about 2 years ago. I think they may have switch cooking oil or something. Chicken is now bland and a little “off”“

“We enjoyed another great evening at Coopers Hawk Kildeer. We choose Coopers Hawk not only for their great drinks, food preparation and portions, but also because they have substantial Gluten-Free options and dedicated fryers so everyone can enjoy. They take allergy consciousness seriously. While Kyle our server was prompt, courteous, and engaging I have to say the entire staff gave us a feeling they truly appreciated our choice dining with them. Everyone we spoke with or even passed in the hallway smiled and made eye contact. The Pretzel bread (including Gluten-Free bread) along with appetizers (Calamari & Brussel Sprouts) were the perfect size for our party of five(5) to share. We enjoyed a variety of dishes (Chicken, Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops, Spaghetti w/Meatballs, Gnocchi Alla Vodka, and Salad w/Chicken & Avocado), all delicious. Flourless cake and two other desserts were shared and delicious. Overall highly recommended as we have had consistent high quality food and service at this location.“

“Outdoor dining area was very cute. Food was good. Service was good! Will def be back. Taco pizza is fire!“

“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!“

“I hardly believe this, but I left today and they forgot to include my coleslaw. I got home and called to mention it. I was told they'd bring the coleslaws to me. I thought it was a joke, like doctors making house calls. Sure enough, they came to my door with the coleslaws, an extra, and a pint of blueberry cheesecake. Unbelievable! I've gone there since they opened. Now I won't go anywhere else. Caring about customers isn't lost! Wonderful people!“

“Dined in over the weekend ; live music by the talented Jonny Lyons duo ; Great atmosphere ; our server was Arturo : fabulous service & delicious food ! The manager John was also very nice and checking to see if we needed anything. Can’t wait to return !“

“Great food and the best customer service. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Absolutely delicious. Great staff. Great cocktails“

“Just stopped in for an Irish coffee. Taste tested my husband's Bloody Mary. Oh my! The mix that Emily put together this morning was amazing. The best! We usually stop in for breakfast on the weekends and always have a great meal.“

“fine course well maintained great food“

“The breakfast was not bad at all. Really good portions. Our food was always hot and freshly cooked. We tried the French toast, breakfast burrito and eggs cooked your way. Fruit and coffee (starbucks) pretty basic. Plenty space to eat and clean tables available.“

“I am so grateful for such great service here! I have my go-to’s but I’ve gotten to try sandwiches, soup, pasta, salads, cookies, and everything has always been super tasty! Because of that, I have started getting food to-go from here whenever I can. Be it through DD or in person ordering, they get it right EVERY time which sadly can’t be said very often anymore. Everyone is super helpful and courteous too. Only great things to say all around and I hope you guys keep up the great work you’re doing! :)“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“
