“Took The Wife here for a late lunch. It was busy-ish, but we got a table fairly quickly. I got a Cheeseburger that took a very long time to make, and The Wife got a soup and half a sandwich. Nice place for the most part, but the seats and tables were sticky and dirty. Prices were more than average. A bit on the high side. Not sure if we'll come back.“
“Food: I had masala tea & combo medu vada/idli.Very good taste. They serve three types of chutneys, I liked all and also they serve sambhar.Masala Tea quantity was a big full mug. I don't find these quantity in other Indian restaurant. Typically it is less quantity.They have options for buffet on selective days.Service: Server was very attentive and response was quick.Atmosphere: It is nice & comfortable seating arrangement to be with your loved ones, friends and family.“
“I had a custom birthday cake made for my husbands birthday and it was even more perfect than I could’ve imagined! It was a highlight of the party! She replicated exactly what I asked for and exceeded my expectations. Not to mention the cake was delicious too! Highly recommend!“
“This place was great. We stopped in this morning I had the green bowl & the Oreo donut. I have no idea how he got the bowl of the base so light & airy. Normally bowls are dense, it was not at all, I really enjoyed it. Husband got the peanut lovers shake. It was all so good. It was filling & satisfying. The setup is great, loved the post it note wall.The owner was super friendly & welcoming. He said he’d been in business one year, hope he has many more years of success. He has a great shop.Dietary restrictions: I’m soy & dairy intolerant & there were plenty of options on the menu for me to enjoy.“
“It's the best restaurant in St. Charles in my opinion! The food is all delicious and there are some great vegetarian options. They're pretty busy sometimes but you can wander around the bookstore while you wait for a table, or you can order food to go instead.“
“I just had my baby shower at The Wine Exchange and I had to stop by to say a huge thank you to Bob and the team! The day was perfect, the food was absolutely amazing (I will forever dream of the french toast casserole) and a seemless process from start to finish. My husband and I will definitely stop by in the summer to enjoy the patio and the extensive selection of wines.“
“Great place to hang out. It wasn't too crowded when we got there ariund 5ish on a Friday evening, however, within two hours there were no tables available. The upstairs location was closed off. This brewery is like a house that was converted into a bar/brewery. A variety of beer types on tap to select from with limited food options. The bar tenders/employees are really attentive and courteous. Would definitely check this place out again on a Friday evening or weekend.“
“My daughter recommended Eastside Cafe to me. I stopped in on her recommendation and was pleasantly surprised, not only by the deliciousness of the food, but also the pleasant atmosphere. I am now a frequent visitor and I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is! Highly recommend!!“
“Love this place not only because their food is so delicious you cannot stop eating it even when you a full ? but also because of the nicest atmosphere and care! Our server Scott was incredibly helpful and caring! Thank you guys for making us feel comfortable and pleased!“
“Bibimbap at egg harbor. Who knew? So good. This version has bacon. Excellent server, Dawn, shared she could take a vegetarian or vegan order for next time. I needed some good cheer and egg harbor was perfect selection this morning, really any morning. I've enjoyed meals and service here many times.“
“Met a friend for dinner and we stayed for 2.5 hours. Our server was great he never made us feel like we should leave. It was a week night and not very busy. Great food, great service!Parking: Plenty of parking in a lot behind the restaurant.“
“Went to meet up with a friend from high school and as I sat down, I was graciously met by our server, Bella. As I waited for him to show up, she checked on me every so often to see if I needed anything and, after he showed up and we placed our order, she continued to check on us, even as the place was filled up on the upper patio. Food was very good, very nice atmosphere and our server, Bella, was the best server I’ve had at any restaurant I’ve been to. She was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I’m hoping the next time I go there, that Bella is working, she’s the best“
“Cute shop! People working there are very nice and friendly! I got the exhausted parent in a small cup. It was delish to say the least. Only reason im not giving a 5 stars is because I did not see all the flavors listed online there to choose from. Overall a good spot, Will be back.“
“This location is the best. I don't have to say too much about the custard, it is always great. But the service is fantastic too. I made a wrong order that is definitely my mistake, but the stuffs are still willing to change the order for me, right before they are closing! Thanks Zav and Taylor (I hope I did not spell your names wrong, if I do I am so sorry) and all other stuffs. I would like all customers and your manager knows the awesome service that you provided. Will definitely come back for more custard. Looking forward to you guys again.“
“Amazing cupcakes!!!! Beautifully made with care and so delicious too! They have happy hour from 5-6 and have half price cupcakes!!!!!! Absolutely amazing and the workers there are so nice too!!! Went in for 2 walked out with 4!!!!! So excited to come back and try the other cupcakes!!!!! It's a great woman owned small business and everyone should go show some love!!!!“
“Went here for a first date and we loved the ambience and atmosphere and the decor! The cocktails are very well prepared and well presented, and delicious! The staff are all friendly and sociable and we have already decided to come back again soon! :-)“
“Took my sister there for the 1st time. She absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was great, very cozy and cute. The service was awesome, and the staff were great! Going back for the custard!!!?Kid-friendliness: Lot's of sweet goodies!“
“A group of us did the private tour for my mom’s 60th birthday and it was INCREDIBLE!!! Matt and Sarah did a great job of ensuring we all had an amazing time. I’ll be a wine club member for life!Walkability: Great food spots within walking distance. Right by the Metra.Food & drinks: The best wine in the world.“

“This has become our favorite place to eat out. The food is so flavorful and different from a regular sandwich shop. Also, we are able to bring our dog with us and get him his own doggy meal. They don’t have the dog meals on the menu but they are available. They really should put a sign on the counter or a wall about them. Everything is served in a dog bowl which fits with the theme of the place. They have a wide variety of foods to choose from. I am currently trying to eat my way through the whole menu! The atmosphere is like a park. Some of the tables have swings to sit on. There is a little “grassy” area with giant Jenga and giant Connect Four games to keep the kids entertained. I love the huge wall mural which shows lots of cute dogs picnicking in a park. The staff is very nice and helpful. My whole family, including the dogs, love eating here!Parking: It is located in an open air mall so there is plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Swing seats available at some tables. Giant games for them to play on the grassy area.“
“I have been here twice. 1st time I had the burger and it was very good. This time I had the cheesy beef with a side of giardiniera, au jus for dipping, marinara and a small fry. The beef is definitely home made and probably on of the most tender beefs I've ever had, great flavor, just awesome! The Giardiniera is home made and has the perfect amount of heat, marinara sauce is very good too. The fries are fresh cut and also very good. Don't let the look on the outside fool you. It's not your average fast food place. It's way above that. I will be back to try other menu items.“
“Great pizza and great prices! We made the mistake a switching pizza place because we found one closer to our home but came back here. The taste and amazing customer service is unmatched. Will definitely stay here from now on. I think their prices are so good that it even leaves room to leave a tip. Thank you for your exceptional service and great food.“
“I have come to this candy shop for the last 10 years. That should speak for itself. If it doesn't, I'll say more:I absolutely love chocolate malts. Any place I go that has them, I always order one. SweetSpot makes the most INCREDIBLE malt I have ever had anywhere, and not once in 10 years has it been less than amazing! I took a friend a few months ago, telling them that the malts are the best and she was skeptical. Had one sip and said it was "50/10."However, if you aren't into malts, there are many other things to love. They have the widest variety of candies I have ever seen at one shop, plus some types of candy that I haven't seen anywhere else in 15 years, not to mention soda in actual glass bottles! Good luck finding those in your local grocery store! It seems impossible to find a real *candy* store anymore, as opposed to a store with a candy section.If you're in the area, SweetSpot is a must-visit. I'm moving several hours away tomorrow, but you can be sure that any time I come back to visit, I'll be stopping here for a malt!“
“We come here every year to get hot chocolate before going to look for our Christmas tree. We had a somewhat awkward mishap after my son accidentally spilled his, but the owner contacted us right away and made it right! Great customer service and delicious and unique hot chocolates!“
“Made my trip to the suburbs much brighter.The staff are phenomenal. Totally engaging and knew their beers. The music wasn't loud enough to be offensive, but it was enough to keep a kid who grew up with thrash pretty happy.The food wasn't too bad, either!“
“Great food-we had chopped salad, 8oz. Filet w mashed potato and a side order of creamed spinach-delish!!! Service was stellar! Ambiance wonderful ! Owner made his rounds to greet and entertain customers! Best cosmo drink we have had in a very long time-if not the best!!!We will be back!!“
“Excellent all the way around! We were in from Michigan visiting family and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Aliano's. Great service, beautiful patio area that opens up to an herb garden in the summer! We will have to come back to have the summer garden experience. A+“
“Finally visited for the first time - absolutely amazing!!! Staff is very friendly and helpful, and the drinks were delicious. way better than Starbucks and Dunkin!!! Got some lemon cookies too that were really good. :) 11 out of 10 - will be returning soon!~“
“Ordered take out last night! Found a coupon flyer. Medium Pizza 2 two ingredients for $15.00. Arrived home...pizza was great! Will definitely order here again!Parking: Black topped well lit!Kid-friendliness: Kids Menu...great little guy price!“
“Stopped in tonight for a drink with a friend & saw they had $2 tacos (Tuesday night). I ended up getting one of each & all of them were so good! All had good flavor & the mushroom taco had a little kick, which I loved! There was also trivia going on at the other end of the restaurant but it wasn't too loud at all - we could still have a normal conversation at the bar. The bartender was attentive & very friendly! I'll definitely be back for the tacos!“
“Friendly Staff, very good pancakes especially their poppy seed and lemon pancakes , as well as their french toast, their smoked salmon Benedict was wonderful and best of all well priced.Parking: Adequate amount of parking for the downtown and is not overly huge“
“Burnt pasta. Their specialty and worth ordering either for the table or entree.I was there for a luncheon today. Kira, our server was so attentive and Nancy, the manager, was always checking on us. Quite a variety of food ordered, to many to mention, but tasted by me, and delish.“
“Mahesh was very polite and attentive with our order and our party of 6. The food came out pretty fast and the food was delicious. The tortas I’m always on the edge In many restaurants but in this case, it was delicious. The tacos were flavorful as well and the signature tacos were so good. A taco like none other.“
“My favorite local place to grab dinner and a drink!! Delicious food and I feel like they have a new cocktail I want to try every time I’m there. Also love Cattleman's when looking for some fun during the week. The karaoke on Tuesdays and singo bingo on Wednesday nights is so much fun with friends!“
“Such a cute place to have a meal! There's an indoor koi pond with a small boat to make it look like you're on the water near a dock. Some of the seats overlook this area to give it an outdoor feel. Service was very friendly, food was good, and prices were reasonable. It is recommended that you call for a reservation. Complimentary sour dough bread was delicious with the crab dip. House cabernet $7 - Aok. Calamari $14.50 - Crunchy and tasty, biggest portion I've had in a while at a restaurant. Seared sesame tuna $16.50 - Great starter, came with 3 pieces of tuna. Mussels $17 Swordfish $30 Gift of the Ocean Pasta $34 - Creamy sauce with assorted seafood including scallops, clams, mussels, shrimp and squid. .|---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024“
“Took my Wife Mother of our children to Alianos for Dinner at Alianos in East Dundee . Great experience Great food very friendly people, we tried something Different as our Entree, Alianos Italian restaurant always comes through with a Delicious Italian dish prepared by Chef G. All Mothers that had Dinner there on Mother's Day where given a Carnation. That was a nice extra the Carnation flower. I can't wait to return for another special Dinner with friends.“
“The energy and vibe at night is really high. The bar is full and there is lots of seating. We sat at the bar and were greeted by the bartender right away. My husband ordered a Guinness Draught Stout and it was really delicious (not bitter at all) and I just had a sip of his and just drank some water. I am not really healthy enough to have an entire beer. When we ate here last time we signed up for the rewards program called 360 and on this visit we get a free pepperoni or cheese pizza. We also ordered the Chips, Pico, and Queso as an appetizer. (It was just ok this time... the chips were stale) They play uplifting music in the background that makes you want to get up and dance. There are 12+ TV's all across the room tuned into the different popular sports channels. This is a great place to come and unwind or people watch. We love the beer and pepperoni pizza! Will definitely be back again soon!“
“Every time I go there, they take a bit too long for the order, so this time I decided to order to go. I don't know the names of each role by memory. When I showed the picture of what I wanted to the server, she didn't know either, didn't want to ask the chef, and kept pushing me to order a popular roll instead.“
“My husband has been going in here for awhile. I had my first visit today. My shake was really good, Bahamas breeze protein shake. The owner is super nice. The place is very clean. Price is right. I would highly recommend village nutrition.“
