“excepcional servicio y la comida deliciosa 😋“

“Good drinks, great spot to relax. The place has comfortable seating and a quiet atmosphere, perfect if you’re looking to wind down at the end of the night with friends or family. Drinks are solid, but most definitely on the pricey side. Still, it’s a nice spot when you want something a little more laid-back. I highly recommend the Porn Star- Although a bit embarrassing to order for a dude LOL, it was tart and delicious!“

“we love everything there, food, service and atmosphere.“

“I worked closely with Sonja to host a surprise 'Whiskey & Blues' themed b-party for my husband’s 60th. She was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with and very communicative and accomodating throughout the planning process. The party turned out fantastic, complete with signature cocktails - and great whiskey - for the birthday boy. Everyone loved the ambiance, the personalized cocktails and the overall vibe of the space perfectly matched the theme.

As an event planner, this venue was the perfect setting for a party!“

“Elena, ryne, Matt. The staff at the pines room have an amazing vibe. The restaurant is small but that's the appeal. It's an amazing place to hang out and couldn't be a better spot as a regular bar. The drinks are very well made and the staff is very attentive and personable. 100% recommend to check out.“

“Super…Great service from Ashley!!“

“First time here since the Rivers Casino expansion. Nice long bar with plenty of seats. Vibe and music is bumpin' as well. Ordered a Dirty Martini and was asked if I wanted dry vermouth with it. Friendly and smiley bartenders. Cute martini glass but could not really taste the alcohol. Some interesting characters at the casino in general, but more so here sitting at the bar. There are game machines on the bar top as well.“

“love this restaurant & have been going here for over 20 years. Always great food & service except the bread. They changed the provider and bread is not as fresh, warm & tasty like it used to be.. this is the only thing which is not up to standards thank you for listening everything else is great.“

“Awesome Cocktail and Small Plate experienced“

“Food was decent . Not great but not bad. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful.
But the food was just good. Didn't like the fries but the short rib sandwich was tender. The burrata was good but not enough bread to eat it with. Did not like the sticky toffee.
I'd go back though.“

“Went there yesterday for dinner had the best nachos ever for an appetizer The guacamole was the best guacamole it was incredible really love the salsa and I would have to say that was the best chicken quesadillas I ever had at a restaurant And the waitress we had was great she was super nice and very helpful when we had questions we would be definitely coming back :)“

“Repeat customer at Beats and Brunch that exceeded my expectations, again! The attention to detail by GM Eric was outstanding, making our entire brunch experience feel like VIP service. Our server, Zero, was exceptional, and the bar’s drink selection was impressive. The staff was friendly and welcoming across the board. For a more intimate vibe, the Chef’s Table is the perfect spot — but if you want to feel the energy and dance vibes, grab a table by the DJ!“

“Five stars ………………………………..“

“We picked Maevery last minute for our son's navy graduation dinner and it didn't dissapoint. They accommodated a last minute reservation and put us in a corner great table for easy catching up. Service was great (which we didn't experience in multiple fine dining restaurants downtown) and food was yummy and a good selection. .. they had awesome recommendations and treated us wonderfully! Didn't rush us and from 5-6pm we nearly had the place to ourselves before the dinner rush! Highly recommended by this out of town visiting family! Thank You (from Southern CA) We will be back if we are in Chicago again!“

“Hands down one of the best breakfast spots I've been to in while. I first visited their Naperville location in 2021 and fell in love with the potatoes and pancakes. There can be a wait but I suggest making reservations or going before 11am. Even if you wait, its totally worth it.“

“We visited for the first time on a Monday in December for our holiday luncheon. It was after the lunchtime so we were well served and were able to hear each other. Appetizers were delicious and so was my fish n chips (and they even had malt vinegar!) Loved the swanky decor. I will return again.“

“I recently visited this restaurant and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The highlight of the meal was their Board Tacos – hands down one of the most fun and delicious dishes I’ve ever ordered. They come out served on a big board with all the fillings, tortillas, sauces, and toppings laid out beautifully, almost like a “build-your-own” taco moment. It made the meal interactive in the best way — perfect for sharing, or honestly, just enjoying on your own because it’s that good.

The meats were seasoned perfectly, the tortillas were warm and fresh, and the toppings were super flavorful and colorful. You can mix and match everything to make each taco a little different, which made every bite exciting. The presentation alone was impressive, but the taste is what really made it memorable.

The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and the whole experience felt fun and welcoming. If you’re looking for great Mexican food and something unique to try, definitely order the Board Tacos. I’ll be coming back just for those! 🌮✨“
