“Steff is just all around 5⭐️ except when she throws a drink at me jk jk“

“We have been to Journeyman's Three Oaks campus several times and loved it enough to make a trip to the Valparaiso location. It was great. What a beautiful facility and the food was wonderful. We especially enjoyed the service provided by Jackson. He was super attentive and made the best drinks while giving recommendations. 10/10 will go again!“

“Celebrated a friends birthday there last night and had an amazing dinner! The entrée of braised short ribs melted in my mouth and banoffee pie could not be beat for dessert!“

“Been eating here for years and recommending them for years if you want the best burger in Chesteron/Porter area. Some other favorites are the bacon wrapped poppers, steak or chicken flatbread, soups, and the only place I know that still has homemade pub chips. Just had my first ever minor issue with a cook on burgers and the owner addressed it and made it right. I am looking forward to their new bi-weekly specials to try some new items. Gastro 49 customers for life.“

“Great Food friendly atmosphere“

“Parea is very good for an upper scale restaurant in downtown Valpo and could very well be my local favorite for a sit down dinner. The service here has always been very good and the servers seem like pretty down to Earth individuals (at least those I've spoken to). The atmosphere is very nice and the bar area is no exception. The food is the real show here and it (Mostly) never disappoints. The food is about what I'd expect, it's very good, but oftentimes I feel like it's lacking a little something that makes it really shine as opposed to other high end restaurants I've been to in other towns. It's also pretty pricey which is expected for a restaurant of this caliber, but with that high price comes an expectation that the food will be excellent. And for the most part, it does not disappoint.“

“The staff at Lincoln Flats is always top notch. The best service around.“

“Best thing about Northside is metal Mondays!! The best pizza in the region and metal/punk music @ 5pm cheap drinks and killer food. Definitely check this place out.“

“A group of us came here for the first time tonight and will definitely be back. Our server Brent did a great job with our party, our food was great and my espresso martini was amazing!“
