“Open, very, summery atmosphere! Feels like you're grabbing dinner on vacation to places like Palm Beach or Miami. Such a great place for a brief escape from Chicago winters. Elegant but still casual. Bright colors, nothing dark and dingy like several if the more old school Italian restaurants. Food is excellent! A good variety. I had the linguine with clans and I loved how it wasn't saturated in butter and garlic. Tasted like it does in Italy! Bread was fresh, beet salad was surprisingly delicious, and the Gelato was some of the best I ever had. We got hazelnut and pistachio. Coffee was good and strong. Service was good though we had to ask for several things which should have been already at the table, like grated cheese, salt and pepper, sharing plates should have come with the dessert as they gave enough spoons to know we were all sharing, etc. I've been here when it's jam packed and the service has always been great! This time it was less busy and we had to ask the bus boy for things. But, that being said, the waitress was very polite and immediately took care of requests when she was present. I wanted a table by the window and the host willingly accommodated us by making a 4 top for us. One plus from coming on a lesser busy time was that it was much quieter,l. Usually it's pretty loud in there when it's busy. But I always appreciate the uplifting vacation like atmosphere! I've never been disappointed, and this is probably my 4th time eating at Lucia Rose and will not my last.“
“Epic, memorable lunch. We ordered steaks, and they were perfectly prepared and grilled. The strip steak was a perfect medium as requested, and my filet mignon was a delicious medium rare. No gristle, very tender. Barry, our waiter was accommodating, efficient, and flawless. We had 2 special requests that he honored without blinking an eye. Barry's not your run of the mill waiter. He's entertaining and funny without interfering in conversations. From beginning to end, it was a textbook perfect dining experience.“
“Such a memorable night out with outstanding food cooked to perfection, smooth service, attentive and kind staff, and lovely atmosphere. Angie, our server, couldn’t have done any better. It was 10/10 from start to finish. So kind, so attentive with our two birthdays, and so warm and personable. She made sure we had everything we needed and represented the face of the restaurant in an excellent way, letting us know about events coming up. Angie, thank you so much! You made us feel so special!“
“This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is good, service excellent, and atmosphere nice. I had dinner here and they had a new spring menu. My only complaint is that the food menu is a little limited; I would have expected more options. I had the salmon, which was very good, and paired with an appetizer of the crab cake. Finally, the wine selection is more than sufficient.Parking: Parking is not an issue: plenty of space and easy to find.“
“We Enjoyed this Locally Owned Restaraunt. Everything Was Delicious! Especially the Peach Riesling Moscow Mules ??Our Dishes Were Very Well Seasoned and Great Presentation. However We Would Have Liked Some Actual Lobster Meat in Our Bisque.The Service Was OK. Our Server Would Rush Away Before We Had a Chance to Answer If We Needed Anything.We Would Definately Go Back Maybe Try Lunch Time Next Time.Parking: Plenty of Parking Adjacent to the Building.“
“The food met or exceeded everyone's expectations. Our server, Brooke, and her assistants were terrific: pleasant, patient, and attentive. The restaurant was full/noisy and the host did his best to accommodate us with a quiet location, a request we made through the app because of the hearing disability of my husband who is a Vietnam Veteran. The volume of the restaurant was still too loud for him: even with hearing aids conversing across a table that could have accommodated eight when we turned out to be only five was challenging, but the window location was the best option and we appreciated that the host did his best. I'm pointing out this situation because it is difficult to find a restaurant that ticks all the boxes: good food, good value, and good conversational ambience. Surely it is a plus that Neat did their best.“
“Sherard and Stephanie are the best. They alone are a reason to go and enjoy the great food and atmosphere this place creates. But if you do go, you must try their New York strip steak, delicious and cooked to perfection along with their truffle fries. Their cocktails are also very good, strong. It is an expensive experience but it's a worthwhile one.“
“Celebrated my bday on Monday . Food was delicious as always , waitress was pleasant and very attentive. The only reason I am giving 4 stars it’s because the hostess was very rude and ignorant. If you having a bad day maybe next time take a day off . No one wants to see your attitude.“
“The highlight of my dining experience was, without a doubt, the Barramundi. This dish is a testament to the chef's artistry and the kitchen's commitment to sourcing the freshest, most sustainable produce. The barramundi, a fish known for its buttery texture and delicate flavor, was cooked to perfection. Its skin was crisped to a golden hue, encasing the moist, flaky flesh within. It was served atop a bed of vibrant, seasonal vegetables, each bite a harmonious blend of earth and sea. Parker Restaurant is not just a place to eat; it's a destination for those who appreciate fine dining in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor passing through, a meal at Parker promises not only to satisfy your hunger but to leave you with a lasting impression of culinary excellence.“
“Came here with my wife while we were in town for a marriage conference. It was a busy Saturday night, but we had a reservation so the wait wasn't bad. Service was excellent and they got us helped very promptly, even with the full house!I ordered pollo marsala (pictured) with The Godfather (drink). Both were excellent! My wife ordered the pappardelle al nonno and she liked it as well. Great atmosphere as well. Would recommend the high tables if you're on a date as they're a bit more tucked away.Parking: We went on a Saturday evening (6:30 reservation) and didn't have any issues finding parking. Used the side lot which is shared by the other businesses nearby and found a couple spots immediately.“
“I had a wonderful time with my beloved cousins. The service was great and they treat you like you are their family and are just so enthusiastic. At one point there was a spontaneous spot of Greek singing with me and my cousins joining in with our server Pete!!Food was delicious, we had so many dishes which we shared in the traditional way we Greeks do and then we also had our main dish bit by then we most of us were pretty full so we took them home for later ( which my daughter enjoyed my dolmades)Love Greek Islands, hope we go again soon!!“
“I love the atmosphere here! Very industrial, loft vibes are nice. Menu is very good. I would say the menu is very diverse and reminds me of a fusion restaurant. Great drinks( I had the passion fruit margarita) and so are rhe buugers! Nomi provided excellent service!“
“Uncork, Unwind is a gem! My friend and I stumbled upon it after moving to Des Plaines, and we’ve loved it ever since. They have a cozy, inviting atmosphere, and the owners and staff are absolutely amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable. The monthly regional wine selections are unique and always delicious. My boyfriend and I just attended their Halloween event and plan on attending more of their events in the future. It was intimate, well-planned, and a lot of fun.“
“Unfortunately, the evening did not start off well. We were told that we had to wait for our reservation for atleast 10-15 min after our original time, even though we showed up early. Then after waiting, we were told another 15 min. Noticed that they seated other groups that were walk ins so I guess they were given priority. We had two young children who were starving so we decided to leave and just as we did, the manager came running after us and asked us to stay. They turned around a table and even through a pizza in the oven for the kids, no charge. The food was good, not great. Felt a little rushed as it was now kind of late for dinner and they were getting ready to close. Wouldn't mind giving them another try but will likely favor other restaurants over this one.“
“I've been to Dolce many times. The food is outstanding! The atmosphere is great and normally the service is excellent. This night in particular the service was a bit disappointing but we still had a great time celebrating my mom's 86th birthday.“
“From food to drinks and service, we are so lucky to have this neighborhood gem! I love the cheese and meat app, as well as all pastas and flat breads we have tried. The staff is beyond helpful, and the owners are supportive of the community. It does not get better than Trezeros!“
“We had a great time at ko-ze! My husband planned my 40th birthday party in their back room, and the staff was so welcoming and accommodating with our large group. It was the perfect spot for a big gathering, and the wine and beverage selections were fantastic!“
“Very nice, good food, accommodating in every way. We were running late for our reservation and they were very understanding, hostesses were very friendly and our server (Nick? Or he just reminds me of Nick from New Girl ?) was AMAZING!! Give that man a RAISE! Bartender downstairs was great as well. Everyone from Hostess to bus boys had it together. Thank you for a great dinner ❤️“
“My boyfriend and I went to Tannins for his birthday and ordered a flight of wine. It was awesome, the bartender was really nice and super great about suggesting menu items to try. We tried one of the cheese plates and loved it! We will definitely be back :).“
“The Ginger Carrot Cake is scrumptious! Service was very good. Our server Nicole was personable and very knowledgeable about menu items. The Barbecue Chicken Salad and the Chicken Madeira (without cheese) were delicious. The warm pretzel loaf is always a treat.“
“Cesar. I was having the worst day because I found out my mom needed emergency surgery so I was rushing to get to Scottsdale and stopped for a glass of wine. (Or two) I realize I was late for my flight and ran to my gate. I of course left my laptop there. Thank you for reporting it because I was screwed if not. Somehow the laptop ended up at my gate and an attendant brought it to me. Great service. Great man and great vibes. Thanks for the wonderful service.“
“We found the atmosphere very cool and up to date the Server was new but you could not tell she was personable and knowledge the menu had a great selection. The wine was wonderful our Pizza was cold and our stuffed Mushrooms were slightly over cooked. With these minor issues it's not enough to stop us from wanting to go back. The other dishes looked and smelled fantastic from the people around us . The location is also nice a suburban downtown enclave.“
“Where do I start? I came across this place on instagram. I was shocked, that I had been missing out. I didn't go right away. So, I decided to go one Friday and the service was awesome. Both bartenders, were very nice and attentive. The ambiance, was chill. Some people, were standing having their wine immersed in conversation. I took a seat, at the bar since I was alone. I cannot remember, the drinks I had. But, I enjoyed both! I visited again, the following Friday LOL! This time, a little earlier. I sat at the bar again, this time I went for the special "froze rose" with a shot of gin. Extremely good drink! So I had two lol Many thanks, to that bartender! Both times, I loved my expertience...I've found a new chill, laid back, after work on a Friday spot!“
“While visiting a neighboring resort we came across this gem. Upon entering we were greeted with smiles and treated like valued patrons ( although it was our first visit).We sat at the bar and the bartender Marshall provided impeccable customer service. He was very knowledgeable about the selection options and he can make a pretty stiff drink. The overall feel of this establishment was very intimate and comfortable. If you are there, you will feel like you SHOULD be there enjoying a nice glass of wine. If we visit the area again, this place will certainly be on the agenda!“
“As an avowed foodie and chef, although I cook it ,I'm not enthusiastic about seafood. Ironically that statement proved to be false when Mr. Fleming presented me with the jerk fish. Apologies for eating it before I could even think to take a picture of my plate which is normally a habit. Testament to the meal and the chef! In the immortal words of Florida Evans of Good Times fame, "DAMN, DAMN DAMN!!" ?? ???? And thank you J .Fleming. Not only was your interpretation of JERK FISH top notch, you just might have given me my "fishy thing" back! ?? Thank you Sir! ????“
“An incredible meal! Never expected a tenderloin to match Gibsons and blackened salmon plus fresh crab cake appetizer that Shaws could only dream about! Excellent service from Johanna who is personable, professional and-knows the menu well! You can't go wrong with her recommendations though not sure you could go wrong with anything here! Thanks for a great dining experience. Far better than most well known names with double the price.“
