“Had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner with my boyfriend! The food was cooked perfectly to mine and my boyfriend’s liking. Chef Santiago and his wife Estela have done an amazing job, my server was also amazing and helped make this dinner perfect. I will definitely keep coming back and recommend this restaurant.“
“We went for a late lunch this past Saturday with 8 of us. Traveled from Wisconsin to have lunch with my nephew.I wish I caught her name, but our waitress was fantastic! Super friendly and attentive. The bartender was also very nice and made some good drinks (according to my family). The place wasn’t very busy and we didn’t feel rushed at all, which was nice.We got fried pickles and chips & guac with salsa for apps and loved them! The kids pizza was huge and actually very good. I got the carne asada tacos and a cup of chili. I can honestly say that the chili was some of the best chili I’ve had and the tacos were amazing. My mom got the pulled pork sandwich, she loved it and it was packed with pork! Everybody loved their meals.It was nice they had high chairs available and a changing table in the bathroom! Definitely kid friendly with the crayons and paper as well.Will definitely be making the trip again!!Kid-friendliness: High chairs available, crayons & paper, changing table, low tables“
“We dined on Saturday night at the Village Vitner. I had baked cod and my dining partner had baked grouper. Both of our entrees were delicious and the portions were very satisfying. As usual, the wine was excellent. Even though the restaurant was very crowded, we were happy with the level of service from our waitress. We dine here often, and this evening was one of the more enjoyable dinners in terms of portion size, taste, and presentation. We would recomend the VV to everyone.“
“My wife planned my surprise 40th birthday at Region. From start to finish the night was perfect. The food was impeccable and very well cooked. The staff was amazing, extremely helpful and just pleasant throughout the entire night. Everything went perfect and i would recommend anyone to have their private event at Region.“
“Five stars all around for this wonderful restaurant! As first time diners we weren't sure what to expect as all dishes are gluten-free, however every dish was delicious and satisfying. Our party started with 2 very tasty appetizers of Mussels and Cheese Curds. We then enjoyed the House and Seasonal Salads, both having a wonderful honey mustard vinaigrette. For an added touch, the Seasonal Salad was topped with goat cheese. I can't say enough about our entrees. Not only were the presentations well done, all tasted as wonderful as they looked! The Skate Wing with Snap Peas was a mild white meat fish, with caper brown butter sauce. The Short Rib was perfectly done and topped with brown sugar glaze. The Hanger Steak, ordered medium rare, had a roasted peppered chutney, charred on the outside, and two roasted whipped sweet potatoes. Our meal was topped off with the Julian's Frozen Custard dessert and espresso. The restaurant itself is somewhat small, with a cozy and charming feel to it so reservations are a must! Our service thruout the evening was exceptional so kudos to the attentive staff. A final note there is additional parking across the street so take advantage when the main lot is full. Will definitely be dining here again!“
“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.“
“My kids and I love this place! It’s the only place in town where my dairy free family has zero issues eating great food. It makes my life so easy! Plus, the outdoor seating is perfectly situated so that toddlers can eat and watch trains…it’s perfect for us! The food is great! The staff is just awesome! We’re big big fans and will be. Ack again and again.“

“Went on a Saturday night when it was extremely busy, but still have a fabulous experience! Kelsey B was our server, probably the best server we have ever had. The food was delicious and everything came out quick and hot. We will definitely only come to this location from now on!Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options“
“Had a great time stopping in for lunch on a Sunday. Tasty spicy Bloody Mary. So happy they bag interesting vegetarian options!!! This made my vegetarian friends happy and me because I picked it! Buffalo Cauliflower was just lightly battered and peefectly cooked with a good plate full. The chickpea curry was yummy and I had grilled chicken with it. The desserts looked yummy but not this trip. Next visit we will try the beer and desserts!Vegetarian options: Offered tofu as alt protein!Dietary restrictions: They are a scratch kitchen so were able to accommodate a few changes due to allergies“

“First time last night for dinner with friends. What a great atmosphere, music could have been a tad lower. The service was very attentive. The food was really good. The crispy coconut tofu was a really good dish with many flavors mixing together to be amazing. Overall we will be back again!“
“Great food and staff. Love going here! Kosta is an amazing server! He is on top of everything no matter how busy it is. He makes you feel like you're the only table he has. Friday and Saturdays are busy but if you get there at the perfect time, there's no wait!“
“Jasmine was a wonderful waitress! Kept our glasses filled. I had the veggie flatbread which was loaded with vegetables. My friend had the open faced salmon sandwich with Caesar salad side and she loved it. Considering it was busy with spring break and the bowling and bocce were full, it was not noisy.“

“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've attended and hosted many events at The Quarry over the years. It's a beautiful space where I've made many memories and met new friends. Several years ago I hosted a surprise party for my sister's birthday and the Quarry staff made everything so seamless so all I had to do was show up with the guest of honor. They are so thoughtful and accommodating and really know how to throw a good party! I HIGHLY recommend this venue. I've also been here for drinks after SUP yoga or a nice longe bike ride in the summer. It's so fun to enjoy a nice drink in the sand and the fire pit is such a nice touch. The prices are a little high, but it's to be expected with such a unique venue with tons of free amenities like live music, sand volleyball, and baggo. Totally worth it in my opinion. Also, their themed events are always so much fun with awesome decor, live entertainment, pop-up booths, and delicious themed drinks. My favorites are the Galentines event, the Speakeasy, and the Mother's Day event.“
“Fantastic place with 10/10 burgers! The server, Nathan, is very friendly. Ask him to spit a few bars and he will freestyle on the SPOT!!! The new guy, Gian, is also pretty friendly. He can ALSO spit bars, he has a talent for freestyling. The workers are so talented!!“
“We’ve been going here for years. Food, ambiance is always excellent. Service was always good BUT last night our server TYSON blew ours minds! Told us right from the start to think of this night as a journey and to think out of the box. He was passionate about the food, drinks and other locations. He was amazing!!!!! Everything was absolutely perfect. When you go, ask for him as a server!“
“I've ordered dozens of times since my original post from my first visit. The service is always excellent, cook time is quick, food is delicious consistent and filling. This is now our favorite go-to taco spot. Love the pastor tacos and my daughter loves the kids quesadilla.“
“Sideouts is an awesome place to eat, drink, bowl or watch live music! Huge outdoor patio with tvs, music, baggo, violleyball and so much more. The food is excellent, the pizza is some of the best around! Summertime they have car shows, bands in the sand concerts, and many other events. You gotta check this place out!“
“First time eating here, The service was great, food great. We had cheese curds to start which were good then Optimus brave burger, this was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, the pretzel bun was fresh l, homemade and you can tell. We also had the Elote shrimp tacos, you get 3 huge tacos filled with shrimp and Elote. Definitely returning to try more from their menu.“
“You won't believe the flavor explosion at this spot in Elgin - they never disappoint! Their crispy fried chicken and fish are simply out of this world, and don't even get me started on the lemon pepper seasoning - it's a game changer! And if that's not enough, their mild sauce takes the whole experience to a whole new level. You've got to try it to believe it!“
“Outstanding place to visit with the family. We would boat all through the summer, and one of the highlights would be to stop by the place with the family and enjoy their hospitality. Busy place. Great food, reasonable prices, the music the service are outstanding and just overall a great place to hang out with friends and family. They always have some sort of event happening and we went for the downstairs artic bar and WOW! What a great setup! Highly recommend it!“
“Mountain of praise for Montarra The experience was very pleasant. This was our second time here and, to be honest, we only returned because we had a gift certificate. But we were pleasantly surprised and delighted. Service: Excellent. Both wait staff and hostess team seemed very engaged, from when I made the reservation to when we stepped into the restaurant and even when we left. Our waitperson was efficient, polite, and knowledgable. Food: was really outstanding (we had bouillabaisse and a special risotto dish with scallops). The menu was varied and interesting - I often gauge a restaurant by looking at the menu and having a difficult time making a selection because many items looked good. I liked that they had a quality menu with several selections that seemed creative. The quantity of items was also just right. Not too many, not too few. Other: When they took my reservation, they asked if it was a special occasion. I said it was for my husband's birthday. They asked his name - I didn't really know why but told them. When we were seated, I realized why. They had printed a special version of the menu with a happy birthday note to my husband. It was a very inexpensive, clever, and simple, yet meaningful step. We were impressed. We would definitely return - even without the gift certificate.“
