“I had a great evening at Vai's. The party room was fantastic. The staff was great and the food was outstanding. All the guests were absolutely delighted with their food. I really could not have asked for anything better. That's why it's the best restaurant in the city IMO. Thanks! You guys rock!“
“We stopped into this little place one Saturday afternoon on a whim while walking downtown Geneva. Such a cute place! We did a wine tasting. The woman who did our tasting was an owner, and you could tell how passionate she was about the Michigan and the wines. She was very knowledgable and the wine was wonderful! I got a cheese spread to take home. It's sun dired tomato falvored and I love it! Will definitely be back!“
“Came for lunch almost dinner… we had the flat bread which was wonderful, the eggplant appetizer amazing and my husband had a ribeye he loved it! Our server was great she was spot on, restaurant was clean and hostess asked where we wanted to be seated was honest this area can be loud, appreciative of that! We definitely are coming back my only issue was the menus were kinda hard to read in the dark.“
“Hands down the best place to get your drink on in Warrenville! The atmosphere is amazing! The staff is so welcoming and so knowledgeable about wine, beer and cocktails. The hostess on special events always sparkles! Take time for yourself to enjoy a little me time for drink at Evolet Eve!!“
“Wonderful drop in place. Great service, yummy eats (nothing heavy) and great wine selection. They even had decks of cards to play a fun game. Live music was nice, just a bit loud since the place is brick with no noise absorption. We'll be back.“
“Came here on a Sunday night for the first time. We were delighted to see the "oysters for $1.50 all day" sign upon our approach. Yes, please! Josh gave us the drink menu run down. You will want one of each, but I tried two on this visit. The pink one is Familiar Places and the other is Confucius' Final Cocktail. Yes, the cookie gets a little soggy on one side, but it is soaked in a lovely alcohol concoction. No complaints. See photos.The menu is small plates. After the oysters, we had the fried white anchovies, grilled octopus (our test for any restaurant offering it and they passed with flying colors), croquettes - spanish style, and a small charcuterie plate. All fresh, and amazing. Loved the accompanying sauces for each dish.They will have outdoor seating for summer which is perfect. The seating indoors is intimate, but inviting and we never felt rushed. A great date night spot or a stop for a true, craft cocktail.The owner, Devin, was there and is also hands-on to take a drink order or answer questions. The kitchen staff prepares the food quickly, but it's obvious that they take care and pride in their preparation and service.We will back for sure!“
“Came here with friends. Ambiance was really lovely and warm set in a gorgeous old building. Good selection of drinks, service was professional and pleasant. The food was on the better side of average. Perhaps i ordered poorly. My Arctic Char was overcooked. Spatzle was drowning in sauce. My husbands slow-cooked ribs were good, the fennel in the lamb was slightly overpowering. The octopus starter was slightly overcooked. The shrimp bao was a winner. Desserts were delicious. The plating for everything was attractive. Would I return? Unlikely, given that we travelled for this.“
“UPDATE: We've been back 3 times since my first review and it keeps getting better. The hostess is cordial, friendly and sweet, what a nice change. Our latest visit we had Kyle as our server, super friendly, knowledgeable and spot on without being overwhelming. There were 6 in our party and he didn't miss a beat. Started out with Joan's Rolls, super soft, warm rolls with a chive butter, so good. 3 of us had the miso salmon, the other 3 had the apple & pear salad with a protein. Everything was delicious and done perfectly! We like how the chef changes the menu a little bit every so often.“
“Such a cute coffee shop / lunch / dinner spot. Great food - Cuban sandwich and their cheesecake ? are our favorites. Lots of spots to work from and a cute patio. Wish it was closer to the city (or had another location) and also would be lovely if their patio (or a portion) was dog friendly?. We would visit even more often with our well behaved pups. Overall a lovely spot that we enjoy visiting when in the area.“

“First off, the pizza was really good. The service was not very good though. We ordered side salads as appetizers and got the salad 32 minutes after we ordered it. That is a long time to wait for a salad. They did apologize and gave us a free dessert so it wasn't all bad. Will probably go back.“
“We sat on the patio on a cold day. The heaters helped, but we needed to keep our coats on. It looks like a great space for warmer weather. Excellent Ruben sandwich ranked 8.5/10. Got a cup of delicious French onion soup for $2.50 with the sandwich, ranked 10/10 for that price. Overall, I'd give Preservation an 8/10, which would be higher if it wasn't so chilly on the partially enclosed patio. The cold hastened our departure. I'll definitely be back when it warms up!“
“From the moment you step into the Tavern on Broadway, you're in for a treat. The ambiance is cozy, the service is prompt and friendly, and the burgers are to die for—the best in Aurora.But what truly steals the show is their incredible clam chowder: creamy, flavorful, and brimming with chunks of tender clams, it's a comforting delight that leaves you craving more. Plus, the creator of this masterpiece brought us this award-winning recipe straight from Boston.If you find yourself here, you'll enjoy not only a beautiful restaurant and delicious food, but also a spectacular view of the majestic Paramount Theater.“
