“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.“
“Worth the wait and must try! Beautiful and unique venue in the unassuming town of Des Plaines. Our server was kind and welcoming, food was delicious, drinks were fun and tasty. The only two items that were less than ideal, the horrible acoustics (incredibly loud) and although it was too on my list to try, the chicken shawarma rolls were underwhelming. Even with those two items, the great service and food quality it's still worth the 5 star review. We sat upstairs, which very much appreciated, being out of the hustle and bustle of the downstairs. Looking forward to trying the brunch and the outside patio... overlooking the water.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Food was very well prepared. Some flavors here that you can only get here. Very good wine list. Importantly, the "buzz-free" drinks were fantastic! The service was not rushed, which was nice for our party. We had a delightful time.“
“Awesome steakhouse in Rivers casino! We love Gibson's/Hugo's downtown, so it's always fun to go to this location at the casino. Steak, salads, cocktails, wine, desserts, all amazing! Service is great and the manager always seems to be around and checking in with tables. Always a fantastic experience“

“3.5 stars, but rounded up. Went here for dinner and ordered the 3 tacos with the rice and beans. I ordered the el pastor, beef taco and the chicken taco. My fav was def the el pastor taco. It was delicious. Chicken taco was decent, but I wasn't too crazy about the beef taco.“
“This place offers an elevated seafood dining experience with superior ingredients, precise execution, and classic presentation. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a classy and warm atmosphere, with stylish furnishing and subtle nautical touches that evoke coastal elegance. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the lighting carefully highlighting each dish to the backlit menus for easy viewing in the lower light. The scrupulous attention to every aspect of the meal poured over to the flavors and food as well. The meticulous preparation ensured that every dish was beautifully presented, showcasing the freshness and quality of the seafood, making it the ideal place for a romantic dinner or a special celebration with friends and family.? What I Tasted: The raw Yellowfin Tuna appetizer was incredibly fresh, complemented perfectly by creamy avocado and an order of half dozen plump and just enough grinny west coast oysters. For the main course, the buttery and succulent Chilean sea bass was cooked to perfection, nestled on a bed of risotto with a ting of sweet sauce that enhanced its richness. Dessert was a delightful classic crème brûlée, providing a sweet ending to a fantastic dining experience.? Standout Feature: Turlucks excels in the little details that make a big impact. From curated flavor combinations to attentive service and exquisite décor, every aspect of the dining experience is carefully crafted. Things you never would think of, and I never seen before, like the De la paix à la résistance, innovative backlit menus and thoughtfully designed lighting provide ease of viewing in lower light (or older eyes) and most of all elevate the atmosphere and enhance the overall enjoyment of the meal.⚠️ What Was Mid: While Turlucks shines in its seafood offerings, traditional steak and sides are good but may not always meet the same high standard. For the ultimate dining experience, I recommend sticking to their seafood specialties.“
“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.“
“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.“
“If you want true Italian cooking and a friendly atmosphere, then Mangia Napoli is the place. I cannot express enough how great the food is! Thank you to Fonz, Eddie & Vinnie for the excellence in food. Fonz the Zuppa you prepared for our anniversary was beyond excellent! Many thanks“
“We enjoyed the appetizers , drinks dessert and service . Jodie our server was amazing and very attentive. All the recommendations made by her, we loved. Thank you Jodie .We ordered bruschetta , calamari, chopped salad, minestrone soup, peace bianco alla spinaci, pollo positano. Their martinis are amazing and so were their desserts- Affogato, tirmaisu and apple crostata. A big shout out to the owner Billy for going above and beyond and handling a delicate situation. I know I will be back for some yummy italian food .“
“The food is good but expensive. However, the sushi rice is usually just old white rice. If I was eating in restaurant, I would send my food back for what I actually ordered, but it's delivered so ?♀️The boba tea is actually even more expensive than listed, because you're required to choose a boba type for an extra $1+. I always order thru UberEats, and delivery is fast and my food is packed well.“
“Our family had a great meal from Surf's Up Lockport. The batter is so good. We had a family meal with perch, shrimp, wings, and fries. Also, got an order of onion rings. Shrimp were huge. My husband and daughter enjoyed the fish. The wings were huge and the batter was tasty! Everything was delicious. We will be back for the lunch specials and to try more sides!!“
“Very tidy space and welcoming staff made for easy casual lunch while running errands. Kid friendly option if your child likes seafood and rice. Salmon and vegan ingredients fresh, portions generous compared to similar customizable poke bowl shops. I would be inclined to frequent more if seafood was sustainably harvested: no public information shared on that front.Kid-friendliness: Very competitively priced build-your-own kids bowl.“
“We've been frequenting another great Sushi restaurant in Schaumburg for a while; wanted to try something new for a change.Ambience is modern. Service was great. Food presentation was top-notch, but we felt, it lacked 'flavor'. Something about it - it had all the familiar ingredients and yet something was missing.Prices were reasonable. They have the a-la-carte and all you can eat options. We tried both. They have reduced price for kids' all you can eat option as well....which is nice. I will give it another shot and try some different items.“
“We LOVE this restaurant, and will always come back for a fun/delicious night out, but we always seem to have something missing or incorrect with our order. The servers are very nice/accommodating, but it would be preferable to have our orders come out correctly the first time.“
“The experience was very pleasant, the service was very good, very attentive, helpful, the food is delicious, the place is clean, beautiful, they have delicious quesadillas and they also had someone playing guitar music.Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere has two spaces“
“We were seated at a booth in the bar area. It was comfortable but the noise level was a bit elevated. Would have preferred being seated in the dining room. Our server was attentive and courteous. Both of our cocktails were incorrect, but the bar order was rectified. Food was tasty and ample. The cioppino was way too spicy (hot). Chef went overboard on the red pepper flakes. Overall, a pleasant dining experience and we would recommend Devon to others.“
“Our first time here, it was last minute and we chose it based on a picture someone posted of a soup. We were pleasantly surprised to come in on a Sunday afternoon and we were provided with a table in one of their private rooms. We chose several options and when we tasted the soup, it was soo delicious. Everything was great. Can't wait to go back. We even got additional stuff to go.Kid-friendliness: The kids were offered a kiddie cocktail and they got a kick out of it.“
“AMAZING! I go to restaurants comparing them to Morton’s because l had an amazing time here! Food AMAZING the steak MUAH! the chefs know how to cook! The service was great! The drinks so good and the butter and bread forget about it. The baked potatoes UGH I want more ? this place is the only place that has gotten 10/10 for me 5 stars and I mean it! Can’t wait to go back!“
“Food was great. Traditional Korean food. (Pot stickers was not that great. Very thin)The place itself is very small and they have packed way too many chairs into this place. No elbow space.They would only seat you if your entire party is there. We were 5. But there isn't really a place for us to wait without being right on top of some other diners tables. A bit awkward.“
“This place is the place to be if you're eating with a big group. Tapas are always such a great way to bond with others and share delicious food -- essentially sharing everything and tasting all sorts of flavors.Lisa was a fantastic server and I would recommend her over and over again.Emilio's Tapas Bar is A MUST GO.“
“We went to this restaurant for a family event. There were nine in our party and because of our party's size, we were seated in the building next to the restaurant. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable and the food was beyond delicious! We had heard good things and everything we heard was true. If you are looking for good Italian food, this is the place to go.“
“We had dinner tonight to celebrate our wedding anniversary, our server Joshua was awesome! Very attentive, friendly and well versed on menu. Highly recommend prime rib and Joshua for your next dining experience. You will not be disappointed.“

“My family and I came after an important religious ceremony. Although it was late, Sergio was attentive, friendly and provided excellent service! My parents are sometimes hard to please and they enjoyed themselves. We’ll be visiting again as a family!!“
“I had the most exceptional experience with Venuti's Banquets for my daughter's XV party. From the moment I reached out to inquire about hosting our event there, to the planning process with Ruby, to the actual day of the event, every detail was handled with professionalism and care.Ruby's assistance was invaluable - she made sure to note every little detail, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. The pace of the event was impeccable, the food was absolutely delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The attention we received was truly first class.I was so impressed with the service before, during, and after the event that I am already planning to rebook Venuti's Banquets for my next big party. I highly recommend Venuti's for anyone looking for a top-notch venue with amazing service and a wonderful staff. Thank you for making my daughter's special day even more memorable.“
“This was a great place for authentic Mexican food. I rate restaurants not on how fancy they are but on several factors. It starts with chips and salsa, then basic items like tacos (steak/al pastor), then enchiladas. I had tacos (steak, pastor and chile relleno). All were great. Of course service and cleanliness is essential. I highly recommend this place.“
“I was pleasantly surprised by everything; service, food & cost. Will definitely be going back for more. Had skirt steak & eggs with pancakes instead of toast. The cut of skirt steak was proper length, width & thickness. No weird thin cuts here. Also, the pancakes are amazing. The waitress was so friendly & attentive that she is the gold standard & one of the best I've had anywhere, my entire life. Nothing over the top of phoney, just a darn excellent person.“
“I was at the restaurant yesterday Valentines Day and sat at the bar. I had the Mahi-Mahi Dorado, Grilled Asparagus, Corn Chowder Soup, and a half pound of crab legs. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious! I appreciate that the calories are on the menu. The warm bread and olive oil was fabulous. Last but not least Jimmy, my server was excellent. (The prices are very reasonable as well) Looking forwarding to returning - maybe today!“
“I enjoy this restaurant. They have a great bar and make a wonderful old fashioned. Their oysters Rockefeller are out of this world. Best I have ever had and I’ve been to Antoine’s. Crispy chicken wasn’t. It was in a sauce and wasn’t special. Cheesecake Factory has better elote, and Jimmys hotdogs on Grand has better fries. We have had the steaks in the past and they are very good. Yesterday was like eating at a McDonalds playland. The couple seated after me saw where the host was going and said no, they wanted the remote room. I’ll remember that. You can at least have the adults in a quieter area. The service wasn’t great. It took 15 minutes for the waitress to come and get the drink order. Not exaggerating. A group who came after us were served dinner before we got our appetizers. The host came over often but it seemed kind of odd. They couldn’t figure out how to give us separate checks. But I’ll go back and have oysters as an entree or a steak.“

“First timer here and I will be back. Great service— perhaps due to time of day and it not being busy— but the servers were constantly asking/making sure I had enough side dishes and/or if I needed anything else.My meal came with refillable tea which was very nice. I got the bulgogi bento box and it was really delicious and worth the money for everything I got on my plate. I would love to try some of their other staple dishes as well.The vibe of the place was nice; they had k-pop music playing and a very clean aesthetic. I’ll def add this restaurant to my rotating list of staple places to eat at.“
“We had a fantastic dinner here! I had never been to Ditka’s before and it did not disappoint. The service was very friendly and the drinks/food were phenomenal. The new burrata appetizer has a burst of different flavors we marveled at and our main courses came out piping hot and incredibly delicious. We agreed this was the best meal we’ve had out in a long time. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back!!“
“Friendly staffs, Cozy and comfortable restaurant for family, couples, groups. Hot tea and water were offered once we seated Refreshing banchan were offered before our foods arrived, it doesn’t take long for our foods arrive. Crispy fried dumplings were good. Beef Raman noodles were not over cooked, The broth flavor was mild, but good. Beef bugogi was flavorful with rice on the side. Kimchee soup comes with noodles on the bottom side hot stone steamed rice along with the order. We all enjoyed our dishes. We get there right when they open. The place fills up quickly. Highly recommended.“
“Been many times. Keep coming back. Great waiter. Small kale and spinach salad. Can vary from time to time depending on when you go, i.e., kale not soft enough, not enough dressing, pepitas, etc. but this time..exquisite, salty, garlicky, lemony, texture of kale perfect. Entree-Branzino:light, flaky, flavorful, perfect preparation. Creamed spinach as it should be. So full. Birthday-took slice of flourless chocolate cake home complementary. Wonderful! Always go back here even when I say I want to try something else!“
“There's not enough space in this box to say how great Don's Dock is. From the cutie atmosphere inside, great family staff and long-time staff, to the best seafood which is cooked perfectly every single time, you can't beat it! Drove 45 each way because, simply put, it was totally worth it!!“
“Got a drink here on Saturday night and there was more than enough space for us! I liked how we got to decide if we wanted to sit on the quiet side or the bar side. The signature mule was amazing and my partners drink was made exactly to his liking.“
“If you haven’t checked this place out yet you absolutely said I went in for dinner with my family, but stopped at the bar first Kim and Brian were amazing and so much fun. I loved their energy George was our server he super friendly we had a lot of laughs! Thank you! Be back “
“We ordered chicken noodle soup, letting the waiter know that we were going to share. They thoughtfully split our order into two bowls and even gave us a little extra. The chicken noodle soup was delicious! The noodles were cooked perfectly, not too hard and not too soft. The broth was comforting, and the chicken and ingredients tasted fresh. It really was the best chicken noodle soup I've ever tried. The service was great too. We'll definitely be back again.“
“From the moment you walk in your greeted with a big smile and heartfelt welcome. It really sets the tone for a great dining experience. On top of the amazing service the food is amazing. Had the stuffed calamari and Veal Marsala. Will definitely be coming back more often.“
“The food delicious , sushi was very tasty . The desserts were pretty good . My family and I enjoyed the atmosphere here as well as the delicious sushi rolls . We got spicy salmon, spider roll ,caterpillar ,kamikaze ,chili mango . All very delicious .“
“What a wonderful experience. Now this is what a classic restaurant should be. The dining area was low lit, quiet with well trained waitstaff. Very nice and impressive. I asked if they could prepare an item not on the menu and they were very accommodating. The food was delicious, the background music was enjoyable and overall a great evening. We will definitely be back. I want to express my appreciation for an owner who understands what an adult evening out should be. Thank you.“
“We do steaks and king crab legs every Xmas Eve. We checked a number of places for king crab legs. Many didn't have them, OR had the crab clusters. Not the same thing. Supreme Lobster had them, and much more. We'll be going back thru the New Year for fresh seafood!“
“I went there today and I had to write a review. I found them on Google and live in a near by neighborhood. The food is delicious!!!! The restaurant was very clean and hand sanitizers were everywhere. The customer service was great!! I’m so glad I found them and don’t have to travel the city for jerk. Keep doing a great job!!!“
“Had a great experience my first time here. Food was delicious, portions were huge, and the service was phenomenal!! Service is what really stood out to me. Also they were very fast and gave a complimentary cookie and fortune cookie with the check. Highly recommended ! Try the combination rice can't go wrong.“
“I have been there many times, and the food is always fresh and delicious. I just ordered through grubhub, and that order was perfect. Also, having to be gluten-free was not a problem for them, which is always reassuring. Thank you, Poke Bros.Dietary restrictions: Have to be Gluten-free for medical reasons“
“Wow what a Jem! As soon as I walked in everyone was so friendly and the place was inviting. Jessica was our server and she was Fantastic! The food was Delicious! I have gone to every restaurant in Oakbrook but you guys are definitely the BEST! We will be back as we are foodies!“
“Number to share other than to say we really liked that place and enjoyed the food. Before we went there when I thought of Greek food I thought of gyros and that stuff in grape leaves. This place was a heck of a lot more than that and very yummy.“
“Amazing, fresh seafood! I won’t buy branzino or lake perch from anywhere else. Fair prices for the fresh, on-ice fish. Prices are a little steep for the actual restaurant, but again the quality is out of this world.Parking: Maybe 10 spots out front, some on the street“
“The atmosphere is cheery modern and clean. The service is good but some can't speak English. The food... mainly fish and seafood are fantastic. Their oysters are fresh and sweet. Prices are good and less than average. Main salsa is solid with a strong tomato and onion flavor. The chips are possibly the best I've had. Warm and flaky.“
