“Great little local spot for Asian cuisine. Have you eaten here a handful of times, food is always consistently good and hot. This time I ordered the egg rolls, shrimp w vegetables and ginger chicken dish, satisfyingly yummy! Approximately $26 for the entire meal. Would definitely recommend checking spot out in Elmwood Park.“
“Small footprint with a ton of people coming, so get here early and wait for them to open it check for reservations or some kind, otherwise you'll definitely be waiting!Great atmosphere, great service, and absolutely delicious food. Highly recommend the dry pot chicken as the spices and oils have that great numbing and continuing heat. Only tried one specialty cocktail, but it was top notch as well.Parking: Saturday evening, lots of space on the street for parking. That's a wildly variable thing for an n of one, though.“
“I ordered chicken kalamaki & lemon potatoes. I am picky eater and I was pleasantly surprised how amazing both items were. Tender juice chicken and garlicky lemon potatoes, mmmmm!!!! Ordered take out, but the restaurant was packed! I really loved the ambiance. I’m looking forward to dining in!“
“I'm a sucker for Heritage's Happy Hour Oyster for a while so had to circle back for the restaurant week. The whole experience was giving East meets West as it covers a good range of dishes/inspired cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised with how each courses was planned out, with very balanced flavor combinations, leaving me full but not uncomfortably stuffed. My favorite we're definitely the tuna crudo, braised beef and fiancier, hopefully that make the official menu one day. Overall great experience and the downstairs speakeasy space makes it so fun to eat and catch up.“
“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.“
“Few months late! Came to Penumbra for Valentine’s Day and it was such a great choice. Ambiance set was really intimate, requested the private curtain area ahead of time and it felt like we were on our own place. Felt like a family owned place. The food and service were equally as good and on our way out an employee handed us a small rose shaped soap and thanked us for dining in. We had the bocaditos quesadilla which was the best version of a quesadilla we’ve had, shadow shrimp, a flat iron steak, and surf and turf. We ate/loved everything.“
“What can I tell you! 5 rolls for $45. Better than most OVERPRICED rolls at restaurants. Always fresh and they don't hold back on the contents.Don't play with the meter maids on Lawrence, they write tickets like it's a contestThis is the BEST place for party trays BTW“
“My father introduced my family to Hagen’s 50 years ago. He would go fishing on Lake Michigan and bring his fish here to have it smoked. Hagen’s was a staple at our house during Lent. So nostalgic for my family and I. No one else compares to their fried shrimp and homemade cocktail sauce. Just stopped in today to get some. Was met with great service and given the same great quality of shrimp as always.“
“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“
“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“
“My son had done some photography (OMWP Photography 2108 Armitage) work for the business and had tried the cuisine. Raved about it. Sent me photos. Hence why we were there tonight. I took him out. My pleasure. The owner Zyra gracious and caring. I had Potato soup that was incredible. A Chicken Tostada Zyras moms recipe and she made a couple changes the sauces wow! The steaks I had a Ribeye. One of the best ever. I have dined at all the high end eateries steak joints in the city. This place is a gem. Had to try the desert. We had a chocolate flourless fudge cake. We indulged. I wish Zyra and her husband much success. Jacob Kaufman and I will be back. Thanks, L. Kaufman DDS“
“An amazing hidden gem in the heart of Albany Park! There are few Colombian restaurants in Chicago, but this one competes to be on the top. The arroz paisa is a pleasure if you are a meat lover. The arepas are huge and delicious. Portions are what you pay for. Bring an appetite!“
“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.“
“I ordered the taco dinner with al pastor and steak. The portions were well served and the salsas they have are tasty. They bring out a small bowl of soup when you sit down and it was great way to start the meal. The micheladas are also great. I will definitely return and try something from their seafood menu“
“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.“

“My dining experience here was great, our server was Matt, he was very attentive, made sure our experience was great. The food didn't take too long considering they had a big party going on while we were seated. Definitely recommend coming in here ! And ask for Matt he won't disappoint!“
“Carmen, our server was fabulous. Table was quiet, which was very nice and we felt our conversation wasn’t listened in on.I selected the skirt steak with the chimichurri. My fiancé had the sea bass on special. Antipasto to share as an appetizer. Bread was warm, butter whipped.Cocktails were good. Would absolutely come back again.The only weird thing, the chairs are leather. The seat I had was clearly stained, not sure what with, but it wasn’t wet or sticky. But the brown stain was a little off putting, but I totally forgot about it once I sat.“
“Suda’s offers delicious Lebanese cuisine in an upscale and intimate dining space. We came in a large group and got to try out a variety of dishes, all amazed by the flavors and beautiful plating of the food — the roasted cauliflower (Arnibit), falafel, and baba ghanouj were delicious appetizers; among the mains, we loved the shrimp and lamb skewers, while the mixed grill offered a variety of meats; for dessert, the Knaef was a sweet and decadent standout. The prices here are on a slightly higher end, but the exceptional quality of the food makes it well worth it.“
“Great food, the chicken was outstanding and the service couldn’t be better. It had this comforting atmosphere and wouldn’t change a thing about it!Kid-friendliness: The owner is very kindhearted and trustworthy! He treated my son very kindly and even helped him by giving suggestions based on his favorite foods!“
“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.“
“The variety and healthy choices keep me coming back to Poke Okie. Whether I'm really hungry or just want a drink, this place is great. I love the Blue Avocado smoothie and I like the options in building my own sushi bowl. The place is modern and the staff are very friendly.“
“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.“
“I popped in just to meet my friend but then I had a dirty martini and now I am OBSESSED with it. You don’t expect much from a dirty martini right? It’s dirty. That’s it. Yum. And this was…… so good. Something about this dirt. Cuz I asked the bartender and he was saying something about the brine, it was somehow floral? He said the brine - not the vermouth. Idc. I just want another one. And then there’s the story: which I never got right, so I will irresponsibly spread it around here to generate more sensation. Something about… the original owner was tragically shot and died on the premises, in the bar. The wife shuttered the place and went upstairs for sixty years. The new owners kept the interior, the bar has original wood work and features. It is o. L. D. In a good way. I have no idea if that story is accurate or true. But I loved believing it while I was in there. What a great thing to be so surprised by a bar on division in wicker park! I love Chicago!“
“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.“
“had an incredible experience at this restaurant! the staff was extremely hospitable and accommodating. i have a lot of food allergies and they were able to make all accommodations and double check everything. the food was DELICIOUS. our table got the Grigliato Misto, a new salad (forget the name but it had an assortment of berries and grapes - SO REFRESHING!!!), broiled lake superior whitefish, roasted brussels sprouts, and a seasonal new drink - espresso old fashion.grigliato misto - 10/10. good portion, great flavor, cooked perfectlysalad - 10/10, honestly could have eaten just this with how good it wasbrussels sprouts - 9/10 the brussels were huge but the flavor was really goodbroiled lake superior whitefish - 6/10 it was fine but it wasn’t anything special. it was missing some flavorsespresso old fashion - 9/10“
“I love ordering pick up here. The website makes it super easy. My healthy, delicious salad with sustainable salmon is ready in less than 10 minutes. It helps to keep me on track with eating well and it’s delicious at the same time. I sometimes treat myself to the amazing tater tots or switch it up with their catch of the day. Love it here.“
“Amazing and delicious. All of the rolls were tried were so yummy and not overly saucy like most others. My favorite was the crispy rice with salmon. Love the texture. And the turtle roll was fun and different. Knocked one star off because we felt like we were rushed out of there after only being there an hour but overall this place is really great!“
“I wish I'd taken some pics of the inside of this cozy little seafood wonder. While their menu is extensive, I'd been craving fresh oysters since New Years. That's what I went in for, having called first, just to check.I ordered 3 plain and 3 preparado oysters, which was a special request. to the chef. While I was waiting, I got a nice bow; of seafood broth with a large shell-on head on shrimp. Delightful!Unfortunately, Google isn't letting me upload the video I took.This is a hidden gem. I hope more people will go there for late lunch, as I did.“
“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!!“
“Wild Fork offers a delightful shopping experience with its combination of reasonable prices, a vast selection of high-quality meat, and an impressive variety of options. The affordability of their products ensures that customers can enjoy premium cuts without breaking the bank. With an extensive range to choose from, Wild Fork stands out as a go-to destination for meat enthusiasts seeking both value and variety.“
“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.“
“Our server Art was amazing. He went out of his way to split items for as upon presentation. The lamb chops were superb and the lobster Mac was Devine but what shown above all was out warm and attentive service from Art. Will be returning and highly recommend! ??“
“Enjoyed Market Table. Plenty selection of vegetables but limited fruits (papaya is not fresh, orange is OK).There were no artichokes and sun dried tomatoes.Salmon (too soft, lacking texture) and prosciutto was dry, not fresh.Excellent service, especially James.Music was loud; even waiters complain. We couldn’t hear well.Other Fogo de Chao Chicago area locations have more variety and freshness for the same price.“
“I love a place that does one thing really well. And Frank's does fried fish well. I ordered the Chicago Gulf Shrimp and they were perfectly cooked. Crispy outside. Meaty inside. I got it with the mild sauce which is this nice mix of smoky and sweet. I also had a side of the Fried Cauliflower and loved those. If you can, bring cash to save on your bill. Looking forward to coming back for more.Vegetarian options: Outside of the Fries and Cauliflower I don't think there's much here for a vegetarian.Parking: If you can find parking on Irving Park you'll be fine.Kid-friendliness: There's no kids menu. The smallest amount you can order is a half pound. So depending on how much your kids eat, they should do fine here.Wheelchair accessibility: Ordering shouldn't be a problem. Everything is on the first floor. Dining in may be difficult at there's only one counter that's about four feet high.“
“Drove from Milwaukee to eat here! Amazing food and server(possibly the owner) was such a humble woman. Energy and atmosphere was really nice as well. Lastly everything we ordered was hot and fresh. ❤️ Thank you for the hospitality Clari and Jenn Milwaukee,WI.“
“Pleasantly surprised when we came in for happy hour and had a great experience. Cori was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area. The whipped feta ❤️Vegetarian options: I liked that there were various options from shared plates to salads to “sushi” rolls.“
“The best burger and fries I have had in a long time. I'm not a big special sauce person but whatever they put in theirs is everything. Soft buns and tasty burger which they stated they make in house. If you're a fry snob like me these are fresh hand-cut fries. I will be back.“
“Been coming here for years!! With new owners this place is still a gem great customer service very very nice staffI drive an hour just to come and eat my jumbo shrimp !! Always fresh they have much more to choose .. I recommend this place to anyone that love fresh hot delish yummy Shrimp and much more“
“I dined at Oceanique for my birthday during Restaurant Week, so my friend and I enjoyed a special three-course menu. I had the striped bass and my friend had swordfish. We finished with the pot de crème. Everything was a-maz-ing! Harry was our waiter, and the service was impeccable.“
“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 .“
“We were in Skokie looking for somewhere to eat some Mexican food and found this place. The food was so delicious! The staff was Amazing and we enjoyed their interactions... Will definitely go back to try more of their Menu! Thank you!Kid-friendliness: They were so patient with my grandkids and made our visit nice.“
“(Translated by Google) A very cozy place with a nice atmosphere. Delicious food and drinks, I loved it. I will definitely come back.(Original)Un lugar muy acogedor y agradable ambiente . la comida y las bebidas deliciosa , me encanto. Definitivamente volveré .“
“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!!!“
“Service at Hemingway's is always wonderful. Onion soup is always outstanding! My husband's steak was excellent. Chicken pot pie was under salted and sort of flavorless. Everything could have been about half the size. Lovely setting, but tables are very close together. On Valentine's Day, the crowded atmosphere was a little overwhelming. I have had better food at Hemingway's on many occasions, so I will still go there and recommend it to friends.“
“The food at Saban's can't be beat. We had the pork chops. They were cooked to perfection, delicious, beautiful presentation, plentiful amounts enough for another meal. The service was great. And the prices are like going back in time. I seriously don't know why anyone would want to eat any place else.“
“Not easy to find a better pizza place than this. Cheese blend is top-notch, sauce is tasty, and the crust stays crisp.Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating toward food allergiesParking: Neighborhood parking, never more than a block or two“
“It’s about time Chicago gets solid West African cuisine. Dozzy didn’t disappoint. Had the Designer Jollof Rice Bowl and it was delicious. I combined it with a couple orders of the shrimp suya sticks which put it over the top. Now, I loved the jollof, but that’s to be expected. What wasn’t expected was the shrimp. I can honestly say it was some of the best I’ve ever had. The herbs were perfect and it was grilled just the way I like it. I’ve known Dozzy for a long time and I’m so happy he’s sharing his gift to the world. Y’all get some.“
“Beyond expectations! Countless memories of a night filled with joy and celebration - thank you Valladolid Banquet Hall for making my daughters quince amazing. Very emotional seeing my daughter's dream exactly how we envision it coming true. Beautiful decor, service was great, and the food was delicious. We can't wait to be back. Please keep us up to date with any upcoming events! Thank you Valladolid Banquet Hall 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.“
