We will return , perhaps for a weekend brunch.”

Siam Paragon 503 Main St, Evanston Thai • $

“Recently had dinner at Paragon on Main street in Evanston. Our last time eating there was probably 15-20 years ago! It was a little later on a summer Saturday evening so the restaurant was a little quieter. We were seated in a comfortable booth and ordered a couple of dishes. Papaya salad (Som Tum) which was outstanding piled high and super fresh. Asked for it medium but it came not very spicy. Offered additional thai chiles which we sprinkled on and that did the trick. Perfect spice level and flavor.
Ordered MooShu pork which came already pancake wrapped (3) which seemed a bit odd....but was flavorful and very generous w/the protein. Also got a curry dish w/thai eggplant, peanuts & potato and our protein was tofu which was very tasty. Generous portion w/rice. Service was efficient and very good value. Would definitely go back to try other dishes.”

“If you dont like it too spicy thisnjs for you! /his is by far the best Jamaican spot yet ! The sauce is delicious, the meats were tender and soft. Cabbage was my favorite. Would 100% go back everytime I'm in town. Only opinion: if you are not serving an item at that time it should not be on the menu”

Overall, it was a wonderful meal, greatly appreciated by everyone. We'll return!”

LeTour Brasserie 625 Davis St, Evanston French • $$$

“Amy Morton doesn't know me at all. We live 235 miles away and we are not able to dine at her restaurant anytime soon. Nevertheless, we sent a blind inquiry looking for information on a performer who appeared at Found Kitchen 3 years ago. Our inquiry is never going to make any money for Amy, we know that and she knows that. Altho she could have blown off our request, she had her staff reach out to us the next day with all of the contact info we possibly could need....because she's an awesome business person and a great restaurenteur! Every restaurant comes up short on the quality of an entree from time to time, water glasses might not get refilled as rapidly as a Yelp reviewer might want......it happens. We wanted to share with your FB viewers our experience with Amy's staff and let you all know how much we appreciate her and her dedication to customer service.”

IHOP 100 Asbury Ave, Evanston Breakfast • $

“This restaurant is really outstanding and really great for the image of Evanston's southern end. The food is fantastic and I very much enjoy everything from the Bacon Temptation Omelette to the Spicy Poblano Omelette to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Cowboy Burger. All of the food is fabulous and very well prepared, the variety is wonderful, and the coffee is always fresh. And above all, Ivan and the waitstaff provide customer service that's 'above and beyond' in every way. They're very kind, compassionate, efficient, and accomodating to everybody who comes into the establishment. Keep up the great work!”

Mensch's Deli 1608 Chicago Ave, Evanston Vegan • $

“I have been a patient at a re hab center nearby for 3 weeks.Tempting me with different foods so I would eat better, she brought me a half of a turkey sandwich and supposedly a cup of vegetable soup.

I think the soup was a pint, it was fabulous, all veggies were cooked perfectly. When she pulled out the turkey sandwich without unwrapping it I thought by the Wieght I thought she got me a full one. I don't know how they make money. She was bringing them almost every day. I'm leaving here tomorrow and am really going to miss their food. I wish they really had one by where I live.”

“The workers here make great smoothies. I love the island green smoothie. And lately I get the detox island green (less calories) and I also add whey protein. This Tropical Smoothie is about a block away from 2 of Evanston's gyms (EAC and the Lifetime gym), so its a great location for a post-workout healthy and delicious smoothie.

They also do the discount for military/police/fireman, which is definitely appreciated! Thanks!”
