“We had a great meal here on January 9, 2023! Our server, Jesse, was fantastic! Very friendly, fabulous service, he made our dining experience over the top! I hope RA knows what a gem they have in Jesse…treat him well, RA! He certainly takes excellent care of your customers!“
“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.“
“Sunday lunch was a wonderful experience for several reasons. The restaurant was open according to their posted store hours. A few years ago, this would have been a silly compliment. But these days, we have had several encounters in which we would arrive at an eatery and notice the doors are still locked even though it's past their usual store open hours. Needless to say, service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. Our party of six shared the smoked trout dip, calamari, charred pepperoni pizza, white mushroom and truffle pizza, Italian cheesecake, and tiramisu. The smoked trout dip is a tad high on sodium but I really like how it was served with flaxseed crackers. The pizza are served Romana style, therefore rectangular and fluffy. The crust is thin but with a crunch. Even better, they are half-price on Sundays!“
“Service was great even though we came 10 minutes before closing, additionally we got absolutely great recommendations from supporting staff. The drinks were superb. Food was delicious. Favorite was the octopus! -Overhead lighting was a minus though. Bring sunglasses.“
“Had myself a slice of cheese pizza, a breaded steak sandwich and a cannoli and it was all very delicious! This area needed a place with slices hot and ready to go that isn't a gas station and I couldn't be happier with the quality of this place! Will be my go to heading to work for a slice! A week later I got a 16" pizza half cheese half sausage and it was cooked to perfection. A lot of other places I have to ask for well done but Legends knows how to do it without even asking! The mozzarella sticks and breaded mushrooms were also excellent. Highly recommend and will be coming back frequently!“
“enjoyed a delicious meal and caught a fabulous show by brooklyn charmers -- excellent space for live music. FAIR WARNING: there is a small room to the left of the front door from which you cannot see the band (there are video monitors though), so call ahead to make your reservation and ensure you are seated in the main room if you want to see the band.“
“I love this Family-owned business and especially that it is owned by a veteran. My family has been coming here for years, and my go to was always the Shrimp tacos! My last time in with a friend I tried a Burger. I highly recommend The Burgatory. Goat cheese on a burger- Who knew? It's drool-worthy. The other new addition I'm obsessed with is the Fried Pickles and Cheese curds appetizer. Why has no one else thought to combine these two before? And their homemade pie is unbeatable! New flavor each week. The staff is fabulous and these guys just celebrated 15 years in business. Cheers to Ellyn's Tap & Grill.“
“I've been here many times now, and love it!! It's busy most weekends and holidays and nights tbh, lol. So expect a bit of a wait, sometimes. It's worth it. Besides you can walk up the street and have a quick beer at Orange and Brew or Emmett's Brewing Co. while you're on their waiting list. It's just a short walk; get that 5 minute walk in for beer and food!! Enjoy and cheers!“
“One of the best coffee roasters in the western burbs, and definitely my favorite coffee shop to work from. Their signature and seasonal drinks are great, plus this location also serves cocktails. Highly recommend!Parking: Parking is ample, but can be a bit tricky due to the layout of the building.“
“This place is truly a hidden gem. We were recommended to check this spot out by a local bartender, and we are so glad we did! The ambiance was really chill and non pretentious. Our mixologist, David, was super personable and well versed in his craft. He’s bringing experience from cocktail programs in the city to the burbs! It was a cute little spot that gave speakeasy vibes. We initially thought we were underdressed, but this place wasn’t booshie at all, and there was no judgement like some places. The cocktails were creative and well balanced. I’m so glad we have a place like this nearby. We will definitely be back soon!Update:We just went back because of our previous experience. I brought a group of 10 (all industry people). We spent over 1k as a group for my friend’s 40th bday. I raved about this place only to feel unwelcome in the end. A young female bartender tells us we were too loud. Honestly, we obviously had a lot to drink, but nobody was being reckless. We were told people were complaining. From a business standpoint you made us feel unwelcome in an establishment where we spent money. Take the $60 2 top who complained over what we spent there tonight? At least pull one of us aside instead of making a grand announcement. Chad you’re a great and talented owner, but train your staff how to talk to people. Just tell us, dont make a scene.“
“Atmosphere makes or breaks a bar. Place was fun and tons to do. Between video gambling to board games. Definitely a great place to hangout with friends and have a few well prices great drinks. Service was fast and bartenders very friendly. 10/10 “
“This resturant is an absolute gem! The cocktail list is impressive and delicious. There are multiple, delicious craft Mexican-inspired cocktails. If you like spicy, be sure to select something with the homemade jalapeño simple syrup! The food was excellent. It is no exaggeration when I state that I had the BEST ground beef taco I have ever had. The al pastor taco and guacamole were delicious as well. Locals, we need to keep this place open. This family-owned and run resturant is a wonderful addition to our community!“
“As always, Chef Paul’s restaurants are right on point. Katherine and I collectively have been to Vistro (Prime) a few times . . . and the food, craft cocktails, and atmosphere make for an excellent social and culinary experience. It was wonderful to see Patrick doing the Mixology while the other restaurant is in process of opening apparently this spring.This time around, Katherine and I stopped by for a craft cocktail, and we ended up enjoying the happy hour oysters that were very good.I have never offered a single suggested critique of Vie or Vistro.The only request I have is for the manager of Vistro Prime is to check the barstools at the bar.My barstool was wobbly, and it likely/ simply needs to be tightened up. I’m a handy person and have constructed and repaired barstools; so possibly, the hardware for some of your barstools needs to be tightened up and or repaired.They are beautiful barstools!Other than that, I completely recommend Vistro Prime to every and anyone that receives this review and all my friends and family as always!“
“Hands down the best slider trio I have ever had. Regular cheeseburger was terrific. Buffalo chicken with blue cheese was outstanding. But the winner was the pot roast slider. Wow. Tons of flavor and very juicy. We had never been to down Elmhurst and decided to try this gem. We will be back!!!“
“I'm from Central Illinois but do quite a bit of traveling and have been searching for the type of birria I have eaten in both Mexico and on the west coast. Every place before has left me wanting, searching for the angel that is true birria and consume. This place totally delivered. The meat was so incredible tender, the onions adding a bit of crunch, and the consume was not only full flavor (and the perfect level of heat) but had that distinct mouthfeel I've been looking for.If you're looking for great authentic Mexican food you have got to try this place. I seriously don't remember the last time something was so good I was compelled to leave a review.“
“Ate in Wheaton. Our server was a delight and gave us attention. Asked for mor corn chips. What I was not happy about was my Paella . Such a small portion of Paella with Mussels added around edge with bread slices around bowl. Covered with Raw cabbage slaw! Slaw was not needed. Oh and can we talk about ever shrinking Gauc trio!?!! I swear a tablespoon of each. Not sure if it was just an off night or the difference between Wheaton and Geneva. Never had a bad meal in Geneva Altiro.“
“This has been my second time here. Everything from the ambience to the food and service is incredible. I have tried almost everything on the menu and the item that I am least impressed with are the fires. Everything else on the menu has so much flavor and the presentation is on point. They offer a nice selection of wines. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.“
“Had the best experience dining here with coworkers. Jess was our server and was warm and welcoming, offering suggestions and pairings, and had the beat timing- we never felt rushed or interrupted. The martinis and crafted cocktails were as delicious as they were beautiful. Appetizers were delicious and the portion size was great- don't miss the brussel sprouts! Now the sushi... wow- creative and meticulously prepared rolls and sashimi with a menu that has something for everyone-- and the vegan options are incredible! Can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great night out and a. fantastic service experience.“
“My boyfriend and I went to Tannins for his birthday and ordered a flight of wine. It was awesome, the bartender was really nice and super great about suggesting menu items to try. We tried one of the cheese plates and loved it! We will definitely be back :).“
“Prices are reasonable, and the portion of food is filling.The loaded baked potato, isn't worth paying that extra $, for they only sprinkle a little cheese and bacon on it.We usually go for the Road Kill dinner, and switched it up to having the chicken, I got to say it had a great flavor.Texas Road House in Bloomingdale, Illinois has been our favorite one!“
“If you haven't been here what are you waiting for? This place has such a creative menu with unique but approachable food and drinks, excellent service and a really cool vibe. The prices are very reasonable especially for what the menu has to offer. They have a great brunch on weekends. Happy hour and half off wine Wednesdays are also a great time to go. They also have a private event space in their deli shop which is adjacent to the restaurant. Be sure to check out the subs and salads in the deli shop and also consider hosting a private event in the event space which holds up to 40 people.“
“A bowler's bowling alley! Everything is clean and well maintained, lanes are well oiled. The technology and interior are straight out of the 80s and 90s. Prices are very reasonable.With Elk Grove closed, this is turning into my new go-to alley.“
“I have gone here for breakfast twice a week for several years, and I am somewhat pickey when it come to food.The prices are modest considering the quality of the food and serving size.The service is prompt, friendly, and courteous.What more can you ask for or expect.“
“You gotta open a joint down here in Florida...West Palm Beach. There no frigging good Italian food. Forgettaboutit ..the bread sucks... closest good food is at the market! Gotta make it! The ones down here trying to do it..can't do it!!! Period!!! I gotta ship my bread from home, providence rhode island. We need a place like yours. Just pick up that building and put it down here! I know a good spot..! Love ya style....“
“Great flavors in the dishes we ordered. My favorites include the Siberian Dumplings, breaded pork tenderloin and the schnitzels. I like all the schnitzels but I like the veal the best. The other entrees we enjoyed include Chicken Kiev and the pork shank. This is the place for Lithuanian food.“
“Absolutely loved this place! The service was great, and the inviting atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a fun night out with friends. Our bartender was very attentive and friendly ensuring that we were happy with our food and drinks. Already can’t wait to go back! Highly recommended!“
“As a frequent shopper at the mall, I saw this restaurant all the time and wondered if it was any good.Tried it on a whim and I can confirm it is excellent. Fresh food that is just to die for. Everything tasted like it had just been harvested that day. So fresh. Atmosphere was very nice, especially at nightHighly recommended.Parking: It is in the oakbrook Mall, so parking is plentiful, just a little bit of a walk depending on where you park.“
“The place was amazing!!! The atmosphere, service, food was delicious. I was w a group of 12 celebrating a birthday and we definitely had a good time golfing, taking pics. We was on the Amber Emerald side. I'm definitely returning back to this establishment“
“Food is consistently good. Love the toasted pork belly and cheese sammich and tomato soup for dipping. One comment is that I love the music at lunch. It's classic rock mostly, right up my alley, and not played so loud you can't talk to the people at your table. For dinner, my wife and I are hesitant, because depending on who is controlling the music, it can be very loud and very annoying and repetitive music. I can handle most music but not so loud I can't talk to the people at my table. Otherwise this is a great place for me - close to home, with very good beer and food.“
“Love coming here on my lunch break the burgers are so juicy ? knock back a couple cold one, they always got a couple games on. Very cozy place ! The staff is great! Always coming with a huge smile and cheerful welcome! Ed is a Rockstar there ! The owner's are Great always accommodating to us best way possible. Definitely recommend it for guys night! My wife always goes there on wine ?? Wednesdays ?“
“Good Tequila's. Goodness. Moved to IL 5 years ago and finally found my favorite Mexican restaurant. Chips are fresh, the wait staff are on point and friendly. Lately, they've been giving out samples of the chicken chipotle soup and it's BOMB! It tastes homemade and just warms you up. I the chicken chimichangas are crisp and melts in your mouth. This last time we went for dinner, I had the steak and chicken fajitas. It was excellent! Portion sizes are good too. We went for dinner on a Friday and a live mariachi band came out and played, it was great! Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.“
“I took my mom here for lunch. We were surprised by the service and quality. It wasn't what we expected for a restaurant inside the mall. We had a margarita (excellent), lobster bisque, spinach and artichoke appetizer and salmon. It was delicious! The dessert was even better!! We recommend the red velvet cupcake and lemon ricotta cookie. We just wish they had cappuccino. They only serve regular coffee.“
“Quaint place for awesome cocktails. A good and interesting list to choose from. Small and intimate place. The sliders were ok. Small plates menu with about 5 things on it. I would go here for before or after dinner cocktails and eat at Babbocks which is connected to this “
