“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.“
“Attended a private event .The Coastal Grill is where land meets sea. Brightly colored interior offering 3 different kitchens..Raw Bar,Sushi and Coastal Grill.We were lucky to sample a few different cocktails as well as Humus Crudits,Tuna and Beef Tartar,Lemon Chicken Satay and a variety of sushi.The Beef Tartar was delicious,the Chicken Satay was moist and flavorful and the sushi was fresh and amazing!Great location with plenty of parking. I will definitely be back !“
“This was our fourth time here and it was again a lovely meal. Our waitress Melinda was excellent. The bourbon cocktail, Caesar salad, chef's special salmon and miso black cod dinners were great. Noise level is high but otherwise all excellent.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
“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!!“
“Came here with my wife while we were in town for a marriage conference. It was a busy Saturday night, but we had a reservation so the wait wasn't bad. Service was excellent and they got us helped very promptly, even with the full house!I ordered pollo marsala (pictured) with The Godfather (drink). Both were excellent! My wife ordered the pappardelle al nonno and she liked it as well. Great atmosphere as well. Would recommend the high tables if you're on a date as they're a bit more tucked away.Parking: We went on a Saturday evening (6:30 reservation) and didn't have any issues finding parking. Used the side lot which is shared by the other businesses nearby and found a couple spots immediately.“
“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.“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“I had dinner here while traveling. Great spot. Sat at the bar. Had a Caesar salad, fire baked bread, and the prime rib, plus a bourbon. Food was excellent, service was really good by the bartenders who waited on me as they did not rush me to try and turn customers which I really am a fan of. 5 stars, would eat here again.“
“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 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.“
“Capital Grille is an outstanding place to dine. Our waiter, Art, was very attentive and polite and professional. Our lobster salads were delicious, and they also provided special birthday surprises. I highly suggest you plan a meal at this exceptional restaurant!“
“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.“
“Had the porkchops, it was enough for three people and was incredibly good. The restaurant is a well oiled machine, just getting people in, fed, and out the door. Everything was fine, no complaints. Just not relaxed and quaint for my taste but this is what you should expect from a good steakhouse in the center of a popular higher end shopping center.We went on a Saturday night and Parking was a nightmare.“
“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.“
“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.“
“I'd like to state that while the food was delicious for the price and atmosphere I unfortunely became very underwhelmed. This was my first time dining at Fogo and thought that Oak brook would be an excellent location. To my disappointment the experience was not to my expectations. Staff was friendly and food was fresh. However, at times staff forgot to bring me a plate after having taken it. I had food spilled on me twice which left my arm sticky. I understand accidents happen but thankfully I didn't bring a light shirt or else that would've been ruined. While walking around the salad bar I slipped. Floors were very slipper. Did not seem clean or safe. I Came for the food but also was expecting a more nicer ambiance.I hate being so critical. This experience could've been great but the setting wasn't for me. Staff is great and maybe just the nerves got the best of them. I'll give it that.Here my recommendation. Tables should be spread apart just a tad bit. They were so close I felt suffocated. Woman also bring bags and I had nowhere to set my bag down.I will come back however the fancy experience I thought I would have did not happen. To me Fogo is unfortunely one of those places where you come to just stuff your face. If you expect to have a fancy experience lower those expectations.pros: come hungry, leave satisfieddrinks were greatthey provide fresh cutscons: setting is not the besttables are too closefloors are stickyit is messynot fancy/ more chain restaurant vibesIn all I do recommend.“
“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.“
“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 .“
“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.“
“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 think the people rating less than 4 stars are the same ones that say Taco Burrito King is delicious.. yuk, don't trust them. I'm Mexican and grew up in a Mexican household. Verde Avocado is the CLOSEST Mexican food that actually taste like home. Authentic zesty flavors, authentic salsas, authentic/best Horchata I've had. I order from this place at least once a week. Service is always great and staff takes pride in their restaurant.“
“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“
“Great seafood! Fresh, prepared well. Good service. Generous portions.Spaces have been updated since I was here before covid. It's beautifulTook my husband and friends for our anniversary. The food is still fantastic! Space feels like an outdoor venue! I ordered the steamed lobster ro on a pretzel bun. Delicious. We were presented from the restaurant a lovely sharable chocolate cake!“
“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 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!!!“
“Great shrimp boil! I got the garlic butter medium heat and it was perfect. First time I went I got the hottest one and it was really spicy. (I love a lot of spicy) the medium was perfect. Also added noodles(linguine) and hard boiled eggs. Delicious!“
“excellent food and service. The grilled artichoke is amazing. Don't know why they don't serve "Arnold Palmers"....they never seem to have lemonade in stock. Worth several revisits.Thai Kai salad and grilled rainbow trout....what a lovely lunch combination ?Seared ahi tuna...wild rice orzo and Citron tea...a new favorite combo“
“What can I say other than get ready to party! This is a fun, lively and serve very tasty dishes. It's a culinary party for both all of your senses!Let's take this journey together.We come here to celebrate, birthdays and special locations, and it never disappoints. Last visit was for mom's birthday as this is her favorite place. It was eight of us, and since this place does not take reservations, there was a bit of a wait. About 30 minutes. That is the only thing that I do not like about this place, they do not take reservations.Everything else is great.We ordered a ton of different items from the menu, and several birthday margaritas were slid around the table.Ceviche MixtoMolcajete Mar y TierraCarne TampiquenaMar y Tierra Mi CompadreLevanta MuertosCamaronesChapuzónJust to name a few. They were fantastic! The cuts of meat were pleasant and high quality. The seafood was good size and flavorful. Drinks were flowing like the ocean these ingredients came from.The weekend mariachi came over and serenade mom with her favorite Mexican mariachi songs and a traditional birthday song.What a great time was had by all!“
“I almost don't want to write this review. I feel that this hidden gem is going to blow up, and then I will not be able to just walk in whenever I want.This is a new-ish place in the northwest side of Chicago and it was a pleasant and surprising addition to our neighborhood. The place is big and nicely decorated and boasts an incredible Mexican inspired seafood menu.The drinks are wonderful! I just can't say enough about them. Very upscale and very delicious.We ordered the Levanta Muertos, and the salmon à la Plancha. Both were amazing! The levanta muertos has this Nayarit sauce that is silky and elegant and a delightfully complex. Similarly, the Salmon has a hit of it and was to die for.All in all, a Great experience and will definitely be back!“
“Food was really good! The pulled pork sandwich was excellent! The burgers were delicious! The kids meals were good! I'm only keeping it at a 4/5 stars because we waited for almost an hour for our food. The waitress was great and everything about it was great! I would definitely recommend and go here again, just don't be in a hurry.“
“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“
“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!“
“This is my favorite Greek restaurant in the country and one of my top 3 go-to places in the NW Chicago suburbs. The service is friendly and very attentive, and the food is beyond amazing. Do yourself a favor and order the "flaming cheese" -- a lot of it! Opa!“
“It was a late night dinner and we were looking for someplace good and luckily Jameson's was still open. Coffee was good and we were very happy w the pork chops, chicken philly and chicken club sandwiches. That being said my salad lacked tomatoes and cucumbers. My chops were advertised to be center cut loin and I got one loin and one rib chop.“
“Absolutely delicious meal and wonderful service. The crab cakes and macadamia crusted halibut (special) were incredible! Great selection of on tap beer and custom cocktails. Highly recommend checking it out. Not cheap, but the quality is apparent.Parking: Recommend going to the garage and waking if possible. Lots of traffic in the the lots.“
“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.“
