“What an amazing place! I had heard how hard it was to get reservations at this restaurant and now I know why!!! I really thought how different or better could Sweet and Sour Chicken be than the hundreds of other times that I've had it, but now I know!!! From the appetizers to main dishes, everything was absolutely amazing. Such unique and delicious tastes. A must try and a must return!“

“Great experience while visiting Chicago over St Patty's weekend. Went with friends mid afternoon. We had reservations and luckily so because the place was packed. Ambiance is awesome. The food and drinks were top notch. I had a lamb pot pie. It came with a huge portion of bone marrow. The beef tartare was also amazing. Only pic I ended up getting while there. Still thinking about it. I hope to make it there again someday“

“First off, the vibes here are immaculate. The restaurant is located on the second floor of Soho House, and the ambiance is very intimate--perfect for a smaller party. The menu is pretty straightforward. There aren't a lot of options to choose from, but each item is very unique. What we ordered: Caliente en los Trópicos: pretty yummy! Supposed to be spicy, but the spice is not overbearing at all. An interesting cocktail. Ceviche: a great way to start the dinner. Very shareable; love the balance of sour and savory flavors. Tuna Tostada: my favorite! I've never had a tuna tostada before, and it's nothing like what I expected. Mussels: you cannot go wrong with the mussels. The bread goes so well with this. Considering the dishes seem so original and the quick service, I'd definitely recommend this spot to my friends.“

“All I can say is WOW! This steakhouse was incredible! Cannot recommend enough. The meat paradise was truly an experience and a delicious one at that. Our server, Leo, was probably one of the best servers we’ve ever had anywhere with his charismatic personality and caring service. He truly made this restaurant a memorable time! Forget about Brazilian steak houses or what not, money was WAY better spent here! Photo is before the delicious steak was grilled to our liking in front of us.“

“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.“

“We have wanted to try Lena Brava for a while, and I'm really happy we did! Everything we ordered was fantastic. For starters, I was impressed with the skinny margarita. It's maybe the best I've had. Our server was attentive and friendly with great suggestions. We ordered the fish, the guac, salmon, and a steak dish-all were great. We'll be back!“

“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.“

“I used to live in the neighborhood around 40 years ago and took my son there so it never changed and the food and drinks were good. I had the tilapia and my son had the salmon and we shared the calamari. It was a very enjoyable evening and we sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive!!“

“Gibsons Italia was the perfect spot to visit on the Chicago River with beautiful skyscrapers to view. Thank you to our wonderful server BRANDON who did an outstanding job and to all the staff who greeted us with a happy anniversary nod! It was nicely unexpected. The desserts were delightful too! I liked the server's phrase “ it's bubbly season” as he served my Aperol Spritz!“
“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.“

“This place is slept on. Food is amazing, staff is professional. Hope the food and prices stay the same. My favorite spot in the south side by far. At the moment, they are better than Albawadi and fatooush. Mixed grill or one of the sandwiches, you can’t go “

“Located in Chicago's lively Lincoln Park, this spot is a top-tier destination for shrimp tacos – and it absolutely lives up to the hype! Hands down, the best I've ever had. The shrimp and breading reach perfection, making every bite a joy. Their $4 happy hour is a game-changer, featuring signature Baja fish and veggie tacos, along with $8 margaritas. Don't miss their quesabirria tacos – three short rib and cheese crispy tacos with a side of consommé beef broth for dipping. It's a flavor explosion that's hard to beat. Taco enthusiasts, this gem is a must-try!“

“For me. The best hotdog and fries in Chicago. Great atmosphere. Nice and clean. Overhearing some of the conversations between staff during food call outs are funny as hell. Everyone is known as honey, sweetie, or sweetheart. The mom and daughter duo are great.“

“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“

“Nice restaurant, the food was delicious but the customer service wasn't good. We ordered 6 individual small dishes to share, we didn't get our complete order at the same time. They divided in 3...we had to wait long time to see and eat all the food. Hopefully next time they have better service. They didn't offer water.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“After years of being a loyal customer, I am excited to share my thoughts on Frank's Shrimp House! This place has been my family's and my go to place for shrimp, ever since before they moved to this location from Addison. From the moment you step inside Frank's Shrimp House, you are greeted with a simple view: a giant menu board, a register, and a ton of fryers. For such a well-known neighborhood spot, it has such an unassuming appearance! The absolute star of this place is the shrimp. Tail removed, and available in regular breading or Chicago-style. Even though it says garlic, don't talk yourself out of this; I would describe this as more of a flavorful breading than a garlic breading, and is DEFINITELY the superior of the two choices of shrimp. Aside from their shrimp dishes, Frank's Shrimp House also offers a variety of other seafood options, such as scallops, fish, chicken and even FROGS LEGS! I find that the fish chips are a great accompaniment to the shrimp, and is some of the best fried fish I've ever had. Being a neighborhood establishment, Frank's Shrimp House offers great value for your money. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality and freshness of the seafood. In summary, Frank's Shrimp House is a local treasure that has won my heart with its exceptional shrimp and convenience. They've just added online ordering, so there is no real reason why you should NOT give this place a try!“

“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.“

“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.“

“From a sushi and sashimi standpoint everything was high-quality and extremely fresh. The sashimi platter was a very high value item for reasonable price. I would point out that I did not particularly enjoy the fried shumai as I thought they lacked flavor. Regardless everything else was excellent. And for a very reasonable price.“

“Han 202 is a little known secret in Bridgeport. Truly a gem worth visiting if you are looking for a culinary experience featuring dishes packed with flavor, creativity, and skill. We've been frequenting this family owned and operated restaurant since it opened and have always had a memorable experience. The wine listoffers a variety of price points to fit any budget, all high quality, and some beautiful bottles rarely seen on a list.The food and the owners are the star of the show. From the Foie gras terrine with marmalade, shanghai dumpling, soft shell crab with sweet & sour chilli sauce to the the rack of lamb with Bonito plum sauce and the duck breat with szechuansauce..the pictures can't truly capture what you'll enjoy..just go there! You won't regret it.Parking: Plenty of street parking available.“

“We ordered delivery and called ahead to see if there were vegan items available and the woman I spoke with was great! She was very helpful and even called me back when I ordered something that wasn't vegan and switched my order for me to a special item she made--taro bean fritter--that was delicious! Everything was delicious and I've had non vegan friends say the same. I highly recommend this place! The food is excellent and the service is the best!!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options and they are very accommodating to vegans also.“

“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'm not a huge sushi fan, but this place had the best sushi I've had so far. Even the complimentary ceviche was really good. The inside is a bit small, but the outdoor patio has good seating and a great atmosphere. We've been recommending this place to every sushi lover we know.“

“Brown bag seafood is a cute little spot. I like the location in Lincoln Park. My favorite is the crispy cod sandwich. But recently I tried the fried fish sandwich with Pollock. Nikki, T and Jeremy are awesome and we're all so helpful. Niki is super sweet and help me understand the difference between the crispy cod sandwich and the fried fish sandwich haha, as well as Jeremy who was super knowledgeable on the subject and quick to explain. Jeremy and T were back there, Cooking up a delicious frenzy. They also offer absolutely delicious lobster rolls. And for this cold winter weather lobster mac & cheese and clam chowder. This is a great quick spot when you're craving some delicious seafood. They offer their items in a few different styles, everybody wins . Stop in and get a crispy cod sandwich you will not be disappointed. While your there say hi to Niki, T, or Jeremy great spot, and these wonderful people help make this great spot go round.“
