Ellie, Stephanie, and Jose were all on point during our team lunch. Quick to refill waters, cleared plates efficiently, and handled the check split without any fuss. That level of attentive service is hard to find. Made the whole thing run smoothly.

Been coming here for years. The manti is still the standout, a dish you don&#39;t see everywhere. Good, hearty portions. The kazandibi is a solid finish.

Perfect for a quick lunch before the Wintrust Arena. Chicken tacos were hot and fresh, came out fast. My sister liked her chicken Philly. Super convenient spot.

Shanice was super nice and had great energy. The mimosas were tasty, and she made the whole vibe really chill. Just what I needed on a random Tuesday.

Armando was a great server, super attentive. The stuffed mushrooms were fantastic, best I&#39;ve had. Veal parm was huge, could barely finish it. Solid Italian spot.

Came with friends who have different diets. The veggie options here are actually interesting and taste great. My wine paired nicely with the roasted cauliflower dish. Good for a group.

The beef brisket noodle soup here really hits the spot. The noodles are handmade, nice and chewy. Brisket was super tender, just fell apart. Broth had a good savory depth, not too salty. The $10 teatime combo with a drink is a solid deal.

The country fried chicken with biscuits and gravy was the star. Perfectly crispy and that gravy was rich. The chilaquiles had a steak upcharge, but it was worth it.

Everything was so good! The food and drinks were spot on. Our waitress was the sweetest &mdash; I mentioned I was pregnant and she helped me find some cooked sushi options that weren&rsquo;t even on the menu. Made our girls&rsquo; night out feel really thoughtful. We&rsquo;re already planning to go back!

Wasn&rsquo;t expecting much, but their vegan sandwiches are actually really good. Solid choice for plant-based eats around here. Pleasantly surprised.

Grabbed a quick lunch here. The place is clean and looks modern, perfect for a fast bite downtown. Service was quick, got my order in no time. Solid spot for a workday lunch.

Been coming here for years for solid Cantonese food. The shrimp dumplings are still my go-to - the wrapper is thin and the filling is fresh. Bar gets lively in the evenings, but it&#39;s a bit loud for my taste.

A solid neighborhood spot. The decor&#39;s vibrant, feels authentic. Had the lamb tagine, rich and tender. Their house red was a surprisingly good match, really brought out the spices. Portions are decent.

Been coming here for years. The chicken stew is always the star for me. That rich, deep flavor is exactly why I keep coming back. The arroz and alcapurria are good, but it&#39;s the stew that&#39;s the main event.

The stuffed mushrooms and caprese salad were pretty good. We did have to wait over an hour for our main courses, which was a bit long. The food itself was decent though.

The BBQ pork is solid for the Midwest. Portion was decent for the price. Got a two-meat platter and it filled me up. The vibe is old-school, been around forever.

Solid combo fried rice. Plenty of shrimp, chicken, and beef. Good for sharing.

The Pad Thai was a bit off - too much soy sauce and red cabbage? Their wine list saved the meal though.

The fish was fresh and the staff were really nice. It&#39;s on the pricier side, but the comfortable booths made it feel worth it.

Came for a business lunch. Sat at the sushi bar, which is a good setup to watch the chefs. Ordered the Jalapeno and Dragon Fire rolls. Both were fresh and had solid flavor. Service was efficient. A bit pricey for lunch, but the location works.

The jumbo slice was huge, like bigger than my head huge. $7 for that is a steal. Perfect for a quick lunch when you&#39;re just walking by.

Been coming here for years, first with the kids and now the grandkids. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for the family.

The BYOB policy here is a nice touch. Makes for a relaxed, casual meal in a clean, cozy spot.

Great for a group dinner where everyone wants something different. I had the sushi, which was fresh and hit the spot, while my friend went for the General Tso&#39;s. Everything came out fast, which was nice.
