1. Veerasway
844 W. Randolph St. - Chicago
By MariJ from LincolnPark, May 8, 2008
PLEASE disregard the negative reviews above. I dined at Veeasway last night with my girlfriend that is a seasoned Indian food lover. It was my first time to ever have Indian food and I thought it was to die for (and she agreed)! The wine selection paired perfectly with all of the food and the spe More...

By CapriciousChic from river north, May 7, 2008
this place is AMAZING! my girls and i always come to the downstairs lounge and have the best time. most of the time getting our checks picked up for us, so that doesnt hurt ;) but even if that doesnt happen we still have a blast. the ambiance is super sexy and the music is great. come on a friday or More...
3. Takashi Restaurant
1952 N. Damen Ave. - Chicago
By N Hasan from Ukranian Village, May 9, 2008
Overall, my husband and I enjoyed this restuarant. The dining rooms (one upstairs and one downstairs) are very intimate. Therefore, I would only suggest this place for a party of 4 people, max. We had two good appetizers and two mediocre appetizers. The seared tuna was espcially tasty. The serv More...
4. Chalkboard
4343 N. Lincoln Ave. - Chicago
By JM from Rogers Park, May 8, 2008
I have no idea what happened to some of the previous reviewers, but I couldn't disagree strongly enough. Chalkboard is simply one of our favorite dining destinations in the city. Warm and intimate, with a menu that is to die for. Go, go, go. You will love it. More...
5. A Mano
335 N. Dearborn St. - Chicago
By Roni from River North, May 8, 2008
Went to this place with two family members last night with high hopes. A new italian restaurant is always something exciting. From the time we walked in, we were disappointed. The tables are very close to each other. The chairs are very uncomfortable. The antipasti is good but how hard can that More...
6. Flamingo's Seafood
1590 S. Busse Rd. - Mt. Prospect
By superman from des plaines, May 9, 2008
I have never tasted food so rich and so good in my life! I loved the Mahi Mahi ceviche for starters but that Grouper fish with shrimp took my breath away! It was so delicious, tasty and fufilling. I will give grace to the ambiance since the food was so good, but the place needs more spice to complet More...
7. Bonsoiree Cafe & Delicacies
2728 W. Armitage Ave. - Chicago
By katieo from Logan Square, May 8, 2008
We had a reservation for 9pm and they sat us almost 70 minutes later. Food was fair, but not worth the price. More...
8. Rose Angelis
1314 W. Wrightwood Ave. - Chicago
By Molly from Lakeview, May 8, 2008
Thi s is my first review but I felt compelled to write because Rose Angelis is one of the very best restaurants in all of Chicago. I've been going there for more than 7 years and have a fab experience every time. For a memorable meal, come hungry and start with the pizza special and try to save room More...
9. Sushi X
543 W. Diversey Pkwy. - Chicago
By JamieN731 from Bucktown, May 7, 2008
Great deal for the price, there was 8 of us and it was under $20 a person, including tip. My new favorite roll comes from Sushi X, the Honey one. More...
10. Bin Wine Cafe
1559 N. Milwaukee Ave. - Chicago
By JamieN731 from Bucktown, May 9, 2008
The food was great here, I had the Pulled Pork sandwich and I tried the White pizza, both were excellent. My friend got the ravioli, which looked great and she said was good, but it came with a tiny amount of past, which was disappointing considering the price. The service on the other hand was sub More...
11. Shikago
190 S. La Salle St. - Chicago
By Reality Check from Ravenswood, May 8, 2008
This is the second time I've gone for lunch. Once with a larger group, and another time with just two. The service was very slow and unattentive both times. Was there for 30 minutes before the server came by to take our order. Lunch ended up over 1.5 hours both times. There were several couples w More...
12. Jack Rabbit
4603 N. Lincoln Ave. - Chicago
By Marilyn from bowmansville, May 8, 2008
Went to Jack Rabbit on a Friday night; luckily had a reservation as all the tables were full. We shared the chile dusted calamari, which was very tasty but not very spicy. I had the shrimp dish--shrimp were very flavorful, the polenta good and crispy, and the coleslaw very good. My husband's dinn More...
13. Marrakech Cuisine
1413 N. Ashland Ave. - Chicago
By jmounce2000 from Lincoln Park, May 7, 2008
Food is amazing! All homemade, no artificial ingredients, no fast boiling. We had lamb, chicken pastille, and soup. All of the dishes were perfect. We've never had food that was so rich in flavor and well-prepared. The lamb was the best we've ever experienced in Chicago. It is baked and grilled to p More...
14. Woodlands Grill & Gathering Place
641 E. Boughton Road - Bolingbrook
By NaperFoodie from Naperville, May 9, 2008
We looked at the menu online and though it would be a nice place to stop by for lunch. All went well when we arrived, right when they opened. The manager was very warm, the server friendly; we were seated at a nice table. We ordered appetizers, the soup of the day and a salad, and both were very More...
15. Baladoche
2905 N. Clark St. - Chicago
By Shouse from Lakeview, March 21, 2008
My husband and I stopped there on a whim after dinner and I am absolutely sold! While the waffle with the cream and nutello chocolate was 9 dollars, I would do it again! It was amazing! The best dessert I have had yet, can not wait to get it again. The service was great, we were asked if we had More...
16. Kitsch'n River North
600 W. Chicago Ave. - Chicago
By Ana from south loop, May 7, 2008
Every day Kitsch'n is packed for lunch. Why? Because it's the only lunch spot in the area, and the many professionals working nearby have no where else to go. It's over-priced, the food is unimaginative and just bad, and the wait staff is rude. I ate there today (much to my dismay - I didn't want to More...
17. Santullo's Eatery
1943 W. North Ave. - Chicago
By JamieN731 from Bucktown, May 7, 2008
Great place to go to for a quick slice of pizza, they have daily specials as well. Haven't tried their sandwiches, but the pizza is so good, I haven't been able to tear myself away! More...
18. Fulton's on the River
315 N. LaSalle St. - Chicago
By Shaw from gold coast, April 10, 2008
Creamed spinach (10.95) was overly salty, twice stuffed potato (12.95) was hard as a rock. The server said 'the chef's working on getting it right, we've had other complaints' well, why did we get charged for inedible sides? The meat was good, but for the money, you'll get food that's 99.9% better More...
19. Usagi Ya
1178 N. Milwaukee Ave. - Chicago
By JamieN731 from Bucktown, May 9, 2008
This is probably the best sushi I have ever experienced. The place was virtually empty, but the staff was friendly and on top of their game. It was a while ago, so I don't' remember what we got, but everything was wonderful. More...
20. Zak's Place
112 S. Washington St. - Hinsdale
By gipper007 from western suburbs, May 8, 2008
the argyle pinot noir was very good (but then it's hard to screw up a bottle of wine).. the appetizer pate was good. then things went downhill with the entrees. the gnocchi were horrrible - some were still frozen, it seemed ! the tuna was not sushi grade - a lot of fascia (membrane). i would n More...
21. Lucia Ristorante
1825 W. North Ave. - Chicago
By anielynn from anielynn, May 8, 2008
The surroundings were kind of strange, but once we got settled in, the service was good and the food wasnt bad. Not the best Italian in Bucktown or Chicago though. More...
22. Copperblue
580 E. Illinois St. - Chicago
By lovestodine from south loop, May 8, 2008
I took my girlfriend to Copperblue for a special dinner and it was spectacular. We had the seven course meal, which was excellent and very filling. Each course is small, allowing you to sample all sorts of delightful flavors; by the end we were stuffed. The food was exceptional and the wine list More...
23. Purgatory Pizza
3415 N. Clark St. - Chicago
By lotus from west loop, May 8, 2008
The pizza is to die for, with toppings unlimited. The service is impecible, these people have experience. You won't be disappointed check them out!!!!!! More...
24. Bourgeois Pig
738 W. Fullerton Pkwy. - Chicago
By BLB from Lincoln Park, May 8, 2008
I work close to this place and usually like to treat myself to a lunch once a week, even though it is ridiculously overpriced. The last two times I've gone here I've waited over 20 minutes for the hummus plate- no cooking needed, so why so long? I was the only one in line, and the cashier was on More...
25. Matsuya
3469 N. Clark St. - Chicago
By rcky from Lakeview , March 1, 2008
The maki here was good, but for some reason I decided to order the Red Snapper. I was not expecting it to be served to be in its entirety (head, bones, and all). The plate stunk like I was walking by dead fish on lake Michigan as well...I honestly could barely stand it, and it had no taste (whatev More...
