We had a great meal and overall experience at Maya! We say outside on the beautiful patio - at the end of October! Service was superb, and everything we ordered was delicious. The plantains with ropa vieja appetizer and queso fundido were perfect starters. Entree highlights included the center cut filet (perfectly cooked) and the chicken enchiladas in mole. So good!

Pablo has been our server many times before and as always did a wonderful job. It was a beautiful evening on the patio which the food and drink complemented nicely. We enjoyed the ahi tuna appetizer, garden salad, and two tasty, well prepared pasta dishes. The cacio e pepe was perfection. It was another excellent dining experience at La Notte.

Finally was able to try Girl & The Goat. A truly amazing experience with exceptional cuising, service and ambiance. Third time visiting Chicago did the trick getting into this hot spot. I can see why the Chef won all those cooking competitions.

We were running late but they were able to accomodate us. Very nice servers. The food was great and a very unique offering of flavors, with many options for protein. Each plate was a work of art. We decided to share the small plates and for 4 of us it worked with some room for incredible deserts. They had a special on a bottle of wine and we truly enjoyes our experience.

Fantastic experience at Ada Street. Everything we ordered was excellent, from the steak tartare and roasted vegetables to the New York strip and pasta. The cocktails were perfect, and the atmosphere made the whole evening even better. Our server, Taylor, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We’ll absolutely be back!

Lula Cafe NEVER disappoints. I’ve been wanting to try their farm dinner for a while and when it aligned with my birthday AND had wagyu on the menu, I knew it was the perfect opportunity. Seating for our reservation was delayed, but the staff was very apologetic and went above and beyond to make up for it. The hospitality at Lula is impeccable. They checked in with us multiple times and even sent a free appetizer and desserts. They made me feel so special on my birthday and I just genuinely had the greatest time. I’m so impressed with their ever changing menu and delivery on unique farm dinners. Thank you Lula Cafe and the whole team for being the absolute BEST in the game!
