Overall the drinks were unique and fair priced to the quality and to other establishments in the neighborhood. Since it was early in the evening, the bar was a little bit quiet. As we were finishing our drinks, the staff informed us of the basement lounge seating. When we headed down, we were pleasantly surprised by the moody speakeasy feel and could see ourselves coming back on another day to relax in that space. Thank you to Foxy's Hideaway for opening and offering another great cocktail option in the neighborhood!!

The entire place was beautifully design and played into the concept well. I ordered the Fox River which was spirit forward, smooth, and subtly sweet.

This was definitely a favorite spot of mine and I'd certainly come back!

I've been here a few times with the guys and each time we love it. We've had the back room, with a big screen TV, all to ourselves and we've also posted up on the balcony.

I have yet to have a cocktail here that didn't wonderfully wet my whistle. And the same high remarks go for the staff, who are always welcoming and accommodating. I dare you not to become a fan of TDS upon your first visit! Will I be back again? Absolutely!

The food itself is absolutely INCREDIBLE and as someone for who ambiance matters a lot, both indoors and outside on the patio make for a great dining experience. HOWEVER, what made us come back so soon was the service! Both days we had visits from the owners at the table, and the waitstaff is above and beyond. When my husband mentioned this spicy sauce on his crostata, the waiter without hesitation bragged about how it was house made and brought him a small sample to take home. So excited to make this a regular spot for us!

It was a nice night, so we sat outside. Their outside has some beach chairs in one area and some covered seating in another. We sat kinda in between off to the side and it was nice. Nothing too fancy, but also didn't feel like lawn chairs at a friend's either. Food was good, but couldn't bring myself to giving more than 4 stars. It was tasty, but could have been better. My fiend ordered the fennel and sausage wood fired pizza and thought it was good but didn't rave about it (see photo). He did like the flavor of the crust, which from past experiences I remember, If you like mushrooms, definitely try their wild mushroom pizza. They are made for one person, unless you want to share for something lighter. I had the Wood-fired Hanger Steak (see photo). Looking at it, it looked sad. The steak was flavorful but a little tough in parts. But if you compare my photo to what's on their website, you will see a noticeable difference. The description matches what I received, but come on people. Throw some ]thing colorful on the plate - would have preferred the website food, though I think it's the wrong photo based on description. LOL Our server was kind, friendly and attentive. Another gentleman popped in once and awhile to ensure everything was going well. Very friendly. We will be back, but not sure I'll order the steak again.

This is the first time that I've been to the Greggory I have been here a few times after as well…read more The first time that I was there, I was with my friend celebrating her birthday for brunch, and our waiter was kind of bro-ish and we didn't really enjoy him, but the food made up for that experience. I decided to come back a second time to see if that was the vibe for each of the waiters and it wasn't. They were very pleasant very knowledgeable and didn't say inappropriate things to us. The ambience was awesome if I could design my house to look like that, I would love it. It kind of reminds me of a cigar room. the food for brunch, and the food for dinner was exceptional. If I were to recommend one dish specifically, it would be the octopus I ordered that all three times and I dream about it because it was some of the best I've ever had. This is probably one of the better restaurants in the suburbs outside of the city so if you're willing to travel a little bit to the west suburbs, I highly recommend checking it out plus it is around a lot of things stores shops entertainment, so it wouldn't just be a one and done you can go to a movie and then have dinner just to make it worthwhile.

Came here last weekend with my fiancé for her birthday and we had an amazing time…read more Our waitress was so nice and gave us a great rundown of the menu as it was our first time eating here. We ended up getting bread and two apps to start off to share. Couldn't have asked for a better way to start off our meals. Everything was great and a ton of good to share between us. We got the chicken and a pasta for our meals and we couldn't finish both because we were so full. We were very happy the next day to finish the food at home. Overall this is a great place for a date night or a place to celebrate a loved one. We will be coming back and have already told our family members they need to check this place out. I suggest getting a reservation as the place is packed!

I had never been here and am not familiar with the area, and Maple & Hash seemed to be a great place where my friends and I could yap comfortably and enjoy a great meal! I didn't take pics because I was too busy yapping but definitely want to give this place 5 stars. I'll happily recommend it to anyone who's looking for a breakfast/brunch spot in the area!

I heard they have a special during the week too so definitely check them out. I tried a the strawberry shortcake/cheesecake which I did enjoy. The banana foster wasn't exactly what I expected a little artificial. The starburst and jolly rancher martinis were good. Overall a great place to stop by for drinks in downtown Elgin!

However, I feel this place has some things to work out. The service was a little slow and I waited over 20 minutes to get a rose', only to be told they don't have any. They gave me a wine glass with Prosecco. Which was fine, but I don't know why it took so long. I was offered a free caramel appletini to try, but was confused as to why there was caramel on the outside of the glass. My fingers were so slick from just taking the glass and it almost slipped from my hand. I had to wrap the glass in a napkin to hold it, then run to the restroom to wash my hands. I was here for a Wine Wednesday event and the appetizer buffet was pretty good and they kept the food replenished. The chicken tenders were generous and flavorful, with large portions of white meat. The flat bread was good as well as the tortilla chips with guacamole, queso, salsa and sour cream. The inside decor is bright and has comfortable seating.

When I got the bill, it was double the price of the $9 listed for happy hour. When I mentioned this, the bartender said it was because happy hour is only for a shot and there are two shots in that drink. I'm pretty sure when I've ordered the happy hour vodka at other places as a martini I was charged the happy hour price. At this rate, it would have been cheaper to order a much better vodka. Other than this, I can say that the bar is beautiful and the staff is friendly.

I had always seen this little place on my way home from the gym and I decided to stop in and I tried a few of their freezer take home meals. I was skeptical, but as I tried the first meal I couldn't believe how great it tasted, it tasted like a cheat meal if I'm being honest!!! (it was the BBQ Beef Mac and Cheese) and since I'm counting calories right now, how low of calories were in it After enjoying that and a few other frozen meals I decided to order some of the fresh meals from their meal plan that you pick up either on Sunday or Monday. The cool thing with them is it's not a subscription, I can buy however many meals I want, if I want to save some money, I can but 10 meals which makes each meal only $7.70 each. If I had a garage fridge you better bet I would take advantage of the 21+ meals for $6.85 a meal! I'm super excited I found this place and how affordable it is compared to factor and other similar services, not to mention how yummy the food has been so far! The pizzas they have there are AMAZING! If they have the Taco pizza make sure to grab one, or the buffalo chicken one. You can eat the whole thing and it fits within my macros! Also, hot tip, The taco pizza is especially amazing dipped in a bit of plain green yogurt and ortega taco sauce! It is honestly one of my current favorite meals, it also feels like a cheat meal, except it isn't! I had a new smoothie today and it was amazing, ask for a starberries and cream smoothie! What a TREAT!!!! I might just have to go back tomorrow and get another one when I pick up my meals for the week! The owner is very very nice and all of the people who work there are great. They always recognize me when I come in now, which is such a nice touch! This place is a no brainer if you are a busy person like me who wants to eat healthy! The only thing I haven't tried yet is a meal from their menu for dine in, but I plan to do that soon with some friends with Orange Theory after class :)

I am a girl that likes to eat healthy so I was excited to see this store. My daughter had taken me…read moreto a similar build a bowl type place in Florida which was amazing and I had hoped to find the same experience here. Not so much. I tried the large bowl with brown rice, broccoli, carrots and zucchini, with teriyaki sauce. There was no flavor and the chicken was dry like dust. Diced chicken might be dry, but usually there is flavor or something to give a dish taste and texture. I tried half with the teriyaki sauce and it was flavorless and still dry. The sauce had no flavor even though it had at least 13 grams of sugar according to the nutrition guide. Also there was no zucchini and the portion of veggies seemed pretty small. I wound up adding a little oil to a pan, more veggies and other spices (and did not use the sauce) so that I could eat the rest. Since the name is " clean" Eatz I looked at the nutrition guide to see that there are 300-400 ounces of sodium per 4 ounce portion compared to natural chicken that has this much per 16 ounces of chicken. There should be no sugar in natural chicken but there is 2 g in the 4 ounce portion. Since I had the large, I had more than that but since there was no flavor on the chicken that makes me wonder how this chicken is prepared and its source. Maybe some of the other bowl combinations are better, but I was very disappointed with my experience. I had already purchased some of the frozen meals so I will try those at some point. Also my meal was about $18 with tax which was not worth what I had.
