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.

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 grabbed drinks with friends here on a Thursday night and we had our pick of the seats. Luckily my friend, who has been here before, grabbed us seats by the center fire place and we were able to enjoy the atmosphere; chill and, despite the aesthetic, not western-in-your-face. In fact, we were seated as some super comfy leather couches. Sure, it has some special experiences (the bathrooms are slightly confusing the first time) but I thought everything was very well done. The menu has a little bit of everything, from cocktails to beers, small plates to entrees. Again, we only had drinks but my "Campfire" cocktail was tasty (but a bit sweet). I was slightly dismayed that they were all out of both sour beers as well... oh well. For what we were looking for, a chill spot to catch up and imbibe, this place hit the mark perfectly. If you've never been then it's worth checking out.

The reason I'm giving my review a two is when we walked in we were greeted. My husband and I walked in and said hello with a smile, the waitress replied they had no alcohol at the time. We were like, okay no problem. There was no hello, there was no smile at all. The whole time we were there we rec'd the coldest attitude we have ever experienced. Not one smile and I noticed that she didn't smile at the other customers. Which was a a family of three and a guy besides my husband and I. Next time we will order tacos to go but we will not ever eat there again. Atmosphere is also a key to a nice meal at any restaurant.

The kids love it and I am always happy to direct new families to try Georgio's after their math sessions. We couldn't have a successful Pi Day Party without Georgio's!!

When checking in at the host stand, the hostess did not seem knowledgeable about where we could be seated for the happy hour. Thankfully within the lounge, you can sit at the bar or the adjacent tables. They have a specialty bar menu where certain wines, cocktails, shareables, and sandwiches are at a discount rate. Even discounted, the items were far too expensive for portions and quality. Shareables ranged from $6-10 off, sandwiches $2-6 off, and cocktails $4 off. For drinks, I got the Pomegranate Martini which was well balanced and not too acidic. My husband got the happy hour Cab and enjoyed it. For food, I got the Zucchini Fries which were tasty and crispy. My husband got the steak sandwich which came with fries. Our friends got the chicken sandwich and cheeseburger which they thought were okay. Their blueberry mojito had A LOT of ice in it so I assume they barely got much to drink. Overall, this experience was okay. The cliental is definitely older but the inside has a contemporary aesthetic. Our server was extremely nice and upbeat which was really enjoyable. Sadly, the food and drinks just weren't good enough for me to want to revisit.

Always good food, and the service was excellent!!! Very accommodating. Just this past week we tried the Barrlet location, early dinner. What a culture shock, the restaurant had tables filled with lunch dishes, floor was dirty, we waited for over 5 minutes for someone to seat us, and another 15 til we saw a server! Being it was happy hour, I ordered a Mai Tai, didn't taste and rum or any alcohol, tasted like punch, not even any garnish, like a half orange slice, pineapple or cherry -- NOTHING! The server asked "how was that cocktail, I told him terrible! He said it was all pre-made in a jug, so getting another wouldn't matter, ha! He never offered anything else. Ordered spinach artichoke dip, it was served with multicolored tortilla chips ‍ My husband ordered a 10" stuffed sausage pizza called "The Chicago Sausage Deep Dish" - crust was over cooked and the tomato topping was very acidic! Never to be mistaken for Gino's East or Lou Malnati's .. Forget my meal, not worth the effort of explaining. Note to self : because it's named the same - means nothing! Schaumburg location still reigns supreme!

What works well: -Addition of cocktails instead of just beer. -80's lounge with great music and more samples. -Maine lobster rolls. Wow! Delicious and filling. -16" of steak on a stick! Heck yes! -The Messengers band was fantastic and fun to sing along with. -Lucha Libre wrestling was a fun add in 2019. -Plenty of parking or access for drop off for Shared rides. -Plenty of restrooms at the site. What can be improved: -Adding some round high boys in the food area would be helpful. They had them near the band in 2018 but absent this year. It's hard to balance food and drink while walking around. This would really be a helpful add. -I don't recall seeing any maps of the layout at the door. Unless I just missed them, this would be helpful too. -More live music would be nice. Overall a fun event worth what you pay for VIP or G.A.

The deal is half off apps, but if you enjoy an adult beverage, the house-brewed drafts are also half off. M-Th 3-6pm, dine-in only. At least that's what it is right now. I feel like it changes, so maybe call beforehand to confirm. I only got pics of the nachos this time, which really doesn't do it full justice because they're bigger than they look in the photo. Food is always good and consistent, there's nothing really to complain about regarding service or prices, and parking has always been really easy, though that could be because we typically go on Tuesdays. I imagine weekends could be a little bit busier, but the place is pretty big, so even if you have to wait, I don't think that you'd be waiting that long. The vibe is also casual and low-key.

I had been here with my daughter about 12 years ago and remembered enjoying it then. We all had burgers and craft beer. My friends went with the Mad Max (burger of the month) and I went with a peppercorn and blue cheese burger. It was thumbs up for all of us on the burgers as well as the beer, which was unique and delicious. I took no pictures that day and just enjoyed the outing with friends, but I was especially impressed with the taste of my burger. I abstained from adding any of my usual condiments, and decided to try it as is, with just their sauce. Best decision ever! The sauce was amazing and the burger was cooked a perfect medium. Like many restaurants, Luck Monk offers their regular menu, plus flyers on their specials, including beers and cocktails. Four days later, I went right back there again on my own, to formally review it with photos. I had to go with that same peppercorn burger, because it was just so good, and to make sure the first time was a fluke. It wasn't. I tried out their chili as well, which was also good. This chef knows what he is doing. This stand alone restaurant is easy to get to, and has ample parking. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and looks high end, though I found the pricing to be reasonable. It would be a great spot to take clients for a business lunch. It's elegant looking , but unpretentious. The hostess and servers are wonderful. I highly recommend the Lucky Monk!
