Spent around $50 on a filet that arrived thin, tough, and completely bland--hardly felt like a quality cut. The salmon entree was just as overdone and dry. It's a shame because we were celebrating a special occasion, but the food just isn't worth the hefty bill. You're paying for the atmosphere, not the cooking. Wouldn't recommend.

Started with beverages and ordered an appetizer, the Burrata Crostini which was exceptional!! I had the Manhattan and my wife had the Old Fashioned and both were very nicely done.

I ordered the Compart Duroc Pork Chop which was prepared perfectly medium rare with a side of asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. Mmmm good. Creme brulee and one other dessert which were both very nicely prepared and very good! We will be back here again for dinner as well as beverages and apps.

Our server, Penny, was working, and to say she was amazing is a massive understatement! She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and truly elevated our entire experience. The food was phenomenal. You can immediately tell that most of their dishes are made from scratch with real care. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We will absolutely be back--5 out of 5 stars all around!

The portions were generous, but the food was a little bit too salty. The 80 people, and it was a little less than half full tonight when we were there. It was noisy, and it got worse for two birthday parties when the staff turn the music up to a level that from having a conversation until it was over. I have to admit that it was surprising to hear whistles at a Mexican restaurant in light of events. Unfortunately, we will probably not go back because the service was very very poor. We had to ask for multiple times before we got them, and it seemed like the staff just kept forgetting us. Prices are OK.

I can't decide on where to land on the number of stars for this Maynards location…read more The location is easy to get to, there is ample parking, the restaurant is clean, and the service is friendly, attentive, and prompt. So really, it kind of came down to the food. The food is unremarkable for the most part. Nothing really stood out as something one would write home about. It is really on par with Applebee's or other restaurant chains. The French Onion soup was a hot bowl of semi-salty, onion-infused beef broth with a piece of baguette topped with gruyere or Swiss cheese. It's fine and presented as one would expect. The Reuben was in the same boat as the soup. It was a Reuben, and nothing stood out. Bottom line for this place is, if you are looking for a place that is consistent in what is plated for you, and are looking for a quick meal, this is your place. I would eat here again if I could not think of another option in this neck of the woods.

She was solid but not elevated but that what I expected. We had a chicken sandwich and wings a the food was solid. The ambiance was a bit strange as the music kept changing but overall a solid experience. I would definitely come back. It appeared to be a clean restaurant with solid bar food and even had a small outdoor area overlooking a man made pond. If you are looking for some solid bar food with some basic drinks I think you would have a solid experience.

We were passing through and looking for a good place to stop for lunch. Based on the ratings and…read moremost reviews, we gave it a try. It was about 11:30 on a Tuesday and pretty quiet. We were greeted, seated and immediately waited on by a friendly server. First, the chips are definitely not made in house and are nothing special. The salsa had a little bite to it and tasted pretty good. It is a shame that the chips were not fresh and crisp. The unsweet iced tea was very strong. We suspect it might have been instant, but do not know that for sure. The Fiesta Burrito was flavorful, as the meat was well-seasoned. The refried beans and pico were also very flavorful. The chimichanga with ground beef was seasoned well and covered with melted white cheese. The lunch portion is small, but that was good for me. The pinto beans and rice lacked seasoning, so after a dose of salt they tasted better. The sour cream was a good compliment to the chimi, but the tomatoes and lettuce were quite acidic and without good flavor. Based on our food and drink, I consider it to be quite average. The service and time to receive meals after ordering was good, though.

I was excited to try something different in the North burbs, land of corporate restaurants…read more Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. I ordered through Door Dash. First, the good. The Dumpling Soup is excellent. Lots of plump Pelmeni (dumplings), veggies that weren't mushy, and a wonderful broth. But the Chicken Kiev was underwhelming. The promised river of herb garlic butter was missing, which left the meat a bit dry and bland. I ordered it with Egg Noodles and was expecting wide noodles like that shown in pictures of the noodles as a side dish. Instead, they were more like thin overcooked spaghetti. I was hoping that the missing butter from the chicken would be found in the bed of noodles, but it wasn't there either. I'll probably try it again, as I want to try some of their other dishes. Maybe it's better if eaten at the restaurant.

The honey cake was a big hit with the family. It was everything I was hoping for. Have layers and layers of flavor. I got a fried pastry filled with Chicken and vegetables to go while I was there.

First time at Buona Sera, great service here, water was filled comedically fast. Food pricing was…read moreok, expect to pay a modest 20-30 for pasta, 40-60 for red meat, 30-60 for seafood, and 60-90 for multi course surf and turf specials. All meat entrees come with both salad and pasta, making it a decent deal. Now on with the food itself, the pasta is amazing, the marinara sauce is some of the best I've had, the salmon is incredible, the lobster is ok, and the steak is some of the best I've had. I've had steak everywhere, from Florida to Alaska, and I have never had a steak like this, it was strangely tender, melt in your mouth, the fat was also a more meaty texture, probably due to the dry aging, overall one of the better steaks I've ever had. The atmosphere is quite casual for the quality of food, my group wore just T shirts. The actual building is nice, but quite old, could use a new ac, but the patio space is magical, with service just as quick. Before I conclude my review, I should note that there was some sign of mild mold in 2 of our waters, likely due to the ice machine, this is a common issue, and as far as I know, had no negative health effects. Overall the food was decently priced and quite good, not mind blowing, but delicious none the less. Small locally owned restaurant with fantastic service. Give it a try!
