This place is amazing! You walk in to a trendy fun and welcoming bar. The bar tenders greeted us with friendly smiling faces. We found a place to sit in the back & we were given menus. Neither of us had ever been there before so we asked for recommendations. We went with something fruity, I think it was called paradise something, it had pineapple and coconut in it. But we had that to start. It was delicious. Then she came back and I asked for a recommendation on the dessert portion of the menu and she said the cupcake martini was a huge hit and so my friend & I did went with that -- just a note the cupcake martini has a lot more alcohol in it than the first one, whoa... -- but it was still really good! My friend and I had a blast while drinking our martinis and enjoying the atmosphere in the lounge. The way they set it up is really nice. I went home and immediately told my boyfriend about it. I'm really looking forward to going back and trying out different drinks! I haven't heard people talk about this place. It's like a hidden gem in Homewood!

I have been to this establishment twice. The first time for a Simbryt concert on 5/14/26 and the…read moresecond time on 5/20/26 to try out their Karaoke. The set up is nice. When you first walk in, there is the bar with comfy seating at the bar and lounge area. The concert was downstairs so staff guides you where to go when coming in. Concert was fantastic and pricing was excellent for all what we got that night. The mood setting is nice downstairs for a concert. I had a lemondrop from the bar which was really good. Karaoke was on a school night. A DJ controls the Karaoke selections using Karafun. There were about 8 of us there. The DJ was playing good music in between if you wanted to take the mic and sing. Our group individually sang a few songs. It would be nice to have more of an enthusiastic audience, that is what we are used to at other venues. All in all, this is a great spot. Staff is super friendly, especially the female bar attendant on the main floor. I wished they served food here but you can order food for delivery to eat inside. Thanks Copper Still!

Honestly, if you're just driving by, you might not even notice this hidden gem from the street. The atmosphere on the patio made it feel like a neighborhood spot that's worth discovering.

This was my first there.

I also ordered the pot roast 10/10 which I didn't eat much of as I was full but everything tasted perfect seasoned and tender vegetables, roast. Sauce was perfect with the mash potatoes too. Service was perfect. She answered all our questions, was patient and attentive. Jaaniyah 10/10. Be aware, this last part is the business/credit card companies and not the server. A 3% surcharge for credit cards is already added to receipt, as well as an 18% service charge. It's not always clear who all receives the service charge as it is not listed as gratuity but it cannot be removed. So do your math's if you're looking to tip 20%

The food at Stoney Point Grill in Homewood was honestly disappointing, and the menu was not what I…read moreexpected at all. For the pricing, I expected much better flavor, quality, and overall creativity. The shareables were overpriced, the drinks were mid-level at best, and nothing really stood out enough to justify the cost. The space itself is nice and works well as a social spot or sports bar atmosphere where you can sit, talk, watch games, and enjoy company. That part of the experience was probably the highlight. However, the service was also lacking because the restaurant seemed noticeably short-staffed. It took a long time to receive attention and proper service throughout the visit, which added to the frustration. Overall, the location and atmosphere have potential, but the menu, food quality, drink execution, pricing, and staffing experience need major improvement to match the type of establishment they appear to be aiming for.

A WONDERFUL EVENING ***************…read moreGoing back to the old neighborhood "Martini Bar" in Celebration of a Friend's Birthday, was a night to remember! After twenty-five years of moving on in community status the experience was priceless! In the interest of security and being searched before entering this wonderful establishment the Director of Security affectionately known as "BOSS," was non-intrusive and more professional and secret than the U. S. Secret Service! The Five Star Experience was just that! The Food and reasonably priced and potent and Eye-Opening Cocktails were worth the wait at the crowed bar! The music was just the right amount of loud and had a variety of genres. I am glad that my wife insisted that I attend this function with her! It was good to see friends from the neighborhood again! ~ LCIII Lamar and Vanessa Chapman Hinsdale, Illinois

The ambiance, the service, the cocktails and the food! Every attention to detail was valued and appreciated. The 17th floor view of beautiful Downtown....(wait for it)...Gary, was inspiring. Seriously, you can see the Sears Tower on a clear day and it looked like Oz! This restaurant is one to visit! One to value! One to appreciate! The smoked Old Fashioned was the first clue that this was going to be a good experience. Wood smoked in a decanter and served over a single cube with Rosemary sprig. Perfection! Delicious! I wish I could had the perfect t cigar with it. Appetizers of Ousters Rockefeller were superb. Great sized. Generous toppings. The Waygu meatballs, sauce and perfectly toasted bread almost had me stepping away from my table to "slap the cook" but I composed myself as the perfect gentleman that I am and silently clapped for him. My ribeye was cooked to perfection. Mom had the lamb chops and she said aloud that she was in heaven. I did not want to hear that kind of talk, so I ordered her a prosecco. Ha. She relaxed. We had a few sides, the creamed spinach and the Mac n Cheese and each one did not disappoint. There was no room for dessert, but side note...(this place is located at the Wind Creek Casino just next to a Portillo's and IYKYK- that Chocolate Cake is fire! So make a detour and got ma home. I recommend for dates, special occasions or just a damn good meal in the Southland without the hassle of driving downtown! 5 Star experience. Make your reservation now!

Parking is free and the ambiance of the restaurant is top tier. It was decorated beautifully, and they did not miss any details when decorating this space. The service was great. Our waiter was great, and he gave great suggestions for us. He checked in with us constantly and made sure that we were all very comfortable and accommodated. The food was so good here. They had a quality comparable to downtown Chicago steakhouses. I got the Delmonico steak, and it was amazing. It was seasoned to perfection. I like how the blue cheese crust and the bearnaise sauce was complimentary. We also had the bread service, creamed spinach, macaroni and cheese, parmesan potatoes, beef fat fries, and crab cakes. Everything was exceptional! For dessert, I had the carrot cake cheesecake, and I was impressed at how delicious it was. Overall, this experience was a 10/10, and I highly recommend going here for any occasion.

My Hubby ordered the Burger and the Sweet Potato Fries based on Maggie's suggestion. I ordered the Shrimp Gumbo, which was delicious, the Chef did their thing!!! I also had the Shrimp Avocado Salad with Bacon and a House Ranch Pesto Dressing!!!! Let's get into this salad, the explosion of flavor from the dressing and the seasoned shrimp is noteworthy, my only suggestion is I think a Romain lettuce will allow those flavors to truly marinate on the palate better than the bitter planty taste of the leafy mixed greens!!! Maggie gave me a to go cup with my Pesto Ranch Dressing, she gets a gold star and we will certainly be back!!!!!! Don't miss out on Willey's Grill located on Kedsie in Homewood. The restaurant is located on the property of Coyote Run Golf Course , but open to the public, it feels like a log cabin, has a large bar area and ample seating. The food portion was filling and moderately priced.

Never heard of this place and I am beyond past any bar, lounge or club type situation but again we were invited for a birthday party and had no idea what to expect.

Folks dressed normal and acted like they had sense! Plenty of parking and no issues

Update: I've been in contact with the owner and manager of this establishment. What I appreciate…read morethe most is that the issue was acknowledged, and apologies were given immediately after notifying management, which shows they care about delivering great service. That means the world to me! I do look forward to my next visit. I went here Saturday with my girls, and the vibe was on point, but the service from one of the bartenders left a bad taste. I want to extend some grace because it was extremely crowded and only a few bartenders were working, so one would expect a longer wait. However, when trying to order a 2nd round of drinks after tipping 20% our requests were repeatedly dismissed while others that came behind us were being served. When we finally did get served, I didn't realize my friend had paid for my drink and I put $15 on the bar for it. Once my girl told me she had already paid for my drink, I asked the bartender for my money back. She told me I only put $10 and despite my witnesses correcting her, she took it upon herself to STEAL $5 from me. In the future, I will not request service from this particular bartender. Other than that, it was a great time, and I look forward to my next visit!

The oysters with crab meat could have been better because I tasted more cheese than anything else and a few shells were in the stuffing. The jerk tacos were good and the drinks could have had a tad bit more of a kick. We had long islands. The bathroom definitely needed some TLC, as the lock was broken, there wasn't any paper towels and the sink was dirty. The waitress seemed a lil over worked and there were a few things on the menu that were not available. All of the food was served in take containers so that took away from the experience and the music DEFINITELY took away from the atmosphere, very raunchy and ghetto. If you're doing a take out order, I would give a 8/10. I give them 6/10 for restaurant experience.

A lot of great cocktails to choose among. There's also some things to eat but it's usually just things that are greasy. Basically this bar has a more mature crowd. It's great if not wanting to run into those who are about to pop a cap in the ass of someone. There's also limited hours so it's harder to get in whenever. A place that really limits when to go. This makes it harder to communicate with employees about events or other things. It's about $10 for a basic cocktail. The food is pretty basic, just things from the fryer to be honest. It's about $7 for an appetizer. They have the basics like onion rings. For sure there's a lot of events. It's located on 183rd Street at Kedzie. They're closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
