All of the food was excellent and extremely delicious, cooked to perfection. My recommended dishes: Bacon wrapped dates: Your typical sweet baked dates wrapped in bacon but with a unique creamy tomato sauce that takes it to the next level! Free tuna salad on bread: Dont actually know what this is but it was on the house and I enjoyed this very much. It was light, flavorful, and so refreshing. Gambas A La Pancha: Extremely soft and juicy shrimp with much roasted garlic in lemon garlic Platanos con Helado: Ugh so good! Sauteed banana thats fragrant and soft, drizzled in caramel served with a side of vanilla ice cream. In love with this dessert, would come back for it. Overall had a wonderful experience and 10/10 would come again and recommend!

They were out of Sangria so I ordered the limoncello spritz instead. It was really good! I informed the server I was GF/celiac. I ordered a few tapas - patatas bravas, brussel sprouts and goat cheese with GF bread. A few tapas came out first and I started to eat the potatoes. Another server came over and said he brought the wrong potatoes. The one I was eating was not GF. He had the manager come over and talk to us. She assured us that everything else would come out perfect and apologized for the mishap. Luckily I only had 1 potato but still I'm not allowed to have any gluten. Then we had ordered paella to share. It was so good! Very flavorful with the rice cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed it. The server and manager came back many times to check on us and when we were finished they indicated the bill was comped. It was very sweet of them to do it. Even with the mixup we would come back. The food and service were excellent.

I can't say enough about Pour Destino! We hosted my 50th birthday party there, and it was…read moreabsolutely perfect. The space is a trendy lounge with such an intimate, stylish atmosphere -- exactly the vibe we were looking for. Everything came together beautifully, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting the venue. Collin, the owner, helped us create a cocktail and wine list that paired perfectly with his tapas menu. The cocktails were beautifully crafted, the wine selections were elevated, and the liquor was top-notch. You can truly tell there's thought and care put into every detail. The staff the night of the event went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and timed perfectly. They were polite and friendly, kept the drinks flowing, and made sure every guest had what they needed. The entire evening felt seamless and effortless. If you're looking for a chic, welcoming space for a milestone celebration or private event, this is the place. Highly recommend!

First and foremost - everyone I interacted with was SUPER KIND, and I really liked some aspects of…read morethe experience. But for a premium price, I expect premium product, and this place is rough around the edges in ways that feel easy to fix. I'm pointing them out in hopes they'll be corrected. First the positive - the food was pretty good. Not great for the price, but pretty good. Drip coffee was better than most diners/cafes in the area. The ambience was pleasant. Here's the issues. 1. The furniture needs a refresh and I don't think the place has even been open that long. The side tables by the window are losing their finish - a fragment of wood got caught under my finger nail as I was sitting down and just lightly grazed the table with my hand. I also brushed away a few additional flakes coming up. The chiffon curtains are charming until you look closer and see they're speckled with food from past diners. A moss ball decoration in the bathroom is missing half its moss. It's little stuff, obviously, but when I spot things like this at a place otherwise charging a premium partially for cute aesthetics, I always get concerned that the lack of attention detail might also be getting reflected in the food. 2. Value for money and food quality are also an issue. $20 for one slice of sourdough cut in half, a rather overdone French omelette with sour cream on top (not mentioned on the menu and a weird choice) a bowl of fruit I wasn't interested in rather than a choice of free side, and sausages I paid extra for, is not good value to me. The bread was good! The omelette was mediocre. The sausage was very solid, had a slight funk to it that I liked and suggested to me it was made in house - but 7 dollars for two sausage patties is absolutely wild. I would suggest Milkstop rethink the combos on its menu to include more and be priced a touch more transparently. 3. Finally, service. Everyone was VERY KIND, again, want to stress that, but service was slow and rather inattentive for most of the meal. The place was only half full, but water and an initial drink order were slow, and I waited for a while for the check while the staff chatted amongst themselves in the corner of the room. Not trying to be a dick, the life of a service worker is tough, but the place was mostly empty and I noticed they already charge a 3% service gratuity on your orders, so I'd expect a little better. Basically this place has a very charming surface with some wonkiness around the edges. I will definitely come back again but guys, come on - ditch the gross chiffon curtains, for both our sakes.

We went to Wooden Paddle for the first time with a group (including a toddler), and it ended up…read morebeing the perfect setting. It's a shareable, tapas-style dining experience, which makes it ideal for groups. We ordered the Fried Mozz Brick, which was good but didn't quite wow our group. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the Caesar salad, always a go-to for me and this one met my expectations. For pizzas, we tried the Pepper Only, the Sausage Fest, and The Original Mr. Beef, and that one ended up being my favorite. Definitely the star of the night. The drink menu is also great. Lots of options depending on what you're in the mood for. And as a mom, I have to mention the bathroom situation. Although it's downstairs, it's clean, spacious and private, and they have a changing table, which honestly makes such a difference. Believe it or not, not every place thinks about that, and it's always appreciated. Overall, a great spot for groups with good food, good drinks, and an aesthetic interior that left me wanting to go back for more.

From the atmosphere, to the decor to the food, everything just felt right. They currently have their winter menu right now and I ended up ordering the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wrap with sweet potato fries. Definitely a healthier bite on their menu but it was still packed with so much flavor and the perfect buffalo kick. For appetizers I ordered the Tempura Shrimp and I really liked that ALL the food came out steaming hot. I didn't catch our waitress's name but she was informative and kind from the beginning. She even told us they host comedy shows there, which is such a nice touch. I will definitely be returning, especially once warmer Chicago days arrive and their patio can fully be enjoyed.

I also liked the vinaigrette and the corn on the side which went very well with the crab meat. - Salmon Wontons - I was actually not a big fan of these wontons as I thought the salmon didn't have a lot of flavor and was quite fishy. The other ingredients on top of it unfortunately didn't help much in covering the flavors. - Seared Scallops - I haven't had scallops in a long time and I thought these scallops were absolutely delicious. The scallops themselves were semi-raw in the center but seared to perfection on the outside with a bit of a sweet char. I also loved the root vegetables sitting over the pilaf as it soaked in all the seafood flavor. This dish was also humongous and definitely left me very full afterwards. Solid dinner spot in La Grange!

We ate at one of the booths in the bar and the bar itself is huge - and looks like a great casual place to grab a drink with someone. For drinks - we got the Signature Doli. While we still preferred Sullivan's rendition of the drink - this one was tasty. For appetizer - we got the Jerk Chicken Fondue. I would recommend this. The jerk chicken was quite good and I would love that as just an entree or in a salad. The fondue came with variety of veggies, and croutons and fruit. It was a great starter to share. For entrees - we got the Filet Mignon Cobb Salad and the Chicken Rotisseiere Salad. I loved my chicken salad and the honey lime dressing was delicious - especially paired with the bacon and corn bread croutons. It was delicious and my husband really enjoyed his steak salad. All in all - a great experience - great attention from the wait staff and lovely interior. We will be back.

I started with the Solstice Spritz -- he mentioned it was on the sweeter side, and it honestly had the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. Not overly sugary, just really well done. For an appetizer, we got the best (in my opinion), the wild mushroom toast. This location uses softer bread compared to others, and the appetizer had a slight kick to it that made it even better. Definitely a standout dish. I also tried the espresso martini, which was made with Baileys. It was strong but good -- smooth with that rich espresso flavor coming through. For my entrée, I had the butternut squash risotto. It was okay, but I felt like it could've used a bit more sauce or an extra layer of flavor. I ended up adding more parmesan, which helped elevate it a little. The inside of this location is really nice -- different from the other locations I've been to, but in a good way. The ambiance definitely added to the experience.
