As soon as we landed in Chicago, we drove up north to check out Honeybear Cafe, something Hubs had…read morefound because he did his research, okay? Y'all know we will travel for food... TUH! Listen, the menu is extensive. So many options, so many variations. You can have this, swap this for that, add a third, okay?! The coffee was amazing. I think I had an Americano or something, but whatever it was, it was totally amazing. The fruit was fresh. The food was delicious. The portions are huge, and the flavors taste like they were made with love. And listen, the cheesecake, child! That is on a whole other level. She gave us some samples, and oh my gosh! I need to have that thing shipped to me. Then she suggested some kind of roux or sauce for the catfish. Oh. My. God. The buss-down was crazy! The vibe? The ambiance? Chef's kiss. The people? Listen, that's home. Chi-Town is my home... born and raised. Even though I'm from there, this time I wanted to experience Chicago as a tourist, without our kids, who are now young adults. The decor was totally vibey, divey, and all the things. They had real plants, and since I'm a new plant mom, of course I was loving every bit of that. I'm like, okay! Monsteras up in that joker piece! They also had fresh flowers on the tables, which was such a nice touch. Our waitress was phenomenal! Because I waited so long to write this review, I don't remember her name, but I'm telling you, she was amazing. She treated us like tourists, okay? She listened when we explained that we were doing the Chicago tourist thing and gave us the full experience. I loved that she took that into consideration, so kudos to her! There was also a young girl celebrating her birthday with her family, and it was so adorable watching her little sister run over to their family members. The whole place just had such a warm, welcoming, at-home feeling. We truly enjoyed ourselves, and I even walked away with a shirt because I loved the ones the staff was wearing. It was the perfect little homage to my hometown. Honeybear Cafe, we will definitely be back!

The chilaquiles plate was good and flavorful. if you're looking for something, sweet, we would highly recommend the blueberry French toast. overall, the restaurant was very brightly lit and clean.

The Hilton- Orrington was a superb hotel choice if you visit Evanston, which is delightful in the…read moresummer. The hotel had been renovated since my last stay - my wife and I stay there every few years when we go to a conference in Chicago. I have family in the north Chicago suburbs, and the Orrington is centrally located. The room, small by modern luxury standards, was immaculate. And I'm picky. It had all the amenities we needed as well as being close to Lake Michigan for morning walks. The free internet had 200 Mbps downloads, but one of our four devices (two Windows and two iOS) couldn't log in. We dined at the hotel three times, twice for breakfast in the Land and Lake and once in the Evanston Corner Bistro for dinner. The Land and Lake had great food and service and competitive prices ($15 omelets). You can see the skeleton for the building and the support columns that dictate the wall placement and ultimately limit size of the rooms. The Corner Bistro has a very long bar and offered outdoor seating that was perfect for an August dinner. I can confidently recommend the duck special and glass of pinot noir. The beds slept well, room service came daily, and on Tuesday, there was a manager's wine and cheese tasting. I was impressed with the wines that were poured and the cheeses as well. I recall sparkling water, smoked cheddar, Comté and Manchego cheeses, with Pascal Jolivet Loire "Attitude" sauvignon blanc, a Davis-Bynum pinot noir, both very good, and a quotidian red. The sales manager, Kagan Greenfield, was pouring the wine, fielded our questions, and made our stay so much more pleasurable - is a great source of local advice. And finally, the Cubs won two of three from the White Sox in the crosstown series with their only defeat sadly on the day we went to Wrigley.

Lots of seating from tables, to casual comfy chairs, gives great options. Outdoor seating, as well. Is Cupitol a chain? It should be!

Found out about this better than mid restaurant in Evanston. It may not be that big of a place but…read moreit has a surprisingly big menu if you can believe it. Mid Kitchen has a pretty big variety. Get something meaty or something plant based. The prices are pretty high but that's to be expected for the location and quality. Came at lunch. It's actually a pretty small place so it's always packed. There's only a few tables. At least that means people like it. Usually there's a long wait. A while later and we finally got one. It's about $15 for a sandwich, which is a lot but it's great stuff. I got the Vegan Club. This has avocado, along with plant based versions of bacon, chicken, and mayonnaise, along with lettuce and tomatoes. She got the Vegan BLT. This is almost the same thing but simpler. Got to say it has limited hours and space, which are the bad things about it along with it being expensive. It's got a lot for breakfast and lunch. They're closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

This time Uber wouldn't let me choose the tip amount, and I didn't realize they had charged nearly $20 for tip until it was too late to cancel this transaction. An outrageous rip-off -- and it's not like restaurants don't know Uber is shady and shoddy. I will never patronize this restaurant again. Is it really worth it to lose customers permanently just to save a few pennies on deliveries?

Food is one of the things guests remember the most from a wedding, and Food for Thought made sure…read moreour wedding reception would be talked about for a very long time. From the very beginning, we knew FFT was the right vendor for us because they took our favorite foods and crafted a completely customized menu perfectly tailored to what we enjoyed and what we envisioned for the event. From there, they then worked with us to refine the menu as we kept coming up with crazy ideas. We literally emailed Anna about how we had just tasted a delicious Oreo brownie and she had it added to our desserts right away. We also wanted a very custom bar menu, and they worked with us to get us all the different brands we were looking for, going so far as to drive to Indiana to source some of them. The other aspect of their menu that made such an impact was all the interactive food stations. Everything is so creatively presented and designed. At our tasting, Anna had literally taken elements of our décor and paper goods and other motifs and woven them throughout the presentations from custom serving trays to glass designs. Everything felt intentional and thought out. Guests were constantly praising this attention to detail. Every station had some element of action to it as well, making everything feel like a unique experience. In all of this, the food was all delicious. We wish we can eat and experience it all over again. We still dream of Chef Arlene's Guava and Cheese Empanadas. Throughout the process, Anna was extremely easy to work with and very responsive. One thing we wanted to highlight was that we wanted to be very careful with allergens. Despite the high number of dishes, Anna did a fantastic job working to highlight all the possible allergens in every item, taking the request very seriously. We also wanted to praise the service for the actual day-of catering. They had their full team there, and the professional service was fantastic from top to bottom. Our guests praised the food endlessly, and people who were planning their wedding wanted to know all the background details into our catering choice. That is just more proof that Food for Thought was the perfect caterer, and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

I went in with really high expectations based on the personal recommendation plus high reviews from AI. To start, I had a latte and it was good. Someone else had fresh grapefruit juice, which they loved. Someone else had an iced mocha, which fell flat. The pancakes were quite good. The waffle dish we had with blueberries and all were good. It was probably too sweet with all the things. I think I would have enjoyed a normal/plain belgian more. Then we had a veggie, squash, and tofu special, which was good. I think the hash brown sides were really good and flavorful. I liked having that half squash on the plate, which was then stuffed with the other items. Then someone else had the veggie tacos, which were also nice with avocado, goat cheese, and all. So all good fun and a nice brunch had by all. Our walk-in wait was hardly 5 mins around 12pm on a Sunday, which was much appreciated. The service was also decent - they were pretty busy, but kept things moving along. Next time I might try to out the other/closer location - this was more like - we want to visit the OG. But overall, good brunch and good times.
