We got a few drinks. They were awesome as usual. The service is also great our waitress was very nice. Everyone ordered something different so we get to try a little bit of everything and we were not disappointed. So based on the dinner menu and the brunch menu, we really enjoyed them and we will be back for one or the other in the future.

My hubby and I were looking for a place with good drinks and decided to try this place. We parked…read moreand almost passed by the place because its like a small little bar with very little signage. It was before 6pm so we were able to find a seat. I think they have seats for only 25 people so prepare to stand when it gets busy. Our bartender was Edward and he was really nice. I ordered a Tiramisu Martini and then a Porn Star Martini. They were both good, but I preferred the Porn Star one. We also ordered a Smash Burger, which was actually from Holt's, connected to this bar. That burger was tasty - brioche bun & onions = yum. The chips it came with were crunchy. The Bacon popcorn was good but way too salty for me. Im glad we found this little bar and plan on coming back in the future.

In addition, we ordered a plate of bacon-covered water chestnuts, and they were so effing delicious!! I mean, they were a serious revelation!! So we ordered another plate. The atmosphere is amazing. The family that owns this wonderful tiki bars has put some serious work into adorning the place with amazing tiki decor. And this has to have taken YEARS to do. The outside of the building does not say, "Hey!! I'm an awesome tiki bars!!" But step inside and you are transported to tiki land extraordinaire. And then there is the staff there. They are so friendly, attentive, and helpful, and just very authentic and genuine. I CANNOT WAIT to return to Kahala Koa Tiki Bar the next time I'm in the Chicago area. The place totally rocks!!

We are huge fans of Coco and Blu in Arlington Heights and were so happy to see them expand to a…read moresecond location in Mount Prospect! The restaurant is part of a mixed-use building with apartments. Note that there are several spots in the apartment lot reserved for Coco and Maple guests, which is key as it is situated towards the end of the downtown area. Whereas Coco and Blu is more cozy, this is definitely leaning more industrial and modern. They retain a similar eclectic vibe with wallpaper and mismatched furniture. Orders are placed at the counter, and this time around we went for avocado toast and a Nutella strawberry toast for my kids. Both delightful! Other fan favorites for us include the quiche, matcha lattes, and espresso and tonic.

Came here for the first time on Friday, July 3 at 7:30 in the morning. My friend found them online…read moreand they apparently had a promotion for a bucket of lattes. When we got there, I was a little surprised to see there were already people there seated and having coffee and breakfast. Luckily got there early enough so that I did find some street parking although in this particular area street parking is not that common but there are some lots also. The place is very cute very large high ceilings. The furniture is so cute and a mix. The two girls who are working behind the counter that day were so patient and very friendly. While it was a nice day out, I will say I wish they air conditioning was a little bit better because they do at least keep the doors closed. There is seating outside however we chose to sit inside to get and stay cool. There's a quite a variety of seating options from couches and different chairs and communal tables or separate single tables We did each order a different latte for the bucket. The traditional quiche was absolutely delicious and brought out heated and warm. The plates are so super cute too with all of the floral feminine touches. While all the other reviews do state that this is pricey I will agree this is pricey for a coffee shop that doesn't serve a full meal. But I will say that I do support local small business so I'm OK with this. But how often will I come here knowing that the prices are quite high is probably maybe a few times a year at best I hope the menu continues to evolve and grow. I would definitely come back, but this is for sure. A treat not an everyday normal routine.

I went with a red blend- which was incredible. To eat, we tried the Korean meatballs to start, and then I went with a short rib gnocchi from their specials. Everything was delicious! It was very nice inside as well! I'll definitely come back

Excellent Circuses, service was good, we had reservations so was seated promptly…read more Food was good but overpriced. Drinks were smaller than expected for that price. The decor was second to none Asians the Bar and restaurant area had nice wall decoration and ceilings had dahlias hanging - nice touch. First time visitor should say that so wait staff may recommend items. This menu, we were told was fairly new so if you been here before, the menus are also in this review. Cheers!

Food: 4 stars Service: 2 stars…read more My husband and I made a reservation for 6:30 on a Friday night for the Patio. This restaurant is downtown Mount Prospect along the Metra tracks. They have a nice sized outdoor seating area. The inside also looked cute. We were excited to see that they had a singer. At first he sang mostly Spanish songs but then switched to various songs and genres. He was very good. I'm not sure if he's a regular performer there or not though as this was our first time. We were seated and looked over the menu. We ordered chips and salsa (great chips and salsa btw). Then we ordered Dahlia margaritas. Chips and salsa came out quickly. Then we waited and waited and waited for our drinks. I saw a guy walking around with 2 not very appealing looking margaritas. He unsuccessfully attempted to deliver them to multiple tables, then finally came to our table and said "2 traditional margaritas" and we said no, we ordered Dahlia margaritas and he goes "Oh ya these are Dahlia margaritas." I looked at the margaritas and they had no salt and just looked meh. We kind of hesitated and he was like with no salt? And we were said no, we said salt. So we sent them back. Guys, I NEVER send things back...ever. Then we waited some more and finally the correct drinks were brought to us. We ordered our food, shrimp tacos and steak tacos. Then we were just chatting and we realized it had been awhile since we ordered. It was busy so we kind of just shrugged it off. Then our server came over and apologized that it was taking so long and said it should be out soon. We waited and waited and waited. We noticed that no one else around us seemed to be having delayed service. Then some girl who looked about 18 came over and apologized for the wait and asked if she could get us anything.... I wanted to say our food, but I did not. No joke, we waited 45 minutes for our tacos. All that was offered was a "sorry for the delay". When our food came we had to ask for silverware and then also ordered another round of margaritas (also side note the Dahlia Margarita is just meh and not worth the higher price). Our margaritas took 15 minutes. We were almost done with our dinner by the time they arrived. The shrimp tacos were really good minus the crazy amount of oil that dripped out while eating them. I held them sideways to try to drain as much out as I could. My husband enjoyed his steak tacos. Over $100 for 4 margaritas and 2 taco meals. Which is the standard nowadays. I will say the only reason we will not be returning is because of the service and the fact that they didn't seem to care that the service was so poor. Otherwise this would be a new favorite place of ours.

We've yet to travel to Japan, but feel this would be a similar experience if you were to travel to the country. The menu has quite a few items in Japanese only. The server gave us a tip to use Google translate and you could take a picture of the menu and it will translate what they are serving that day. They're sashimi is massive!!!! You could tell the chef has a great connection with his fish supplier. We can't find anyone else that has the quality matched in this area for the size. We always return for the grilled mackerel. It's a crowd pleaser doesn't have a fishy aroma at all and it's cooked to perfection every single time. They also have karaoke right next door if you are looking for a fun night experience. We couldn't recommend this place enough.

Even though we arrived…read morenearly two hours early for our dinner reservation after a long flight from LAX, the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and professionalism. The hosts and servers went above and beyond to make us comfortable, personally escorting us to bar seating and treating us as if we were right on schedule. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in--attentive, friendly, and truly focused on hospitality. Despite simply sitting at the bar while we waited, we felt fully taken care of. Now for the highlight: the signature cocktails. Every single one we tried was exceptional--beautifully crafted, incredibly balanced, and unlike anything we've had elsewhere. The creativity and quality of their cocktail program is truly top‑tier. We would absolutely recommend The Foxtail to anyone visiting the Chicago area, especially those near O'Hare Airport. Whether you're there for dinner, drinks, or just passing through, this place delivers a wonderful experience with unforgettable cocktails and exceptional service. A definite must‑visit!

We were so happy with our lunch experience. The food was better than other Italian restaurants we have ate at. Service was great. Full disclosure. It was a Saturday late lunch and the place was basically empty. Our server started us off with a small loaf of warm Italian bread. Dipping sauce was olive oil with spices and tomatoes. It was heavenly! My husband ordered the Vodka Rigatoni with small asparagus pieces. He said it was better tasting than my homemade Vodka Rigatoni! And he was right! I ordered the Eggplant Salad. What a showstopper it is! It tasted as good as.it looked. The fried eggplant was sliced thin, breaded and fried. The salad included mixed greens, mozzarella slices and tomatoes. Their prices are very reasonable. I urge everyone to go to Trezeros.

First point the waitress was very nice. First came The bread which was very good, then we ordered the mussels, average garlic sauce awful mussels, way too small And overcooked! You could barely see the mussels inside the shells. I ordered a Braciole and my wife ordered Veal Saltimbocca. We waited about 45 minutes for the food to come, my braciole was flavorless the stuffing didn't taste like anything the meat was tough and tasted boiled, the risotto underneath was Ok, only ate about 1/3 of the braciole, it truly awful. My wife's veal was inedible, very very tough, she couldn't barely cut it! The prosciutto on it was thick and overcooked, disgusting! We told the waitress who was sympathetic, said she would send the manager we never saw him instead she offered free dessert. Moral of the story! We left most of the food on the plates as it was inedible, worse $132.00 I have ever spent, we will not be back, I wouldn't feed that food to a dog!

We had reservations for 9pm and were able to be seated straight away. We arrived to find the address brought us to a barber shop. Fortunately, my husband had done some research and knew the drill--we made our way to a organ against a brick looking wall. On top of the organ was a bell--we rang the bell and shortly after the brick wall swung open and a woman came out to greet us. She had us play a tune on the organ and then brought us back into the speakeasy. The vibes are pitch perfect. Dimly lit with candles on tables and artful films playing on screens. We loved it. We were greeted straight away and brought water. You can also get a full meal here which we did not know but noted for our next visit. They had a special Valentine's menu as well as their regular cocktail menu. For my first cocktail, I got the paper plane which was light, lemony, and lovely with the adorable touch of a small paper plane pinned to the cocktail with a clothespin. For my second, I got one of their Valentine's specials which was essentially a Boulevardier made with a small float of mezcal on top. What an amazing addition to this classic cocktail! Truly, gave it added dimension, depth, and smoky flavor. I loved it. We also enjoyed their Valentine's dessert special, which was princess cake. It was a lovely blend of tart raspberry and warm almond--we loved it! The service was lovely throughout our experience. Get to it!
