    Corn Croquettes
    Leslie A.

    Came here on a random Friday night for the first time with a friend for dinner. Luckily we made reservations ahead of time just in case this place definitely got packed even though we came for a 5 PM dinner. luckily, we also were able to each find street parking which happens to be free. Service here was absolutely incredible and I forgot his name, but our server was super kind and friendly. The food came out very quickly and quite fresh. The tacos were good, but nothing out of this world frankly and quite overpriced. The mango ceviche that came out was good but again nothing that really stood out. My friend Said she absolutely loved her salmon but she didn't touch any of the vegetables because everything was smothered and butter. The biggest disappointment frankly was when we ordered dessert and had the churros. Whoever fry them up literally fried them up to a crisp. There was nothing chewy about them. They were absolutely rock solid hard and when I pointed it out to our waiter, he said that was not normal nor should it have been cooked or fried that much. So they were kind enough to remove that from the Bill because frankly, we didn't eat any of it. I think it's worth checking out. The place is really cute, but considering all of the choices for truly authentic tacos and Mexican inspired food this is not on the top of my list..

    Who knew Dahlia was our plan D for the night? We weren't able to get a table without a solid 30+ min wait at restaurants A, B, and C, and upon Yelp searching it up, we stumbled upon Lady Dahlia, and they luckily had a table for 4 available. And it turned out to be one plan D alright, plan Delicious! Lively, fun atmosphere that's good for happy hour but also still appropriate for a family meal out. Appetizers we enjoyed were croquettes, coconut shrimp, and meat empanadas. All were crispy, flavorful, and appetizing. On another visit, the maple glazed pork belly was a favorite, with the fatty meat and bed of sweet potatoes and walnut. Flautas and chicken nachos were also crowd pleasers, but less unique. The taco salad is a good light option, and if you feel like something heavier and heartier, the burrito or enchiladas will hit the spot, though I thought my burrito could use more cheese or a little more texture. Tequila may not be the answer, but it's worth a shot. I recommend the classic margarita, which is $12 and a bit modest sized but very tasty. Can't wait to try some other cocktails on my next visit. Our server Gabby on our first visit and Filip on visit two were polite, attentive, and helpful. Kudos all around, and see you soon, Lady D!

    Street Corn Croquettes

    Went for brunch and was not disappointed. The brunch menu is limited but the options offered something for everyone. We started with mimosa and a mimosa flight. The flight included a grapefruit mimosa, a blood orange and jalepaño, they all were tasty but the blood orange was my favorite. We started with the street corn croquettes , breaded corn topped with chipotle aioli. They were excellent the inside was smoky corn, melted Cotija cheese, and a white sauce. The Churro French Toast was a standout. It was thick slices of bread with a cinnamon-sugar crust, topped with fruit and drizzled with a cream sauce. It was not to rich since the cream sauce was not on top. My husband and daughter had the breakfast steak tacos. The steak was marianted and smoky. Overall, brunch was excellent and service was top notch.

    Came here to celebrate my best friends birthday and this place did not disappoint. Drinks were SO tasty. Food was phenomenal, the homemade tortillas were so flavorful and always so much better than store bought #chefskiss. The service was good. The ambiance was absolutely beautiful. Loved all the accent walls and ceiling decorations. We will definitely be back. Dropped one star because one of our friends has a seafood allergy and was only suggested one item that he could eat from the menu, the chicken bowl. We were told their chips are fried in the same oil as their seafood and wasn't sure of the whole pan/cooking situation.

    Steak taco. Side Rice. Side Elote

    Lady Dahlia is such a cute spot. I love their decor and it's definitely a fun spot for Margaritas and tacos with your friends. This was my first time there and it did not disappoint. FOOD: the chips and salsa was good. The salsa definitely has a kick to it. I ordered the steak taco dinner with rice and sub the black beans for elote. The steak tacos were good and had really good spices but I thought it was a little salty. However, the elotes were amazing! It was kind of Smokey which I really liked. For drinks, I order the clover cocktail which is a speciality drink for St. Patrick's. The cocktail was not overly sweet and it had a more floral scent-- may be hibiscus. I thought it was great! I wish it's on their main drink menu because I would get it every time. I definitely want to try other things there. I think it's a really fun Mexican spot in the suburbs.

    I have now been to Lady Dahlia's twice, and have been more than impressed both times. I ordered the veggie enchiladas with green sauce the first time (not a menu item, but they will gladly make it for you if you're looking for a vegetarian option). I ordered them with the red sauce the second time, and my friend had the steak tacos. The pineapple jalapeño margarita is probably one of the best margaritas I've had in a very long time. The tequila is fresh and clean, and cocktail itself is perfection. I am obsessed with the decor here! It's very trendy and modern and makes for a great girls' night out or a date spot. The staff is very friendly and attentive as well. I can't wait to visit again!

    Shrimp tacos
    Sydney H.

    I am very picky about Mexican food, but Lady Dahlia did not disappoint!!! Our service was a bit slow in terms of waiting awhile to order, but the food came out fast. The inside was very fun, I want to go back soon during the weekend to get margs. We went on Tuesday & they were having a $2 taco Tuesday deal. The tacos were pretty small, so I'm not sure if they would be worth the price on a regular day. All of our food was SO GOOD. Definitely some of the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. They didn't have much on them but the sauce on top of them was addicting. I started with 2 and had to order a 3rd because it was so good. We also got chicken taquitos that were super crunchy & came with another delicious sauce. Highly recommend checking this place out for taco tuesday!!!

    Three cheese enchiladas
    Pooja P.

    I've been wanting to try Lady Dahlia in Mt. Prospect for a while, and I finally made it! The food was delicious. I had the three cheese enchiladas and the three cheese bowl, and both were super flavorful. The portions are generous--you get rice, beans, salad, and guac with your meal, so it's very filling. We also tried the queso fundido, but it wasn't what I expected. I thought it would be more like a classic queso dip, but it didn't quite hit the mark. That said, the entrées definitely made up for it. For vegetarians, the main filling option is cheese, which is great if you're a cheese lover like me, but I'd love to see more variety with veggie-based fillings in the future. The decor is beautiful, with a cozy and charming atmosphere, and they even have a small party room for events. The service, though, was on the slower side, so I'd recommend going when you have time to relax. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back. A few more vegetarian options would make it even better!

    Happy Hour Chips + Salsa + Guacamole
    Joah K.

    I recently took my friend to Lady Dahlia Tequila Bar to celebrate his birthday, and while the atmosphere was very cute and vibey with attentive service, the food didn't quite meet our expectations. We enjoyed the two items they offered during happy hour, sampling their classic margaritas as well as their guac & chips & salsa. We also ordered street corn croquettes, mango ceviche, braised short rib Oaxacan pizza, and steak manchego tacos. The margaritas and guac were delicious and of great value during happy hour, but the rest of the food felt overpriced for what it delivered. The corn croquettes missed that oomph. I was hoping for a crispy texture, but they were a lot mushy and lacked that flavor. The mango ceviche was similarly underwhelming, with an interesting flavor, and the chips served with it tasted too similar to the pizza crust and the tortilla chip. Everything just started to taste the same at one point. The tacos were salty, although the short ribs on the pizza were flavorful and well-prepared. I'd go back for the happy hour margaritas and guacamole, plus their $2 taco Tuesday special to try all the tacos they offer.

    Short rib taco, grilled shrimp taco and crispy aguacate taco.

    Came here for the first time and had Jose for our waiter. He was amazing! The food was incredible too. Taco Tuesday did not disappoint! Tried the grilled shrimp taco with pineapple pico, short rib taco and the aguacate taco. The flavors were truly the best. Normally I don't like corn tortillas but these were next level!

    Chips and guac
    Khadijah H.

    Came here for happy hour and was not happy at all. The HH menu I saw online changed drastically from what was offered. Their HH is daily 4-6 for only $8 classic margaritas and $5 chips salsa and guac. That's it. How is that happy?!? We paid $12 for three small short rib empanadas and they were incredibly greasy/ oily. After two bites it was a bit that was bland. You were tired of the taste and would crave something more. The sauce on top didn't help or elevate the flavor of the food either. My friend purchased a taco meal and was informed about other sides that could be substituted. Mind you, this information is not presented on the menu. He opt for plantains over the rice and was charged a $2 change fee. Like what?! Spent $60 minus the tip for the meal and left incredibly hungry.

    Such a cute find off the mount prospect metra train stop. The interior is beautiful, but we wanted to sit outside on this nice day. Our service was great, and we loved the happy hour chips/guac/salsa deal! I wish the other cool margaritas and cocktails were on the happy hour menu though. I got the pineapple jalapeño margarita and cucumber margarita off the regular menu, and both were refreshing and delicious. The spice definitely has a kick in both the pineapple habanero guac and pineapple jalapeño margarita! Chips were great too. We shared the corn and avocado ceasar salad and steak bowl. Both were delicious and big portions. The chicken was so flavorful and marinated. I didn't love the small cut up steak portions in the bowl, but all the other toppings were great! I would definitely recommend this spot - it's definitely a good find in the suburbs!

    If you're looking for a good happy hour spot, Lady Dahlia provides a great atmosphere with excellent service. Came on a Wednesday with some friends and got the chips and guacamole HH special. The chips were pleasant - fried and salted just right. The guac was also seasoned perfectly and there's a generous amount. I had a couple margaritas since all the margs were part of the happy hour special - pineapple jalapeno and ginger peach. Delicious, light, and perfect on a summer day. They had the right amount of oomph to relax you. Can we talk about the service?? The staff here is incredible! The speed and attention to detail is better at Lady Dahlia compared to many high end restaurants. Whether it's filling your water, providing suggestions, taking away plates, and more, the staff here is well trained and made my table feel well taken care of. Our table also ordered chicken empanadas with a side of plantains and a nacho pizza without the meat, and these were all quickly devoured. The plantains were the right amount of sweet, not mushy, and paired well with the empanadas. What a nice experience at Lady Dahlias. They really take care of you and make you feel special. Definitely a place to visit over and over.

    Shrimp tacos, roasted sweet plantains (AMAZING) and delicious sauces!

Waited tables is a dying art but this establishment gives me hope for the culture of elevated dining. Staff knows the menus, are courteous, and are one of the defining marks of the restaurant ambiance. The sportsball TVs can be a bit annoying at time, especially when trying to have a pleasant evening with the kiddos (there is no winning their attention vs the screens) and do more to break the "dressed down" atmosphere by inserting a bit more "sports bar" than needed. At least they keep it at the bar most nights. One of our favorite date night spots in Arlington Heights!

The hostess appeared wearing a blue-and-white striped sweater hanging off one shoulder like she'd stepped out of an Italian perfume commercial. Around her neck was one of those little cornicello pepper necklaces, dangling just enough to suggest fate had finally decided to throw me a bone. Blue eyes. Not "blue." The kind of blue sailors used to abandon families over. She laughed at one of my jokes. That was all the encouragement my diseased brain required. I immediately conducted a full tactical assessment of the restaurant. The P.O.A. Index... ...was approaching DEFCON 1. Every direction I looked was another devastatingly attractive waitress carrying Aperol Spritzes with effortless confidence. It was like wandering into a government-funded supermodel relocation program. Then... A shadow fell across the table. A man. Our waiter was a man. Christ Almighty. The emotional whiplash nearly snapped my neck. It's like going to the zoo hoping to see lions and discovering the enclosure has been replaced with an accountant named Kevin. There are beautiful women everywhere, and somehow I'm discussing pasta recommendations with a guy who probably knows three different olive oils by taste. Cruel. Absolutely cruel. To his credit, the b@5tard was outstanding. Friendly. Fast. Knew the menu inside and out. Kept the drinks full. Never interrupted. The s.o.b. gave me absolutely nothing to complain about, which only deepened my resentment. The food, meanwhile, was infuriatingly good. The pizzas arrived looking like they'd been blessed by an Italian grandmother carrying unresolved anger from 1947. Thin crust. Fresh mozzarella. Just enough char to remind you that ovens are supposed to flirt with fire, not electricity. The pasta had that unmistakable handmade texture that makes Olive Garden feel like a felony. The cocktails disappeared with alarming speed. By my third Negroni, I was convinced I could hear Dean Martin narrating my life. Walking out, I glanced back toward the hostess one last time. She smiled. For approximately three seconds I considered abandoning my entire life to become a part-time sommelier with absolutely no qualifications. Then reality returned. The male waiter handed me the check. Four stars. The food was phenomenal. The cocktails were dangerous. The hostess should be classified as an Italian national treasure. And our waiter deserves a raise... despite committing the unforgivable crime of existing between me and the waitresses.

My first experience as a diner in this establishment at the behest of my beautiful bride was during Brunch service. As I ordered the brisket hash with tea, the question was raised as to what wood and how they smoked their brisket. The server could not immediately answer, so she asked the kitchen/owner. They buy already smoked brisket from a third party supplier. Which one? "A supplier local to Illinois" they assured me, unable to specify the type of wood used (they think it is cherry). Their tea is bought from an upscale third party as well. The food was nothing special, and was about as scratch-made as the local McDonalds up the street. The inside of the dining area is wonderful if you're next to the window yet an utterly cramped experience sitting anywhere further back than the bar. Does this place need a bar? Is it just for the soccer moms and the owner? For the price they charged me, I could've gone to an actual smokehouse for cheaper, and see the cooking process firsthand while talking about smoking meats with one of the pitmasters over a much more lovingly curated selection of libations. My second experience was an al fresco lunch with my wife and children. While the outdoor dining in Arlington Heights is always top notch, the service and food was again not up to par. I ordered a doppio and was served an entire mug of espresso. Our server then decided to argue that I was indeed served a doppio, revealing that this establishment does not educate their servers on basic fluidic measurements in the very industry they work in, nor do they train their servers to speak honestly or respectfully to customers when their errors are brought to their attention. The food was also not worth the price. Scratchboard Kitchen is a subpar establishment that brings in third party food cooked offsite to remix into something they claim is "made from scratch" simply because they reheat it with a few eggs. Their waitstaff is unable and unwilling to understand one of the most fundamental pours in coffee and would rather lie to customers instead of simply admitting they weren't properly trained. There are better eats in the area for cheaper. Avoid.

In the other hand, their "Pesto Cavatappi" was served warmed and you could tell it was just made. The chicken on this dish tasted very good and the texture was very different from the Chicken Parm. I would recommend this dish instead of their number one as it was told to us by the server. We ordered two cappuccinos and their Flourless Chocolate Cake. Both cappuccinos were very milky and not warm enough. The dessert was really good but it also took a while to get it. We were half way done with our cappuccinos. Price - I feel they are priced too high for a chicken dish and pasta. Although it is a good portion it is still chicken and pasta. It was $31 for the chicken parm and $26 for the Cavatappi. The dessert was $12 It was a busy day but they should still keep their standards and serve food with the right temperature. I will give it another change for sure.

    I just dined here for the first time! I usually dine at the Buffalo Grove location which I've been…read moreto twice already, and is 10 minutes from my office), but I was dying to try this location since it's also about 10 minutes from home! Anyway, even though I placed an online pickup order, I decided to eat my order inside the restaurant, since there were a lot of available tables (I came in at about 8 pm on Sunday 9/13)! Plus, the whole place looked so nice, clean and relaxing to dine in! My order was accurate and ready on time! Overall, I had a great experience with this location and will definitely be back! I had a Build Your Own Grains Bowl with lamb meatballs and braised lamb, plus almost every dressing, vegetable topping and all the spicy sauces (the only topping I chose not to order were the Kalamata olives, which I'll probably get next time), plus I got the free side pita, 1 full side pita, and the Blueberry Lavender Lemonade (I was going to get the Strawberry Ginger Lemonade, but changed my mind at the restaurant)! The food was so spectacularly deliciously fresh and flavorful! I'm glad I got the extra side pita (I think I should've ordered more -- they're so huge and pillowy soft here! Definitely been get and better than the smaller typical pitas served by Naf Naf Grill and most other Mediterranean type restaurants)! Plus, the drinks here are more imaginative and flavorful (I'm hooked on the Blueberry Lavender Lemonade)! Anyway, like I said-- I do plan on coming back to this restaurant!! Great food, service, ambience and location!!

    My son took me to Cava for the first time tonight. Here are my thoughts:…read more -Place was packed on a Friday night at 9pm. Very nice vibe. Place looks new. -My son described it as "a healthier, and better tasting Chipotle." -You get to pick your base--we did the mixed greens and rice--you can also choose grains. I prefer Chipotle rice over Cava's rice. -Then you get to choose your meat, we went with the honey chicken. Very good. Plenty of meat. -Finally, I added tzatziki, hummus, cucumbers, olives, and a few other exotic items. -All I can say is--all the ingredients were high quality, and tasted great! I will be going back again soon! -Cost was about $13 a person, $2 or $3 more than Chipotle, but worth every penny : ) Highly recommended!
