    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!

    We had a free night in the Chicago area and found this ridiculously AWESOME tiki bar, Kahala Koa…read moreTiki Bar. The selection of drinks is downright encyclopedic, and the drinks were outstanding. 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!!

    This was a spur-of-the-moment choice but ended up being very fun for drinks and dinner!…read more I LOVE tiki bars and my husband noticed this one in the area near where we happened to be on Google maps, so off we went! We had about a 15 minute wait for a table but it gave us time to peruse the menu in the car. They offer many classic tiki cocktails, a page full of seasonal drinks, a page of "Designated Driver" mocktails (nice to have an option for something other than just a Shirley Temple!), Polynesian appetizers and entrees, and then Lola's Pizza. For drinks, I got the seasonal Gingerbread Painkiller and my husband got a Green Flash mocktail. (Pro tip on the seasonal drinks: check the regular cocktail menu to see how many skull and crossbones are listed under the regular version of your drink, if applicable, to see if it's a super strong one!) Mine was creamy and spicy but quite powerful. Props to our waitress, Makayla, who checked if anyone at the table was epileptic, because normally the "flash" part of my husband's drink is a strobing LED ice cube; I actually am photosensitive, so it came in the drink in non-strobe mode and just glowed an alien green. She said this was the first time it had actually paid off to ask, but I'm glad she did! The food was tasty: I ordered rumaki, an old-school appetizer of bacon-wrapped water chestnuts that you don't see very often these days, and he got loaded fries. We also got a small Lola's Pizza, which was very good, with a crisp but also chewy crust. The atmosphere here is pure tiki, with a fountain, swag lamps, bamboo, and Hawaiian-influenced Christmas music playing for the season. Lots of big groups here; everyone seemed to be having as good a time as we were! What a laid-back gem in Arlington Heights! We'll be back. Mahalo!

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!

    Good for fun with a focus on value, Mount Prospect Public house serves a fairly standard food menu…read moreof appetizers, wings, hot dogs, salads, and sandwiches at a very reasonable price with plenty of specials available. Drink prices are also priced fairly low, even without specials though you can enjoy an evening for less than 20 a person if you order the daily specials. I went here for trivia night and the dining room was fairly spacious and well setup for this. The crowd was lively and service was friendly though not extremely fast. The food was alright for me -- the BBQ pulled pork sliders being my favorite with slightly toasted buns and a fairly sweet sauce. The chicago style hot dog looked good, but was too pickle heavy for me and a bit sloppy to eat. The maxwell street polish was quite flavorful and the grilled onion flavor came out well. The brat was alright as well but there wasn't much that was too memorable about it. The fries were alright for me, but the onion rings were a bit overcooked and too thin for me. Overall, the food is alright but the bar setup and value prices make this a good spot to spend an fun evening with friends.

I walked into Public House expecting beer and bar food. Instead, I encountered Amanda. Ladies and gentlemen, we need to discuss the P.O.A. Index, an entirely unscientific scale developed after decades of rigorous field research conducted in bars, restaurants, airports, and regrettable weddings. Amanda is an 11-and-a-half out of 10. This is statistically impossible. She has one of those smiles that causes otherwise intelligent men to momentarily forget their own last name. A smile so radiant it could probably qualify as renewable energy. Unfortunately... she failed the Ring Check. Her left hand glimmered like the cruel punchline to an otherwise flawless joke. I briefly considered challenging her fiancé to trial by combat. Pistols at dawn. Sabers. Bare-knuckle boxing. Maybe a chili cook-off. Whatever the law allows these days. I would've won... and history remembers the brave. Now, on to Lauren. Lauren is the bartender. Lauren also committed the unforgivable crime of not swiping right on me on Facebook Dating. I wish her well, but I hope she knows she has created a permanent emotional scar that may never heal. Every time she poured a beer, I could hear Celine Dion playing faintly in the distance. My heart remains broken. The food arrived before I could spiral completely into despair. The onion rings were... objectively terrible. Hard enough to qualify as building materials. If Home Depot started selling battered masonry, these would be aisle seven. And yet... We could not stop eating them. Every ring was another terrible decision. "This one's awful." Crunch. "God, these are terrible." Crunch. "I think they're getting worse." Crunch. I've seen this same behavioral pattern in casinos. The Maxwell Street Polish was magnificent. Greasy. Covered in grilled onions. Exactly the sort of sandwich that reminds you Chicago understands things the rest of the country never will. The Chicago-style hot dog? Exactly what a Chicago dog should be. No unnecessary innovation. No avocado aioli. No artisanal truffle ketchup invented by a man named Brayden. Just an honest Chicago dog doing honest Chicago dog things. The pulled pork sliders were solid, disappearing quickly enough that nobody bothered pretending to be polite. Then came the brat... on the menu, the main topping was listed as sauerkraut. F&$@ that! Absolutely insulting. Keep your fermented cabbage and your Wisconsin propaganda. Give me onions, peppers, mustard, and enough cholesterol to make my physician visibly uncomfortable. Amanda smiled with the effortless confidence of someone who had no idea she was quietly dismantling civilization. I watched one man forget his wife's birthday, another walk into the hostess stand, and a third begin Googling engagement ring financing before she'd even asked if he wanted another Coors Light. Professional. Friendly. Catastrophically attractive. Seven stars... out of five. Lauren still owes me emotional damages. Amanda deserves hazard pay. The onion rings should probably be classified as geological formations. And I'd return tomorrow without hesitation.
