    Very spacious restaurant! A decent amount of outdoor seating. We sat outdoors and really enjoyed our experience. Service was friendly and fast! The first order of chips and salsa is included but you will be charged for refills. I appreciate that they include one round and at least list this fact on their menu. The charge is $2.50 which isn't unreasonable. I'm glad they are transparent and reasonable and I can't blame restaurants for trying to manage costs. I had the enchiladas trio. I don't find this offered at too many Mexican restaurants so I was happy about it. You get one enchilada with each sauce (ranchero, verde, and mole). However, instead of having each enchilada be one sauce they went horizontally across all three enchiladas. I suggest they don't do that. I kind of wanted them separate. What if I wanted to take the verde one home? You get my point. I chose shredded Chicken for the meat. Overall, pretty good experience!

    We stopped by Mia's cantina while we shopped around at the wheeling night market. What a great summer evening event to attend with family and friends. We were able to grab the last spot on the patio (it fills up quick) and the weather was beautiful. The food was delicious and the portions were big! We had the Al pastor tacos, fajitas, and my kids enjoyed their chicken quesadilla! All the food was really good. The entire family loved what they ordered. The customer service was friendly and we were seated promptly. The food did take a little long but was understandable since they were busy. They gave us salsa and chips to munch on while we waited. Definitely a great spot for a meal in the wheeling town center. Will be back for some more tacos!

    My friend and I grabbed a light dinner here while listening to live music in the courtyard. We were seated on the patio, and then waited for some time before anyone acknowledged us again. We were then served complimentary chips and salsa, and we both ordered chicken quesadillas. We both agreed that the quesadillas were extremely bland -- they either needed some seasoning or toppings other than the small cup of sour cream they were served with. I ended up dipping mine in some of the salsa that had come with our chips. That strategy was short-lived because while we were still eating, someone came by and cleared the chips and salsa off our table. I'm thinking this was just an off night, as I've eaten here before without issue. I'll come back, but will avoid the flavorless quesadillas next time.

    Fantastic! Had the regular steak tacos with the grilled pineapple guacamole. Everything was fresh and delicious! Will for sure be back again!

    Came for late lunch. Delicious food and beautifully presented. The enchilada trio with all 3 proteins and all 3 sauces was excellent. The tacos Americanos were also yummy. The salsa and chips were very fresh and tasty.

    Our experience here was just okay but there's a lot of potential here! We all enjoyed our food and the chips & salsa, but the service was quite slow. Our server was not intuitive to our party/those around us (getting drinks to the table and coming back to take our orders when we were ready). I'll come back for the food!!

    Expensive food & slow service. You get one bowl of chips, despite the group size, rest are extra.

    Do you have options for gluten-free customers?

    Hi Dora - Yes we have many gluten-free options such as Pork Pastor with corn tortillas, in fact most of the menu items are gluten free as we use corn masa tortillas. - See you soon!

    Social Inn has been on my to-try list for some time.  My husband and I finally had a chance to…read morecheck it out on a Monday evening recently.  I made a reservation via Tock that I already had an account for years, so that was simple. On a weekday evening, as expected, the restaurant was not busy.  We were promptly seated at a 4-top table (2 × 2-top) against the right wall, with some other 2-tops on both sides.  Like many reviewers had mentioned, the venue was beautiful, modern and chic. There were 7 tables occupied, including us.  The music that they had was not too loud, just that customers' conversations were amplified by the box shape open dining area.  If we focused enough, we could hear every conversation if we wanted to.  This was obvious when a table of about 6 women got seated at a table near the front door, some of them laughed and talked very loudly.  My husband and I just found it funny and didn't let that bother us.  However, when the restaurant is filled on busier days, it might be a different story. Our server, Patrick, was very nice and attentive.  Since they did not list drinks on their menu except those with alcohol, I asked him about non-alcoholic drinks.  After a brief "discussion", he asked me to leave it to him to make me a drink with mango.  He came up with a beautiful drink that was good and refreshing, with some mango flavor.  It was Virgin Paloma on our receipt for $8, which was reasonable.  He was very polite and checked in on us several times at appropriate times during our dinner.  The pace of the dinner was good, we spent a total of an hour and 15 minutes in the restaurant. Patrick might be the only waiter serving all the tables that evening, though. I also ordered Grilled Octopus ($22) which was very good, tender and flavorful, but was a little too salty to my taste.  The small pita bread wedges were warm and fluffy with some crispy edges, the beet hummus was creamy, and everything was delicious and tasted fresh.  I generously shared 2 little bites of octopus with my husband and I finished the entire plate, it was so good!  My husband really liked his Spiked White Fish ($29) and I shared a bite of that too.  He also had a House Salad for $6, that was a very good value.  He enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Crossing ($12) too.  We also shared an order of Crème Brulee ($8), that was creamy and cooked perfectly.  We ordered a takeout order of Rigatoni with Sausage ($23), that was a good portion, and was still delicious and al dente the next day after being microwaved. I am so happy that we found Social Inn - a hidden gem in Plaza del Prado, it's not far from home, with comfortable and beautiful ambiance, excellent service (from Patrick), an attractive menu with enticing food (fresh ingredients and appealing plating), and reasonable prices, we will definitely be back!

    It's been a while since I went to Social Inn. They used to be open for lunch as well as dinner, and…read morethat was easier for me to get to. We were in the area late in the day and remembered Social Inn was open, so we went. We ordered a variety of items. I had the Social Burger (at least 1/2 pound), we also ordered their chicken dinner salad and the beet hummus. Everything was delicious. I did order my burger medium and it was delivered well done, but it was still good. They also have one of the best gluten-free buns I've ever had. I do wish they were open at lunch time still, but I understand they need to be open for their busiest hours. Social Inn is a great option when you are in the Glenview area.

Our…read morelarge group had the entire restaurant to ourselves from 5pm - 11pm and it was everything a private event should be. Service throughout was consistent and of great quality. Staff members were on top of their game, taking care of 50+ people who were ready to drink/eat and have a great time. Whenever I had an empty plate it was quickly removed to make room for another. This casual yet elevated bar offers delicious drinks and food. I did not have any alcohol but from what I was told the drinks were strong and tasty. The food hit the spot for me. We were provided with a TON of food, to the point where to go boxes were put out since there was plenty to bring home. My favorites were the Buffalo Mac n cheese, cheese curds, and chicken tenders. They also had veggie options which I appreciated since this was a carb heavy event. For dessert there were cookies which was the perfect way to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth.

One of my friends also had the pot roast with fries and the third person in our party ordered a quinoa salad, which looked delicious. my friend ordered coffee and they made a fresh pot for her. How many other places at dinner would do something like that? Service was very good atmosphere wonderful and I have enough left for lunch tomorrow!

We happened to visit during the Strawberry Festival, so it was busier than usual, but the staff was friendly, efficient, and provided excellent service throughout. While waiting for our table, we relaxed in the Adirondack chairs on the lawn and enjoyed refreshing Dutch 75 craft cocktails. The burrata with fresh basil, tomatoes, red pesto, and balsamic was delicious, especially with a side of sourdough bread. The salmon mango tower was light, fresh, and perfect for summer. Our favorite was the Chicken Tinga panini with creamy avocado and spicy sauces that really elevated the sandwich. We finished with a glass of Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc and rich, creamy chocolate mousse topped with Marcona almonds. It was a wonderful evening from start to finish. Highly recommend Corked Restaurant & Wine Bar! Sorry, no pictures!

Corked has an extensive wine list as well as a great cocktail selection. We tried to order some snacks along with another drink and that order got completely missed/forgotten by our wait staff. This happened twice as our evening progressed. The cocktails and dessert that were delivered were excellent. Definitely would try to visit again to be able to enjoy the lawn and fire pits.
