Sally recommended to me the shrimp ceviche ($15.95) which was very good and so fresh. There is a huge variety of salads and sandwiches, very hard to choose. I am glad we got the ceviche, it was a huge portion with lots of fresh shrimp and cilantro. It was more than enough for two people to share. I really admire the restoration of this old bar, it is quite beautiful and has some gorgeously restored copper ceilings. Would definitely come back here again.

FOOD: $22 too high for 3 small tacos. They don't even give you sauce and tortilla chips to snack…read moreon while you wait for your tacos, and No rice and beans! I dined at this restaurant on a Sunday evening at the time that tacos are the only entree on the menu. 3 tacos--choice of Pork, Shrimp, Beef, Chicken. The shrimp was my favorite; should have gotten all three shrimp. However, there was nothing special about the tacos to cost $22, and that's excluding taxes, and tip. FYI: The couple dining at the table next to me said that their drinks were delicious. They were given an extra churro so they gave it to me along with the complementary sauce that's served with it. It was delicious! SERVICE: Extremely BAD. Short staffed. Only a young lady taking orders. Just BAD! Ambiance: I ate on the small patio area in front of the restaurant. It's too small and close for comfort to me. So, on busy days and times it's probably best to make a reservation. Not so sure if I'll dine at Amerikas again; so I will not be recommending anyone to dine there. However, others seem to like dining there pop perhaps you will too.

They carry our favorite beer, Allagash, which was a nice bonus! The food was very good. Cheese curds to start, yum! I ordered a burger that was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and John had the chicken sandwich, which he also really enjoyed. Everything came out fresh and well prepared. The corner location was quiet when we visited, and while it is winter now, the outdoor seating looks like it would be fantastic in the warmer months. I also loved learning that Kettlestrings is the name of the founding family of Oak Park. A thoughtful, well done neighborhood spot that we will definitely be back to.

But it was a music/ pool hall that served Louisiana inspired cuisine. My ex and I went here to give it a try as it was the only thing opened after 10:00 pm. Very chill ambient and atmosphere. Low population of people and the music was 90s and soul. Our server was a nice young white guy who knew the menu and had recs. We ordered the gumbo, jambalaya and shrimp and grits. We also ordered two drinks. The food was not horrific but definitely needed pointers and tips. The rice in the jambalaya was still slightly undercooked. The roux of the gumbo was off. Not burnt and not salty, but I could not put my finger on it. The grits were also undercooked but the shrimp were decent. I knew it would need some work but I also knew I would possibly return.

Ordered the plate of Gnocchi with roasted butternut squash and Chicken Madeira, both the lunch size entrees. The waitress knew we were going to split the meals in half so she brought the meals out separately and in two separate plates. Doing so gave us time to savor each meal on its own and not have to try and divvy it up ourselves. I loved it. The food was phenomenal! We also had the bacon wrapped shrimp for an appetizer and that did not last long on the plate. Upon leaving we were trying to buy a couple bottles of wine. We tried getting the attention of the staff, yet were told they were busy. We waiting a good 10mins and still didn't get any help. I'm not sure why they were so short staffed for a busy afternoon, they could literally have 1 or 2 people at a register just for takeout wine orders. Or, suggestion, before we leave our table, we put the order in and they have it ready at the register for us to pay on our way out. Either way we walked out of there without wine. This place is big enough to accommodate alot of people and there is a parking garage just behind it, which makes it very convenient.
