We tried the Boston Fish Market for my birthday dinner this year, and had a pretty good experience…read more It was on a Wednesday and the restaurant was not busy. We were seated promptly in the formal dining room which was nicely decorated. Our semi-circular booth was spacious and comfortable. There were different sections in the restaurant that were more casual, tailored to the different tastes of the clients. Overall, food was delicious and portions were huge. I had a Boston Clam Chowder and a Gulf Grouper as the main. I would usually order a salad, but I didn't this time as each entrée came with a large plate of homemade roasted vegetables and wild rice. The Boston Clam Chowder had real pieces of clams in it. However, it was just lukewarm. My grouper looked great and tasted flavorful, but it was somewhat over-cooked (and therefore not tender), which was unfortunate. My wife had a bowl of Lobster Bisque and an order of Stuffed Flounder that had crabmeat sandwiched in the fish. She absolutely loved her choices. Our daughter had a Charbroiled Walleye and liked it too. Her only disappointment was the garlic bread being hard and dry. Our daughter and I each had a Chardonnay Stags Leap which was good, while my wife had a Virgin Mojito and truly enjoyed it. Surprisingly, the highlight of the night was the slice of tiramisu that our friendly and professional server Greg brought to me! It had a lit candle for my birthday, and Greg teamed up with two other waitresses enthusiastically sang me a happy birthday song! The tiramisu was excellent, creamy and not too sweet. I am not a dessert person but really appreciated this. I have a suggestion for the restaurant: as the portions were so large and each of us brought home half of it, it would have been nice that they make the portion 40% to 50% smaller, and lower the average price of $40 per entrée accordingly. It might help attract more customers. Just my two cents. All in all, I had a lovely birthday dinner at Boston Fish Market. Ambience was good, and service was outstanding. We will certainly return again.

2nd time coming here. First time was two years ago and our food and experience was incredible…read more This time... not so good. Server Hugo wasn't the greatest. My ahi tuna was a tiny overcooked and kinda fishy. Portion was a lot of vegetables which were fine. My husband had halibut which was good, but only a couple pieces of asparagus. Last time he had potatoes and we both got green beans too. Coffee was lukewarm and tasted old When he made the reservation he said it was our anniversary. No mention of that at all either. Disappointed on this visit for the price you pay

Travel ruins you in the best possible way. You come home carrying invisible baggage. Flavors,…read moresteam, noise, late night meals in places that didn't care if you were comfortable, only that you were awake. After that, everything is compared to a memory. That is why Bowl of Fortune matters. Yes, you can get it delivered. And sometimes I do. But this place is meant to be visited. Walk in from an Illinois winter and suddenly there is heat on your face, plates hitting tables, the smell of broth and chili oil hanging in the air like it has nowhere else to be. Food arrives still fighting the laws of physics, steaming, loud, impossible to ignore. You do not just eat it. You remember where you have been. For a few minutes you are not in Wheeling anymore. You are back in that night market, that cramped restaurant, that trip that changed how you think about food forever. This is the place my kids beg for. The place I go when I miss the world. Bowl of Fortune is not about convenience, even if it shows up at your door. It is about reminding you what it feels like to eat something unforgettable.

The restaurant is small, with limited seating, but brightly decorated and immersive on the surf decor. I ordered the fish n chips, and they let me know it would be about 12 minutes, because they make everything fresh. No problema, dude. Beach Boys, surf music and other mellow tunes play overhead while you wait. It wasn't long at all, and I was presented with three (3!!!) crisply battered fish filets on a mound of seasoned shoestring fries. It was hot (prepared to order, remember), and delicious. The fries were awesome as well. I thought it was a little pricey, but the portions were large and I had plenty to take away. My fish was delish -- and I'd be glad to come back and try some of the other combos. The people who worked here were chill and friendly. Good vibrations!

This is a cute little restaurant with a few tables, window seats and seating along the wall. With the weather being nice there are tables outside too. Hubby and I wanted some seafood and we passed by Surf's Up a few times so it's long overdue for us to stop and try the food today. The owner, Lisa, was working behind the counter. She is so sweet and certainly very proud of her restaurant! We asked her for recommendations and she was happy to share some of the top preferred items of guests. She gave us time to look over the menu. I settled on the fried catfish dinner with a side of grits, greens & a roll. Hubby wanted fish and chips with a roll. Lisa told us that everything is made fresh to order so it would be about 15-20 mins. We weren't in any hurry, but we appreciated the heads up and the fact that it was all freshly made. The food arrived crispy and hot and oh so delicious! My catfish was so flakey. The grits and greens were the perfect sides to go with it. Hubs really enjoyed his fish and chips. The fries were so good, we couldn't stop eating them. Lisa also sold us on the fresh bread pudding, but we so full so we had to take it go. Just finished it tonight and it was even more delicious than she described! We will certainly be returning to try the shrimp po' boy and other items on her menu! Plus more bread pudding. Don't pass up this cute little place with delicious fresh seafood and desserts plus friendly service.

Decided to try Pirosmani and SO glad we did . It's located in a strip mall in Wheeling . There are a few bar stools to eat your food there but if you have a big crowd, plan on taking your food to go. The girl in front was very helpful telling us what things are and what they are made of . If things are served hot or cold . We picked out a few things to try and not one of them were bad ! The cheese pie, the two rolled up eggplants , the chicken kabab, corn cakes, the chicken sandwich, and even the fun pops were all delicious . Today is my birthday so I wanted to try something different and new and so happy I did . Another girl came out from the back and chatted with us. Both girls were so sweet and helpful. They informed us the place next door is owned by the same person s, which is another Georgian restaurant, so we will be visiting them next . They gave me this dried fruit and nut log for my birthday for free too. Only thing was they didn't have the cheese and egg "bowl" or the dumplings to eat there they were ready to bring home frozen though . But that wasn't enough to take away a start .

Reminded me of Italy with it's decor and pizza oven. We were one of the two customers seated in the restaurant. The waitress seemed frazzled but she seated us right away and took our orders.

My husband ordered the Burrata Pizza, and to our surprise, it was really more like a Bologna and Mortadella sandwich on a pizza bread. Disappointing!! It was cold and dry. Not good at all.
