BLUF: Dine-in prices and take-out only! Gluten Free…read more Food (1/5): The lemon poppyseed donut was their only redeeming item. The spicy chicken sandwich $21 was extremely soggy and chewy, and their "spicy" part is just hot sauce. It had no flavor. It was such a disappointment. And the "side salad" wow. ok. drowned in vinaigrette. The Wheat's End Skillet $22 was mid. Not spicy, bread wasn't good, and their veggies were mush. Service (1/5): There was a guy and a girl working and the girl was on coffee duty, while the guy was just taking orders and talking about lotion and soft hands. It was so weird. Ambiance (2/5): At least there's like 3 seats to sit on while you wait for your food. Other than that, it's just an "order, wait 25 mins, and take your soggy food home" place. They are a gluten free place too. Everything is put into Styrofoam take-out boxes. The prices are dine-in prices for soggy, flavorless food. I understand gluten free ingredients are expensive, but $22 for a skillet where 3 (eggs, bacon, and veggies) out of the 4 items (eggs, bacon, veggies, and bread) are already naturally gluten free is disappointing. I felt ripped off. @meni - Thanks for the comment! Cute business name! ;)

My gluten free heaven! This has been a mainstay since they had their original location with a…read moredine-in option. They are now located near Clark and Diversey (in Lakeview still) and carry-out only. There is street parking and is located by plenty of restaurants, bars, and other shops. When waiting for your order, there are some window seats to hang out in. Interior is very clean and organized. Staff super super nice and helpful. I got a latte and the smashed avocado toast with a poached egg. It came with a side salad. It was all VERY good. The toast was perfection - can't believe it was gluten-free. I highly recommend any of their items - you won't be disappointed.

It's a mom-and-pops shop through and through- you'll see homely decor, a simple but well done menu, and people from all walks of life coming together over delicious food. The staff was warm and attentive throughout the meal and brought out delicious complimentary french bread. It's pretty cool that although the restaurant doesn't serve alcohol, staff from the adjacent bar came around every so often and took orders. For appetizers, we started with the feta and olive appetizers. They were good, but I'd probably order something a little more unique next time. I opted for the chicken kalamata dinner for the main event, which came with more french bread and a salad. The salad came out first, and it was pretty simple with minimal dressing. I wished there had been more variety in produce and something besides iceberg lettuce for greens. I'd recommend getting some feta on the side to add some flavor. The chicken, however, was absolutely outstanding. It was super tender, seasoned beautifully with za'atar, and brined in vinegar (I think). The za'atar seasoned french fries underneath were extra crispy and perfectly soaked up the extra sauce from the chicken. For the price, this place is a steal- you really can't beat the quantity and quality of food that you get. Overall, a great experience- I definitely recommend making a stop if you're in the area!

Very large space with different areas to kickback and chill, both indoor and outdoor spaces available. I particularly loved the Airstream conversion and couch area! Perfect for small to large groups!

Nachos, pizza, Caesar salad wrap, club sandwich, and burgers were all on our shared menu! Everything was pretty tasty and paired well with the creative cocktails and draft beer we ordered!

I started with the Italian Snack which I have to say was very fun and unique. Its base is salt and vinegar chips and topped with Parmesan cheese, cupped pepperoni and hot peppercinis. It was a tasty mix and the truffle dipping sauce was a perfect add. I also sampled the charcuterie board which had a fine selection of salamis, blue cheese, Brie and a mix of dipping options. Perfect for two people. Service and ambiance was exceptional. The bartenders were super attentive and friendly, even on a busy afternoon. The vibe is always fun at Homeslice and they have a great patio for nice weather days.

After a week of juicing and water only, I was more than ready for my first solid meal. I came…read moreacross Elephant + Vine, a vegan comfort/fast food spot at 2315 N. Lincoln Ave., and between the menu and the name (yes, the elephant caught my attention), I knew I had to check it out. There's plenty of street parking in the area, I went on a Sunday, so meters were free. The interior is bright, green, and inviting, with lots of seating and great natural light coming in from the front windows. There's also outdoor seating, but it was a bit too cold the day we went, so we stayed inside. Service is counter-style, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. It's fairly simple, but still fun and satisfying. I ordered an Impossible burger, tater tots, and a strawberry almond milk smoothie. My friend got fries, so I was able to try both. After over 40 days without fried food, I was especially excited for the tots and they did not disappoint. Overall, the food was good and solid across the board. Nothing that completely blew me away, but definitely satisfying. If you're vegan or vegetarian and craving a classic burger experience, this is a great option. The smoothie was good as well, though I personally prefer fruit-forward smoothies with lighter juices, so the almond milk base wasn't quite my favorite, but it still complemented the meal nicely. Overall, if you're looking for a casual sit-down spot with a cute atmosphere and a solid Impossible burger at a reasonable price, Elephant + Vine is a great choice. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Screaming crying throwing up. This place is AMAZING…read more I've heard great things before trying out DeNucci's so I already had high hopes, and they still delivered. From the ambiance to the service to the food, eveything was a 10/10. We had the chicken piccata, vodka pasta, and bruschetta. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and quality. The portions were great - not small at all and not huge. With these 3 dishes split amongst 2 people, we were full after dinner. I recommend this place for birthdays too - they had Happy Birthday printed on the menu with the birthday boy's name. We also got mini glasses of wine and a birthday scoop of delicious pistachio ice cream with a candle at the end. So sweet!!! Our server was attentive and kind as well. Highlyyyyyy recommend this place!

The pours seemed noticeably light, so I politely mentioned it to our waitress. Instead of checking with the bartender or trying to make it right, she insisted it was a full 5-ounce pour and dismissed my concern. I've worked in the restaurant business, and I know how important it is to make customers feel heard. A small top-off or even an effort to address my concern would have completely changed my impression. After my visit, I happened to meet someone who said they had experienced the same thing with the wine pours on a previous visit. Whether that's a coincidence or not, it certainly made me wonder. It's a shame because I enjoyed the food, but the way this was handled makes me question whether I'll return.

He provided so much knowledge of the menu and recommended certain items to enhance the meal. He also suggested items to try on a next visit. There will definitely be a next visit. Fancy, picture perfect mocktails just might fool an onlooker. The drinks were fresh, fruity a little spicy and alcohol free. Please grab the jalapeño cornbread. It's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy with corn kernels and sliced peppers topped with a finishing salt. Just perfect. The deviled eggs were so tasty that I just know someone's Big Momma is in that kitchen! Next visit I'm looking for her. My wagyu steak taco platter was outstanding. Usually, there is some part of a platter I don't care for. Not this time. I can tell the tender meat was marinated as there was flavor coming through each bite. The sautéed peppers and onions added even more flavor. Served with warm, rolled corn tortillas, sour cream, cheese and guacamole to top it off. In the center was perfectly cooked cilantro rice and creamy black beans. Couldn't eat it all, but it made a nice lunch for the next day. I suggest you do NOT leave the restaurant without stopping by the Cookie Bar for a sweet treat. I grabbed cookies; cherry pie, s'more's, lemon and the viral tequila sunrise which you much be twenty-one to purchase. Everything was amazing at Summer House. Next time I think I want to try their burger, Matt said it's good!
