I'll never think that way again. I ordered porkchops. Came with a sauce of peaches. Also garlic and spinach mashed potatoes. Out of this world fantastic. The B team hit it out of the park. Good job boys. Best dinner I have had in awhile..

Found this restaurant in Park Ridge and got us some good lunch. It has a bit of classiness but…read morestill is casual it seems. Pennyville Station is a crowded place on weekends. A place known for drinks and okay food. The prices are kind of high. Coming in here it was crowded. It's one of the popular places to go around here. They're known for the brunch on Sundays. A lot of the same menu items are still available however. The menu is mostly meaty. It's $8 for several cocktails at happy hour. We only got a couple of these. Of course the women here like the Bloody Marys and mimosas. There's a pretty great selection of other things. I got the Lalo Pomegranate Margarita. This had a pretty sour and sweet taste. It's about $6 for several appetizers at happy hour. We got the Vegetable Potstickers. A lot more expensive for the entrees. There's fish tacos and wagyu burgers among the fancier stuff you can get. Gets a pretty big crowd. It's one of the many restaurants around here. This is conveniently located across the street from the Metra station.

Great food and great service Strongly recommended…read more We definitely will be back Fish was excellent

It has been decades since I ate at Mykonos Greek Restaurant . It has been a neighborhood restaurant…read morefor almost 40 years. When I walked in I immediately notice it was renovated and it is bright and modern and very Mediterranean. I went for lunch and it was not very crowded. Service was attentive . We each had salads, I had the Greek Salad with chicken. It is prepared traditional style with lettuce as its base. It has tomatoes, olives and pieces of feta cheese, topped with a generous amount of chicken. Warm bread was served with the salads. The menu offers a variety of Greek dishes .

Baked Clams - we nicely breaded taste good Pino Puffs - Shredded zucchini and 3 cheeses formed into a light puffy ball, served with besciamella sauce- was good Potatoe Sausage Soup - ok...it wasn't as creamy as I thought it should be. It was ok Beet Salad, too much dressing. It was ok. Country Rigatoni- Tomato cream sauce with grilled chicken, sliced Italian sausage, peas & fresh mozzarella - nothing to rave about. Basic pasta with sauce Tiramisu - ok. Needed a little more flavor Bread Pudding - ok too Nothing really stuck out. It was ok food, I can't say it was great.

I stopped at Elia Cafe after my workout at the gym next door during my trip to the Chicago area…read more The space has lots of natural lighting, and even though I went without a reservation, I was able to be seated quickly. Alondra my server was friendly and attentive, and gave great recommendations on my dishes. Since I just had had an intensive workout, I was craving protein. They have a very delicious wagyu (medium well) and egg dish with fruits & fresh greens I really enjoyed, and powered me thru my post-workout as well as my afternoon flight back from O'Hare. The complementary sourdough toast that came with the wagyu. The date french toast I ordered dessert - yummy and filling, served with fresh berries, was a much enjoyed sweet tooth plus I had enough to go.

I've been curious about the new hot spot in Park Ridge, and today the stars lined up for us to…read morevisit. The place is hopping for sure. It is an incredibly inviting space; very clean, very bright, and I love all the plants decorating the place to give it a bath of warmth when it could otherwise be cold and sterile. It was just me and my kiddo and we ordered a lot. She is a huge fan of pancakes so that's what she got, and I got the fig frittata. We also got the havarti hash, because it sounded really good, and it didn't disappoint. I'm not sure if I've had a frittata or omelet that is like this, with such a strong sweet profile with the savory. It was interesting. I added sausage too and it was pretty good. The hot chocolate was tasty, and they have quite a few beverage options from mimosas to juices to lattes as you might expect. I'd thought this maybe was just a juice bar with some pastries but I was mistaken. They have a full, albeit small, menu, with impressive dishes and beautiful presentation. They also have had several fundraisers in the short time they've been open. Parking is good. The parking lot *beneath* the surface lot is actually public parking, not just for the condos as I once thought. There's also public parking across the street by the library and street parking along the Northwest Highway side of the restaurant.

Wow! If you're looking for a restaurant that can satisfy a group with different tastes, Patina Wine…read moreBar is an excellent choice. Their thoughtfully curated menu may be compact, but it offers a great variety--from fresh salads and wood-fired pizzas to steaks, seafood, and chicken dishes--so there's truly something for everyone. The drink menu is just as fun, with creative cocktails named after iconic songs and music titles, adding a unique touch to the experience. We started with oysters (special), pear arugula salad then ordered main course- I walleye (special) and shrimp risotto. Everything was excellent. It's worth mentioning that the portions are generous enough to leave you satisfied without being overwhelming, making it easy to enjoy an appetizer, entrée, or dessert without feeling overstuffed.

We've heard very good things about Patina and we're excited to try it tonight. As soon as we…read morewalked in the staff was very kind and attentive. We love the ambiance of the restaurant. It's very peaceful, romantic and a calm atmosphere. All of the food was delicious. The plating is so attractive! The dishes have great flavor but are healthier options. The portion sizes were perfect for what we desired. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best branzino I've ever had. The skin was crunchy and delicious. But the fish was not dry at all! There's nothing better than a juicy branzino fish and chef Jose nailed it! Matching with the sauce and beans was so much better than any other veggies or starch. The octopus was also cooked to perfection. The flavor and temperature was just right. Not too hot and such a great texture. We don't always order desserts but we had to see every course of the menu. We decided to go with a lava cake and it did not disappoint. It had that perfect contrast of hot and cold but it's served with gelato which gives it a nice touch of texture compared to standard ice cream. Chef Jose came out and introduced himself. We came in because we were enticed by a beef tartare that was on their menu in the past. We're hoping he brings it back on a special sometime soon. He said to give him a call and he'll try to accommodate whenever possible to make his customers happy. What an amazing restaurant. We cannot wait to come back and see what's new. Thank you for an amazing dinner and night!

I ordered the short rib with polenta and the food was super tender and decadent. We all ordered drinks which was really good too. I tried some of my friends pizza and they make perfectly crispy in their oven. Service was attentive.
