It was our first time trying Salad House in Lakeview and we were really happy we took the drives…read morethere. The salads were super flavorful and delish, everything tasted fresh, and the service was quick. Love that the food is made to order too. One thing I'd suggest... order one of the Specialty Salads and just add extra ingredients if you want more. Doing the "Make Your Own" option can end up costing a lot more. Definitely coming back again!

Had a really nice experience at Salad House overall. The staff was genuinely friendly and…read morewelcoming, which immediately made the visit feel pleasant. The restaurant itself was very clean, bright, and well-maintained, and the space just felt fresh and inviting. We tried a mix of dishes including the Green Goddess Salad, Thai Peanut Salad, Greek Salad, Roasted Vegetables Salad, and the Santa Fe Wrap. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were great for a meal that feels light but still filling. The Green Goddess dressing was honestly the standout for me, super creamy, flavorful, and so good. Overall, such a solid option when you are craving something fresh and lighter. Definitely a place I would come back to.

It seems like they were short staffed because I only saw two people working the line. With the understanding of how busy it was, I wasn't too pressed about timing. I ordered the Greek salad and added grilled chicken. It was really tasty and if I found myself in the neighborhood again feeling a salad, I would come back.

Something happened between photos of sizable round bowls overflowing with gorgeous salads and the…read moretiny lunchables-size box of boring salad bits and chicken sold as "Mezza Crunch." Nothing was crunchy or made me feel the price was worth the nearly $15 I paid. The word mezza does mean small bites, but this is ridiculous. I'm looking around at other diners and what they're eating, and yeah...I got fooled big time. They need photos by each meal so I can decide just how tragic their little salads are for the amount of money they want for each. Nice clean place, though.

It's got the same old booths and the same old diner counter and the same old neon sign on the back wall. I got the crispy spicy chicken sandwich and my friend got the chicken fried steak. We went on a Tuesday and they do half off wings, so we got bbq wings. Everything was awesome. The sweet potato fries were really good. The sandwich was good. The steak was great. The wings were crispy and the sauce was delicious. On the way out I got the cookie dough peanut butter shake to go because honestly, you have to. So glad to visit this local treasure again. I'll be back!

We went in for a Saturday or Sunday brunch and were able to walk in. The service was overall friendly and fast. The French omelet was heavenly. I am usually not an omelette person generally prefer a regular fried egg because I find the homogenous mixed egg to be a bit boring but with the filling inside this was a perfect balance of taste. I didn't get to take a pic to accompany it but the potatoes were also delicious. I can't wait to revisit

I got the blueberry maple latte and it was delicious. On the sweeter side so keep that in mind. I would reorder every day if I could. For food, I ordered the Monte Cristo. This is not really a traditional Monte Cristo. They made the sandwich with bread that was a little too thick and added Dijon mustard. The mustard was all I could taste even after smothering it in the maple syrup they give you (they did not add the fruit jam that is usual for the Monte Cristo).

A friend and I were hanging out around Lakeview on an early Saturday afternoon when we stumbled…read moreupon Wood. We saw that the patio was quite busy, so we decided to give it a try. We were seated quite promptly. The patio was very pleasant. I will say, the menu was quite limited at this time. I ordered Wood's Caesar Salad; charred cauliflower, Publican Quality Bread croutons, and parmesan tossed in a lemon vinaigrette - caesar dressing. First off, the salad was very good. It is under the shared and small plates section of the menu. I think the word tiny would be more fitting. I asked my waitress if it were possible to get a protein on the side, and she only offered me bacon. I do not eat pork, so that was a bit of a bummer. I also ordered an espresso martini, which is my go to drink. Theirs was okay; it was a basic espresso martini, nothing special.

I am so surprised by the consistently high reviews here. My friend and I came to grab a weeknight…read moredinner and we were so excited to get Korean food. We ordered a seafood soup, seafood pancake, and a salmon crunch roll. We quickly realized that this was an atypical Korean restaurant experience as we did not receive banchan and there were not many traditional options on the menu. I think that should've been our cue to go, but we stayed and were very disappointed. The service was extremely slow. We had to ask multiple times when it was coming, and when the food finally came out, it was underseasoned and the texture was very off. The seafood pancake tasted deep fried and had chunks of imitation crab. It had the texture of an unrisen focaccia. The soup was tasteless, and the salmon roll was drenched in mayo and eel sauce. They also gave us a "special" hot sauce that tasted like just a mix of sriracha and Tabasco. Small highlights: the ambiance was nice; it seemed clean. Waiter was nice enough. I hate giving bad reviews, but this was quite a shocking meal.

We get to the venue and they were scrambling to figure out where to seat us and offered outdoors ??? When we bought $80 tickets to a show. After the initial confusion, the ladies doing the show and the staff's attentiveness to keeping our mimosas full semi made up for the hiccup. The food was tasty, I had the breakfast calzone. It could've used more filling inside but the flavor was there. My partner got the chilaquiles and also enjoyed it, so much that she finished it all (which doesn't happen often). The cranberry nut bread was sad and dry. A We ended up having to pay gratuity along with the tickets. Receipt attached. It ended up being super pricey, but it was market days and all of halstead was marked up for profit (understandable).
