Its actually the 'Next Door' to Eataco. The drinks are insta-friendly, very cute for pics. I had the lychee drink which was really good with real fruit inside of it. Was at here for a a private party and the good from Eataco was provided, Ive had Eataco before and it's usually really good but a couple of items (elote and quesadilla) were a little bit strong on the salt. The rest of the dishes were good especially if you're a fan of onions!

The space felt really tight, and the atmosphere didn't quite match the vibe I was hoping for. It seemed a bit unkempt, with worn furniture and a general sense of neglect. Definitely not the most comfortable spot to relax--felt cramped and not very inviting. I was not too fond of the service. And to top it all off, the menu prices were pretty steep - $16 for a cocktail. But since I'd already made the trip, I figured I might as well try one anyway. I ordered the ROSE-LY, which was OK. It's made of ketel one rose, fresh lychees and syrup, grapefruit, and Josh rose wine. Honestly, I cannot say it was worth the price.

It was before 6pm so we were able to find a seat. I think they have seats for only 25 people so prepare to stand when it gets busy. Our bartender was Edward and he was really nice. I ordered a Tiramisu Martini and then a Porn Star Martini. They were both good, but I preferred the Porn Star one. We also ordered a Smash Burger, which was actually from Holt's, connected to this bar. That burger was tasty - brioche bun & onions = yum. The chips it came with were crunchy. The Bacon popcorn was good but way too salty for me. Im glad we found this little bar and plan on coming back in the future.

I saw that the bartender had to look up the recipe for our cocktails, but they came out fine. All in all it was a pleasant experience.

When you pull up to the plaza you would think anything of the restaurant but when you go inside it's a fun colorful experience. When we were seated we were brought waters and menus. We took some time to look at the menus but ultimately took our server's suggestions on drinks. I ended up having a virgin Rose Colored Glasses drink and absolutely loved it. The drinks were large and I felt they were worth the price. My husband got an old fashioned. To start we got the cheese curds, and when I tell you these cheese curds still live rent free in my mind I kid you not. They were so good, the cheese was battered in a tempura batter with a truffle cream sauce and it made for such an incredible dish! For our entrees we got the pork chop with the brown butter sauces and bavette with a red wine reduction. The pork chop was great with the brown butter you just gotta make sure you mix it up, and the red wine was a bit too salty for me but it was okay because I ended up loving the steak by itself! For our sides we got the grilled zucchini under the snacks option instead of the sides option because I wanted all the fixings. It was a great choice! The fixings really made and I could eat a plate of that and just be happy (with the cheese curds of course). The wiped potatoes were great as well. Now I was going to pass on dessert because I was SO full already, but twist my arm when you tell me the cookie dough ice cream is a must try. It had real cookie dough chunks on top and bottle and the vanilla ice cream was not boring vanilla, I ate almost half of that bowl and couldn't stop. The chocolate chip cookie dough was house made and it was the perfect blend of sweet and salty that tied the whole ice cream bowl together. Can't recommend that enough as well. All in all, we had a great experience! It was so fun to see so many regulars and so many new folks who came in to dine at the same time as us and we all peeked to see who ordered what before we ordered and got some great recs as you can see! Can't wait to come back to enjoy my favorites and more!

So the first time we were here it was amazing but this time it was subpar at best. Don't know if…read morethey have a new chef or what but the food was not good. Started with the bread and crabcakes and the bread was amazing and definitely fresh but the crabcakes needed more crab and flavor. Basically everything needed more flavor. We also ordered a bottle of wine which our server struggled with and never came over to refill the glasses. Then the entree's; my husband's bolognese was bland and desperately needed at least salt and pepper. Then the real problem was my steak which was supposed to be medium came out well done and then classically when it was recooked came out rare or medium rare if you are being generous. Then the waitress said she would check back and she didn't so I had to get salt myself from the server station which is kinda ridiculous especially when paying $54 for a steak that already has no seasoning which is why they offer free sauces which makes a lot of sense now. When she finally did come back I said it was under but not waiting for it to be overcooked again so reheating it at home with the cold side of mushrooms I ordered WITH my steak. I did talk to the manager after and he was not really helpful or sympathetic and I was really talking to him so in my review I could say well at least management cares but that is not the case here. I gave 2 stars because their drinks are good and the ambiance is nice and the hostess was super friendly and was the star employee after our visit. Also we paid for everything even the cold mushrooms and over/under cooked steak! At minimum also remake my mushrooms or comp them. Would I eat here again hopefully not but it is locationally desirable for me and my in-laws and have lots of GF options so might have to and if I do hopefully they will have made things better.

Located in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel, it may at first seem like only a bar, but they do offer…read moresome good food as well! Not an extremely busy night, but what can you expect at a hotel lobby restaurant located on the outskirts of Chicago. Bartender was really nice and helpful when explaining what was the best options on the menu. Of course he went with the de facto answer of the brioche hamburger, which honestly any hamburger is going to sell me (Minus bad fast food joints). Got it with extra cheese and bacon and might as well kick it up with an extra side of fries. Service was fairly quick, my whole meal took about 15 minutes or less to come out the door. Burger was cooked to a medium rare, so that is always a plus when you get what you order in terms of how well done you want you meat in most restaurants. Fries were your average run of the mill frozen package style, not much taste, but decent enough to be consumed. Overall I'd rate it the following on a scale to 1-5. Keep in mind as well that this hotel is somewhat secluded from other restaurants in the area due to its remoteness. Service - 4 Food - 3.5 Price - 3
