    Jay trio

    Byob establishment: As you first walk in it gives me basement vibes. That can be a good/bad thing. The place is extra small. There is no place to wait. The high top chairs are not made for people with hips or larger butts. They are uncomfortable. My friend and I were sat near the restroom with the heat blowing right on us. Not complaining about the warmth of the place but a bit bothersome with it blowing directly on you. Teiana was nice and came in a timely manner. We had no issue with service. The rating is strictly on the food. The menu doesn't state it but the entrees do come with 2 sides. We shared the Jay's trio. My friend ordered an a la carte lobster and I added a side of Mac and cheese. We ordered the lamb chops med well. They came out well done and a bit tough to cut. The salmon was bland. Unbeknownst to us, they poured an Alfredo sauce over the mash potatoes. The sauce was good but would've preferred on the side. The shrimp was seasoned well. The Mac and cheese was 3/5. We tried the peach cobbler and definitely do not recommend because when did jelly,compote, or whatever it was start getting used in cobbler??

    5 Lamb Chops . Steak macaroni, yams, collard greens, and oysters.

    Me and my husband went up here for a little date night. It was his decision to pick and might I say this place was wonderful. It's very small but the food is so big. The service was so good. The manager was coming over to check on us the recommendations that she gave us for food was good and the oysters OMG, the oysters Was so good.

    This was my first visit to Truffle, and unfortunately, perhaps my last. It was on my radar as I have dedicated most of my dining out to explore Chicago's best Black owned restaurants and bars. It was Truffle's turn to dazzle me and my partner with amazing southern-inspired cuisine. But my real-life experience was less than amazing. I will give Truffle 2 stars: one for excellent friendly service and another for presentation. Upon entering the establishment, you'll find it quite cramped with no immediate place to wait for your table. We opted to sit at the bar. BYOB, so no fancy cocktail offerings. The bar seats were quite uncomfortable as was the frigid temperature we endured being next to the large windows. Now back to the food. After scanning their offerings, I was drawn to the absurd and astounding price of 6 whole chicken wings at the cost of $30!!!! After looking at the price points on the entire menu, consensus between my partner and I that these prices would be indicative of a fine dining experience on Chicago's Gold Coast somewhere. I shook my head, then we ordered a side of greens, and one order of Buffalo shrimp (5 medium sized shrimp) which came with overly salted fries. We sent back the fries and were accommodated with unsalted fries. Nothing else was ordered. After the tax, tip and gratuity for two items (an appetizer and 1 side), the bill totaled to just over thirty one dollars! Needless to say, Truffle, thanks but no thanks.

    Decided to slide here on a Saturday afternoon and overall this place was pretty cool for the most part! I ordered Red Snapper dinner with Mac and cheese and Collard Greens! Red snapper was pretty good and so was the Mac and cheese!! The greens were a lil too spicy and salty that was the only bad part! I liked the fact that this place is byob and they serve complimentary mimosas! The service was pretty cool and the food didn't take long at all. I will definitely be back!!!

    Went while visiting friends in the city, ended up inviting our family that were also in town. This venue is new, no one had tried it. They're trying to be upscale but fell flat. Chairs are wobbly & hazardous. Our server was so unprofessional it was awkward. She literally sat down at a hightop behind our table to take our order. Prices are too high. Custom lemonade were a joke for $9. I ordered a pineapple lemonade & it was horrible. Not sure how you mess up lemonade. Others were disappointed with their but I was only one to send mine back. Food choices were made were half & half. They ran out of fish so only one guest could order. Out of two salmon orders, one was good & the other must have been frozen. It came out a long time after everyone else's & was not prepared or presented the same, didn't get photo. Greens were inedible and way too salty. Egg rolls, Sweet potatoes & Macaroni & cheese were delicious. I stayed safe with shrimp & my husband enjoyed his jersey pasta dish. 20% Gratuity is too much for the basic service we were given. But we were a table of 6 so we understand the hike. I would not return.

    Really good food! Everything was delicious, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Taya's service was impeccable! The place is kinda small but the flavors were really on point.

    I love Black-owned businesses My sister and I just finished church and were looking for a place to get something to eat. This new restaurant called Truffle was suggested, and it just so happened to be in the area I used to live in, so I was excited to try it out. The location is a nice size, almost Café style. The interior is sleek black with tables for two, but it can easily be put together if you have a larger group. They have a small bar, and the restroom is clean. They had one staff who was very accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. The prices were decent, not too expensive. My sister got the salmon sliders, which she enjoyed. I got the chicken and French toast with a side of breakfast potatoes and eggs, which were good. The waiter asked me if I wanted strawberries on my French toast, which I was happy to accept; I would note that it was strawberry jam and not strawberries. Another interesting note was that they did not have ketchup or coffee, but they did have orange juice, hot sauce, and ranch. If ever in the future, I would suggest they add coffee to their menu. It is a trendy item, as is ketchup. All the food was seasoned very well, and I even met the chef. It was a very nice first experience. I would try out Truffle again, and I genuinely hope this business does well. Try Truffle if you're in the area and would like something different in Pilsen. On the first experience, solid 3 1/2 out of 5

    I ordered DoorDash and got the chicken Alfredo with fried chicken. It came with a piece of bread and everything was delicious ! Super crispy chicken and well flavored Alfredo. HUGE portion !

    The food was Awesome ad the service was Amazing. The Ambiance was off the chain . And the young man that was seating us make it a special day for my sister birthday.

They also had live entertainment, which made the vibe even better. Customer service was just okay, but I would still recommend it.

Because it was a busy holiday we had a reservation made for 1:30 pm, and of course my friend group was running a little late but they were so friendly and accommodating. There was a 90 minute time limit to eat due to how busy the day was, but they were so kind to start the clock after everyone in our party showed up. Now for the good stuff! The food? Phenomenal! On the menu they have a special called the Grand Tasting where you can get 3 sampler entrees and a free glass of champagne or wine (red or white), all for $69. Everyone in my group decided to get this deal so we could all sample one another's food. I ordered the Tuffle Lobster Mac and Cheese, The Carolina Creamy Shrimp and Grits, and the Sicilian Sriracha Chicken Parmigiana. Everything was fantastic, so incredibly delicious. For the entrees to be samples they were a pretty decent size. The shrimp and grits and the Mac and cheese were absolutely perfect 10/10. I wish there was a location in the suburbs I would go here all the time! Huge thank you to the staff for their great hospitality. I almost forgot to mention that this place has live music, which definitely helps create an enjoyable vibe while you're dining. This place is a must try!!

On a random Thursday, my business partner and I decided to grab lunch/happy hour to catch up. I specifically wanted to support a Black-owned business, and she instantly said, "Soul Vibez." As a frequent TikTok viewer, I was excited to finally try it. We arrived right when they opened at 1 PM and were seated in a small cozy booth in the back. Our server came over cheerful and welcoming, asking if we'd had a chance to look at the menu. I told her it was my first time, and she smiled even bigger, sharing all her favorite drinks and how to get the best value. We decided on a tequila flight (blueberry, leche, and strawberry). She headed straight to the bar to make them herself and when I tell you EVERY drink was strong, fresh, and flavorful... I loved it! My business partner then whispered, "You know she's the owner, right?" I said, "No way!" She was so kind, down-to-earth, and personable. When she came back, she said, "Let's start with some appetizers," and recommended her favorites. We went with the deviled eggs with lobster bites and the jerk chicken egg rolls and they did NOT disappoint. Every bite was fresh and delicious. For our entrees, she again highlighted the top sellers and her personal favorites. We ordered the blackened catfish and the stuffed salmon. It didn't take long to come out, and when it did, it was beautifully presented and piping hot. Everything tasted incredible, and the service was consistent, fast, and genuine. The fact that the owner was our server made the experience even more special. I would've never known if my business partner hadn't told me. When we acknowledged it, she just smiled bright and said, "Thank you so much for being here and choosing us." I immediately replied, "See you soon, sis!" I will definitely be back. Y'all go check them out you won't be disappointed!

I've traveled a time or two to a couple of spots in Chicago to support; only to be welcomed to a closed sign. So, Cleo's THANK YOU for blessing me with your service and love for food. It made my birthday, day trip that much better. Now, where do I start. Well, I called to make sure that they were open. I wanted to place my order via phone, but was instructed to place it via their website. The website was easy to navigate and updated. The time given for pickup was pretty much exact. I may even say that it was ready 5-10 minutes before. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. However, depending on when you go, there's a small lot across the street where you can park. Also, you can dine inside, however, depending on how busy, you may or may not have a spot. I lucked up and was able to dine in. Which made my experience better because I was able to take my food out, examine and get comfortable. All food is made to order. That is a huge plus!!!! Food was packaged right and sealed tight. I tried the Float & Fly which consisted of 3 pcs of catfish fillets and 3 fried chicken wings. I tried the green beans, Mac n cheese and pineapple candied sweet potatoes and pineapple cheesecake for a treat. Oh, let me not forget the Purple Rain drink. The catfish & wings were well seasoned and fried to perfection. If I had to choose between the two, wings for the WIN!!! The greens beans had a bit of a kick to them. So much that I followed up with some Mac and sweet potatoes. Ha! The Mac was cheesy and kinda creamy. Great texture. The sweet potatoes were different with the pineapples. The pineapples gave a little twist, but still delivering your childhood memory of sweet potatoes that grandma used to make. Desserts are limited; cheesecake or brownie. The cheesecake was my least favorite thing. I either want peach cobbler or cheesecake; not them being married. Ha! I was happy and pleased with how clean the inside was and how organized it was as well. I like an open kitchen concept. I'll definitely be returning when in Chicago.

The muffin was soft and moist. However, layering a bunch of butter on top and calling is 24K muffin is a great marketing ploy. Reminded me of a cupcake. The green beans were ok. The catfish again had no crunch. They were also on the thin side. Could mistake it as tilapia if not for the taste. Mac and cheese with crap meat was star. For $20 you get a good size bowl. Real cheesy and noodle were done right. You also get a generous portion of crab meat onto top. Overall, I might a one and done customer.
