    Turkey Pesto Mayo Sandwich
    Kyle P.

    You wouldn't think finding a great sub shop would be so difficult. After all, it's just cold cuts, cheese, and bread, right? How can you fail at that? Where other shops fall short, Vinnie's does not. It's all about the bread, you've got to have a sturdy, crusty roll that gets the job done. Check. Then, you've got to have plentiful options, not just a turkey and cheese or an Italian, but some interesting options and playful specials. Check. The toppings have got to be there too, not too heavy or overdone, but just enough to bring the whole thing together. Check, yet again. Oh, and do you like reasonable prices and the sweetest Italian lady you've ever met behind the counter? Then get over to Vinnie's asap!

    Everything about this place is excellent. Great service, friendly, quick and the food is amazing. This is my second sandwich from here and the part that stands out the most about the food is the provolone. Something about that cheese is soooooo good. The lady at the counter is awesome also

    If you like your sandwich bread to be crunchy, crispy, but chewable on the outside and fresh, flavorful, and soft on the inside then Vinnie's is your spot! The bread served fresh sets them apart from many of the other delis and sandwiches in the area. Their meats a quality, cut thin, flavorful, and have a nice texture. The produce is always fresh as well. The ambience is what you would expect for Chicago Deli, and the service is lovely "babe."

    It's a very small location but when there's seating we add minutes to the meter and inhale at least half of our sandwiches. Great for picnics in the city or even to eat in the car. The service is amazing. It's a weeks staple for us

    Blue Door is such a great spot to celebrate a birthday as they have food for just about anyone! We…read moretried their crab cakes to start which were delicious but could use more sauce. The cauliflower steak was delicious (though it was a thick slice of cauliflower so it wasn't so tender) and served with cheesy faro. The fried chicken was bone in chicken and had the perfect crunch and flavor. It's served with tasty mashed potatoes. Lastly we ordered a side of their Mac n cheese to split between the table which I would recommend. If you're celebrating a birthday they offer a complimentary slice of their hummingbird cake which was honestly the best cake I've had in a while. Our server was so sweet and helpful when ordering! The space is also very romantic with low lighting, a smaller intimate dining room, and stunning art.

Our server was alert and conscientious, along with the staff assisting her. We ordered the Deviled Eggs, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Shrimp & Grits (3), & Chicken Sandwich. Deviled eggs were delectable. Both the sandwich and fried chicken were great, but not spectacular. The shrimp and grits fell short for me, but my family enjoyed theirs. Now for the star of the show, Hummingbird Cake. Had I known this cake was so mouthwatering, I would have ordered 4 portions and disregarded my meal entirely. I'm absolutely going back to try the brunch and order a second helping of this cake. Overall 8/10

We bopped in and little to our surprise, it was the best decision we made all day. I got the shawarma bowl with gryo and the garlic sauce fries and wow, everything was to die for. I wish I wasn't just visiting Chicago so this place was more accessible to me everyday. But I fear i'd go broke if this was in my city. This is a great quick lunch option especially if visiting the zoo/park/beach area. Everything felt light, fresh, and healthy. It felt a little pricey for me but it's Chicago so it may be normal so take that as you will but for how delicious and the amazing ingredients it's worth it. Especially that dang pink sauce on the fries....you've got to get the garlic sauce fries if you check this place out. Some of the most beautiful and tasty fries i've ever had! The atmosphere is cute and bright too. A happy place to eat lunch and hang out in! I'm not from Chicago so i'm already missing this place! Add to your "must try" list for sure!

From the food and ambiance to the consistently outstanding service, everything is truly top-tier. This visit was just as exceptional as every one before it. We shared the Sweet Corn Hummus, Spicy Whipped Feta, Brussels Sprouts, Crispy Wild Mushrooms, Crispy Potatoes, Grilled Chicken, and the Lamb & Beef Kefta. Every single dish was outstanding. I wish I had taken more photos, but we were too busy enjoying the food as it arrived at the table! For drinks, my sister loved the Strawberry Rose Paloma, and I enjoyed a glass of Kir-Yianni Sparkling Rosé, which paired beautifully with the meal. The warm, seasoned pita deserves its own recognition. It's soft, pillowy, and absolutely addictive. Honestly, it's hard not to fill up on the pita and spreads before the rest of the meal even arrives. Our server struck the perfect balance between friendly and attentive, without ever feeling intrusive. We usually make room for dessert, but we were completely stuffed this time. In the past, though, I've loved both the Warm Sticky Date Cake and the Frozen Greek Yogurt, and I'd recommend either without hesitation. I was secretly hoping for a tiny scoop of frozen yogurt as a birthday surprise, but my server didn't mention it and I didn't remind him of the celebration (and honestly, we were way too full anyway ). As a huge Top Chef fan, it's always special dining at Chef CJ Jacobson's restaurant. I had the opportunity to meet him during my very first visit to Ema, and he was incredibly gracious. His creativity and attention to flavor are evident in every dish. Ema continues to set the standard for what a great dining experience should be. It's the restaurant I recommend most often when people ask me where to eat in Chicago, and it remains my go-to place for special celebrations. I can't wait to come back again soon! #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFood #YelpEliteSquad PS: the hotel next door no longer provides parking validation.
