    We ordered takeout and it was surprisingly better than I was expecting! Still warm and tasted like it came right out of the oven. The fries were ehh, I bet they would have been significantly better if we dined in but can't complain. We ordered boneless & traditional wings and they both came out saucey and meaty. Also got the fried pickles with garlic aioli fries, so good. This place was packed packed on a Thursday evening, very surprising and happy for the restaurant! Not sure if a deal was going on or what but there was practically a line out the door of people waiting. There was games, so maybe that was the special occasion or Wings & Rings is just that poppin'. Thank you Wings & Rings, I will be back soon enough. Personal Review: 8.1/10

    I had nothing but an exceptional experience at W&R. Went here for lunch and was welcomed promptly at the front and sat at the bar. The bartender was super friendly, made great recommendations and found a very good balance of chatting but not talking my ear off. The food was outstanding. I had the ghost pepper ranch (traditional) and Korean (smoked). Both were perfectly cooked, had great taste and had good heat. Rings lived up to being in the name of the restaurant too. I am honestly shocked by all the tough reviews as I would rank their wings near the top in the city and had nothing but great service. Perhaps they have really turned things around as I will definitely come back.

    Ordered takeout from here and it was a little disappointed... I know that fried items are best one eaten at the restaurant, but these were the soggiest wings I've ever had! Granted I did get cauliflower wings, and so maybe the vegetable had more liquid in it than chicken, but there was almost no breading on the cauliflower and I felt like I was just eating cauliflower seasoned with a little bit of breading. I love cauliflower so I didn't mind but I did want something a little bit more crunchy. The onion rings were fantastic though! I would be open to trying again maybe eating at the restaurant.

    Meh.. mediocre and expensive I visited Wings and Rings for the first time in years last night. Afterward, I knew exactly why I'd previously stayed away. There are much better dining options worthy of your palette and money in the city than this place. I visited with my family, and between the three of us, we sampled the wings, fries, and chicken tenders. I had boneless buffalo wings and asked for medium (spicy) sauce. Not only were the wings not hot, but they had no taste whatsoever. The same was true for the chicken tenders. It was if they just fried it without seasoning it first. My sister had the lemon pepper chicken wings and drumsticks. The batter made the chicken breading taste good, but her chicken was also flavorless. It was just a complete waste of chicken. My brother ended up taking the boneless wings home to his dogs. I mean, dogs will eat anything, right?! That pretty much sums up our experience. My brother is health conscious, so he ordered broccoli instead of fries. He said even that was better than the chicken. My sister had the potato wedges, and I had regular (skinny) fries. We both thought the fries were okay. I had a mango margarita, and my brother had an expresso martini. My brother is a bartender, and he said the martini wasn't right. It wasn't a true expresso, and he speculated that the drink had been made with Bailey's Irish cream. The margarita was ok, but it tasted like blended fruit juice. I didn't get a buzz from it and wondered if it even had any alcohol in it at all. The atmosphere was lively, and our waiter Ivan was great, but overall, we were disappointed in the experience. The bill was about $96, which was too expensive for three people. We won't be returning anytime soon.

I ordered the bottle of champagne for mimosas with pineapple and orange juice and was pleasantly surprised by the $35 price since we're used to paying twice that back home. The food came out pretty quick and was hot and ready to eat. All of our food was good well and we all enjoyed our dishes. My only takeaway would be if guests ordered bottled water and/or champagne, the waitress should poor them into the glasses for you. From my experience, this is something that I thought was a norm. Overall, great place to eat!

A unique experience, the food was super delicious with a mix of flavors from around the world.

Service was a bit slow. It took 45 mins to get our first dish, which was the halibut. First, just want to comment that the portion size is quite small relative to the price of the dishes. The halibut. This was very delicious. Somehow the blueberry nuoc cham works? The fish was tender and flaky. The sauce was salty and full of umami with a hint of blueberry sweetness. This fish dish made me crave for a bowl of steaming hot bfluffy white rice. The string beans. Unless you are allergic to nuts, this is a must get dish. Perfectly cooked string beans (still crispy but not raw) sautéed with fish sauce vinaigrette was an absolute delight. It's also on the salty side which made me crave rice but it's such a flavor bomb. The cashews provided a contrast in texture but yet complemented the seemingly simple dish. I wish the portions were bigger. The galbi. It's was good but compared to the first 2 dishes, didn't really wow me. The meat was one rib strip (4 rib bones) cut into 4 pieces so it's a rather small portion for the price. The stone fruit slices was a nice pairing in that it provided a sweet and tart contrast to the heavier meat flavor. After trying this dish, I felt I personally prefer the LA galbi marinade flavor and preparation for short ribs. Overall, I'm glad I got to try this place. Would come back for the string beans on a splurge day .

While it was not bad enough to ruin the meal, it lacked the attentiveness and hospitality we would expect from a place like The Duck Inn. The service felt slow and disconnected. We asked for recommendations and our bartender felt like it was a chore to answer. We had to wait to order food and beverage. This took away from the overall experience. That said, the creative menu and the satisfying outcome of the foods/ our order warrants the given stars. The Duck Inn menu is definitely worth adding to your list and trying!!

The waitress had informed us that a single is a double, a double is a triple, etc! Opted for a single with bacon as an add on and it was delectable. The thick pieces of bacon were truly the cherry on top. It comes with a slice of pickle. Additional sides, including fries, are extra.

I planned to dine at Au Cheval for Sunday lunch and unfortunately there weren't any reservations available on Resy for lunchtime when I checked. Of note, Resy charges $2.50 per person to book the reservation which does not go towards the bill. After looping around for parking and finding a metered spot, I checked in at the restaurant shortly after 11:30am and was told I was 28th in line and the host could not quote a wait time due to the inclusion of online reservations. I thought that was a bit odd so I ended up walking around to explore the surrounding businesses. I finally received a text that my table was ready around thirty minutes later. The restaurant itself is not big but gives off an old fashioned vibe which I guess correlated with the type of food served. I ordered a single cheeseburger, a side of thick cut peppered bacon, and a side of French fries. I figured it was more economical to order a side of bacon rather than adding it to my burger so I can eat as much or as little as I wanted. The food came around fifteen minutes later. The burger itself did not look as big on the plate as I expected, although it was apparent how thick the two hamburger patties were. Since everyone was raving about the burger I had high expectations which unfortunately were not met. The burger tasted like a burger found at any average diner across the country. The bacon pieces were thick and flavorful but I don't think they elevated the burger as much as I'd like. Also, I wished there were cheese options rather than offering only American cheese which is probably the cheapest cheese that can be added on a burger. The fries reminded me of In-N-Out fries but the fries at the bottom of the cup were way too salty as if all the salt was added to the bottom of the cup instead of trickling down after being sprinkled on the fries on top. Considering all the hype about Au Cheval and the claims that their cheeseburger is one of the best burgers in the country or world, I was very underwhelmed. If this burger were to represent the Chicago food scene on a national level, it should rank lower than several other major cities in the United States.

After we sat down, our server took her sweet time getting to us and was largely absent the entire visit while the servers for the others tables were attentive and present as I've come to expect. We started with the Crispy Brussels and Burrata Toast which was an amazing and fun combination of flavors textures with the sherry glaze and pickled onions providing a perfect counter to the richness of the cheese. Our second course was the Gage Caesar which we've had before and have enjoyed sharing multiple times, but this time the lettuce was full of grit as if the prep chef did not even bother washing the lettuce. The server never came by to check on us so I had to wave the manager to complain about the salad. The server also never checked to see if we wanted refills on our cocktails so we placed our orders with the manager. The final dish was the venison burger which was perfectly cooked and seasoned if you like venison, which I do so we enjoyed that greatly. The condiments that came with it were perfectly matched to balance the game of the meat and the fries were perfect as usual! The server then FINALLY got more involved with our dinner and was predictably perky and present at the end, something that always irks me when they have been otherwise absent for the meal. The ONLY reason they are getting 3 stars instead of less for this visit was the flavor of the food and the response of the manager in dealing with the lack of service (and the gritty salad). I would give the initial server a zero if I could.

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.
