On mother's day weekend We walked in around 12:30 pm and were immediately seated on the patio, surrounded by beautiful purple tulips, it was the perfect setting.

Don't miss the crème brûlée it was perfectly done and full of flavor. I'll definitely be coming back. A must-visit spot for brunch lovers! Thank you Jake

This is a new and much needed business In the area. The Cage is an indoor baseball/softball…read moretraining facility in Portage Park, that helps kids with pitching, hitting and fielding as well as physical fitness. Jesus and Jason really know what they are doing and they both work hard to give all players what the skills they need to succeed in the sport. There is decent amount of space for a place within the city and the rates are very reasonable. They make the experience not only rewarding but fun for the players they work with, and you can really see the difference in the kids they work with. Great place with great people. I'd you are lo ok I go for a place to get some swings in on the northwest side definitely give this place a look.

An indoor sports facility that is so much bigger than you think it is from the entrance. There are…read morefields to play soccer, dodgeball or kickball along with a full-size basketball court, golf simulators, batting cages (nets) and a weight room. There are also probably three or four businesses operating within. I was here for HotShots kids program where the kids play multiple sports in one day. The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. There is also a parents lounge (Glass) area to do work if needed with coffee and wifi. The entrance is on the back side of this enormous building, which is a little confusing but once you figure it out, there is plenty of parking. This was an epic find for us for the hot summer.

It's open almost every day of the week which is great. It's in this weird little basement which is awesome and hilarious, very Chicago. I've been a few times now and for the most part people are welcoming. The owner Ardy is pretty hard-core with the rules, but is known to be a good teacher. Text message Ardy at 312 287 9852 earlier in the day you want to come by and then call that number when you get there and they'll let you in. It's $10 each time you come, but you can play all night (6-10 pm) if there is a free table and someone to play you. There are usually 5-8 people there each night (in my limited experience).

I've been playing indoor volleyball with this sports league for several years now. I find this…read moreleague to be a little more organized than CMSA. The games are mostly at Center on Halsted, but if there are too many teams in a season there's overflow courts at secondary locations (we've had to play at Inter-American Magnet School and Welles Park in the past). I started out not knowing anything about volleyball, but there are a handful of people willing to help you learn and build skills. Sometimes your team may be offered a mentor if you ask. AAC also offers open gym sessions on Saturday mornings (fall/winter/spring). Games are on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights. Dues and team fees are certainly lower than CMSA. There are changing lockers on the 3rd floor by the courts. The only thing that I might comment on is that the rules for this league may vary a bit from other leagues or official NCAA rules. But that it caters to player safety and the venue (there's long nets separating the courts so it mitigates interference). But I will say this - the organizers are pretty prompt in responding to and addressing any of your concerns. This league also offers Beach Volleyball on Monday nights (at Montrose Beach) - it's less crowded than the Friday night league.
