Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Chicago

Alex L. • May 28, 2021Amazing taste of coffee and delicious latte. Freshly made food has been served. Good place, nice environment. People should try their Chocolate croissant and banana breads slices are super delicious.

ben m. • April 24, 2017Sit outside if you can, but inside is great too. Can get crowded, but they make a solid cocktail and the beer is usually interesting.

J.R. R. • June 26, 2021Swanky club vibes inside but a nice patio, too (just watch out for rain drops). Wise selections include cauliflower, beets, lamb, Burrata pizza, & carbonara. Rosemary Gimlet might be the best cocktail

Cynthia G. • March 18, 2023Filipino breakfast (combo) the longaniza is great but the tocino is the best I’ve ever had. The Ube latte and the Ube and huckleberry basque cake are also wonderful.

Michael G. • January 6, 2013I have dreams about the PB&L, it is that good. Pickles are amazing

Dana T. • March 30, 2014Come in for a fresh Caprese Sub (add roasted red peppers) but also leave with house made Barese Sausage to fry up or grill out and authentic dried Italian Sausage to simply snack on.

Lauren D. • February 20, 2019Sub sandwiches are made to order. Fresh bread. Quality meats. I have tried: Italian, roast beef (which is a hot sandwich), meatball, turkey and ham. Get the 9 inch (not 6). Eccellente prezzo!

Janell R. • May 8, 2018The ice cream and the flavors were unique and rich! Nice atmosphere filled with the sweet smell of ice cream,fresh waffle cones and fun!

David B. • March 3, 2017Peanut Butter Blowout Concrete!!! YES! Chocolate & Vanilla always available. Third (and sometimes fourth!) flavor rotates every few weeks. Love their custard! Candies and chocolates are good, too! 😁

Foram D. • September 21, 2020The dips and hummus are delicious!!

Marie L. • May 30, 2023Filet mignon cooked to perfection and excellent sides, order the steamed broccoli. Decor and music are a mood.
