Martini Park
Went there for a bachelorette party. We had a really great time there. It was really crowded though. Martinis were excellent but very pricey. I especially loved the pomegranite one.
Cafe 28
Excellent cuban/mexican food. Good food and great drinks. Wait can be long even if you have a reservation. Tried to book a bridal shower and there was a miscommunication as they already had the restaurant booked for the day/time they had previously told me was available. But good atmosphere for dinner and drinks with friends.
Muskie's Hamburgers
This is a small walk up hamburger and fries place. It's very small but great place to take the kids to get burgers and fries to go and eat them at the park across the street on Wolfram.
Bowlero Buffalo Grove
Large establishment with lots of bowling. Not great for large parties that may or may not bowl. Was there for a reunion and kept getting told by staff to get out of their way and to stay on the bowling lanes.
The Fireplace Inn
Awesome ribs!! The inside atmosphere is divided into two sides - one side is a bar and the other is more of a traditional sit down restaurant. The sit down restaurant side has a little bit of an older feel to it and is not as fun. But the ribs are some of the best in the city.
Mia Francesca
Mias is always a good choice. The main restaurant is crowded, andthe upstairs has a quieter atmosphere and is great for private parties. There is a small coach house which is a great place to get a drink while waiting for table. The food is consistently good.
Kid Snips Llc
Great concept. Kids get their haircuts while siting in seats that are cars and jeeps. They get to pick a movie to put in the DVD player while they get a haircut. When they are finished they get to pick a small toy from the treasure chest, pick a lollipop AND they get a balloon. My kids love coming here. But it is expensive and is usually pretty crowded on the weekends. A reservation is recommended.
Beckett's Public House
New pub located near Belmont/Ashland/Lincoln intersection. Large space with nice atmosphere. The food is excellent. Interesting spin on old favorites. Sweet potato fries with a goat cheese fondue, excellent turkey burger, great salads, etc. A little pricey.
Mezza Grilled Wraps & Pitas
Great choice for fresh lunch. The grilled chicken kabob is excellent and includes grilled green peppers and onions. You can see them grilling the meat and know it is made fresh that day. There are so many options for toppings includings lots of different fresh vegetables, hummus, etc. Reasonably priced and fast. Located in Nordstrom food court.
bobtail
Really good homemade ice cream. The best seasonal pumpkin ice cream. It is a small space so it is sometimes best to take it to go. They also offer prepackaged ice cream to take home.
