Our company hired Valet parking 1991 for an annual trade show at our…read moreoffice on 01/19/2024. My manager initially had not wanted to make the investment for valet services (back in December), but two days before the event, (as dangerous was forecasted), management decided hiring Valet parking 1991 was necessary. Jose Brito was very responsive. In December, he returned my call promptly and submitted a quote within days. He was equally responsive two days before the event. Their service was impeccable. The drives were punctual, even in the inclement weather, their uniforms were clean and they were immensely polite and professional. They even helped some of our guests in with their packages (above and beyond). We are extremely grateful that Mr. Brito was able to accommodate us on very short notice. I would hire in the future and feel confident recommending their services. Top Notch!

I had a very poor experience with Heat Valet Parking Services…read more After leaving my vehicle with valet, it was returned with clear rim damage that was not present beforehand. Shortly after, I also discovered tire sidewall damage and required a tire replacement and alignment, costing me over $420 out of pocket, with additional wheel repair still needed. I documented the condition immediately and provided photos and receipts. Despite this, the company denied responsibility and refused to provide insurance information or properly investigate the situation. The valet attendant was also unprofessional and dismissive when I brought the issue up, and I was given inconsistent information about escalation and management involvement. This experience has been frustrating and disappointing. I would strongly recommend taking photos of your vehicle before and after using this service. However I will be filing a court case to recover cost of damage' for them to not get away with this, most importantly to be held accountable.

I completely understand it was a free event and things can get hectic, but the lack of communication from staff really left a bad impression. We RSVP'd ahead of time and had QR codes, yet no one ever asked to check them. Meanwhile, people were being pulled from the line because they knew someone or recognized a famous person. No hate or hard feelings, I get how events work but it definitely felt frustrating for the people who actually registered and waited patiently. Better communication and organization would have made a huge difference.

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.

They are far from professional. The owner was kind at first,…read morebut after I sent her the money she was requesting she became very rude. After sending the money I asked if she could send me the Liability insurance so that I could email it to the venue where I would be holding my daughter's baptism. Per the venue's request. She said no and then later I asked if I could get the bartenders email address so that I can communicate with her. As I wanted to figure out what alcohol to purchase. I wanted to purchase alcohol that the bartender best works with. The owner Angela said no again and then went on saying I was requesting additional stuff. She wanted the payment to be the end of our conversation. She wanted me to pay her and not ask further questions. I then asked if I could get my money back, as I didn't want to do business with her anymore. She then went on and said she could care less and if I wanted my money back my husband would have to contact her. After that she blocked me. I then began to panic and I worried that she wouldn't refund me my money back. Keep in mind that I am already dealing with all the stress that comes from planning an event. I am also pregnant so this was definitely a terrible thing to have experienced. I then asked my husband to reach out to her. Only then did she decide to refund me my money back. Moral of the story, don't book with them. Its better to book with someone who actually cares about their clients.

The TRUFFLE BREAD w/SPICY PICKLED VEGGIES was excellent, and the spicy veggies stole the show. I made my dad jealous with images. GRILLED OCTOPUS in a CREAMY SAUCE with fennel and greens: -- not ultra-tender but very delicious -- very good dish RATING = A BUCATINI CARBONARA: -- visually stunning -- thick hollow bucatini -- fresh delectable pasta -- so creamy and flavorful -- probably the best rendition of this famous dish I have ever had in 10 or more years of consuming it -- modest portion size RATING = A+ SKIRT STEAK FRITES: -- steak fries' style which are not my ideal since often less crisp -- "medium" done steak as requested -- fantastic quality steak but small portion sadly for the cost with skirt steak not being a premiere cut but more of a casual delicious cut that is very hard to overcook -- garlic aioli dipping sauce is yum -- value is "so so" RATING = A+ BROCCOLINI: -- so very flavorful that the wife knowingly comments about veggies never tasting this good at home...too many health nuts in Cali so they are usually scared of oil, butter, grease, fat etc. -- nicely seasoned RATING = A+ BRUSSEL SPROUTS: -- great char -- taste and sniff addicting -- great texture -- sauce is light but tasty and clearly there RATING = A+ AFFOGATO: -- ice cream very sweet (vanilla) -- coffee by local co. "Sparrow" is way too sour and bitter (level 5 on sour and level 7 on bitter) -- this would be better with a chocolatey nutty bolder coffee vs. a sour citrusy fruity coffee -- the wife gets this all the time and this was a miss and needs improvement RATING = B- Love the classic style and vibe inside. A great look and feel. STAFF provide exceptional service. They are located in a seriously hot dining district of the city so expect crowds.

We ordered several dishes to try:…read more Appetizers: 1. Caesar salad - more anchovies but great flavors and big portion 2. Burrata - delicious with pesto and chickpeas and the prosciutto 3. Nonna's meatballs - recommended to us and they were four giant meatballs of deliciousness with marina sauce. Absolutely delicious but so filling that we couldn't finish pasta Pastas 1. Orechiette - squid ink pasta with rock shrimp; love the flavor of squid ink and cooked well. Sauce was decent. 2. Bucatini carbonara - egg on top that we mixed in. Pancetta and perfectly cooked bucatini that was unlike any other bucatini I've had. Delicious! Drinks 1. Cucumber cocktail with rosemary was refreshing but I realized I have a more fruity taste palette. 2. My hubby liked his Pinot noir. I liked the cute giant glass Vibes: giant restaurant with elegant decoration that felt homey. Clean bathrooms. And with the summer festival going on, it was an interesting contrast in indoor versus outdoor vibes. The inside is also bustlin' and loud from chatter. Service was okay, but they were too busy to really be attentive.

The plentiful and delicious brunch buffet goes for a very reasonable $35 per adult, $15 for kids 6-12, and free for kids 5 and under. Throw in a photo session with Santa and Mrs Claus and it's a fun holiday deal that can't be beat. This particular Santa was the most fun and gregarious Santa I have ever encountered also. After the photos, he spent some quality chat time with the kids he encountered. The food and food layout and seating layout here were great and it's a much better setup here than at the overly spread out Oakbrook location. I particularly enjoyed their prime rib, smoked salmon, and waffles with home-made whipped cream. Our server was prompt and attentive despite how busy it was. FYI - Pinstripes had some financial difficulty and was recently bought out by an outfit called Punch Bowl Social. They have closed some locations nationwide, but thankfully both Oakbrook and Northbrook look safe for now per the media. Yaay, and best of luck going forward!

Truly a 5 star experience at The Langham!…read more I was lucky enough to be gifted a stay and had an incredible time. The hotel is so beautiful, I can see why it's ranked #3 in the nation. If you're able to splurge for club access at $200/person, you'll get to experience stunning city views, breakfast, afternoon tea, snacks, unlimited cocktails, and evening bites. We were also sent a bottle of wine and snacks to our room. I loved that they have a free spa area where you can use the sauna, heated stone loungers, and cold showers. The pool was stunning and we enjoyed swimming, just wish the hot tub was hotter as it was lukewarm. The room was great as well with a Nespresso machine and relaxing tub. Every time we stepped out of the room we would come back to a nice surprise, the room would be cleaned or they would leave the water and ice. Very attentive customer service here. Overall it was nice to live in luxury for the night, highly recommend if you're looking to splurge and relax! Hope I'll be able to stay again someday.

Such a great experience. I seriously considered going back for dinner. Well done Tapas Valencia.

Disappointing Experience at Tapas Valencia on Friday night with manager…read more I was incredibly disheartened during our recent visit to Tapas Valencia, one of our favorite restaurants in our neighborhood. We walked in, excited for a nice evening out without of town guest, only to be turned away and told they were fully booked for the evening. What was even more frustrating was that when I checked online shortly after, there were tables available within 30 minutes of leaving the restaurant. Living less than a block away and having been regular visitors, this experience was particularly disheartening. The manager's lack of care when turning us away left a sour taste, and it felt as though our loyalty didn't matter at all. With so many dining options within walking distance, we decided to take our business down the street. We usually visit Tapas Valencia about twice a month, but after how we were treated this evening, it's clear that we won't be returning. It's unfortunate, but the way we were treated has led us to seek out other dining experiences.
