My husband and I met some friends at Avacado Theory for dinner on a Sunday. All of their dishes contain avocados. Although this seems like a different concept I found that it worked well. The restaurant is decorated with lots of avocado themed decor. Their is a fun photo opportunity installed in the wall. They even have avocado salt and pepper shakers. I had the avocado pancakes. These were fluffy with chunks of avocado and bananas in them. My husband had the avocado chicken panini. This was also very good. I highly recommend Avocado Theory!

My husband and I met up with a friend for lunch and we wanted to try a new place. Avocado Theory had some healthier options and smaller portions which was perfect. The dining area was clean and had plenty of seating. We ordered at the counter and our food was brought to us. I ordered the appetizer sampler and everything was delicious. I thought the deviled eggs would be my favorite, but I really enjoyed the bruschetta. I devoured everything on the board. They also brought around little brownie samples with whipped cream and strawberry. I only took a star off because I didn't think my husband's tikka dish had enough flavor.

Decided to try this new spot called Avocado Theory. Yes, the name struck me Went with the breakfast burrito and had a spontaneous choice of the deviled eggs as a side. Breakfast burrito was a solid 10/10 but the deviled eggs unfortunately not so much. But that breakfast burrito is gonna be in my crosshairs from now on.

Stopped in for a quick bite before heading to a show. Decided to check this place out. Food was decent, I thought mine needed a little more flavor, but he didn't mind his or mine, lol. The staff was really nice and helpful when asking what they recommended. We asked the young lady who was sweeping the dining area. The place is well lit with plenty of seating for dining in which we did. Prices are reasonable, but watch the screen when paying because they automatically add the 20% tip (you'll need to adjust accordingly). They do offer catering as well.

I loved that all the dishes were made with fresh ingredients. The ride bowl was the best value for portion. It made the salmon toast look dismal. The Chicken Philly was tasty and generously seasoned-- perhaps a bit too peppery for my liking. The tapari plates were unique-- leaves woven together with bamboo slivers. The service was good. We were offered free samples of avocado brownies and avocado cheesecake. The brownies were a bit sandy but the cheese cake was delightful. Definitely had more of a hint of avocado, but it was enjoyable. There are long tables and benches/chairs that accommodate larger groups. I like that there was ample seating for small and bigger groups. I thought the high wall on the counter was strange for the first thing you see when you go to order. It felt like the staff workers were barricaded in. The solid wall does not give a very welcoming or inviting feel. However, the rest of the decor was fun and interesting. The mural wall with spaces to put your face through and stickers were highlights for the kids.

We just wanted somewhere quick to eat before visiting Ryerson Preservation Area. Avocado Theory was nearby, and I do love an avocado toast, so we decided to give it a try. It wound up being such a pleasant surprise! First of all, the restaurant really ran with the avocado theme throughout, from the menu, to the salt shakers, and the merch for sale (including house made beauty products!). As soon as we walked in and started looking over the menu, we were immediately greeted and asked if we had any questions. The service we received remained pleasant and courteous throughout our dining experience. It was a beautiful day, so my husband and I ate outside on the small patio. This gave us the chance to enjoy Fat Rosie's energetic music from next door, along with the overall garden-like setting of the shopping center. I got the Tomato Basil Avocado Toast. It hit the spot, with the toast itself especially standing out - it was sourdough, either toasted on the grill or in like a panini press. I'm gonna have to start packing my own Tajin though, because I love it on my avocado toast, and although Avocado Theory actually had a wall of various hot sauces, I did not spy any Tajin (nor did I ask if it was available). My husband got the Avocado Peach Salad. The thin sliced peaches were delicately sweet, and overall this was a flavorful and filling salad. He noted that this is a seasonal special, so get it while it's fresh!

My friend and I decided to try out Avocado Theory on a Friday evening before heading to mini golf. We were the only ones in the restaurant at 5pm. You order at the counter, and they bring your food out to you. I ordered the chicken wrap, but subbed out for the falafel. I wish there were more spices and flavoring to the wrap and side salad, but they do have bottles of hot sauce by their free infused water stand. I appreciate how environmentally friendly Avocado Theory is, and I always enjoy adding another healthy dining out option to my list. Make sure you scope out the FREE avocado stickers and photo op! Too cute. The staff was very friendly and willing to walk us through any questions. The food was pretty decent, but seemed to be a smidge pricey at $56 for two meals , smoothie and sparkling water, including tip. Be careful at checkout, as the POS attempts to add an automatic 20% gratuity, but you can adjust to your preference.

If you like avocado, this is the place to be! We tried the avocado egg rolls, chips and guacamole, and the signature avocado chicken panini. Service was great and the manager who greeted us was very friendly. We love that everything is very healthy and has good flavor. I'm looking forward to going back and sampling some of the other items on the menu.

Avocado cheese cake. Ok taste but wonderful shirt bread crust

Spotlessly clean but new Wooden tables and cute avocado salt shakers You order you food and it's delivered All the customers were groups of senior women. Free fruited waters complimentary it tastes like regular water but still a nice idea ( you get your own water). You order off a menu with pictures and order T the counter where you pay for your meal and add the tip if you want to. I got there at 12:40 and my food was delivered 20 minutes later. I didn't realize it's a vegan restaurant so very little seasoning Its was nice but I doubt I'll go back, but if your vegan it's a perfect place.

It has exactly been 2 years since we went to the Yelp Community Experience at Drop the Bop. We…read morewere so happy to have this small business introduced to us! Since then, we have happily added Drop the Bop to our takeout rotation list. What is so amazing is, both our daughter and myself are not into salads or veggies, and each time we pick Drop the Bop is like a small miracle. There has never been a bowl of fast food made of fresh veggies and meats and rice that tastes so great, and make us feel so good after eating it, but Drop the Bop does it! My husband and daughter picked the All-In bowls from the Yelp experience, and I had the build-a-bowl. Since then, we have been purchasing the All-In bowls every time. All the different ingredients are so fresh and delicious, they contribute to make a complex tapestry of tastes and textures, but all work together harmoniously. We always pick the black rice that has similar texture to sushi rice, that tastes fantastically and holds everything well together. Hubby and Daughter like the carpaccio sauce the best, that is light and not overpowering, while I favor the Yum Yum sauce as it is just yummy! We all like the seaweed soup that is delicious and not too salty. Drop the Bop is a hidden gem in Lincolnshire. Phillip, the young owner, always works so hard and is very resourceful. He teamed up with Yelp to introduce the small business to us Yelpers was a great idea. If you collect AA miles, Drop the Bop also helps you add more miles each time you purchase with your designated credit card. He even comes up with buy 10 get 1 free to encourage you to keep coming back. For us, just their bowls are good enough to make us keep returning. I hope they will keep doing well and growing forever.

Sat, Nov 8 at 12:54 AM…read more "EAT CLEAN. STAY FIT AND HAVE A BIBIMBOP TO STAY SANE." This is the slogan of Drop the Bop on their website, how accurate is that! Since we were introduced to Drop the Bop two years ago via a Yelp Community Experience, we have been returning from time to time to get their bowls. Each bowl contains bop (rice) with your choices of veggies and meats similar to Korean bibimbap! What makes DTB stands out from other businesses is that their ingredients are consistently very fresh, the bowls are delicious with generous portions. They offer the most healthy and delicious fast food that our family love! We love their All-In bowls that contain every veggie and meat that you can think of, and we choose black rice instead of white rice as the yummy base. I usually pick the Carpaccio sauce (out of 8 different sauces) on the side, which provides a "fresh citrus taste combined with olive oil and a hint of jalapeño and black pepper" that has a nice kick to the bowl. I always pick the seaweed soup over miso soup as well. Phillip, who is the very friendly owner of DTB, seems to be always working there. I saw him every time I went to pick up our orders. Funny thing was that he gave me a punch card that offered buy 10 bowls get one for free. I have misplaced several of those cards. Phillip said that I could combine several of those cards to get a free bowl once the total slots punched add to 10. It would be OK with me that I never find all my cards to get that offer. To me, the bowls at DTB is worth every penny, and I don't mind paying full price for each one of them.

We decided to reserve a table here after watching a musical at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre…read more Cooper's Hawk is right down the road from here. We arrived prior to the reservation time and had to wait 15-20 minutes but we were ok with it as we were having a good conversation while waiting. After we were seated, the server promptly gave us waters and asked if we wanted anything to drink while waiting. We ordered a caprese flatbread and for my main dish I had the baked Parmesan shrimp scampi. The shrimp appetizer was a special but it was served to our table by mistake. The server just gave it to us. The caprese flatbread was delicious as usually. I really liked the balsamic glaze. I also feel the ingredients were evenly balanced. I didn't eat any of the shrimp appetizer so I cannot comment but it looked good. The main dish I had was so good that I was intending to save half, I ended up eating it all. The White Wine sauce was delicious and the shrimp was tender and not overcooked. Overall, we had a good time and ended up staying longer due to being with good company. The server was very nice and attentive. If it wasn't for the wait for our table, I would have given a 5 star review as everything else was good.

The wait staff were hospitable and helped us with anything that we needed! Forgot to take pictures of the food, but the family style lunch menu was a hit with everyone, and so much food! We appreciated being able to get more food as needed. The short rib was worth the upcharge and a fan favorite. If we need to host any more large parties like this, Saranello's is definitely on our list!

First off, it's hard to go wrong at any Melman restaurant, and Saranello's is no exception!…read moreWe were greeted promptly and professionally at the host stand. I noticed a portrait on the wall next to the stand and inquired who it was. Her name was Sara Rowe, and it's a loving memorial to a long time Melman partner. Melman combined her first name, Sara, with a classic Italian suffix to create the name "Saranello's". It's an upscale restaurant with upscale food. But at a mid-scale price point, Thanks for that! The food: I had the baked eggplant parm, since I'm from Chicago. You know what I mean if you're local. And it's my new benchmark. Well done! The wife had the braised short rib ravioli. It's now her desert island dish. It's a very very nice space. And our server knew the menu backwards and forwards. Anyone who's had the grated "parmesan" in the green can will appreciate the genuine Parmiggiano Reggiano they serve here. Freshly grated with no cellulose, and that beautiful tang! With homemade tiramisu for dessert, and a glass of wine, the tab was about $75, but you get what you pay for, and you'll get what you're paying for here!
