The entire place was beautifully design and played into the concept well. I ordered the Fox River which was spirit forward, smooth, and subtly sweet. My husband ordered the Gin Blossom which was frothy, bright, and balanced. The drinks both tasted good and were presented well. This was definitely a favorite spot of mine and I'd certainly come back!

I've been here a few times with the guys and each time we love it. We've had the back room, with a big screen TV, all to ourselves and we've also posted up on the balcony. Not matter where we sit the seats are comfortable and the surroundings are swanky! Ordering from the menu is a chore because everything sounds amazing! Rest assured... it is! I have yet to have a cocktail here that didn't wonderfully wet my whistle. And the same high remarks go for the staff, who are always welcoming and accommodating. I dare you not to become a fan of TDS upon your first visit! Will I be back again? Absolutely!

We went to an event in East Dundee and I had a taste for a burger, so tried this restaurant…read more My boyfriend and I split their regular 1/2 lb burger with fries. I added a side of coleslaw too. It was a nice atmosphere, the staff was friendly, the food was good and was reasonably priced. We ate outside, which was nice. They are in the process of updating their menu and their outdoor space. I look forward to going again when the changes are done too. I met Joe, the owner or manager and Karyssa, who was a bartender, and server and supervisor, I think. They were both very nice. They have events, such as karaoke and BINGO, I think too, but I only went at lunchtime today, so didn't see these events.

No greeting as you walk in, so we just sat down. You are given a menu. It's a dive bar, so I didn't…read moredare ask for anything special. Bloody mary was really good and when I mentioned that, zero reaction. Alridy then. I will keep my compliments to myself. I seriously regret tipping $20 bucks. UGH She did ask if the food was good though, once. We had the flatbread the night before at Foxy's and whoever brought it by was really sweet, so we assumed the following day we would get the same service. Heck no. Anyway, will say the food was good. But due to the ambiance and service, will not be returning. I mean I could just go get the same food somewhere else, with better service and actual good cocktails.

It leans into…read moreits no-frills charm, offering a laid-back atmosphere where the focus is less on polish and more on simply enjoying the moment. The experience is straightforward but dependable -- a place to grab a drink, relax, and settle into the kind of environment that hasn't tried to change with the times. It's a solid three-star spot that delivers exactly what you expect from a neighborhood dive. If you want to run into friends that you haven't seen since high school; this is your place.

Overall the drinks were unique and fair priced to the quality and to other establishments in the neighborhood. Since it was early in the evening, the bar was a little bit quiet. As we were finishing our drinks, the staff informed us of the basement lounge seating. When we headed down, we were pleasantly surprised by the moody speakeasy feel and could see ourselves coming back on another day to relax in that space. Thank you to Foxy's Hideaway for opening and offering another great cocktail option in the neighborhood!!

Updating from a previous experience…read more We came to celebrate my dad's birthday with a 6:00 PM reservation on a Friday, and I am so glad we did. While my past visit may have varied, this experience was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to our incredible server. To start the night, I ordered the Puttin' on the Spritz, which was absolutely delicious. As someone who is celiac/ gluten-free, navigating group dinners can be stressful, but our server made it seamless. We decided to dine family-style. While there weren't any regular appetizers I could have, the restaurant offers a dedicated GF menu, and our server went above and beyond to accommodate me for the rest of the meal: Salads: Family-style comes with two salads, and the server safely modified both to be gluten-free. Entrees: The family-style option includes four entrees. I ordered the Rigatoni D with GF pasta (the menu explicitly notes they can substitute GF pasta). Our server also had the medallion plate specially made gluten-free. The Delivery: When the food arrived, they brought my GF pasta out separately to avoid cross-contamination and even surprised me with my own dedicated plate of GF Chicken Francese! To top it all off, their crème brûlée is naturally gluten-free, and they brought one out just for me to enjoy for dessert. Our server was exceptionally knowledgeable about gluten allergies, and I deeply appreciated how thoroughly cared for I felt throughout the night. The food was delicious across the board. We will definitely be back!

I held my son's graduation party for 15 guests on Sunday. While the day ended on a positive note…read morethanks to some incredible staff members, the management and initial service were deeply disappointing. Despite having a reservation confirmed three weeks in advance and receiving a confirmation call that same morning, our party was not seated until 4:30 PM for a 4:00 PM booking. My husband and I checked in with the host starting at 3:55 PM, only to receive vague, dismissive responses like 'we're working on it.' Worse, the host displayed an unprofessional attitude, stating 'I have already told you in a few minutes' and was seen talking to other hosts about how upset our group was. When I finally spoke with a manager, Don M., his response was unsettling. Rather than apologizing for the 30-minute delay, he simply told me 'I am not kicking you out,' which felt incredibly unprofessional and dismissive for a milestone celebration. After we were seated, Don M. never returned to check on us or acknowledge the delay. Fortunately, Assistant Manager Luis Martinez and our servers, Marco and Georgina, completely saved the day. Luis came to our table to check on us personally, and Marco and Georgina were excellent, accommodating our large group's orders perfectly. If it weren't for their professional care, I would not return to this location." I truly hope that you consider looking into this matter as I have seen and witnessed how rude and unprofessional the host was yesterday not only to our party but to other guests checking in. It was a busy day for graduation parties and I just hope that they were all treated right. " Our Purpose is to bring people together to celebrate the love of family and friends", which is the main goal of this restaurant which I truly hope that you stand by with".
