I went to eat at Corrales on Friday night and accidentally left my phone behind…read more When my wife went back to pick it up, using the location from Find My iPhone, the same server who had waited on me told her she didn't recognize me or know who I was. My wife was there with our two little children, trying to explain what I had been wearing, who I was with, and where we had been sitting. She was still ignored and received very little help from the staff. Eventually, I did get my phone back, and I'm thankful for that. But what bothers me is everything surrounding it. I tipped more than 20% that night. I always try to leave my table as clean as possible out of respect for the server and busser. I've been coming here for years. I genuinely love the food and have always enjoyed the atmosphere. I even have memories of getting ice cream with my son from the place next door, which I understand is under the same ownership. That's why this experience hurt more than it probably would have somewhere else. Maybe this was the actions of one server. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. I can't say for certain what every staff member knew. But from my wife's experience, no one seemed willing to help her, and the way the situation was handled felt dishonest, dismissive, and disrespectful. Something as simple as returning someone's lost phone should not have turned into this. I have a lot of good memories at Corrales, and I truly loved coming here. Unfortunately, after this experience, I don't see myself coming back. Thanks for the memories, Corrales. I sincerely wish this situation had been handled differently. Fui a comer a Corrales el viernes por la noche y accidentalmente dejé mi teléfono ahí. Cuando mi esposa regresó a recogerlo, usando la ubicación de Find My iPhone, la misma mesera que me había atendido le dijo que no me reconocía ni sabía quién era. Mi esposa estaba ahí con nuestros dos hijos pequeños, tratando de explicarle cómo iba vestido, con quién estaba y en qué mesa habíamos estado sentados. Aun así, prácticamente la ignoraron y recibió muy poca ayuda por parte del personal. Al final sí recuperé mi teléfono, y agradezco eso. Pero lo que realmente me molesta es todo lo que pasó alrededor de la situación. Esa noche dejé más del 20% de propina. Siempre trato de dejar mi mesa lo más limpia posible por respeto al mesero y a la persona que limpia las mesas. He venido a este lugar durante años. Sinceramente me encanta la comida y siempre he disfrutado mucho el ambiente. Incluso tengo bonitos recuerdos de ir por helado con mi hijo al lugar de al lado, que tengo entendido pertenece al mismo dueño. Por eso esta experiencia me dolió mucho más de lo que probablemente me hubiera dolido en cualquier otro lugar. Tal vez todo fue por la actitud de una sola mesera. Tal vez hubo algún malentendido. No puedo asegurar lo que sabía cada empleado. Pero por lo que vivió mi esposa, nadie parecía dispuesto a ayudarla y la forma en que manejaron la situación se sintió deshonesta, indiferente y muy irrespetuosa. Algo tan simple como devolverle a alguien un teléfono perdido no debería haberse convertido en algo así. Tengo muchos buenos recuerdos de Corrales y sinceramente me encantaba venir aquí. Lamentablemente, después de esta experiencia, no creo volver. Gracias por los recuerdos, Corrales. Sinceramente desearía que esta situación se hubiera manejado de otra manera.

The restaurant has indoor seating and a patio that was really cute. We were treated like royalty. Our server was a joy! Our water glasses were regularly filled. We both started with cocktails that we enjoyed. They provide a focaccia bread with buttery olive oil and Parmesan spread that was yummy. We split multiple tapas to start. The scallops were outstanding. The flavor was delicious with a great texture. We also had the spicy potato and crab cake. Both were good portions for tapas. I enjoyed both. We then split the salmon dish special that was stuffed with shrimp. Perfection with spinach. We ordered the tiramisu and were given a complimentary passion fruit custard. I liked both equally. The tiramisu is made with a different type of soaked cookie and the passion fruit has an amazing flavor.

We got to try items that we had not had together before including the goat cheese and tomato sauce with the toasted bread. I personally loved the lamb which was very tender and fell off the bone. The staff were very attentive and friendly. They had a couple large groups that they were able to navigate with ease. They also provided a parting drink for everyone. Our Patas Bravas dish did come out a little late so we were not able to enjoy it as much since we were getting full, but it tasted heavenly with the dipping sauce. If you are in the area, please check them out!

TERRIBLE service and staff!…read more This place has gone downhill. First, they now charge for a shared parking lot with the restaurant next door, even though parking was previously free. Second, the restaurant is extremely overpriced for the experience you receive. The biggest issue, however, was the payment. We showed both the manager and our server proof that our payment had been successfully processed, but they still charged us a second time for the exact same bill. As a result, we ended up paying $1,000. Despite providing proof that the first transaction had gone through, the duplicate charge was still processed. To top it off, the restaurant was nearly empty on a weekend. It used to be packed, which says a lot about how much things have changed. Between the unexpected parking fee, the overpriced food, and being charged twice despite showing proof of payment, this was an incredibly frustrating experience. I would not recommend this place

Carnivore in Oak Park…read more This is a butcher shop and fish market that also sells sandwiches I can't really decide if the old time decor is by design or if the place is really needing an upgrade. I actually think it's the latter. It's a lot smaller than I imagined with very limited seating. We went here for the grilled salmon sandwich. We had seen many online reviews saying it is amazing. They make the sandwiches right in front of you, so you know that they are fresh. We took our sandwiches to go and by the time we got them home , they were cold. The fries traveled well, but again they were also cold bu the time we got home. The grilled salmon sandwiches were very good, but not great , and I really would have loved to have eaten it warm. Prices are on the high side for the butcher meats. But I guess you should expect that since they are an artisanal butcher. I did not like the look of some of the meats in the cases. Would we go back? Maybe to try the Bacon Burger. But we would definitely recommend eating your food in the butcher shop and not taking it to go. I have just found out that that are moving into Carnival Grocery in Oak Park.

They had a very well curated selection of fancy condiments from small makers, rare ingredients, and the highest quality version of many every day foods! Everyone behind the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable. I had to try one of their sandwiches and got the salmon po boy at their recommendation. It was really well seasoned and super fresh with a very generous slice of fish on it. Definitely coming back for another one next time I'm in the area!

Whenever we're in the mood for something delicious and fast, we always end up coming here. It's a plus they have beer because some places don't have alcoholic beverages. While I'm not a big cocktail drinker, they have cocktails too and delicious micheladas.
