The outdoor patio overlooking the golf course is absolutely beautiful--relaxing, scenic, and the kind of place that makes you feel like you're on vacation. Even on a busy Thursday evening, the atmosphere was lively without ever feeling hectic. Our server, Jordyn, was outstanding. She looked young, but don't let that fool you--she was completely on top of everything. We were a party of six that couldn't decide what we wanted, laughed way too loudly, and probably tested her patience more than once. She handled us with grace, humor, and a smile the entire time. Somewhere along the way we started calling her "Wednesday" from The Addams Family, and she rolled with it perfectly. Great sense of humor and fantastic service. The food was excellent. The Crispy Eggplant Salad was absolutely phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and easily large enough to share between two people. The burger was cooked perfectly, the cocktails were outstanding, and everything arrived promptly. The bar staff also deserve a shout-out. They were welcoming from the moment we arrived, made great eye contact, acknowledged everyone immediately, and had drinks in our hands in no time. That's the kind of hospitality that makes people want to come back. Fox & Turtle has the rare combination of great food, attentive service, excellent drinks, and a beautiful setting. It's the kind of place you expect to find inside an exclusive club, yet thankfully it's open for everyone to enjoy. We'll definitely be back.

Naxos has a pretty big menu but is still limited in some things. A lot of it is meaty including fish. There's few choices for vegetarians but they have salad at least. Coming in here it looks a lot fancier than the places around it. It's actually still pretty casual and there's okay prices. There's a bar at the front and that's where we sat. Good stuff as far as alcohol. It's about $7 for the House Red Wine. A good one. It's about $11 for the Athenian Salad. This is pretty much like a Greek Salad. Okay but basic. The rest of the menu has classics like moussaka and spanakopita among lots of things you can get. Good enough that maybe we could go here again. It's located on Irving Park at Rohlwing. The Fried Eggplant is among the few things for vegetarians.

After visiting, I honestly think a lot of the crowd comes from it being a great sports bar atmosphere. We ordered the nachos, a wood-fired margarita pizza, chocolate cake, and gelato. The nachos were definitely my favorite savory item--they tasted really fresh, and I especially liked the guacamole. The chocolate cake was also delicious, and the gelato was easily the highlight of the meal. I'd absolutely come back just for the gelato. The only thing that disappointed me was the margarita pizza. I specifically ordered it because I was craving a classic wood-fired margarita pizza, but it had a different flavor than I expected. It seemed like there was Parmesan cheese on top, which isn't typical for the style I was looking for, and it threw off the overall taste for me. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back for the nachos and gelato. The pizza just wasn't my favorite, but I'd still recommend giving Enzo's a try.

    My mother went to this restaurant twice in person to arrange and confirm a family birthday…read morecelebration. The first time was about one month before the event. She spoke directly with the manager, Anastasia Sokol. Anastasia personally walked my mother into the private room, showed her the space, and asked which side of the room we preferred. My mother clearly explained that we wanted the side closer to the window. Everything was discussed and confirmed, and a $150 deposit was taken. Then, about two weeks later, my mother came back to the restaurant again to make sure everything was still in order. Shockingly, Anastasia acted as if she was seeing my mother for the first time. Despite that, they went through everything again. They discussed the menu again, reviewed the private room again, and once again talked about exactly where we wanted to sit. Then came the most unbelievable part. Our celebration is on Saturday, with all of our guests already invited and everything planned. On Thursday evening, just two days before the event, we received a call from Debby asking us whether we wanted to sit "outside or inside," as if none of the previous conversations, room selection, deposit, and planning had ever happened. We were then told that the private room/space we had arranged was not available for us. This is extremely disappointing and completely unacceptable. My mother physically came to the restaurant two separate times, spoke directly with the manager, was personally shown the private room, chose the side of the room we wanted, discussed the menu, and paid a deposit. To call us only a couple of days before the celebration and suddenly act as if these arrangements never existed is incredibly unprofessional. At this point, all of our guests have already been invited, the celebration has been planned around this reservation, and we are being left at the last minute without the space that was promised to us. We are very, very disappointed with how this was handled. What should have been a happy family celebration has now turned into unnecessary stress because of the way this reservation was managed. We will definitely be escalating this matter to upper management, contacting the owner of the restaurant, and filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau because this situation needs to be addressed. The way this was handled effectively ruined the plans for our party, and we would never expect this kind of treatment after confirming the same reservation in person twice and paying a deposit.

A special shoutout to the bartender, who was absolutely amazing! He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made our experience even more enjoyable with excellent service and a welcoming personality and I believe he was the owners son. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel valued, and it's clear they take great pride in both their food and customer service.
