The hostess was so pleasant when she greeted us and our waitress was so pleasant, attentive and sweet. I hate myself for not remembering their names. But I judge an establishment immediately off how I am treated. Very clean place, a nice setup and it appears the ambiance looks even better at night. We ordered the calamari as an app ( so delicious) I ordered the cod with potatoes and broccolini...simple yet tasty. My niece had the steak frites with the Brussels sprouts...we enjoyed everything! I cannot forget...the manager greeted us as well. I will return...the service was great from beginning to end!

We went here for a friend's birthday and it was a great spot! The menu is extensive (almost too…read moremany options!!!) and there really is something for everyone. The space is clean, enticing, and as the name implies, modern. The service was very friendly, and the manager stopped by to check in twice. We ordered a few different starters and everyone got their own entrees. My favorite appetizer was the pork belly, and I really enjoyed my bucatini sausage pasta. The group agreed that the drinks were not great. The cocktails tasted off and the sodas had no carbonation. Would definitely come back!

It feels as if you've walked inside of a really trendy coffee bar. Everyone is super warm and inviting. Which makes you instantly smile. This place is happy and energetic. I loved looking around at all of the different decorations, treats, and treasures. There's plenty of seating indoors or limited seating outdoors. Everything is spotless! And, they're fast, efficient, and no matter what you get it is perfect! It's a great place to go and study, hangout, or sit for an incredible cup of coffee! I had the pleasure of being introduced to this place by Yelp and I loved it! My go to drink is the iced decaf latte! This drink is creamy, dreamy, and delicious. With nots of toasted coconut, deep caramel, and cocoa nibs. Pure perfection! They also have a bar later in the day to try all kinds of in house made drinks. So, if you're looking for a trendy new coffee bar. Come here!

Every time I come here I find a new drink I enjoy. Their seasonal options have been fun and…read moredifferent flavor combinations than what I've found at other coffee shops. And their tea is amazing! My favorite so far was in the fall, they had a maple flavored tea that was just the right sweetness and tasted like maple syrup without being overwhelming. I went back to buy another bag to gift a friend, THAT good. I tried a charcuterie board, I wasn't expecting to be able to pick my meat and cheese options so that was a really cool surprise. The selections were tasty, and I felt like it was a good value. I forgot to take pictures, but they do a nice looking spread! Every time I've gone, the folks working there have been really friendly and helpful if I have questions about anything on the menu. I've gone during work hours and after hours, it can get a bit busy during the day with people working there but they have a great large back area with plenty of seating - I have never gone and not been able to find a spot to sit. I do wish they had some more comfy seating. The chairs at the tables are all metal, no cushion, so they aren't great to sit on for that long. In the front area there are wooden benches along the walls to sit on, and they do have some pillows you can use, but when you're there with someone and want to sit across from each other, one of you has to take the metal seat. Despite the seating, I still enjoy going - I've gone there to work, to sit and read, and it would be a chill place to setup a small tabletop game and enjoy a couple of hours with some good drinks, snacks, and friends.

To be honest, all of my reviews are based on whether a restaurant does what it should do given its…read moreprice point. It's decor. And it's place in the market. More importantly, does it offer the kind of service, ambience, and experience that would make you want more? I would say 151 kitchen and bar in Elmhurst does meet those expectations. On a recent work night celebration with colleagues, we ended up here for a nice dinner. Beautifully outfitted, the service was spot on, and the food was for the most part really good. Key points for me for the honey and ricotta with bread - absolutely excellent! I ordered the Atlantic salmon, which came on a bed of tiny potatoes and broccolini absolutely what was expected, the flavors were indicative of light seasoning, and I can truly say I loved it. Needless to say, the food was fantastic. You can see the photo of my entrée below? It looks very inviting right? And indeed it was. One of my colleagues was kind enough to let me take a picture of his chicken bowl - which is below as well - and he pronounced it as pretty good. Coming from him that is high praise, indeed! The tomato bisque soup I had as an app? Pretty delicious - the only concern I would indicate was that it was just a tad too sweet, but otherwise it was served at the perfect temperature, and really hit the spot. Nicely done! So - will I bring hubby here? Yes, I think so. Definitely a worthwhile place for him to try for sure - and I will make plans to bring him here soon.

First, let me start by saying 151 kitchen had a great vibe and lots of staff. Friendly and overall…read moredecent. My challenge is and why I'm giving two stars is that their food is priced on a higher side with mediocre quality. They serve lamb loins, but listed as chops. I ordered lunch all the time and I've never had two mediocre loin. I asked our great waitress of how thick were the chops and where they double boned. She led me to a manager who said you get plenty of food and dodged my question. He simply should've said we don't serve chops. I spent almost $500 for six of us. I think they're a better spot to spend your money for that amount. I did reach out via phone call and email as suggested with no return calls or email. I don't plan to go back for a high priced meal plus a 3% surcharge.

I went with…read morethe Ube latte which is something I have never tried or even heard of before (I mean, how do you even make a yam a latte??). Usually specialty drinks can be expensive in nice coffee shops like this, but it only came out to a bit over 5 dollars. It was so amazing, sweet without being too sweet, and the perfect ube flavor for someone relatively uninitiated with the purple root. It also came out super quick, I could see them working on it while I finished ordering! The employees are all very kind, one of them complimented my wallet and I love compliments so it just set the tone for a great day. I got a seat by the window. There is plenty of natural light in here and plenty of great vibes. About 7 tables in the main area, a couch, and a big table in a room towards the back. Also, a big mural and lots of plants. Really fun and artsy environment. They were selling t-shits and merch which all looked cool and had nice designs. Once I become a regular here (which I now intend on!) I think I will definitely have to get a shirt or hoodie. I noticed there aren't many reviews yet for here which leads me to believe it is not as popular as it deserves to be. But guys, you gotta come, or you're missing out!

Upon entering on a Sunday afternoon, it was quiet, the music was nice and the staff was on par with their service. I was serviced with smiles and generosity. The two women helped me pick the perfect pastry to go along side my lavender chai latte and regular chai latte, which was a gluten free vegan Ube muffin topped with cinnamon sugar. They warm the pastry up for me which definitely made it better. I maybe spent $15 for two drinks and a pastry which was phenomenal considering other places would have been higher in price. I'll definitely be returning to try other pastries and enjoy the large space the cafe has.

From the moment I approached them, they greeted me with such warmth and professionalism that instantly made me feel valued as a customer. They went above and beyond to make sure I found exactly what I needed, offering creative suggestions and taking the time to ensure every detail was perfect. Their knowledge of flowers and arrangements is exceptional, and it's clear they both take great pride in their work. What stood out most was how genuinely caring and attentive Jill and Marina were throughout the entire process. They didn't just provide a service they created an experience. Their teamwork, patience, and dedication made what could have been a stressful task easy and enjoyable. I left the store feeling confident and grateful, knowing I was in such capable hands. I am sincerely thankful that Mariano's hires such wonderful, professional people who truly care about their customers. Jill and Marina exemplify the kind of service that keeps customers like me coming back time and time again. Because of them, I will always choose Mariano's for my floral needs and I'll be sure to recommend this location to friends and family as well. Thank you again, Jill and Marina, for your kindness, professionalism, and exceptional service! Sincerely, Monquiz

I ordered a mushroom and shrimp dish that was offered over wide rice noodles. So delicious! The variety of mushrooms really set this dish apart.
