I came here with my family for my 21st birthday. It was a snap judgement to come here instead of…read morethe other restaurants I was looking at but it definitely worked out in my favor because I had an AMAZING time! The place is beautiful. Super super cozy, dimly lit, formal and old fashioned. It even smells amazing, like fresh herbs. I loved looking around at all the decorations, the artwork and the crab-themed decor were special. I don't go to haute restaurants, like, ever but I didn't feel out of place for a second thanks to the amazing service. Our waitress was very personable, she sang us happy birthday and we had some fun brief conversations. Even the diners at surrounding tables were friendly and lively. I got a few "happy birthday"s from kind strangers. There are no words that could describe how amazing my cobb salad was... I thought I might cry while I was eating it. The fish was fresh and tender, the dressing was sweet and zesty and creamy. It was just perfect!!!! If I ever find myself on death row this would be my first pick for my last meal. The desserts were phenomenal too. No notes. This experience was worth every penny and I had a great time

5 stars for Bonefish Grill in Schaumburg!…read more It was my first time back to a Bonefish in so many years, and it's a lot better than I remembered! I got to try the Dynamite Salmon and the Shrimp & Mussels - delicious! Both came with 2 sides - I think my favorite side was the whipped potatoes - they're a lot like mashed potatoes but creamier - so tasty definitely get that side if you go! The broccoli was perfectly steamed as well, and the rice was also good. My favorite of the 2 entrees was the Dynamite Salmon - the crab meat on top was perfect and complimented the salmon really well. I had a side sauce of chimichuri with the mussel and shrimp - also highly recommended if you like oil mixed with spices for a nice flavor. Service was good, the manager was walking around assisting as well which is nice to see. Overall, if you want some good seafood and are in Schaumburg, go to Bonefish!

We were really disappointed with our entrées during my birthday dinner at Bonefish Grill in…read moreSchaumburg. I made a 5:30 p.m. Friday reservation, which was easy enough, and when we arrived the restaurant was about 75% full. The hostess greeted us but never asked for our reservation, though we were seated right away. John was our server, and he was great--attentive, friendly, and always on top of refills. Warm bread with olive oil and water arrived promptly, and he gave us time to look over the menu. We ordered a Fresh Margarita, a Dirty Martini, and the crispy cauliflower. The cauliflower was delicious, but the Margarita tasted pre‑made rather than freshly mixed. For dinner, we chose the Fish & Chips and the Scallops & Shrimp Scampi Pasta. Unfortunately, both dishes fell short. The most common causes they lose their crispiness falls into three categories: too much moisture, incorrect oil temperature, and overcrowding. The breading on the fish and the fries were not crispy at all--see photo below. I ate the first piece, but ended up removing the coating from the second and took the third home. The pasta needed much more of the white wine garlic lemon sauce; it just wasn't as flavorful as expected. We finished with the Bourbon Brownie--the only chocolate dessert on the menu--and that did deliver. Rich, warm, and satisfying. Despite the food misses, John truly elevated the experience. He checked in often, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant had great energy, and the décor was tastefully done. Servers were dressed in white button‑down jackets and black slacks, adding a nice touch of professionalism. By the time we got up to leave, the place was absolutely hopping. Great service, great appetizer and dessert--but the entrées didn't meet expectations.

I stopped by here recently as this place had been on my radar for a short while. I'm going to…read morepreface a bit by saying there aren't enough great or even good quality places for fried shrimp and fish in the burbs. That said, this place impressed me upon my first visit. I stopped in for lunch to pickup a large order or shrimp and fries. I was greeted by Elizabeth initially. She insisted that I upgrade to the plate instead which included cole slaw and potato salad for a small extra fee so I proceeded to lock it in. Shortly after, her husband Kenny greeted me and we had a friendly talk for a while. They hooked me up with an additional side and drink (they did not have to do that) which I thought was a very kind gesture. My food came out prompt, hot and fresh. I ate a few shrimp and fries while there before hitting the road. Everything was crispy, seasoned well and appetizing. I ate the cole slaw and potato salad later at work and enjoyed each. Overall, this is a business I'd certainly return to in the near future. Cost is very competitive and on par with most places so this is a reason to further recommend them. To the owners, thank you for an excellent first impression. Hope to see you again soon!

This was one of the best po boys I've ever had in my life!! I'm somewhat of a connoisseur, as I'm…read moreused to the po boys down south in new Orleans and Atlanta. I got -shrimp po boys (x-tomato) with fries -one of each sauce -peach cobbler On my 15 minute drive home everything was still fresh and warm and crispy. -Fries were SO perfectly seasoned I almost didn't even need a sauce, which for me is crazy as I need a sauce with everything (but I always try it first without). -The po boy...my god. It was so crispy, fresh, the shrimps were perfectly battered (hate when they hide the shrimp between 10 layers of batter), the lettuce was fresh and surprisingly not wilted by the time I got to my destination. I'm not one for cheese on my po boys, and almost got it without, but im actually really glad I kept the cheese on. -Sauces were all great, the Roumalade is where it's at though. I could've really just had 10 of those and been happy! The tarter was a bit less zesty/tart than what I'm used to, but I ended up putting the hot sauce in it and it was delicious -peach cobbler i have yet to try, but it looks so glossy and creamy, will be eating tonight! The service was really just the cherry on top. Elizabeth, the owner, is the one who greeted me, and she was just a doll. She's a sauce queen, like me, so she made sure I try every single sauce! And gave me the peach cobbler on the house as it's my first time there. She's just the sweetest! You can tell her, her husband, and her son just have so much fun together. I'm just so warmed by my experience there, as she went so above and beyond, AND my food was impeccable. I'm quite the critique with my food, and only rate honest to what I feel, and this place deserves 5/5 stars hands down.

5 Stars - A Wonderful Dining Experience!…read more What a fantastic evening at The Gregory! We met up with some longtime friends for dinner, and everything about our experience was absolutely wonderful. From the beautiful ambiance and inviting atmosphere to the outstanding service and excellent food quality, everything was top-notch. The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and enjoyable from beginning to end. Of course, the highlight of the evening was sharing great food, wonderful conversation, and laughter with old friends. The Gregory provided the perfect setting for a memorable night. Great food, exceptional service, beautiful atmosphere, and even better company. It truly doesn't get much better than that! We couldn't have asked for a better evening. Highly recommend The Gregory for anyone looking for a special dining experience. A well-deserved five stars!

To begin with, this is the best steak in the area and it's not close. I really loved the Japanese…read moreWagyu Ribeye, which they removed, but I think they change the menu a lot, and regardless of when you come you'll be satisfied with the selections here. The bartenders are fantastic, all of them. They are always quick to fill a drink or make conversation and have great recommendations. Get there early though, because it fills up quickly, even on weeknights. All the old fashioneds here are perfect, and that's my go-to here. If steak isn't your thing they have a tremendous Caesar salad here. It's quite large too, so I'd suggest splitting it with whoever you bring. The popover rolls are a must. Meaning, you must get them every time. The pasta I had once, it was good, but I love the risotto. The French onion soup looked phenomenal (I didn't get it) but 3 people next to me did, and all loved it. My favorite sandwich on the menu is the French Dip. The interior is beautiful and the dress code is what I would call business casual. Make a reservation or get to the bar early at the best place in town, The Greggory!

I'm not going to mention any names but every place for takeout to the Palatine area has Sucked. Too dry, overcooked, no meat, weird sauce, small portions, you name it, BAD. I took a chance on SSBBQ. They had a special promo in the Uber Eats App so I ordered a Slab +1/4 of Ribs, fries, Cole slaw and Beans. It was delivered quickly, warm and delicious! The Ribs were THICK and juicy with not too much sauce! All of the sides were fresh and really good. My wife and I both really loved the dinner and will be ordering again when we get the BBQ urge.

You get a side with your entree and I opted for the delicious cottage fries. Their ranch dressing is fantastic. We topped off our meal with a wonderful carrot cake, which is absolutely for sharing. Coming to Wildfire has you in a setting feeling like you're at a supper club from the 70s but modernized. It's lively, but not too loud, and a great scene for a wonderful dinner with friends or your partner.

The restaurant is small, with limited seating, but brightly decorated and immersive on the surf decor. I ordered the fish n chips, and they let me know it would be about 12 minutes, because they make everything fresh. No problema, dude. Beach Boys, surf music and other mellow tunes play overhead while you wait. It wasn't long at all, and I was presented with three (3!!!) crisply battered fish filets on a mound of seasoned shoestring fries. It was hot (prepared to order, remember), and delicious. The fries were awesome as well. I thought it was a little pricey, but the portions were large and I had plenty to take away. My fish was delish -- and I'd be glad to come back and try some of the other combos. The people who worked here were chill and friendly. Good vibrations!

She is so sweet and certainly very proud of her restaurant! We asked her for recommendations and she was happy to share some of the top preferred items of guests. She gave us time to look over the menu. I settled on the fried catfish dinner with a side of grits, greens & a roll. Hubby wanted fish and chips with a roll. Lisa told us that everything is made fresh to order so it would be about 15-20 mins. We weren't in any hurry, but we appreciated the heads up and the fact that it was all freshly made. The food arrived crispy and hot and oh so delicious! My catfish was so flakey. The grits and greens were the perfect sides to go with it. Hubs really enjoyed his fish and chips. The fries were so good, we couldn't stop eating them. Lisa also sold us on the fresh bread pudding, but we so full so we had to take it go. Just finished it tonight and it was even more delicious than she described! We will certainly be returning to try the shrimp po' boy and other items on her menu! Plus more bread pudding. Don't pass up this cute little place with delicious fresh seafood and desserts plus friendly service.
