    Nicoise salad
    Andrea M.

    Nice ambience - trendy, spacious, plus I still felt comfortable bringing my kids - there is a kids menu after all. My kids love the hot dog and the homemade apple sauce (I agree the apple sauce is truly delicious). I will say that at dinnertime, the choice of colors on the menu made it very uncomfortable to read in the dim lighting. Service was attentive and friendly. For lunch, I recommend the nicoise salad. At dinner, the sushi exceeded our expectations (a nice surprise, we weren't expecting there to be sushi at all). Our entrees were delicious but we felt that at this price point (mid $30s for most entrees), the dishes were missing a third component. For example, the schnitzel came with slaw - I would have appreciated a vegetable (or apple sauce!). The swordfish was cooked perfectly and tender, but sat atop slightly too little rice. It could have used a vegetable too. Finally, there's a nice wine list, and some interesting cocktails, but I was disappointed that there wasn't a single bourbon or whiskey -based cocktail on the list.

    Went for dinner without reservations on a busy Wednesday evening. We got seats inside and our waiter responded in ~10 minutes of seating. We had 3 different kinds of sushi, espresso martini, the bread, burger, espresso and tiramisu. The food was as expected and the wait staff were polite.

    A suburban restaurant with an urban feel. The food was delicious and had a great vibe. Will definitely return.

My sister had received a gift card here as a gift from her coworkers for her birthday, so we were in no hurry. My main issue is that their payment system was down, so they had to manually process my payment. I ended up getting overcharged and paying an extra $50. So I provided my information to them so management could call me back and they could process a refund. Surprise surprise, they never called me back. Thanks.

The plentiful and delicious brunch buffet goes for a very reasonable $35 per adult, $15 for kids 6-12, and free for kids 5 and under. Throw in a photo session with Santa and Mrs Claus and it's a fun holiday deal that can't be beat. This particular Santa was the most fun and gregarious Santa I have ever encountered also. After the photos, he spent some quality chat time with the kids he encountered. The food and food layout and seating layout here were great and it's a much better setup here than at the overly spread out Oakbrook location. I particularly enjoyed their prime rib, smoked salmon, and waffles with home-made whipped cream. Our server was prompt and attentive despite how busy it was. FYI - Pinstripes had some financial difficulty and was recently bought out by an outfit called Punch Bowl Social. They have closed some locations nationwide, but thankfully both Oakbrook and Northbrook look safe for now per the media. Yaay, and best of luck going forward!

With that grandiose opening, only these two "Starkers" could take me out for dinner to a restaurant 50 miles away (round trip) on a Saturday night. This better be good, I thought. Charlie Beinlich's Food and Tap out in Northbook is this Dive Bar / Tavern established in 1950 and looked and felt every bit of its 75 years; I absolutely LOVED this place. Wow, talk about nostalgia! Beinlich's emanated an era way back when that just doesn't exist anymore. At 7:30 pm this Saturday night this cash only place was packed to over flowing. I mean Humming like a turbine engine. The bar was sold out and we jumped on the only table left. Now the fun started: * Their Chili con Carne is this cauldron of meat and beans done thoroughly right. We loved it * Their shrimp cocktail was equally wonderful * My Cheeseburger was out of this world. With sautéed onions, real cheddar cheese, on toasted rye bread - Wow, it was so good. * Their French fries and coleslaw were great sides * My Miller Highlife Beer in a bottle took me back to my college days. The service was great, the ambience was better and the crowd was just this mess of very happy people. Will I come back here - a resounding YES! This is exactly what happens to you when you go out with the right people.

We had reservations for 9pm and were able to be seated straight away. We arrived to find the address brought us to a barber shop. Fortunately, my husband had done some research and knew the drill--we made our way to a organ against a brick looking wall. On top of the organ was a bell--we rang the bell and shortly after the brick wall swung open and a woman came out to greet us. She had us play a tune on the organ and then brought us back into the speakeasy. The vibes are pitch perfect. Dimly lit with candles on tables and artful films playing on screens. We loved it. We were greeted straight away and brought water. You can also get a full meal here which we did not know but noted for our next visit. They had a special Valentine's menu as well as their regular cocktail menu. For my first cocktail, I got the paper plane which was light, lemony, and lovely with the adorable touch of a small paper plane pinned to the cocktail with a clothespin. For my second, I got one of their Valentine's specials which was essentially a Boulevardier made with a small float of mezcal on top. What an amazing addition to this classic cocktail! Truly, gave it added dimension, depth, and smoky flavor. I loved it. We also enjoyed their Valentine's dessert special, which was princess cake. It was a lovely blend of tart raspberry and warm almond--we loved it! The service was lovely throughout our experience. Get to it!
