This is not the same palm court as it use to be. We went here for Father's Day brunch and being…read moredisappointed is not even the right expression. The buffet was dirty and messy, there was no food to choose from as the trays were empty- mind you we were there at noon. When my father went and said something the owner was a quite defensive but did not like his feed back. She was even worse to her employees. To top is all off she even came up to my dad and asked what it was exactly he was looking for and when he said better quality she went absolutely ballistic and ask him to pack him a bd his family of 10 and leave. The level of customer service was appalling. If you would like a messy, dirty and poor quality brunch this would it. WORST EXPERIENCE AND THE OWBER SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED. Update: I stand by my review and appreciate the reply from the business owner. Unfortunately this is not what had unfolded and she did ask my dad to leave... we could have left a tip, but there was no level of service provided that would have been gratuity worthy. If you would like a poor executed brunch and disappointing experience, please make a reservation.

Travel ruins you in the best possible way. You come home carrying invisible baggage. Flavors,…read moresteam, noise, late night meals in places that didn't care if you were comfortable, only that you were awake. After that, everything is compared to a memory. That is why Bowl of Fortune matters. Yes, you can get it delivered. And sometimes I do. But this place is meant to be visited. Walk in from an Illinois winter and suddenly there is heat on your face, plates hitting tables, the smell of broth and chili oil hanging in the air like it has nowhere else to be. Food arrives still fighting the laws of physics, steaming, loud, impossible to ignore. You do not just eat it. You remember where you have been. For a few minutes you are not in Wheeling anymore. You are back in that night market, that cramped restaurant, that trip that changed how you think about food forever. This is the place my kids beg for. The place I go when I miss the world. Bowl of Fortune is not about convenience, even if it shows up at your door. It is about reminding you what it feels like to eat something unforgettable.

Reminded me of Italy with it's decor and pizza oven. We were one of the two customers seated in the restaurant. The waitress seemed frazzled but she seated us right away and took our orders. The Trulli Salad was delicious!! Loved it!! The Bucatini Carbonara was slightly on the salty side and the peas tasted like it was frozen. My husband ordered the Burrata Pizza, and to our surprise, it was really more like a Bologna and Mortadella sandwich on a pizza bread. Disappointing!! It was cold and dry. Not good at all.

This place was recommended by a friend who couldn't stop raving about it. First and foremost, the service was incredible. We were helped by Sofie and (forgive me if I'm wrong but I think Victoria). They were the nicest girls. Sofie really helped by giving some suggestions and explaining what we were eating. Most importantly we decided to do a wine flight of their 4 favorites. I ended up loooving the red Saperavi wine. Very savory. Then our group decided to try a little of everything and basically ordered the whole menu. Below is a list of all the food we ate, starting with my most favorite but it was alllll sooooo good. The Adjaruli Khachapuri and Khinkali boiled beef-pork were outtttttstanding. Loved. Loved. Loved. You cannot leave without trying these items. The desserts, I wish I knew what they were, but we just told them to bring their top three favorites. Some of the best desserts I've ever had. If you're full....find room! They are a must. Thanks for such a great dinner, we all can't wait to come back! - [ ] Adjaruli Khachapuri (Georgian bread with cheese and egg) - [ ] Khinkali boiled beef-pork (Georgian dumplings) - [ ] 3 delicious desserts - [ ] Lamb Chops - [ ] Wrapped Lula Kabobs (Grape Leaves) - [ ] Chicken Tabaka (whole chicken) - [ ] Potatoes with seasoning

My husband said the ribs were the best he's ever eaten! The biscuits were big and fluffy!

When I heard that Passero's added a virtual seafood restaurant, I was pretty excited to have a…read moretaste of east coast seafood that I love. I was hoping that it would be a taste of New England here in the midwest. Placed our extensive and expensive order for 6 hoping to have dishes to share. The order was placed...all to be ready for pickup in about an hour. Feeling generous, a 10% tip was added to the tab (even though I had to pick up) Six mouths watering, here is what we ordered and here is what we received: 1) Clam chowder - opening a can of Campbell's would have been more tasty! Hard to find an actual clam in this bland bowl of liquid. Bacon? Clam? haa haa! 2) Clam Strips - oh sorry, we're all out. 3) Lobster roll - the lobster consisted of a few flakes - no chunks! Again, absolutely bland. No flavor but plenty of chewy roll served with a tiny cup of uninspiring limp cole slaw. 4) Lobster Mac and Cheese - oh sorry, we're out. 5) 1/2 rack Ribs - overcharred, dry not meaty hunk served again with their limp cole slaw. Not even BBQ sauce to choke these char sticks down with. 6) Cheddar(?) biscuits - 4 bland biscuit blobs that the kids wouldn't even eat. Absolutely NO flavor. 7) Crab spaghetti - pasta was OK but the search was on for crab chunks. 8) Coconut shrimp - the ONLY saving grace of this entire meal disaster. It was quite good. 9) Key Lime/blueberry pie - the 1/2" graham cracker bowl swollowed up the tiny amount of key lime filling topped by an abundance of blueberry pie filling (yes, the kind you buy in a can). The dense crust was so hard to break into that the scant lime was not worth the effort. The only edible part was the whipped cream which was quite good. You would think that whoever takes an order would be aware of what is no longer available. BUT the manager "generously" offered to take the items off our charge. WOWEEEE. To top it off, after we left the building, we noticed that the clam chowder was not in the bag which required another "face to face". To add insult to injury, our 10% tip was not adjusted. Sooooo......unless you plan a trip to New England, I guess Red Lobster will have to do. At least you'll get good cheddar biscuits! Chuck's Dockside......walk the plank :(

I have been eating TTOWA for over a decade(?) since I came across Terry's stand at a festival in…read moreDTAH. The food is consistently delicious, the service wonderful, and it always makes me feel special when Terry greets me at the restaurant! There are tables accessible at the time I eat dinner, haha, but they fill up later! The restaurant is dark and quiet and the bathroom is clean. We're a bibimbap family--chicken and pork, respectfully. Sometimes in a hot stone bowl, sometimes not. The buns, japchae, and assorted bonchon are all delicious, too. I prefer the aioli sauce over the traditional sauce on my bibimbap. I still remember how during COVID Terry had the ability to donate meals to thank the frontline workers. Also, one time, something was missing from my delivery order and Terry himself drove it to my house to apologize! Those are the offerings and moments that make a giant difference. Overall, I am always happy with the food, service, and love supporting a small, local business!
