    chicken rice soup - good but looked OH so bland
    Mark N.

    Christmas is special. After years of celebrating at Morton's, we elected to come here for a dinner Christmas night- the prices were reasonable, and the overall reviews weren't too off the mark. So we asked a couple friends to join us. First: Ambience- perfect. Nicely maintained; not too loud, and the only "off" thing we noted was a gas fireplace that wasn't turned on. Not a deal killer. Though we would have preferred a booth we got a nice table quickly and were seated within a minute after arriving. Nice so far! My chair had lots of bread crumbs on it; the table had small bread plates but no napkins or silverware. Ok - I cleaned off the chair; the server got us sorted with menus and the aforementioned napkins and silverware - and menus of course :) I ordered a beer - they were out. My 2nd choice? Out. Ok. Goose Island? They had. Our friends ordered wine, and hub-hub had a soda water w/lemon. The water came out, and we decided to order the following: Saganaki- the reason for the order? Flambe, of course! Bread came out quickly- it was warm and yummy. We all got water and our orders were taken. So far we were looking - well- good! Here came the disappointment - The saganaki came sans flambe. Why? The server said - and i quote- "there are too many people in the restaurant for us to do flambe". Reallly. Couldn't have let us know that up front? That was the ONLY reason I wanted the saganaki. Wow. Still good, but wow. Moving on- I asked for thousand island dressing on my salad. The poor salad came- not looking too bad, but sans dressing. I was told - 'we're sorry but we're out of Thousand Island. Ok- then I'll have ranch! And by the way- the ranch never was forthcoming. Wow. Ok- I ordered 2 3oz filet mignons with peppercorn, medium well, and a baked potato. The baked potato was fantastic; the filet mignon was lukewarm and - sorry to say- cooked only to a medium rare. I didn't send it back but should have. My hubby ordered his kebab medium but got it well done. Oh my. And all our entrees came out lukewarm; not hot at all. If they were trying to fail on our first visit ever? They were doing a good job of it. Sad. The soup was chicken rice- not fantastic but not bad. When our water ran out? We never got refills. Look - I get it. It's Christmas. No one probably wanted to work, even with overtime. But when only the bread, soup, and potato were done up right? And no refill of water? That really bothered me. I took off 2 points for the above demerits- and I think that was generous. Our server was very personable; very nice - but she was overwhelmed. And running out of one beer is probably ok - but two? And no flambe (which we should have been told to us upfront when ordering.) And lukewarm and undercooked food? Oh my. Jameson's - you lost us because you didn't try to win us over. Heck, I don't even think you tried that hard. I tried to convince myself that they are very modestly priced and that explained the above concerns. Nope. I just don't think the mgmt cared enough. I presume they get paid to impress their guests? Impress us? They did not. Sad.

    This place is very homey and cozy. They were very busy, but the service was good. I was so surprised and how delicious everything was. We have no complaints about any of the food. The portion size was perfect!! what really wowed me was the calamari! It was one of the best we've ever had!! highly recommend! the veggies were nice and crisp and seasoned perfectly. I completely recommend coming here!! we will be back!!

    Start with warm bread and soft butter.

A sweet hostess guided us through the large white table clothed dining room to a bright big windowed patio-like area in the back of the restaurant. Showing up in T-shirts and gym shoes, we assumed we would sit at the bar but after speaking the hostess we decided on the dining room apologizing for our appearance even though they were not phased. I just moved to the area and wasn't sure what to expect but Ki's is a great spot to have nearby! It has more options that your typical steakhouse. There seems to be a little bit of Greek influence, offering kababs (which were SO good), saganki and Grecian seasonings. An underdog is definitely the pot roast, not usually something I'd order off a menu but when it came to the table and I tried it, I instantly regretted not getting it as a meal. However, I was very satisfied with the cedar plank salmon I ordered that was cooked to perfection. I'm very excited to have this place nearby. I've heard awesome things about their Sunday brunch so I can't wait to return during different hours and try different things!

The first week was Peruvian. Having been here years ago (not sure if it was the same name) I already knew at the jump that this was our destination. This is an unassuming place in a strip mall, off Lake street. Upon entering you are greeted with, frankly, a beautiful bar and restaurant. The Alpacas are a great touch. We started off with some yucca cheese balls, tropical ceviche and bruschetta. We are still raving about the bruschetta a few hours later. The cheese balls were also amazing. Ceviche was fantastic, but we could have used a few additional plantains. For our meals we had a Arroz Con Pato (duck), Chaufa (a wok), and a Fettuccine à la Diabla Con Bife (steak and pasta). The best of the 3 was the Fettuccine (aka steak and fettuccine). The steak was cooked perfect, the entire thing had amazing flavor. The Arroz Con Pato looked nothing like the menu. It was very good, albeit with the duck being more on the dry side. Flavorwise though, very good. The wok, same deal - looked nothing like the menu. However the person eating it was pleased and that's all i care about. For dessert we had a passion fruit mango cheesecake which was delicious but so rich, not sure I've ever said that. Benefit to it being rich was that I brought it home to eat at my leisure. The spicy churro cake was also a hit. Service was great, it was lunchtime and one woman running both front and back of house but she did great. We loved it, and will return.

There aren't many Peruvian places in the Chicagoland area but this is better than the one in the city. We also got the passion fruit cheesecake and that was amazing.
