    Three bouncers that denied entrance to my group and I because we were black and Latino. Had us outside for over 30 min for nothing.
    Dee-Dee W.

    By far one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar and this was my first time here. First, my group and I were told $20 for entry when no else was being charged before or after. Second, they wouldn't allow us to enter changing the reason each time (too crowded, reservations needed, someone must leave for one to enter, etc.). However, those that came after us were allowed in. Everyone in my group is black or Latino and it became obvious why we weren't being let in after we'd been waiting patiently for close to thirty minutes. They started to call us "belligerent" when some showed they were upset and voiced the racism being displayed. This was my first and last time here. I won't be giving money to a business that refuses proper treatment because my skin is darker. Just disappointed because I always heard good things about this place. Then I experience it and I'm appalled by how my group was handled. I'm not sure if I'm more hurt by knowing I was discriminated against because of my skin or disappointed because somewhere I thought was great and excited to finally experience denied me of that. I made a yelp just so I could post a review. That should say a lot alone.

    Chicken Tenders served on a school lunch tray with crayons & coloring sheet.

    I am very torn writing this review but I'm just going to be real. Word on the street is this is the new "IT" spot w/ famous celebrity sightings such as: Chance the Rapper being a regular, Scottie Pippen rolling through (how old is that guy now anyway & why is he still clubbing), and Kehlani was in attendance the night before we decided to check this place out. Since January the social media marketing hype has been full throttle. All gravel Spot Hero parking lot is right next door and immediately my first impression of the building was negative bc the parking lot was wider than the actual club. Sure enough we stepped inside and it had a super narrow layout. Arriving early we decided to order food and if you decide to do the same I would advise to play it safe and stick with the burger. We had over priced scrawny chicken tenders and the saddest adult Lunchables called Boxables that was meant to be a nostalgic charcuterie. This rendition couldn't get anymore terrible. The meats & cheeses in the sectional container were low grade & tasteless. Admitting, one of the worst restaurant items I've ever eaten My friend ordered two different juice box flavors: unicorn & lime cucumber. The unicorn was terrible not to mention the straw (they re-use & wash) still had lipstick stains on it. She sent it back and asked for another lime cucumber but this time, straw-less. They do let you keep the juice boxes but I think it's upon request. Those left over are recycled. Next we maneuvered upstairs. We were wearing light leather jackets so it wasn't mandatory to put them in coat check. However, I highly advise you check them in anyway bc it gets hot & sweaty. Our night turned around for the better bc to my surprise I ran into a long time friend who happens to be security here. He was kind enough to let us chill in members club. This was super helpful and made all the difference in the world bc the club packed out to capacity. Totally grateful for this and this portion of the night was 4 star worthy. Security also deserves 4 stars bc they were watching the crowd and keeping things in order. Members Club entrance is located in the rear, take another flight up to a balcony w/ 3 sectional seating areas & DJ booth that over looks the crowd. You can pay a yearly members fee and roll through whenever you like with all the usual bottle service amenities. I don't remember what that fee is. Not to be mistaken, VIP tables are located on the club level along the walls. Instead of using the traditional torch sparklers for bottle service light sabers are used, inflatable birthday cakes, and light up flowers. Safe, tech-y, futuristic. Club light display & ambiance was really fun. Music was great. The DJ played a wide variety of music & the crowd seemed more than happy. Standard 20 Something's crowd w/ scattered older aged men. The typical scene. Overall, the biggest cons were the food & narrow layout. If we didn't have the opportunity in members club, I probably wouldn't be a happy camper chillin without a table on the main floor. We left around 1 or 2 am (daylight savings time) and the line was still a block long. The club is open until 4 am & people were determined to wait for a chance at entry. I will say, every server we had was excellent and had kind demeanor. Special shout to my friend. Thanks again for all you did for us that night!

    They say it's reservation only.... but if you barely have anything on you get in without a reservation! Definitely not culture friendly.

Even the "decorated" side of the bar was empty and not being served at that bar. I walked over to take pictures of that side but I wasn't sure I was supposed to lol.

I ordered the "Dope Drip Original" Tamafongo, and a Chicken Empanada. The service was kind, and the food came out after about 10 minutes, which was a little longer than I would hope for, but still within acceptable limits. The Empanada was fresh from the fryer, and even 10 minutes after being handed it, it was still blindingly hot on the inside. This thing was well sized, and did not at all skimp on the protein! The thing was completely filled with a flavorful chicken, with just the right amount of spinach to add a flavor without becoming even a cousin of rabbit food (I'm a carnivore, if you didn't know!). Also, I don't know how it is prepared or what is added, but it is, true to form, tender and even a bit creamy! My only complaint is that the sauce requested carried a small extra charge, and was only a half-filled small ramekin. Speaking of tender, let me tell you about the Tamafongo! It was superbly well balanced! It also did not skimp on very tender beef, but at the same time has a corresponding amount of plantain for starch, sauce for added savory flavor, and the use of broth only served to help the ingredients get to know each other, and added moisture.Was this dish as mind blowing as something I'd had at The Purple Pig? No. It was, however, simple, homestyle cooking! When it comes to value, considering the portion sizes, $7 for the Tamafongo and $4 for the Empanada feels extremely reasonable. Besides, where can one find a good, filling meal that isn't all carbs and oil for $11? Final verdict: I think the most dope thing about Dope Drip is that they deliver on something that is increasingly hard to find. That being homestyle meals that are relatively guilt-free, at reasonable prices to boot!

Price wise it is a bit pricey coming out to ~$24 with a soda - but this feels like the going rate for non-fast food restaurants in the city.

For parking you definitely should use Spothero or ParkWhiz, as it's in a very busy/lively part of River North. We loved meeting the owner who was chatting with and checking on guests in the dining room. The menu was really creative and sounded amazing, totally up my alley, so was super excited to try Ila's out for the first time. Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, but the food itself was a miss for me, and the prices felt steep for the portions. We ordered the empanada duo, grilled scallops, birria lamb pierogis, and sweet corn agnolotti, then the Japanese cheesecake and drip coffee. The positives were that everything tasted fresh, and the flavors of the dishes were good ~ especially the empanadas, scallops, and agnolotti. The main issue was the texture of some of the foods. Other than the empanada (which had a great texture and flavor), the agnolotti and pierogi dough were not right ~ thick, rubbery, and dry, which was exacerbated by not having enough consommé for the pierogis. And the coffee - it honestly tasted like Folgers (though I'll give them the benefit of the doubt) - which took me aback as it was a $7 drip coffee. I'm not discounting Ila's and I truly wish them success. But I think there's some work to be done in terms of execution.
