The space has a cozy, neighborhood feel, and I love that it's a little different from the typical restaurant options in the area. The menu has a fun mix of elevated comfort food and café favorites.The MilkStop Chilaquiles and the shaved prime rib sandwich both caught my eye, ended up choosing the staple which was so delicious. I also really liked the location. It's in the West End of La Grange, a little farther from the main restaurant cluster, so it feels like you're making a little neighborhood discovery rather than just stopping at one of the obvious places downtown. Overall, I love the concept and the personality of this place. Cute atmosphere, good food, and a nice spot to slow down and actually catch up with someone. Definitely worth the walk/drive a little farther out!

Cute spot for brunch (though the rest of their menu looks good as well!) in La Grange…read more We were able to eat a late brunch around noon on Saturday without having made a reservation. They had a list of fun Bloody Mary's. My husband ended up getting the Flamin' Hot one, which came with Flamin' Hot Cheetos. He said the flavor was good. I ordered a chocolate croissant. At first, I questioned that it wasn't toasted or crispy, but I actually ended up really liking the texture and flavor. It was not too sweet. I ordered the shakshuka for my entree. I was told it would be very spicy. I am someone who eats a lot of spicy food, so I thought the spice level was very tolerable. The flavors were good. I was happy to have some leftovers to take home.

I wish they opened up earlier than 8am during the week. I typically have coffee around 630-7am but I can understand why they open at 8am if they aren't busy until 8-9ish. I stopped in a little after 8 and the door was still locked. I'm going to guess I was the first customer of the day. When I walked in there was a sewer stench that was over powering. My guess is this might be normal for them - 1 of the staff members was spraying Lysol to get rid of the smell. I ordered via the front counter and got the rose Cardamom latte. This drink is on the pricey side, $8 without having a non dairy milk substitute. The flavor makes up for it though. It was delicious and refreshing!

Wooden Paddle was a really good surprise. A little more upscale, but still comfortable. It was…read morekinda empty when we went. You can see the pizza ovens from the seats. Smells amazing the whole time. Staff was great. Sean helped us out and gave some solid recommendations. We went with the pepperonly pizza. When it hit the table, the presentation looked amazing. First bite... that was it. The crust had that perfect crunch on the outside but still soft inside. You could taste that wood-fired char, just enough to give it that smoky edge. The cheese was melted just right, stretchy and hot. The sauce had a nice balance, a little tangy, a little sweet, not overpowering anything. The pepperoni was the best part. Crispy on the edges, a little oily in a good way, and full of flavor. Every bite just worked. Thin, balanced, nothing too heavy. If you like pizza, this is one of those spots you gotta try. I'd go back for that one easy.

We stopped by Wooden Paddle in La Grange and ordered the "Just Send It" platter to share, the Snap…read moreInto It salad, and the Buzzkill pizza. The food was really good! Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and we enjoyed what we ordered. The Buzzkill pizza was delicious, and the appetizer platter was a great option for the table. Unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. It took about 10 minutes before anyone came over to seat us, another 10-15 minutes before someone took our order, and when our Snap Into It salad arrived (for a party of three), it only came with two pieces of bread, so we had to ask for a third. At the end of the meal, we waited around 20 minutes just to get our check. The surprising part was that the restaurant wasn't busy at all, so the slow service was hard to understand. The food was definitely the highlight, but because of the overall service experience, I don't think I'd return.

I would definitely recommend it and can't wait to come back!

I got the Italian sub, it came with mortadella, hot capicola, Genoa salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, and vinegar on Italian bread. First bite, I was like yes... this is it. The flavor just hits right, salty, tangy, and a little spicy from the capicola. Bread had that perfect chew, not too soft, not rock hard. Maybe could've been a little toastier but that's just me, but honestly, it was solid. We also got the Turkey Cobb. Roasted turkey, blue cheese, and applewood smoked bacon on thick sourdough with avocado. That one was so good. The blue cheese really stood out, packed a flavorful punch that tied it all together. Portions were generous too, I didn't even finish it all in one go. I'd definitely come back and try the other sandwiches.

They currently have their winter menu right now and I ended up ordering the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wrap with sweet potato fries. Definitely a healthier bite on their menu but it was still packed with so much flavor and the perfect buffalo kick. For appetizers I ordered the Tempura Shrimp and I really liked that ALL the food came out steaming hot. I didn't catch our waitress's name but she was informative and kind from the beginning. She even told us they host comedy shows there, which is such a nice touch. I will definitely be returning, especially once warmer Chicago days arrive and their patio can fully be enjoyed.

The bar had a very nice selection of cocktails and we got the pisco sours - which were mixed well. For starters - we got the grilled spanish octopus. Any place there is octopus, we order it. Marco's octopus was definitely a shining star. We thoroughly enjoyed it and despite not being eggplant fans, it was a great pairing. We also got the grilled romaine salad and Soubise soup (french onion) and while I loved the soup (especially on a cold day) - my husband thought the salad was just okay - nothing that would entice him to order it again. For entrees - I got the filet gorgonzola and he got one of the seafood specials - I think it was salmon. Both entrees were fine - and my filet reheated nicely the next day - but nothing outstanding. Overall - a good restaurant - but again - nothing outstanding.

I had no issue with that as I'm sure it makes people return the containers. We did not care for the food and chose not to try the service again. When I returned the glass containers (admittedly a few months later, but they were returned) I was informed that you have to use their service eight times to get the deposit back. This was the first I heard of it because I would never have agreed. Why would I agreed to use a service for eight times before I even know if I liked it?! Chef Beau said that the policy was explained to me in a "myriad if ways". This is simply not true. He is now refusing to return my $150 deposit even though he has his glass containers back. This is theft of my money as he has his property. It's simple - you charge a deposit for an item, the item gets to return you give back the deposit. Do not use the service!
