I had no idea what to expect other than hoping for as great of an experience as the reviews I read…read more I was a little apprehensive about it being at someone's home instead of a restaurant or business, but it was probably even better I set this up for a work team bonding event. We ended up being only 5 minutes late, but Chef Titik was so welcoming. The only thing should have been a disclosure about having pets and potential allergies. She made us a welcome drink which was very tasty. She told us a little about herself and experience as a chef. We learned so much inclusive of knife sharpening techniques to how to properly cut fruits and vegetables, putting together seasoning, tips and tricks, and some facts about food. She even took photos of us and shared them. She made us feel like family at home having us over for dinner helping cook. It was such a memorable experience and so unique and perfect for my team. We all love food and travel so this is definitely one for the books. We all had a blast and would highly recommend.

I ended up getting the recipe emailed to me by the chef months later. I would still recommend Cozymeal and think their chefs are knowledgable (as was mine), hope this doesn't happen again and think it was a one off hiccup.

My husband and I landed on the "Thanksgiving Feast" menu to get us prepped and excited for the upcoming holidays. Our instructor, Stephanie, was wonderful! Took the time to explain technique and the "why" behind what we were doing, whereas, other classes are just running through a recipe. The format of these classes was really unique too. Instead of breaking off into smaller groups to cook individual meals, you work together as a class to cook a single meal. Once everything is all said and done, you sit down family-style and dig in! Needless to say, we had an incredible time, and are planning on incorporating some of the recipes into our own Thanksgiving tradition!

My go to spot every time I'm in Chicago!…read more We love everything about this store and the specials they offer. When you arrive, it looks like a grocery store/food stalls with product specials right inside. It's always something different but great deals! On the first floor is check out and an area to grab quick bites including pizza, fresh sandwiches, and gelato. We always head upstairs to the grocery and wine area - there are also more food stalls and a restaurant. Our favorite is the fresh bread and then charcuterie section. This is a must stop in Chicago!

We have never been here before and saw they offered a summer Fridays tasting event. The event…read moreitself I wouldn't recommend - they give you tiny sample portions of preselected items on paper hotdog containers. Considering this place is supposed to have some class, we were pretty appalled that they seemed to do the bare minimum for this event. I felt very deceived by how this event was advertised online vs in real life. It seems they intentionally left out details and was marketed as five tastings at five counters, but we receieved barely a sample at each sation. The website said 1. house made pasta - you have one option and it was three bites, no vegetarian option 2. roman-style pizza - only thing I won't complain about although still a small portion 3. Curated drink from Caffe Lavazza - this was a dixie cup portion of a blended Frappuccino 4. house made pastry - they gave you the option of literal bite sized dessert, not a whole pastry 5. the artisanal salumi and formaggi - pathetic, literally 1 piece of meat, three pieces of the same type of cheeses, three olives, and dry stale crackers. Honestly for what they offer this was a slap in the face and from a consumer perspective Eataly's attempt at a summer money making scheme. I would find it hard to believe anyone who rave about this event, in fact I imagine most left very underwhelmed and still hungry. Eataly itself might be a great experience but we did not have the opportunity. We enjoyed the spritz drinks we ordered for their $9 summer special but this event did not make me want to return at all. It unfortunately dangled everything they could have offered in front of us, but then gave us the lowest tier. Driving in traffic to do this was not worth the time, gas, parking or inconvenience and the best part of our city night was when we stepped out of Eataly.

Amazing pasta | Best waitress in Chicago | Cool atmosphere…read more Came for a late dinner and had a great time. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the atmosphere is fun, and the cocktails are solid. I had the espresso martini and the 100 Year Old Cigar. Both were good, although I think Gilt Bar's sister restaurants have the stronger cocktail game. My Tinder matches: Onion Rings: Immediate super-like. Gorgeous, exciting, and I'd absolutely swipe right again. French Fries: Matched, chatted for a bit, then realized there was no chemistry. Unmatched. Truffle Mafaldine: Very attractive, great personality, and definitely getting my number. Strong long-term potential. Cookie: Cute. We went on a casual date, I had a couple bites, and I'm open to seeing where things go. But honestly, our waitress was the real reason this went so well. She was personable, attentive, and somehow managed to make the whole experience feel effortless. When one of us mentioned not eating dairy, she even brought us a free gelato. Overall: Would swipe right. Would exchange numbers. Would see again. Definitely recommend.

The meatballs were great as an appetizer, the tomato sauce was seasoned well and there was enough for each meatball (came with 5). The burger was phenomenal- super juicy and cooked to perfection, and very large. The spicy vodka rigatoni was great - spiced just right and not overly spicy (coming from someone that has a very low spice tolerance). The salmon was to die for- super juicy and tender piece of fish and it flaked right on the fork. We also got the carbonara which was good, but could have used a little more salt / seasoning as it was a little bland. The Brussel sprouts were a stand out - super flavorful, cooked just right and were tender but not mushy. We fought over these!! Service was attentive and we felt taken care of! Will be dining here again as it's a hit every time with the food, and the ambiance is so fun and lively! Definitely recommend for dinner for a date night or special event!!

Perilla Korean Steakhouse -- Chicago…read more We had a very successful brunch at Perilla. The Kimchi Bloody Mary was definitely one of the highlights. Being from New Orleans, I personally like my Bloody Mary a little spicier and with a little more of that NOLA kick, but this was still a really good option and a fun Korean twist on a classic brunch drink. The food was excellent and gave us plenty of variety. The Korean tray was a great choice, along with the bibimbap and avocado toast. Everything came together really well, and there was enough variety that everyone could find something they enjoyed. Overall, it was a great brunch experience with good food, interesting drinks, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different from the typical Chicago brunch. We were looking forward to the Korean donuts unfortunately they sell out early sometimes so if that's something you're getting for For, you might want to get there earlier in the day. We had reservations at 12:30 pm and they were sold out. The service was good.

We were disappointed to hear that they didn't have a bartender at the time and weren't able to have any cocktails. We started with the pork mandu, which were very tasty. The shell was light and crispy. My toddler really enjoyed them too. We ordered two Korean breakfast trays - one with ribeye and one with makerel. The makerel was a little tough and dry. Banchan is always fun, but it looked better than it tasted. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and enjoyed it. He had it before and likes the english muffin. I thought the bulgogi sausage patty was a little salty. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes. They were very thick and impressive, but dry. And we finished with the korean milk donut, which was the best thing we all had. The service was slow, despite there not being too many people dining at the time. The restaurant itself is beautiful and decorated nicely. This is also not a kid-friendly restaurant as there was no high-chair and they did not recognize my 3 year old as needing a plate, silverware, or cup. It was a pricey meal, the food didn't meet our expectations, and the service also fell short. Maybe their dinner or Korean BBQ is better, but we don't plan to come back.

Hey friends! It's been minute. Sorry, I've been socializing but here's the deets!…read more This is my first time coming to this restaurant and I'm quite happy to say it went very well. Now, as always these are my opinions and I think you should still try dishes I do not favor; tastebuds vary. App: Wagyu beef & Crudo. 20/10 so amazing. Wagyu beef is served warmed with mint and other greens. Crudo had the perfect crunch and spice. The Wagyu appetizer was so delicious I made it a meal with rice. Very filling. The sticky rice I originally ordered was very burnt. I understand "that's how it's made" but Sunda would never. Basically, I've had sticky rice that was burned and tasted so. Not a favorite at all. I swapped the sticky rice for Jasmin rice and it was fabulous. The espresso martini had a sweet licorice taste. I sent it back for the milk punch! The milk punch is delicious. Not milt but a smooth filtered creamy taste. It's not milt at all it's actually clear. 20/10 There's a slo a Resiling we had a the table. It was very delicious! I had 2 lol. Overall, I'd go back and plan to. The ambiance was fabulous. I'd recommend yellows, greens, blues, blacks, blush, jeweled tones for your outfit colors. I chose black bodysuit, jean, scarf, leather jacket, and gold shoes paired with a studded leather clutch. 20/10 experience. Follow me for more .

We ordered like the PERFECT amount of food and best variety. Roast duck: I honestly don't know if I've ever had duck before, but I'm a duck believer now. The skin on theirs was the perfect crispy shatter texture and the duck was sooooo juicy! I don't know why I was always so worried about it being gamey. They give you fluffy steamed bao buns, a sauce, and scallions on the side as well as duck fried rice! Turnip cake: Obviously a must any time I come to dim sum. I've never seen turnip in any other form than this. Japanese salt & pepper tofu: My FAVORITE dish ever. Any fried salt & pepper tofu always makes me happy. They use a creamy egg-like tofu and the outside is lightly crispy with amazing aromatics stir fried in. Steamed white rice on the side is perfect with this. Loved everything else my dinner buds picked and we were super full by the end! Service was good and food came out fast and scorching hot! ***Parking in the area is treacherous (not the restaurants fault, but reconsider driving if possible bc cell signal can be zero to none around the garages if you get lucky) ***Their website allows you to request a reservation as long as it's 3 hours before your desired time. We came on a Saturday evening around dinner time and there was plenty of room for us to get a table immediately as walk-ins!

They do have a little dessert/coffee counter in the front of the restaurant where it connects to the hospital, which is kind of convenient if you want something sweet after dinner. We didn't try anything, but the cookies were huge. My husband and I both ordered the wild mushroom teriyaki bowl. I added shrimp to mine and he added chicken. The bowl didn't have much flavor and the vegetables were really hard and barely cooked. The kids got the chicken strips and fries. They were ok as expected.
