In short....we experienced the best meal we've had in a very long time. All courses were served in a timely manner and tasted outstanding! Our server, Olivia was extremely competent and professional and looking around at how sharp the rest of the staff looked and behaved, we knew we were in a well run restaurant. Chis the GM visited a couple times to check on things and even assisted when required. Nice to see leadership care enough to roll up their sleeves to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. Kudos to the entire staff and the owners. We had an extremely memorable evening. We'll be back. Absolutely worth the long drive!

Bar Gabi was fantastic! This has been on my list to try for a while, and it did not disappoint…read more My rhubarb gimlet was delicious, and our server was kind enough to bring out a skewer of Castelvetrano olives stuffed with Gorgonzola because I was torn between trying the new drink and ordering a dirty martini just so I could try those olives. Such a nice touch! And it just kept getting better from there. The lamb skewers and beet salad were delicious. The octopus was incredibly tender, and I loved the peppers that came with it. My friend insisted we order the mushrooms, and I'm so glad I listened because they were spectacular, with wonderful roasted garlic flavor. The seafood pasta had the perfect amount of spice. Just wonderful. Service was attentive throughout the evening, and as someone who drinks a LOT of water, I appreciated that our pitcher never went empty. This was the perfect place for us because we wanted to visit, linger, and enjoy the evening. It might not be the best choice if you're in a hurry, but that's part of the charm. Come prepared to enjoy yourself, take your time, and order the mushrooms!

I'm going to preface this by saying that I think I might just not be an Italian Beef kinda gal…read more Despite living in Chicago for a full decade I embarrassingly never had one before, but I was near Matt & Mo's and saw the rave reviews and had to give it a try. Now, objectively I can say it's very good. The portions are huge, the meat is flavorful and juicy, the peppers were good. There's just some herb or something mixed in there in the marinade/aus jus, that I just don't think I like (I think it might be fennel? Something kind of licorice-y that I don't jive with). But if you're an Italian beef fan, or enjoy that flavor profile, you're gonna love it! Now, what I did love was everything else! The fried ravioli? Delicious! The french fries? So good! And a very generous portion of both! Service was also VERY friendly and everything was prepared quite quickly! It's a walk up window but there are some picnic tables for dining there, though I chose to eat in my car before making my way back home. I would 100% come back by and go for perhaps a sausage or a coney dog next time, definitely stick with orders of those ravioli and fries, too!

Matt & Mo's is located inside the ice cream shop, Doug's Delight. Its most notable menu item is the…read moreItalian beef sandwich. The sandwich originated in Chicago, so I like that Matt & Mo's has a replica of Wrigley Field's ivy wall. On the flip side, I didn't like being charged a 4% fee for paying with a card. My wife ordered a pepperoni pizza puff along with French fries. The pizza puff fell apart too easily, and was basically a larger version of a Totino's pizza roll. The fries were standard. With my sandwich, I ordered poutine. The consistency and flavor of the gravy made the poutine much better than average. As for the Italian beef, it did not disappoint. I regret getting just sweet peppers, as I should have gotten either hot or mild peppers with the sweet. I did get the whole sandwich dipped in au jus, which was the right move. This was my first time having an Italian beef, so it's hard to judge, but I definitely enjoyed it. Next time, I will bring cash to pay, and might even try some of the other menu items. I look forward to trying Doug's Delight, as well.

They had 4 different menus for each week and I happened to try their 1st and last week's menu which we loved so much. Service was excellent as they were very well versed with the variety they were serving, it was a 6-7 course tasting style. They even packed up the leftovers themselves which was very helpful. A special mention to their non alcoholic beverage pairing they were promoting with the food tasting menu. While I chose wine from the ala carte section, I saw on other tables those beverages which I would like to try next time for sure. All items were amazing, summer melon salad being my favorite that had melon, cucumbers, mint, cheese(?), coconut milk, roasted nuts and basil at the minimum that I want to recreate again

Granted I did have to ask for them to be remade since the first batch was burned (cooks nowadays try to service only the lighter side up as if our taste buds won't notice the burnt side on the back ) but the server was gracious and acknowledged the oversight offering to have them remade. The skillet was an excellent choice with lots of flavor and loved having guac and sour cream as a topping. I'd happily eat here again. It was quite busy for a Saturday but we didn't wait long to be seated and served. It a bustling restaurant with plenty of seating options.

The servers are all well trained, and highly professional. The food is fantastic. The menu is the standout; it is very creative and has something for everyone. Let's start with their breakfast. This is probably the best breakfast/brunch place in town. Too bad they're only open weekends for breakfast. Whenever we have family back in town or friends from out of town, this is our go to place. Casual relaxed, friendly with quality food. If you haven't been here for breakfast, I would highly recommend it. The only comment I have is they don't open for breakfast until a little bit later in the morning. Usually, there is a line out out front waiting for them to open. We've had most things on the menu and to be truthful, not one thing has disappointed. Dinner: we don't get here too often for dinner because in my mind, this is our go to breakfast place. Last week we tried it for dinner and again, very pleasantly surprised at the professionalism of the wait staff, the quality of the food, and the overall dining experience. Whoever transformed his place from a hipster beer hall to a quality dining experience did a great job. Kudos to them!
