    April 25- Teaser Menu

    What a blast from the past! No School Tomorrow is a 90's Nostalgic bar that shows off city-like mixology. It's not often you can get on-of-a-kind cocktails in the burbs so this is a welcomed addition to Itasca. I visited on a Sunday for their $10 happy hour deals. Note that their regular menu is not available on Sundays since it's a bit of a slower day. Our server, Luis, was wonderful in making suggestions, checking in on us, and telling us all about the bar. If you've ever seen Drink Masters on Netflix, contestant Teo Zrafi was the creator of the menu here! I was able to sample a lot of the drinks available but liked the Oreo Old Fashioned, 1986 Banana, and 1991 Mint the best. The unique ingredients and fun presentations elevate each ordered cocktail. I also love that they continue to refine the menu to add new items. Overall, this was such a fun hangout spot being a 90's kid. The decor and games brought me right back to my childhood. Cocktails can come at a premium but there's a reason why! Can't wait to see what else comes down the pipeline here to come back and enjoy.

    While the atmosphere delivers on 90s nostalgia, these drinks pack a punch. Amazing flavors with scientific like preparations. Your taste buds will be bursting no matter what you get. Loved sitting at the bar to learn more from the bartender. Episode 2: extremely well balanced and earthy from the pistachio/apricot mix. Mezcal delivers a nice smoke Foie gras old fashioned: the foie gras is insane! I won't be able to drink another old fashioned again without it Spicy marg: apparently the drink the made NST a reality! We both loved this. Definitely be prepared for some spice! Dunkaroo: sweetest out of the bunch, but still solid drink. Vanilla icing in liquid form

    Savory Tomato drink.  The BLT drink is also amazing.

    The most creative cocktail bar WHERE THEY ACTUALLY PULL IT OFF. You've never seen these drinks and the balance is amazing.

    I have never heard of Fox & Turtle before, but looking at the NW Chicago Restaurant week, it looked…read moredelicious to try. I was treating my parents for my dad's birthday month (My daughter has a lot of activities, lol) and the menu appeared to have something for everyone. The 22 minute drive to Itasca was so worth it! The restaurant, which is open to the public, is on the same property as the Itasca Country Club, which is not open to the public. You go down the stairs, through the developing pizza bar, and to the restaurant. The restaurant space itself is cozy, with beautiful, natural lighting, and lots of seating options. We were asked booth or table and seated right by the picture window with beautiful views of their ice rinks and golf course. The food was above and beyond my expectations! Between the 5 people at the table, I sampled the French Onion soup, Sweet & Spicy Brussels, Bacon Smash Burger, Pot Roast Grilled Cheese, Sweet Tees (Donut Holes), Peanut Butter Smore-o, and Verde Dulce. The soup was not salty as I find some iterations, the brussels had complex flavors with hot honey, bacon, candied pistachios, and crumbled feta. The pot roast grilled cheese was very flavorful, but my boyfriend did state he wished the sandwich had more meat in it. The Sweet Tees donut holes were cooked to perfection without being oily and the jam accompaniment was a perfect texture and level of sweet. The Peanut Butter Smore-o was creamy and decadent with its perfectly ratioed layers of ganache, peanut butter mousse, Oreos, and whipped cream. The Verde Dulce, though, was the delicious classic olive oil cake with pistachio gelato & that throwback of candied pistachios from my appetizer. Even better than the food, our server, Kara, was one of the sweetest, most attentive human beings! She answered all of our questions, refilled our fountain drink and iced tea glasses when they were at 75% without prompting, made sure my dad felt celebrated with a candle, etc. Her teammate who was in charge of clearing our table was also prompt and I appreciate her asking what plates she could take. Overall, it was a beautiful late morning/early afternoon with delicious food and impeccable service. 10/10 recommend!!!

I say kids but they were sweet young men. They give you instructions and off you go. Those stones are heavier than I thought they would be. It took a lot and I have the upper body strength of a kitten so... I was struggling. Eventually I got the hang of it. OR maybe the ice got slicker and my stone went further. I think that's actually what happened. Lol! They do allow you to take drinks and appetizers out to the ice. There are warming posts and they were used. Cuz I was cold. Dinner was fabulous. Service was good and just yeah. A great time was had. I ordered the Thai Chili Salmon. So delicious. My husband ordered the Blackened Cajun Chicken Pasta. It was so cheesy but he really liked it. Our friends ordered the Jambalaya and Grilled Salmon. They also ordered dessert to go. A great time was had. Totally worth the drive. I cannot wait to go back. There is a lot for parking.

Again parking is quite a challenge, not only the immediate parking lot, but even on the street parking lot during peak hours. Valet is only available during the weekends. I do like the menu changes quite often and so I don't believe I've ever had the same thing here twice so far For this particular birthday, they were kind enough to bring a small birthday cake treat with a candle. And during this visit, I believe we had perhaps two managers who stopped by to check in on us to see how we were doing. I still gave them five stars, despite the fact that a bottle of wine that I wanted to order was already sold out. And there was nothing else similar on the menu to that particular bottle. Another great discovery during this visit was that the happy hour specials are allowed to be ordered at a table so that you don't have to sit at the bar, which was really great to see the wide application of it. Definitely would come back here again glad we scheduled a 5 PM dinner because by the time we left closer to seven this place was absolutely packed on a weeknight

Prices were fair with what everyone was charging in the area. The dance floor is small but everyone in the place was still having a good time regardless and I was dancing as well. The DJ was great and paid great music. I was there on a Julian Jumping Perez day with DJ Q. I didn't order food, but the food is connected to the restaurant in the same area which based on reviews looked great even though I never tried the food. Also, just from the looks out the banquet hall seems large enough to which is also connected which is convenient if you wanted to host like a wedding.

    Having never been bere, I planned my husband's birthday party at VLounge on a Saturday when Julian…read moreJumpin Perez was DJ'ing for "Old School Saturday". I called and spoke to with Frank and he was kind enough to reluctantly reserve a couple tables for us, only if I promised to have at least 20 people. He informed me he would charge me if I didn't show with 20 people, which I understood because after all, he could have reserved those tables for other parties and he already had a large party booked for the bar. I started to get nervous about a week before after reading many negative reviews about the place, including reviews stating people were discriminated against, forced to leave, had horrible service from their waitress, etc. I couldn't be happier with the way the night turned out and the way in which we were treated. When we arrived, there was a coat check available and the lobby was beautiful! I was very impressed with the ambience and decor. Our group included many people from diverse backgrounds including black, white, Asian, etc. I didn't feel discriminated against at all and our waitress, although extremely busy, was always checking on us and took care of our needs. She recommended some amazing drinks and despite what other reviews stated, was happy to keep separate tabs for people in our group. One of the men working that night bought my husband a drink for his birthday and at one point the DJ announced everyone's birthdays and the staff brought out a large piece of cake for each of the people there who were celebrating their birthday. I expected an older crowd since I read that VLounge attracted older people but that's what we were looking for since we are not as young as we used to be and would stick out like a sore thumb at any club, yet still wanted a sort of club experience. The crowd was a bit older than I even expected but everyone was nice and there to have a good time. We didn't experience anyone being rude and the dance floor was poppin'! I was pleasantly surprised! I have nothing but good things to say. The drinks were priced reasonably with a good amount of alcohol in them. The calamari was absolutely amazing! The ranch dressing, which one reviewer stated was disgusting, was one of the best I've had. I was happy they actually had ranch dressing because most Italian places do not have ranch. You can tell it's homemade, too and it was the perfect dipping sauce for their calamari. The calamari came out nice and hot and crispy and there were no ro rubbery pieces or weird looking pieces (like usual) that nobody wants to eat and are just left on the plate as waste. The place was PACKED, so of course our server was not able to keep up with the empty glasses and plates on our table but that did not impact our night in any way. I read one negative review stating that the empties were not removed from the table fast enough. I think sometimes people just look for something to complain about because it was completely understandable, considering the amount of people our waitress was serving and how hard it was to move around in the room. The bathrooms were clean but at one point in the night, there was a girl in the stall next to mine throwing up and it was all over the floor, including splashing all the way over into my stall and onto my shoes. It was pretty disgusting but when I exited the stall, I was happy to see staff in the restroom trying to take care of the situation. I believe many of the negative reviews I previously read were unfortunately from people who wanted to come for the free entertainment and were too cheap to spend any money on drinks or food or were not dressed appropriately. Furthermore, any reviewer claiming discrimination...it is my opinion that the reviewer must have been rude or had to have done something to warrant a negative response from the employee. I do not feel any if the employees were discrimanatory. Either that or it was an isolated situation and thankfully, we didn't have that experience! I do wish the staff had nametags so I could have known my server's name or I could have met Frank, considering I was speaking to him on and off the few weeks prior to our event. It also would've been nice to know the gentleman's name who was working the room when we were there and interacting with our group, since he was extremely cordial and professional. All of our guests told us what a fun time they had and what a nice place VLounge was. We don't get out much these days due to our children being young but I do hope we get a chance to go back! I urge you to give VLounge a chance and check it out for yourself! You won't be disappointed!

The Fritto Misto was delicious. I love the variety of seafood was in it. For drinks, I ordered the Peach Blossom and I really enjoyed it. It was fruity and not very strong but that's just how I like my cocktails. For entree, I order the octopus. I'm usually picky when it comes to octopus but I thought it was cooked well. It was tender and has a nice char grill flavor. I tried my friend's frutti di mare pasta in both the white and red sauce and both pastas were very good. I usually like white sauce but I actually preferred the red one. We pretty much ordered all the desserts on the menu. We order the cannoli board, crème brûlée, lava cake, and tiramisu. If there is one dessert you need to get, it is the tiramisu. It's probably one of my top places to get tiramisu now. All the other desserts were good but the tiramisu was outstanding.

But once again, everything we ordered was very tasty and good. Ordered the Tuna Carpaccio, Grilked Octopus, today's special (it was a lobster busiate), and Tiramisu for dessert

When I was a kid I use to go to the Des Plaines Theater & watch movies for 60 cents (ahhh nostalgia trip down memory lane), but I digress The speakeasy inside the Des Plaines Theater is an awesome idea. The show was awesome but the one MAJOR MAJOR issue I have is the bartender who continued to serve my sister's friend. He was obviously very very drunk to a point where he could barely walk wo/stumbling. He was slurring his words. Both my sister & I asked the bartender not to serve him anymore alcohol but she kept serving him drinks even after we asked. She continued to serve him even after we asked her not to. When he and my sister left she told me he tried to put the key in the ignition 14X's before she convinced him to let her drive. Your bartender's need to be aware of a persons level of intoxication. Both my sister & I asked her not to serve him anymore drinks but she continued to serve him. Thank God my sister was able to convince him to let her drive home otherwise what was an excellent evening could have ended tragically.

There was a show that evening, when we entered the theater, the usher asked to see our tickets. I asked how to get to the speakeasy and the usher pointed to the elevator, take it to the second floor. Once we got to the second floor, more ushers greeted us and informed us there's a jazz band performing and small cover charge. As soon as we paid and entered through the bookshelf, the room was beautifully arranged as a lounge with fancy and vintage sofas and couches. Kind of reminds me of someone grandma's house. The bar had snacks available, otherwise more drink options. The band played good songs too. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and jazz fan.
