The salads were super flavorful and delish, everything tasted fresh, and the service was quick. Love that the food is made to order too. One thing I'd suggest... order one of the Specialty Salads and just add extra ingredients if you want more. Doing the "Make Your Own" option can end up costing a lot more. Definitely coming back again!

Had a really nice experience at Salad House overall. The staff was genuinely friendly and…read morewelcoming, which immediately made the visit feel pleasant. The restaurant itself was very clean, bright, and well-maintained, and the space just felt fresh and inviting. We tried a mix of dishes including the Green Goddess Salad, Thai Peanut Salad, Greek Salad, Roasted Vegetables Salad, and the Santa Fe Wrap. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were great for a meal that feels light but still filling. The Green Goddess dressing was honestly the standout for me, super creamy, flavorful, and so good. Overall, such a solid option when you are craving something fresh and lighter. Definitely a place I would come back to.

Wowowow Kala lived up to all the hype I've heard about it!…read more I ordered from door dash & it was still good when it got to my apartment. The grilled veggies and shrimp were soooo good but the frozen greek yogurt stole the show. IT WAS SO GOOD. This was not fake frozen yogurt like froyo. This was legit frozen yogurt. Perfectly tart and creamy and not super sweet at all. The cherries and pistachios on top were amazing and added a saltiness that went great with the yogurt. Cannot wait to order from here again

Best Greek spot in town!…read more The food is so flavorful and delicious. We started off with the zucchini and it was paired with feta and I believe a yogurt sauce. You order on your phone online and they bring the food to your table and the water glasses are self service. Our food came out fairly quick. I ordered the shrimp bowl with half salad and half rice and it was delicious. Everything tasted very fresh and the sauces paired perfectly with the shrimp. We grabbed a quick dinner before heading to the Cubs game and we left very satisfied. Will be coming back here the next time I'm in town!

Nothing was crunchy or made me feel the price was worth the nearly $15 I paid. The word mezza does mean small bites, but this is ridiculous. I'm looking around at other diners and what they're eating, and yeah...I got fooled big time. They need photos by each meal so I can decide just how tragic their little salads are for the amount of money they want for each. Nice clean place, though.

This place was a very happy find! In the area, with a large group, looking for a pizza spot and…read moresome of us didn't want pizza and this literally was across the street. We bopped in and little to our surprise, it was the best decision we made all day. I got the shawarma bowl with gryo and the garlic sauce fries and wow, everything was to die for. I wish I wasn't just visiting Chicago so this place was more accessible to me everyday. But I fear i'd go broke if this was in my city. This is a great quick lunch option especially if visiting the zoo/park/beach area. Everything felt light, fresh, and healthy. It felt a little pricey for me but it's Chicago so it may be normal so take that as you will but for how delicious and the amazing ingredients it's worth it. Especially that dang pink sauce on the fries....you've got to get the garlic sauce fries if you check this place out. Some of the most beautiful and tasty fries i've ever had! The atmosphere is cute and bright too. A happy place to eat lunch and hang out in! I'm not from Chicago so i'm already missing this place! Add to your "must try" list for sure!

The atmosphere was great for our 6 person group for brunch! Service was fantastic…read more A very nice ambiance that wasn't too loud for a brunch at 11am where we could all hear each other, sat at a round table so we could see each other. That part was lovely because often I find that with larger groups it's hard to ensure everyone is able to interact (especially since I was taking my parents) Lamb shakshuka was a winner in my book!! So flavorful and perfect hearty brunch. The skewers my parents got were wonderfully cooked. Others got a more standard scrambled egg breakfast that they said was nothing special. Definitely opt for a Mediterranean breakfast if you're at a Mediterranean spot imo.

I was really disappointed with my experience at Ema. The portions were much smaller than expected,…read moreespecially considering the prices. The biggest issue was that our drink glasses had a terrible odor, as if they hadn't been washed properly. We mentioned it to the manager, who promptly replaced the glasses, and the new ones did not have the smell, which confirmed there was an issue with the original ones. I ordered the short ribs, which cost $35 and the portion was extremely small. One of the pieces was also mostly fat, leaving very little actual meat. For the price, I expected a much better-quality dish and a more satisfying portion. Overall, the experience did not live up to the restaurant's reputation or pricing. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

Was craving a burger and a beer and with such a cool name, how could I not check this place out! I…read moresat at the bar around 5pm and it wasn't very busy. They played good music and wasn't too loud. You could easily carry on a conversation or , like me, continue listening to a podcast. By the time I finished, the place was completely full and a bit noisy, but not bad. I started out with a 10oz Birds of Prey Pilsner. It was very nice. Light and crisp and very easy to drink. I followed that up with Melodious Maibock and ordered the CBG burger with fries. I didn't have lunch so I dove right in and forgot to snap a photo. It was a very good smash burger. It was cooked well and I really liked the combination of pickled onion and caramelized onion. I didn't see it until later but you can add bacon. As much as I loved this burger, bacon would totally take it up a notch! I started chatting with the bartender about their different beers and decided to have the Super Melodious Jalapeño Maibock with the burger. It's soooo different, but in a good way. It paired so well with the burger. You get green bell pepper on the nose and a hint of it on the palate. When you swallow you get a little heat at the back of the throat. It was so good! Great bar. Great food. Great beer. Go check them out!

Good, not great, beer…read more Good, not great, service. Awesome location! We only came for beer and sat at a table (bar was full). This place seems to be much better as a dinner spot. If you want to hang out at a brewery and drink amazing beer, I'd probably choose one of the other breweries in town.

(Kari's Rating 9.25/10)…read more This is one of my favorite salad chains, and I'm also including everything from Cava to Freshii. What is 63 it's a little bit a criminal that my salad ends up being like $25 every time, but I do get two meals out of it. I like to say that this location is nice because it's not in the loop so people that are working from home can you come here and it's not too busy. My only complaint is sometimes if you do order from the mobile app the portions are much smaller. I always get the modified Shroomami and I do quinoa instead of the purple rice. The river rice isn't bad, but sometimes it's a little bit overcooked and soggy. It does depend on what time of day you go to this location how fresh everything is, so if you care about that, I would go sooner than later. To save myself some money, sometimes I bring my own tomatoes from home, so it doesn't count as a topping. But, overall, I do like this location compared to most!
