First time at Tap House tonight, here are some thoughts:…read more -They have a really good menu. I'd like to go back and try 3 or 4 other things on the menu : ) -The centerpiece of the Tap House is the bar, surrounded by tables, larger feel with many TVs. -I ordered the fish and chips. Plenty of fish and it was good, not great. Plenty of fries that were good, not great. Overall, I would recommend.

We had been regulars here for the last three years, and recently they have changed their kitchen…read more Now, it is outsourced from Gigi's Wine Bar and Bistro, Barrington, IL. The fryer is still dedicated GF, which is a plus. This was our first night eating with the new menu, and disappointed to say the least. As GF, Celiacs, my partner and I used to enjoy eating the wings, BBQ sauce, tacos, pasta, pork shanks, and multiple items on the menu. Now, the wings are half fried/half grilled (strange texture), BBQ sauce is NOT SAFE, along with the pasta. Tacos are vegetarian, the only taco is a salad option. I had the steak sandwich on GF bun, he got the smash burger on a GF bun, which was the only other safe meat option. Smashbuger, fries, cocktails. That's about all we will be coming here for from now on.

The fish and chips are also pretty good with a light, crispy batter. And the kids sliders are the perfect size for littles under 10 yo, otherwise they might need more. And most recently, the server let us know it comes with an ice cream sandwich or a drink--I don't think we were given that option in the past. We've been getting burgers from here for years, and I will say the burgers are consistently great. The fries seem to have changed over the years--I feel like they don't salt them anymore, but I prefer that because then I can control it from being too salty.

I finally found a BBQ spot in the suburbs that I absolutely love. Chicago Culinary Kitchen has a…read morecool rock n' roll vibe, and everything we ordered was delicious. For the hand-cut meats, we tried the brisket and pulled pork. Both were incredibly tender, smoky, and practically melted in your mouth. We also ordered the cornbread and mac and cheese, and both were standout sides. The cornbread was huge, dense, and still perfectly moist. I was a little worried the mac and cheese would be too spicy because of the Hot Cheetos, but it actually had just the right amount of kick. The combination of creamy mac and crunchy Cheetos made it extra flavorful. To finish the meal, we shared a burger, and wow , it was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You do have to order at the counter, but the staff was super friendly and helpful. They gave us great recommendations on which meats to try, which made the experience even better.

This was the first time ever been to North Point Kitchen and I will definitely be back!…read more Parking is across the street but don't let that deter you from coming to this fantastic restaurant. From the time I walked in, I was greeted by the hostess, who was very nice and same with the bartender Cary. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and is a great date place! There is some great views of the water too and this would be a great place in the summertime! The wedge salad was very good with their homemade dressing and same with the short rib pasta which was more than ample for two people. They only serve gelato, but the salted caramel gelato was hands down the best I've ever had! Cary made a fantastic French martini too! What also impressed me was the locals that were very friendly and made the evening even more enjoyable. If you are in the area, I would definitely stop by and have a fantastic meal, cocktail gelato like I did. This restaurant definitely earned their five stars!

Our food was outstanding. We shared an assortment of appetizers (snacks). The Frutti Di Mare was excellent. We wished that the cannellini hummus came with more vegetables and less bread. It was hard to pick from the selection of craft cocktails, they all sounded exceptional. I went with the Moon Flower and it was delicious! Tito's, elderflower, violette, and lemon. A must stop location.
