Family members also got the kids' size quesadilla and the Mexican-burger. Horchata was the best. Loved the cinnamon. The consome for the birria tacos was a bit watery and bland. The quesadilla cheese did not melt very well and the nachos also had unmelted cheese. Flavor wasn't bad but wasn't stellar either. Food was 3/5 but I'm giving them an extra star because they were able to seat us very quickly when we were very hungry after a lot of traveling.

My father and I ordered the glass noodles, spring rolls, and dumplings. While all three items were excellent, the spring rolls stood out. The dipping sauce was particularly delicious.

There are several dishes each for vegetable, seafood, and meat, as well as pasta dishes, small bites, and desserts. My favorites were the PU burger and the Arrachera. Both were unique and had distinct enhancements that took the dish above your normal fare. The burger had a super melty cheese that was almost like a hollandaise sauce. Bun was so soft. The Arrachera had delicious chimichuri as well as potato pave on the side that complemented the meat perfectly. The cocktail list was also excellent with a ton of variety. 'The Last Word' was delicious as well as the aviation. Service was friendly and very helpfully explained the menu options to us. Overall a great experience at Port Union and well worth a visit.

I'm giving Bloom 4 stars instead of 3 because they are a plant-based restaurant; however, I have…read moredined here several times and there have been short comings of one kind or another on the past few occasions - either food expectations or service seem to fall short of a high-priced restaurant experience. My main grudge on this night was the pour of sparkling wine (brut). Champagne flutes are typically six ounces. A standard pour of wine is five ounces. That means a pour of sparkling wine should stop about 1 inch from the rim of the glass*. Not so this time. I thought the bartender had emptied the bottle and was going to continue his pour with a new bottle, but no - that was not the case (I was seated at the bar.) I had gotten only about 3 out of 5 ounces of a $16 glass of wine. Not cool since every patron is charged an automatic 20% hospitality surcharge per check. (It looked more like a pour for a toast at a wedding!) Other than this major lapse in bartending etiquette - and yes, I considered saying something at the time but did not, hence, this review - my meal was fine (with the exception of the onion tart - not what I expected an onion tart to be: go with the crab cake!). *Note: I have worked part-time in F&B from 1994 to 2024 in all manner of restaurants/catering/country clubs, etc., including as a BASSET certified bartender, so I know what a pour of wine should be (and look like) in a standard champagne flute!

We are NOT vegan and had no idea it was a vegan ice cream shop until after we ordered. It was delicious! The sizes are pretty big. The shop itself is a little small, I would plan on ordering and enjoying on the bench right outside. Would recommend and would make an effort to visit next time we are in Chicago!

Highly recommend the crab rangoon + soulful platter. ===== Stopped by one weekend near opening and was able to get seated right away! They have a good number of tables outside and inside and seem overall fairly popular since there were already a few tables before us. The menu is huge and had seemed to be mostly Asian-ish, with some other items sprinkled in. We ordered: - crab rangoon - 5/5 - very tasty and light, sauce was a great complement - soulful platter with 'chicken' wing - 4.5/5- loved the variety of components. The 'chicken' wing was a highlight and had great texture and flavor; cornbread was also really tasty. Mac and cheese had a strong nutritional yeast flavor, which I enjoyed, but kind of wish it were more cheesy. Mashed potatoes were ok. Generous portion of collard greens. - mush love - 3/5 - huge portion, but the breading was very thick and crunchy. I wish the individual pieces were split up more and the breading a bit lighter; i also wish the sauce were the same as the one for the crab rangoon. This one was more of a bbq. Definitely would come back to try more items on the menu! I was intrigued by the drinks, though they were extremely expensive (e.g. 9$+). Staff were friendly, and I appreciate the disclaimer on the menu that they pay their staff a livable wage.

Update from 4/28/2025 review, The Geo ?? had the most piss poor attitude from the beginning of my 1st transaction to this one. He started to gaslighting me that i was arguing(trying to make a scene)when I attempted to educate him on the reward program. I really kinda like a few things I On my 1st visit before I left the drink, I forgot to alert him that I wanted light ice so My drink, he mumbled that all he could do was pour out some of the ice. So that was very cold of him. He was rushing for no reason. I also witnessed the same crappy service without another young lady, maybe some woman hurt him, and he's taking it out on us women :( The service is a concern it makes the entire experience extremely cold and not worth the overpriced items. The only dessert they have is the cookie Everything else tastes like big ass globs of peanut butter. Yuck. Not sure how you're still open. People must be really desperate. I am retiring from this place. I would prefer Visiting "My Pie" Visit date 4/26/25 Saturday

Lincoln Ave., and between the menu and the name (yes, the elephant caught my attention), I knew I had to check it out. There's plenty of street parking in the area, I went on a Sunday, so meters were free. The interior is bright, green, and inviting, with lots of seating and great natural light coming in from the front windows. There's also outdoor seating, but it was a bit too cold the day we went, so we stayed inside. Service is counter-style, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. It's fairly simple, but still fun and satisfying. I ordered an Impossible burger, tater tots, and a strawberry almond milk smoothie. My friend got fries, so I was able to try both. After over 40 days without fried food, I was especially excited for the tots and they did not disappoint. Overall, the food was good and solid across the board. Nothing that completely blew me away, but definitely satisfying. If you're vegan or vegetarian and craving a classic burger experience, this is a great option. The smoothie was good as well, though I personally prefer fruit-forward smoothies with lighter juices, so the almond milk base wasn't quite my favorite, but it still complemented the meal nicely. Overall, if you're looking for a casual sit-down spot with a cute atmosphere and a solid Impossible burger at a reasonable price, Elephant + Vine is a great choice. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The lemonade I had was out of this world delicious. I think it was mango I just told them to give me whatever was good. I had a vegan gyro sandwich and it was ginormous!! I could only eat half of it so I made a nice leftover meal the next day! The only downside is it shares a kitchen with a carnivorous restaurant so I was confused at first because I thought it was a vegan restaurant and when I walked in they asked me if I wanted a vegan menu or a regular menu, and there were people next to me eating meat. So if you are vegan just be aware of this. Overall it was delicious and I would go back to try more menu items. And hopefully bring more people so we can sit at a table.
