Both were shareable portions, although I did not want to share my spinach dip. It was that good!! I had the bbq salmon for my main course, I really enjoyed it, it was seasoned well and had a nice bbq flavor. My favorite was the dessert! The key lime pie was amazing. My server, Bree was very nice and attentive. She suggested the key lime pie and I am so glad she did! Beautiful setting, very spacious. The drinks were AMAZING!

I went to The Greggory for my first time on Saturday and it was absolutely phenomenal. I started…read moreoff with the Sakura to drink which was very refreshing and tasty - as someone who typically likes Lemon Drops, I really enjoyed it. We ordered the Pop Over Rolls to start off our meal and they were some of the best rolls I've ever had. I really liked that they had a hint of cheese and the butter was also delightful. To eat, I ordered the Summer Corn Ravioli and it was one of my favorite pasta dishes I've probably ever had. I did get it without the mushrooms as I typically am not a fan of mushrooms but the ravioli was perfectly cooked and the flavors were simply divine. My party also ordered various meat dishes that they all raved about as well. We did order the brussel sprouts and asparagus to share - I enjoyed the asparagus but did not try the brussel sprouts given they had bacon in them. We didn't order dessert BUT did get a fantastic vanilla cake with raspberry sauce for dessert that our server brought given it was my mom's birthday dinner. The cake was SO delicious and I was very happy we got it! To top it off, our service was amazing throughout and it was an overall wonderful experience. Thank you, The Greggory team, for a great first experience! We cannot wait to be back!

Absolutely amazing, and they debone right at your table. Also had the crab pasta and had a good taste of our friends market Wagyu steak. It was like butter. Keep in mind. This is not going to be cheap though. If you're gonna go to this place, expect not only excellent service but not your McDonald's prices. Saw a couple of the next table come in and order a hamburger and fries. Seriously? You come to this place for a burger and fries? (Lol). I'm sure the burger and fries was excellent, but this place is not known to be a burger joint, even though it's on the menu but again, to each his or her own. I wouldn't come here just to have a burger. There are many other places that do that. Step it up a little. Come here for a higher tier of food caliber. That being said: Our server was excellent. The manager along with the chef / the wine "professor"- (he was excellent as well- extremely knowledgeable, and paired our bottle of wine perfectly with all our meals) along with everyone else who came by to check on us. But our server was absolutely attentive and great. He wasn't pushy and he was very easy-going but very astute and had all the attention to detail. So hopefully we made his night when we came to the tip. (we weren't slouches, nope.). I wish I remembered his name, it wasn't a typical name, but he was outstanding. That being said, make sure that you pack away a couple "bones" when you see the check- also make sure that you tip your waiter for the outstanding job that they do. So don't skimp on that either. So again: It isn't cheap, but a place like this shouldn't be. We had a great experience overall- Also, this isn't your T-shirt and shorts type of place. You have to dress up. No schleps.. Capeesh?!!? leave your sandals at home. Which it should be. This is an experience, not your local In-N-Out Burger joint. Excellent and tasteful decor- excellent service highly highly highly recommend.

Non-Drinker's, Out-of-State Patron Review:…read more It's a solid restaurant. The chain, and specifically this location, came highly reccomended by a local & family member who's an airline executive. The set-up here of which defies comparison to any known similar chain back home in CA that I can think of. Parts winery, wine bar, wine store, tasting area, restaurant, take-out eatery. Checks off several boxes, all centered around the wine appreciation & drinking experience. 6 of us dining al fresco under a gorgeous late summer setting sun in this suburban Chicago village. Started off with appetizers, Drunken Shrimp & the Over-the-Border Egg Rolls, which were both good. Alongside polishing off 3 or 4+ bottles of wine during the visit for the 5 out of 6 of us drinking (myself excuded). Wine comes out served in visually cool aerator-decanters upon request (which are also available for purchase in the foyer giftshop). There were no complaints whatsoever with the wine selections from any of the seasoned wine-drinkers in our party, lol. Each of us got something different entree-wise from the menu: Myself the Keaton's Spaghetti & House-made meatballs, others getting the Braised Short Rib Risotto, Dana's Parmesan-crusted chicken, Tim's Favorite Chicken Giardinera, a vegan plate and another unrecalled selection. They were all great, with no complaints. Service is very knowledgable & adequate with prices quite reasonable, all things considered. Dining here I observed resembles more of a European vibe. In that you come and stay awhile in an unhurried atmosphere. Drink a bottle or two of wine, eating, talking, laughing, (crying?) about life's complexities. Then maybe order a few more rounds or bottles...and call it a night after 2+ hours or so. Staff & servers seem to embrace this idea too. Come in, hang out, take your time, order a few bottles, eat, no rush. Different but not necessarily disagreeable from a West Coast perspective that seems to value moving through a meal as expediently as possible. Although there's nothing holding you back if you wanted to blow through a visit here either. A dedicated take-out area in this regard serves that purpose also. The men's restroom could've used some attention on this Tuesday eve. Overall, a great & impressive introduction for this 1st timer to Cooper's Hawk. Thank you.

I used to work as a server so I know it's not her fault and honestly even if it was hers I wouldn't have been rude because it happens. However - when I told her she brought me another ramekin of slaw and... that was it. I sat with the offending hair on the side of my plate while I had the rest of my slightly overcooked salmon and wasabi potatoes. When she brought the check it was still full price and she just said "thanks for not freaking out". Y'all this conditions customers to freak out, treat polite customers the same as you would someone yelling at you.

5 all the way for location, value, service, titillating menu, and vibes!…read more We came here for a girls' boozy brunch and OMG -- basically everything was FIVE STARS. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the crab & shrimp bruschetta, but literally EVERYTHING else we ordered was scrumptious, UBER delicious, and the perfect size for sharing. Check out the pics because we definitely did brunch RIGHT. The absolute MUST-HAVES are the French toast, honey-glazed Brussels sprouts, monkey bread, Southwest scramble, and the frosé. SO. GOOD. I'm also adding the giant ice cream sundae to my non-negotiables because it was ridiculously fun to make, absolutely delicious, and perfect for sharing with the girls. It's a MUST HAVE! And the service?! 10/10. We were totally taken care of by Lydianne, and she was so attentive, sweet, and just an all-around amazing host/server for our party. She made sure we had everything we needed and really added to the whole experience. Such a fun spot for a girls' brunch, especially if you're looking for good food, drinks, sharing plates, and a whole vibe. We will definitely be back! P.S. They have LIVE entertainment during brunch! Such a fun surprise and it really takes the whole experience to another level. This place is beautiful, lively, and honestly such a perfect spot to celebrate a birthday, girls' day, special occasion, or just because. The food, drinks, service, atmosphere, and entertainment made it a total vibe from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

Hi there! Hub-hub and I (and let's not forget our little Puppy) wanted a nice spot to eat breakfast…read moreon a beautiful Saturday morning. We ended up here! We were seated promptly, and brought menus- which we immediately perused! I ordered a build-your-own omelette with Havarti cheese, peppers, and sausage. It came with hash brown taters and pancakes. Ok- now a place that purports to be a pancake place should have good pancakes and syrup that's awesome. The pancakes weren't all that. Too tough - and the greater sin was that the syrup was already on the table in portion-controlled plastic containers. In other words- it wasn't hot, fresh, nor was it that good. And sure enough- the pancakes were tough. The syrup was cold. The omelette was nice and fluffy- no issues there at all! The hash brown taters were - well- abundant! Probably too abundant (darn it) as I couldn't finish them all. Hint - bring out warmed up syrup with the pancakes, please! Hubby had an acai bowl which he labelled "Yummy" - yay! One of us got a good breakfast! Service was just fine- not special over great. The prices were reasonable and the ambiance was just perfect. So- will we come again? Maybe. Maybe. But I'll avoid the pancakes - they need some work.

First time at Chicago Street Pour in Elgin, and I ordered to go…read more The painted words outside on the glass advertising the chicken pita is actually what made me stop in, but when I ordered it, the bartender said they don't offer it and it wasn't on the menu either. I ended up ordering the $9 lunch specials: a cheeseburger with scoop fries and chicken fingers. My husband said the cheeseburger was okay, and the customer service was friendly. One thing to note: the other lunch specials come with scoop fries, but the chicken fingers do not, they only come with dipping sauces. So I ordered an extra side of fries. The fries were actually good, but unfortunately, the chicken fingers were not. They were very, very greasy and not crunchy at all. Maybe the cooking oil wasn't hot enough, or the frying technique was off. I ended up removing all the beer batter breading, ate two of them, and tossed the rest. Overall, friendly service, but the food was just okay for our first visit. I'd probably try something different IF I return.
