Friendly staff…read more So I am going to give ratings based on adults and kids, overall I'm rating based on adults because the palette here on the main menu was more for adults, and I think the kids just didn't understand or weren't used to certain ingredients like Brie etc. Hummus appetizer 5 stars. Really nice. Smash burger (kid) 2 stars. He really was just complaining about tomato of all things because when we tried it, it was a 4, tasted good. Bbq Bacon burger (kid) 3 stars. Adult said 4 stars after he tried it. It had Brie and that why she was saying that. After we tried it, it was very good. Ahi tuna salad. Excellent. 4.5 stars. A little heavy on the crunchy stuff. Tuna and avocado and sauces were nice. Beet salad. 5 stars. Absolutely stunning salad and I hate beets. The goat cheese, beets, walnut, balsamic... real nice combo. Chicken parm sandwich. 3.5 stars. (Kid rating) Overall, very nice menu, great food.

We've also been here a few other non-trivia times, too. Super nice staff (and the owner is awesome), the customers are all super chill and friendly, and the food is great. (The cheese curds make me break my veganism every time and it's so worth it. I do love cheese and miss it lol). They also have a good selection of non-alcoholic beers, which I appreciate now that I no longer drink, (and a THC seltzer, if that's your thing), plus their ginger lemonade is great. I love this place. Great neighborhood joint, great people. It's a great "third place". I'm glad to see that they seem to be doing well, as it's always pretty crowded when we're there. Love to see it.

Had about 45 minutes to kill so I wandered into this little pub on Davis. Nice enough looking place…read morebut not the right music (too "poppy" for the environment). I couldn't make out the beers on tap so I asked the sad sack behind the bar (he didn't welcome me when I sat down) about the beers. He read off the names of the three (of six) I could see so I ordered one. The other three will forever by a mystery. He pours me a 12 oz. "Cold Time" (produced by local brewery Revolution) in a standard (read "dull") mug and places it in front of me. Then he hands me a menu and tells me it's happy hour for 45 more minutes. I ask if the beer he just poured me is the "rotating draft of the month" -- on the happy hour menu for $5. "No," he says (without explanation). So what I want to know is should I have a) just walked out right then and there, b) told him I wanted to change my order, or c) introduced him to the idea that maybe (just maybe) he might have told me about the happy hour special as soon as I sat down like a normal bartender (I bartended through my 20s).

Union Squared in Evanston has been on my must try places for at least a year. I finally decided to…read morecheck it off my list and the pizza was meh. I ordered The Godfather pizza which was $32. You don't get to choose a size but the pizza can accommodate at least 3-4 people. I opted for delivery and the pizza arrived in great shape. The pizza looked nice but it was extremely dry and lacked flavor. I've had Detroit style pizza in Detroit many times and this wasn't it. The pizza can be best described as a breadstick with meat sprinkled on top. I tried to eat the leftovers the next day and ended up throwing out the rest of the pizza. It's rare for me not to finish pizza so Union Squared in Evanston is a giant no.

Since I was grabbing and going today, I used their website to place my order, which was the EleWrap Original meal, which came with a wrap, fries, and a drink. My receipt said it would take about 15 minutes before the food was ready, by I'd say it took only 5 minutes, which was super quick! The gentleman working there was very courteous and kind. He made me feel like a valued customer. The wrap tasted great, but was tiny. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it was their snack-sized wrap. The fries were simple, but I appreciate simple. I was also thrilled that E&V's soda machine had Cherry Coke. Although I didn't stay long, the restaurant and restroom were both clean. I will definitely be back again to try different entrees and sauces!

Wow this place is sooo much better than SG. Wife got the spicy chicken salad with poblano dressing. I got the honey chicken wrap. We ate in and I think as a result our portion size seemed huge. It came in a large wide bowl. OMG the flavor was so good. They ask you if you want to go heavy light or medium on the dressing. We went medium. It was perfectly dressed with fresh greens, and tortilla chips and chicken, avocado, red onions and cojita cheese. It was one of the best salads I've had. Enough to feed two. The honey chicken wrap was also huge. Fresh greens with corn and shopped chicken in fresh tortilla. I would definitely return.

We picked 4 of their options off the wall and the flavors and portions were great. We got medium dressing for all of them. Next time we will do heavy. It's very health-focused. Calories, protein, and fiber are listed on the menu with a lot of high protein options. The restrictions were clearly mapped out. They had healthy drinks available. We really liked the Saint James Teas. We took a star off because the plant chicken doesn't seem to be cooked right. It tasted like a dense dry crouton. We have been eating plant-chicken for 15 years, and they need help in that department. There are some comments on here about cleanliness and service. When we were there, they had a dedicated cleaner, wiping the counters between orders and it was very clean, so it looks like they have addressed those concerns. The customer service is still not warm, welcoming, and smiley, which obviously won't help their business. We don't care because we are just happy to have another healthy option besides Chipotle. This could be big. It's better than Protein Bar, Subway, Sweet Green, & Picnic.

Blind Faith Cafe has a pretty great selection of things to choose. Prices can be high but that's to be expected and usually it's worth it. The menu includes things like burgers and salads. Bigger than expected to be honest. It's got a lot of room for banquets and parties. There's quite a few tables. A lot of things to like about it. The prices are one thing not to like though. It's about $17 for the cheapest entrees. Many of these are a lot more. I got the Blind Faith Burger. Pretty typical looking. This comes with a choice of a side. She had the Gardein Chicken Sandwich, which is plant based except for the mayonnaise on it. The rest of the menu includes bakery items like cookies and pastries. For sure this is one of the pioneers of vegetarian places around the area. It's closed Mondays. They accept reservations.

Portion size is also satisfying, and I had a bit of rice leftover. I liked their seaweed too, instead of the typical bright green strings, it was the one you'd find in soup. I did want to ask for a tad bit more sauce, maybe because I got a lot of toppings I needed more. I'd go here regularly for my poke bowls, i dont think you can beat the price and portion.

I went with two friends to Metekhi. We focused on the vegetarian dishes this time (though we eat everything), and got the cold appetizer combo along with a tomato/cucumber salad; another cold appetizer with eggplant; a hot bean stew and another hot main course with mushrooms, potatoes and a little tomato sauce. The food was wonderful, and these days where you often get ripped off for really mediocre food, I was pleasantly surprised. Each dish was prepared with a lot of love and care, well seasoned, NOT overusing oil, butter or salt, and also beautifully presented. The herbal seasonings were unusual to me, but delicious. They have a lot of vegetarian/vegan options, which is really cool because I expected a menu with cuisine from this part of the world to be very heavy on meat and starches (I'm half-Polish, have been to Poland, Russia, the Czech Republic, and have tried other Eastern European and Central Asian cuisines). The decor is also really cozy and nicely decorated to convey the vibes of Georgia. Amazing how the inside of these strip malls can be transformed. Come and support this new gem in Skokie/Skevanston. I really want them to succeed, because sometimes I shake my head at what places fill crowds and get great ratings in this area. Metekhi is genuinely good. It's not cheap, but as bagel joints can charge nearly $15 for a sandwich today, it's seems to be the sad times we're in, so you want a memorable experience incl. food/service/ambience. Metekhi delivers on all three. Sharing a few dishes here with friends is a good idea.

We didn't love the pkhlovana version as much, but it was still very good (just a lot of onion flavor when we ordered). While super basic, their fried potatoes are insanely good. I'd also recommend any stew on the menu. They have a great selection of Georgian wines as well, which I highly recommend. For those who don't drink alcohol, they offer a wide variety of compotes as well. The decor/ambiance is very Eastern European. There is a coat check at the entrance which is very handy. Service is very friendly, but they have seemed understaffed the times we've gone. It did take some time to get the waitress' attention, but it also seemed that she was the only one taking orders from several tables. Definitely a slower service, but it's good for large groups to talk over a great meal.
