Stumble across Red Barrel...the drinks were good and the appetizers sweet sticky chicken was decent the fries were tasty. But my pasta dish was FULL OF SALT. I couldn't finish it. My Freind and husband did the fajitas with steak, chicken and shrimp and they cleared their plates so even though this is supposed to be an Italian place stick with the Mexican cuisine. The kid meal was a good deal and my 10 year old enjoyed it but it wasn't big enough portions so we ordered too. Will I be back? No but it was an interesting experience

I always passes here and thought that it probably was really old fashioned. Well I was wrong, the place is bright yellow and the dance floor is a pretty big dance floor considering that the place is not showing its true size from the outside - impressive Polonia. I was impressed also with the fact that they decorated the heck out of this place and it was really tastefully done. The colors were bright and the place was magic for the party that was about to begin. I also must admit that the family style dinner that they serve is really good quality. Of course for being a hall, the food was really good. Since most of the time the foods served are bland. But I must admit that the pasta dish was in fact over salted. What can you do right? The rest of the dinner as well as the night was pretty nice. Parking is pretty ample, except I did notice that the girls who were serving the meal made sure as soon as you were done, the plate would be removed. Not cook, but hey they are trying to get home so I can totally appreciate the effort. Till they get a fork in their hand, than they understand.

Your customer service was absolutely unmatched--you were incredibly accommodating and thoughtful every step of the way. The venue was stunning, and we truly appreciated your helpfulness and suggestions throughout the planning process. You made both Kita and me feel so welcome. We especially loved the open-concept space, which gave us the freedom to transform it and get creative in ways that made the celebration truly special. Words can't fully express our gratitude! It was a 10 out of 10 experience, and we will absolutely recommend Loft on Lake to others and continue to spread the word. With love and appreciation, Que & Kita

Being a foodie himself, we even got to talk about where some ingredients at the various restaurants come from (like California tomatoes at Lou's!). The River North Food Tour did NOT disappoint.

It was a great way to start our journey of Chicago and I absolutely loved this tour! Definitely recommend it for anyone who's coming to Chicago for the first time!

River North My…read moresister and I decided to include this food tour in our weekend plans. We gathered with 16 others (huge tour!) to meet Jake, our tour guide, around 3pm to sample some culinary highlights of the neighborhood. Having been on several food tours across the country on the east coast, west coast and in Chicago, I think that this tour was somewhere in the middle of the pack. There were some major pluses - Jake was friendly and very informative, he was sanitary and put on gloves when he handled our food (major plus), he offered a good amount of information about several key historical Chicago landmarks and he called ahead so the food was ready when we arrived at each stop. The six stops on the tour included relatively well-known restaurants - The Doughnut Vault, Lou Malnati's, Xoco, Al's Beef, Carson's barbecue and More cupcakes. At each stop we sampled fare such as a half donut, a small piece of cheese pizza, soup, a 2 inch piece of an Italian beef sandwich, half of a pulled pork slider and a mini cupcake. The food overall was pretty good. The pizza at Lou Malnati's and the pulled pork and barbecue sauce at Carson's were the best bites of the day. While the tastes equated to a nice snack, I wouldn't cancel your dinner plans! The stops were a little ways away from each other, which allowed us to get in a nice little exercise but it may have also contributed to the fact that we weren't full at the end of the tour. For the Living Social deal, this was a good tour. I'm not sure I would've felt the same way if we had paid full price. If you're a local foodie, like my sister is, this may not be the best tour for you. She had been to 5 of the 6 places before. Unlike other tours, there weren't really any "hidden gems" that we uncovered. If you yelp "best pizza Chicago" or cupcakes, etc. these places will come up. But, if you're visiting town, like I was, this is a nice way to sample the popular foods in the city. I had been to a couple of the places before but I didn't mind returning. Overall, we had a nice experience with Sidewalk Food Tours. It's nice to see that the company has expanded beyond NYC. They really have something special going on there. The food truck tour that we did about two years ago when they were starting up in Manhattan was excellent! ADDENDUM: YIKES! - Did you see the warning from Yelp? Sidewalk Tours of Chicago is soliciting five star reviews on Facebook by offering free tours???? That's not cool! Maybe that explains all the pristine reviews!!! Shame on you Sidewalk Tours!
