    Black Cheese Varenyky. A+++
    Nataliya Z.

    I think "Velour" is the best Ukrainian restaurant in the Chicagoland area nowadays! I discovered this place when I googled places with the live music for my daughter's big birthday and we decided to stop by for tasting dinner. Born in Ukraine, I can confirm the authenticity of the cuisine. We tried several appetizers and main dishes and every single dish was A+! Fish soup had a wonderful flavor, black cheese Varenyky proved the chef's skill to make an excellent house made pasta , traditional Ukrainian Banosh (a Ukrainian version of Polenta on cream served with feta and pork fried lard) was mouthwatering, Golubci (Stuffed Cabbage) that we ordered as appetizer melted in the mouth and had an absolutely perfect proportion of the meat and rice complimented by a masterfully created sauce. Our main dishes did not disappoint either. My husband's octopus was tender and well seasoned, Kyiv chicken was lightly breaded and was very tasty, beautifully plated duck leg confit was at the level of the best French restaurants , and the roasted rabbit leg in the mushroom sauce , so rarely seen on the other menus, was to die for. We were so full after the dinner that we ordered our desserts to go to enjoy at home. This gem with masterfully crafted cocktails, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the unique ambiance and unparalleled service is truly the greatest representation of the exquisite Ukrainian cuisine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The adequate prices and personal attention to each customer makes this restaurant a Must Go! I highly recommend!

    Amazing food, amazing service. What an amazing experience. Thank you so much. Anastasiia was our server she was so nice and told us all about the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We felt so comfortable and the food was so good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Eaten deserts

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a beaitiful place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly service and an elegant atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our expectations were very high, and 2 out of our 3 deserts were delicious (the apple and mango), however, the cashier prompted us to buy a 3rd (the heart shaped guava), and it was extremely unplesant. It tasted like the smell of buring cannabis. For the price, it left us very unsatisfied.

    Velour knocked my expectations out of the ball park. We checked out this fancy dainty Ukrainian restaurant in the evening and was pleasantly surprised how flexible the wait staff and chef was able to accommodating serving the breakfast menu as well as we were curious to try out one item from each menu! I absolutely adore the enthusiasm our waitress, Anastasia had to help us select the perfect meal. Anastasia was extremely patiently and friendly in offering answer my questions, offering her insight as to which items were most popular as well as her own favorite items. We wound up trying and really liking the juicy and tender ribeye steak as well as the heart-shaped snickers cake. You definitely need to come check out Velour!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super aesthetically pleasing interior and food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Especially the desserts. They're so adorable and we were hoping to get the rabbit one but they ran out. Food was delicious as well and cool how there's sort of like a plating montage for the foods on their virtual menu. Would highly recommend this place for a catch up with a friend to get drinks and dessert or have a full on meal!

    This restaurant is in a kind of strip retail strip center with a nail salon and a ups store but don't let that fool you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the way in the restaurant their was a nice lady watering all the plants surrounding the entrance which gave it a warm bright feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As you walk in the space is sleek, warm and beautiful. It's modern but inviting with soft pale green colors and warm cream flowers beautifully painted on the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have some really cool swings set up as tables which was neat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As for the food, it was absolutely amazing. Everything fresh to order and our waitress was phenomenal and gave great suggestions and descriptions of the food. As good as the food was the dessert counter was amazing as well. It looked like something out of a culinary magazine. Overall wonderful experience. I live in Alabama and was on a holiday but wouldn't hesitate to make the trip just for this place.

    The mango is the star of the show! A must try!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything is 10/10 here. The atmosphere, the food, the people, the vibes, and the service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is an absolute gem and something I will be gatekeeping. Our server Anastasia was simply amazing. She was so warm and inviting, very informative and attentive. We appreciated her honesty and willingness to help us!

    Their desserts are absolutely amazing every time. The mushrooms soup served every Tuesday and Friday is a must order. The steak was a bit tough needs more flavor. The waitress was very polite and knowledgeable as she was the only server there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor and furniture was simple and comfortable, the colors were comfortable to look at made it easy to sit and relax in such a cafe style setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place will for sure be a place I would love to come back

    Rose Latte & Passion Fruit Mousse

    This place is beyond amazing! Their desserts are not only beautiful but delicious! Good ambiance! Very friendly staff! Delicious coffee - the only thing I would recommend is getting long handled spoons instead of the paper straws. In my option, they don't really go well with hot coffee!

    A Pear dessert: Ingredients: not showable

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Last time when I went here the atmosphere was amazing and was really vibrant for such a Ukrainian restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Do not judge a book by kits cover because its desserts were phenomenal and amazing, it was a one of kind experience for me. The service was also very good here, they were checking up on on me every 10 or so minutes. Must go to Ukrainian restaurants in Chicago suburbs!

    We came here for girls lunch to celerae the holidays. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is very cute and has a good girlfriend vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a breakfast menu and a regular food menu. We ordered mostly from the regular food menu. Great food from appetizers to desserts, my personal favorite is the duck leg. Very special coffee menu too - I tried rose latte for the first time and I can taste the rosy hint. The raspberry mousse dessert looks so pretty and tastes even better. Our waiter is very tentative and keeps checking to see if everything is okay. We spent a good afternoon here and I would recommend this place

    Gorgeous decor

Welcoming, comfortable, and the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. Everything we've tried has been excellent. Our go-to order has been the wings and the chicken Caesar salad, which are both consistently delicious. But today we tried the Shia LaBuffalo Bowl, and WOW it was absolutely incredible. And honestly, the name alone deserves bonus points. So clever! We cannot wait to try the rest of their menu, EVERYTHING sounds delicious. We have to give a huge shoutout to Katie behind the bar. She makes us feel at home every single time we visit. She's warm, friendly, funny, and an exceptional bartender. I'm pretty particular about an Aperol Spritz, and Katie makes my favorite spritz in the city. She also makes an amazing mango margarita and a fantastic spicy watermelon marg. Great food, amazing drinks, and the kind of hospitality that keeps you coming back. We absolutely love this place and highly recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed!

I love that as soon as you enter, you are transported to a tropical oasis that is dark and moody. I visited with a larger group so we made a reservation before. One pays $5 per person in your group and the amount is later applied to your bill. The food menu is minimal and most items weren't available sadly. We got two orders of their pineapple salsa with taro chips. It was yummy but wasn't enough substance to match the drink levels. For drinks, our group got a wide variety. They have all sorts of flavor pairings to accommodate every guest. I got the Captain's Revenge after hearing the Pearl Diver was unavailable. It was good but not amazing. For my second drink, I got the Chocolate Banana Old Fashioned which I thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't hear anyone in our group be disappointed with what they ordered. Our server, Jazmine, was very knowledgable about the menu and asking the right questions to make sure what we each ordered would be something we liked. Overall, this was a fun experience and I am happy I finally got to visit! My experience was slightly tainted with how much was not available the night we visited.

    We had our wedding at Moonflower, and it was amazing! We…read moreoriginally found Moonflower on Zola. Although we are from the area, we had never visited before, and the photos immediately caught our attention. The bar fit our vibe perfectly, and after visiting a few times, we knew it was the right place for us. We rented both spaces: the main bar upstairs and Nightshade, the speakeasy downstairs. Moonflower has a small stage in the main bar, which we used for our ceremony. The space already has so much character that it needed very little decorating. We brought small flower vases and an altar piece that the bride and her now mother in law made together. After the ceremony, we held cocktail hour and served food buffet style in the main bar. Later, everyone moved downstairs to Nightshade. Its lounge atmosphere and dance floor were perfect for our 50 to 60 guests. Some people relaxed around the cocktail tables while others danced, so everyone could enjoy the night in their own way. Moonflower's event organizer, Morgan, was wonderful. She made the entire planning process feel easy and was a joy to work with. She helped turn our ideas into reality, assisting with day of logistics, décor, beverage packages, and every question that came up. She was always responsive and available. Morgan also helped us think through details that had not occurred to us, including coffee for our guests, explaining the parking situation, contacting nearby businesses about using their lots, and recommending DJs. We ultimately hired one of the DJs she suggested. Her extra support was incredibly helpful and took a great deal of stress out of planning. If you have not tried Moonflower's drinks, you are missing out. Their regular cocktail menu is fantastic, and our experience was even more special because of a custom cocktail session with Zach. He created signature drink options for each of us based on our tastes and favorite cocktails. Every option was spectacular, and the final drinks felt personal and special. We chose Funeral Potatoes for the food. Since they already handle the food at Moonflower, we were able to try many dishes beforehand. Our guests raved about everything. We especially recommend the brussels sprouts, deviled eggs, and caprese sandwiches. Alexis, who heads up Funeral Potatoes, was also extremely helpful with selecting the menu. The only outside food we brought in was our wedding cake. The entire staff was phenomenal. Everyone treated the occasion with the perfect balance of care, professionalism, and fun. The night went off without a hitch and was truly one of the best nights of our lives. Moonflower was also extremely reasonable compared with other venues we considered in the city, especially with an open bar and food available on site. Street parking was plentiful, and none of our guests had trouble finding a spot. For anyone looking for a relaxed wedding for 50 to 60 people with a memorable lounge atmosphere, fantastic staff, buffet style food, and exceptional cocktails, Moonflower should be at the top of your list.

Street parking was easy to find which is a plus. Its walk-ins only but my party of 6 were able to get a table no problem on a Friday night. To drink, I started with the Oolong Martinez. It was good but way too strong for me so I just gave it to my husband lol. I opted for the Kiss & Tell instead except I asked for no mezcal. Much lighter and refreshing! I believe they have a downstairs lounge called "Nightshade" which serves their own special menu. My goal is to go downstairs next time! Their food is GAS!!! Everything I ate was a 5/5 for me - especially the party fries and the moon burger. We got the deviled eggs and funeral potatoes for the table and I was blown away (both of these menu items rotate flavors monthly). Also FYI - They have a photobooth!!!! I love photobooths!
